THE FAMOUS YELLOW
DAY OF NEW ENGLAND

A quarter OF a century ago, on the sixth
OF September New England was terrified
by startling phenomenon. Early In the
morning, although neither fog nor haze
was perceptible. the sun was obscured
and the atmosphere was pervaded with
peculiar, yellowish Hight. which lent "A
strange and unnatural appearance TO ev-
ery object The natural green OF all vege-
tation was modified and changed to an
orange tinge The interiors OF buildings
grew so dark that IL became necessary TO
resort to artificial light. Gas, instead OF
it's usual yellowish hue, gave out pure
white light strongly resembling that Of
electricity.
AS the day advanced the sky grew
darker and the gloom deepened, until, at
/ O'Clock In the afternoon, 1t was dark
as night Although the mercury was new
er high throughout the day, the atmos-
phere was extremely oppressive, and not
a breath OF wind stirred the leaves OF the
highest tree.
So sure were some that an outburst OF
natures forces was impending that they
prepared themselves for the Judgment
Day.
The climax was reached at about 3
o'clock In the afternoon. An ugly. hrassy
light gradually took tbs place OF the
treacherous- looking clouds OF deep black
recalling to the minds OF many the Scrip
tural prophecy regarding the last uay.
Slowly the light became clearer, but per-
feet daylight was not restored. Shortly
before o'clock the moon appeared and
the atmosphere resumed its normal condi-
ton, 10 the great relief OF every. one.
Various opinions were expressed as to
the cause OF the phenomenon. very
general belief, after all sense OF danger
was past, was that Il was smoke from
forest fres then raging In Canada. 9th
ers advanced the belief that the earth
had become entangled In comets tail,
but they were reassured by Prof. Edward
G. Pickering OF Harvard observatory,
who announced that mo comet or copets
tail was near the earth In September,
lSs1"
Dr. c. f. Emerson, professor or natural
history and astronomy at Dartmouth col
iege, in contribution on this event -
Col Everett G. Bentons History OF
Gulldhall, Vermont says:
"It must be something In the atmos-
phere which absorbs the shorter and lar
ger wave-lengths. leaving only those
which give the color Of yellow and
green"
RE also expresses the opinion that this
might have been owing TO the pollen from
fr or pine trees. together with the smoke
from the forest fires In Canada.

SOME TRUE FACTS ABOUT
The SLEEP AND DIE ]

One OF the most important functions OF
that mysterious physical condition we
term sleep is so little understood that
persons who cheat themselves habitually
out Of two or three hours OF their natural
rest every night are heard wondering at
the same time why they are affected with
dyspepsia and malnutriion. Care, even
rigor, I'm the matter OF diet seems TO
avail nothing the stomach continuing In
a condition OF chronic revolt.
In reality the processes Of digestion and
assimilation are 80 closely interviewer
with slumber that unless the required
amount OF sleep Is taken IL is impossible
for the body 10 be nourished IL, indeed,
the food undergoes the ordinary digestive
changes.
II is only when the brain and the entire
nervous system are practically OF duty
that the processes OF ultimate nutrition
take place The food eaten Is finally as
simulated and transformed into new It's
sues, into blood, muscle, nerves and
brain only while the body is relaxed In
slumber.
A curious Illustration Of this necessity
OF sleep is that furnished by the slx-day
endurance races. one man engaged In
these deadly tests eats FIVE times az much
as a man on ordinary labor could cram
down Want OF sleep has rendered II Inn
possible for even the enormous amount
OF food taken at this time into the body
TO form new tissue. ue.--Philadelphia Press.

but a great deal was crinkled down
so that the heads will be lost in
