TAFFY CANDY.

Pulling and Working

why 1t Becomes White Through
Pulling and Working.
You have often wondered and have
even gone so far perhaps as to ask
your scientifically inclined friend why
candy or taffy made from brown sugar
or even molasses becomes white by
pulling and working The question is
not a hard one to find an answer for
provided you look in the right place
but it Is ten chances to one that you
have never seen a solution of the enig
ma in print
First, the exposure to the air and the
friction evaporate the sirup, which
contains most of the coloring matter
and facilitate the oxidation of the
carbon In the sugar, which Is always
white. Sugar contains eleven atoms
of oxygen to twelve of carbon anC
eleven of hydrogen. The strip drained
| from this same sugar in the refining
process not only contains more or les:
of coloring matter, but has a smallel
proportion of oxygen to the amount O
carbon.
Still another reason why taffy Il
whitened by the pulling process is be
cause it Is in effect similar to crush
ing. Pure, clear rock candy, whel
crushed, has its powers of absorbing
light destroyed or greatly impaired, tn
pulverized portions rejecting all tn
elementary colors in each ray, which
Of course, results in the eye receiving
the impression of white light.

AN OCEAN GRAVEYARD.
Sable Island LIS Most Dangerous

Sable Island LIS Most Dangerous
Place For Navigators.
Sable island, sometimes and not too
extravagantly termed the graveyard
of the Atlantic, is set among shoal wa
tiers that afford the best of feeding
ground for the particular kinds of fish
that Gloucester men most desire, hall
but, cod, paddock and what not, and
SO to its shoal waters do the fishermen
come to trawl or hand line.
Lying about east and west, fat
quarter moon In shape is Sable island.
Two long bars, extending northwest
erly and northeasterly, make of 1t a
full, deep crescent. Nowhere is the
fishing SO good or so dangerous as
close In OH these bars, and the closer
In and the sh0aler the water the better
the fishing There are few men alive
In Gloucester who have been In close
enough to see the surf break on the
bare bar, but that was In soft weather
and the bar to windward, and they in
variably got out in a hurry.
Two hundred and odd wrecks of one
kind or another steam and sail, have
settled In the sands of Sable island
OF this there ls clear and indisputable
record. OF how many good vessels
that have been driven ashore on the
long bars on dark and stormy nights
or In the whirls Of snowstorms and
swallowed up in the fine sand before
mortal eye could make note of their
disappearing hulls there is no telling.
A Gloucester fisherman needs no tab
ulated statement to remind him that
the bones Of hundreds of his kind are
bleaching on the sands of Sable island,
and yet of all the men who sail the
sea they are the only. class that do
not give it wide berth in winter

1t IL Cautiously Decorated With His
tOric Pictures.
Few places i'll Switzerland are more
interesting than the historic old city of
Lucerne. at the junction of the river
Reuss and Lake Lucerne, memorabl
for its historic associations with the
heroic legends of William Tell.
Across the river are two wonderful
wooden bridges, the Muehlenbruecke,
or mil bridge" with its quaint pic
lures of the Dance Of DEATH and the
Kapellbruecke, or chapel bridge" This
chapel bridge was constructed as long
ago as 1888 and for nearly 600 years
formed the chief avenue of traffic
across the broad but sluggish stream.
Anciently the bridge extended its zig
gag shape to nearly twice its present
length and reached as far as the Hof-
kirche, or cathedral, whence its name
the Chapel bridge.
In the center of this covered wooden
bridge stands the famous octagonal
Wasserthurm, or water tower, where
In olden times the municipal treasure
was stored For ages it was also used
as a prison and among the dungeon:
as torture chamber.
But the most unique feature OF al
consists of the curious pictures in th'

THE MILKY WAY.

One of the Great Problems of the
Science of Astronomy.
Some Of the streams of fainter stars
in the Milky Way are very striking and
must. convince the most skeptical of
their reality, says scientist.
1t is possible to draw an arc of a
circle through any three stars and a
where we find ten or twenty stars fall
ing into line not once, but in many
cases, and that there is curious SINH
larity between the strange curves and
branching streams which these pha-
langes Of stars mark out on the heav-
ems, there is no room left for doubt
that the mind is not being led away by
a tendency of the Imagination similar
to that which finds faces in the fire or
sees man carrying sticks on the face
of the moon.
If it is proved that group Of stars
is arranged In line or marshaled in any
order it would follow that the individ-
uals of the group must be actually as
well as apparently close to one anoth-
er and that they form some kind Of
system, having all of them Aad COM
mon origin or been subject to some
common influence. What these streams
and curves Of stars mean and what
forces have marshaled them in lines
form one of the grandest problems Of
the future, one that trust may live
to see unraveled.

Humanity In Prison.

It is true there are peculiar speci-
mems of humanity In prisons-cranks,
freaks, degenerates and hardened and
vicious characters-but so are there all
these outside the prisons mixed In with
the other people Of the world in the diff
ferent grades of society. The deliber-
ate professional criminal, with pecul-
lar. and pronounced characteristics and
forming a different type of man and
woman, is too infrequent to constitute
definite class unless he, with many
others not in prison, be considered as
member Of a diseased class In hui
manity. Those who do not agree witt
this impression and persist in believing
that there is a distinct, typical Grim
inal class must. if they study society

In the middle of the German lesson
this same schoolfellow began to muir

and then he whispered, "Grieg has got

The teacher was not very partial to
me, SO he stood up, came to me, looked
at the music book and said in a pecul-
lar, ironical tone: 80 the lad is mu-
steal; the lad composes. Remarkablep'
Then he opened the door into the next
classroom, fetched the teacher In from

Important OmciaIs.

Whether the officers mentioned by
Mr. Whinton In his History of An
trim" (New Hampshire regarded their
position seriously and lived up to their
official dignity is not told. 1t is certain
that the small boys would have hailed
the opportunity Of exercising such
functions with glee and would have
discharged their duties with vigor and
alacrity.
In 1898 the town of Antrim officially
appointed three responsible persons to
fill the position of dog pelters. 1t was
their duty to sit near the meeting house
door and to pelt, drive away or cane
any dogs that dared to enter the sa-
cred edifice. In the official records
Of the town are found votes of subse-
quent years. continuing the vocation
of the dog pelters.
One might question which would
make the most disturbance In the
church, the chance dog or the pelters
in the exercise Of their official duties.

One of the most wonderful things
Mother Nature does is to teach her
children how to accomplish things with
means and appliances that seem en-
tirely inadequate for the purpose. A
bird will build an intricate and beauti-
full nest with no better tool than her
beak birds do not use their claws for
this purpose), caterpillar can shape a
symmetrical cocoon and bees the sharp
angled cells of their combs. These are
familiar instances of this, but by no
means as wonderful as those shown in
the work of some sea animals that live
in shells.-St Nicholas.
