THE Japanese In occupying the Island
OF Sakhalin, separated from the
mainland Of Siberia by the Gulf Of
Tartary and lying northeast Of
that coast, have taken the first step
in invading real Russian territory. The
island Is used by the Russians as a penal
colony, and. while the majority Of the Of
criminals, yet very many Of them are In
exile for petty larceny, political derelictions
and other forms Of misdemeanor hateful to
the Russian system.
When a prisoner Is brought to Sakhaln
chains are riveted on his hands and feet
and he Is never for an instant without them.
Often these bonds are overhauled by the
blacksmiths, and weak link in the chain
Is strengthened, or perhaps an entire new
set of shackles supplants the old bonds.
Women are treated alike with the men In
this way.
One view shows convict In solitary con-
f1nement in a prison house. Most Of the
men there are actually dangerous at all
times, as stated, and need to be kept under
close and constant surveillance, and 1t is
often necessary to enforce prison rules with
solitary confinement and q limited diet of
black bread, none too fresh. and water.
Sometimes, however, a convict will ask to
be placed in solitary confinement because it
may mean that he has been unfaithful to
his oath as member of the "arter' or Sc
cret society Of convicts by revealing infor-
nation and fears their certain, swift and
cruel vengeance. In such a case as this
the convict begs for solitary confinement in
order to gain protection from his enemies.

Why the Sky is Blue.
From the Hesperion.


Every one notices the blue color of the
sky. 1t has grown familiar to all by daily
observation from childhood. yet few per-
sens realize the great scientific interest at
taching to this beautiful color. Sir Isaac
Newton tried to explain the color in the
year 1873 by referring it to the blue colors
seen in the soap bubbles used in his expert
ments. He thought the air was filled with
small particles of water which reflect the
biue portions of the suns light falling upon
our earth and thus produce the blue tints
OF the armament. Sir John Herschel ex-
planned the color of the sky by Newtons
theory, but later writers have proved that
in some respects his theory was wrong.
In 1869 Prof. John Tyndall. the famous
British physicist. found that he could pro-
duce ''sky blue" by experiments in the
laboratory For this purpose he filled a
glass tube about a yard long and three
inches in ,.4ameter, with air Of one-tenth
the ordinary density. mixed with nitrate Of
butyl vapor which is extremely volatile.
Then on passing through the mixture a
powerful beam of electric light in a room
otherwise dark. the mixture precipitated a
bea utiful cloud which in color rivaled the
finest Italian sky. Further experiments
proved to Tyndall that he had at last dis
covered the secret of the blue color of the
sky, which had puzzled the greatest phil
osophers Of all ages.

Liberty to Read.
From Harper's Weekly


Certain recent attacks on library man.
agement in this country make it we'll per-
haps to consider whether we are to have
liberty to read. as well as to think and to
speak.
The issue recently raised by critics of our
libraries is not of limited circulation
of certain classes of books but OF their
possession. These critics say that certain
books should not be on the shelves FOR
any one to consult. however we'll qualified
or immune from contagion. In Boston
and vicinity it has taken the form of pro
test against retention in the libraries or
Scmervle and Cambridge of a book attack
ing Abraham Lincoln. the Grand Army's
members and its officials, asserting that
such book has no place in northern IL
brary.
1t will be most unfortunate II the mood
OF persecution of libraries and library trus-
tees proves conta gious. and finds any or
them weak enough to succumb to pressure
from organizations, military, political or
ecclesiastical. A citizen who pays taxes In
any degree to support a library has the
right to read there whatever Is thought or
written by men. most OF 1t unconditional.

A Song That Lived.
le Manchester On. HD Union.

From the Manchester IN. H.) Union.
1--WE are tenting tonight on the old camp
ground was product OF the darkest days
oe the gigantic fratricdal struggle between
the north and the south. 1t expressed In
words, to a simple melody that has the
peculiar, indefinable, persistent quality of
staying" the thought that upper
most in the hearts of those who were
watching anXiously at home. of those who
were waiting in southern prison pens, OF
those who We're watching, waiting and 40
ing on the campgrounds and on the battle
fields. 1t was sung by these anxious
watchers at home by the weary walters in
the prisons and by the sturdy soldiers OF
camp and field. 1t has since been sung in
every family circle. at every gathering or
the veterans of the war, and ii Will con-
tinue to be sung when the last old soldier
has passed away and when, to those who
sing, the terrible ordeal which brought 1t
forth is not even memory-is only story
OF the past which has come down to them.
Walter Kittredge, in his personality, was
retiring, unassumng, scarcely self-con-
scious man. To the last he failed to UNI
derstand why so many people of whom he
never heard, from all parts of the country
ana from other lands, wrote asking for his
autograph He had written a song and
composed a melody which moved his coun-
trymen to tears, and went about the daily
affairs of his little farm If he was one
OF the most obscure of his townsmen. And
yet he did not lack something Of recogni-
ton in his lifetime. His songs found
ready market. and portion of the profits
came to him In the form, at the last OF
steady and not altogether inconsiderable
income. On more than one occasion, too he
had been the special and honored guest at
national gatherings of the Grand Army OF
the Republic. where his immortal song was
rendered to the stirring accompaniment of
the best music and the applause Of thou
sands. And now. at good old age. the
life Of Walter Kittredge ends, as the flow
up in an illmitable sea. but his song re-
mains and will remain so long as hearts are
weary with waiting and yet hold to some-
thing OF hope in the watching.
