Pure Water Sky Blue.

After long hesitation scientific men
agree today in admitting that water
physically pure. seen In mass Is sky
blue. This color is that taken by the
white light Of, the sun when absorbed
by the water. In consequence Of phe-
nomenon the explanation of which
would be little long.
1t Is not due to the chemical purity
of the water. since the sea (Which Is
the hluest Water) is also that which
contains the most salt. Nevertheless,
according to Forel's experiments. the
matter in solution should be the pre-
dominant cause Of the modification of
color. upon which act. besides the mat
ter In suspension, the color Of the bot
tom and the reflection OF the sky and
of the banks. Consequently blue water
is pretty rare in nature; good many
seas and lakes that give us the impress
sion OF this tint are green.
The water at present acknowledged
to be the bluest is that of the Sar-
gasso sea. between the Cape Verde ISL
ands and the Antilles. The water of
the Mediterranean off the French coast
and around Capri is bluer than that OF
Lake Leman, but less blue itself than
that of the lakes OF Kandersteg and
Arolla, in Switzerland. Pure water
containing a millionth Of ferric hydrate
appears brown under a thickness Of six
meters; a ten-rnillionth is sufficient for
1t to be green; and In order that 1t may
remain blue is needed less than twen-
ty-millionth -

HOFFMAN STILL FOR BROATCH
Third Ward spOuter Glad. that Dennison is
Behind Him for Mayor,
LINES UP WITH MAcKAY AS TO SALOONS
says lie Would Rather speak over
Bar Than Disgrace sRnctity
OF a church with
Politics.

With the assistance of a quintet OF colored
musicians w II. Hoffman pulled of his
much advertised meeting at Myrtle hall last
night The crowd numbered more than
fifty at the staff. but this number dwindled
to less than half before Mr.. Hoffman
finished a rather long and rambling speech.
He told the audience that w. J. Broatch
had promised to be present late in tho
evening, but Broatch did not show up and
the meeting closed without him.
In spite of the fact Mr.. Hoffman had
advertised a souvenir to each lady who
attended, none appeared and so the gifts
were distributed to the men in the crowd
The souvenir consisted of a pamphlet life
OF Mr.. Hoffman, containing pictures Of
himself and family, the church in which
no was converted and the railroad train
upon which he worked.
Il was thrown out Of the Budweiser sa-
LOOM" said Mr.. Hoffman, because they
said was furnishing the papers stuff that
was hurting Broatch The reason they call
us gamblers candidates il because they
say Tom Dennison is back Of Broatch. II
he is l am glad Of 1t. for he is the best
political general In Omaha. 1 would rather
have Dennison for leader. but IL Broatch
is elected it will be almost the same.
II would rather speak in a saloon or
over the bar than disgrace the sanctity of
a church by using it for political purposes.
1 was a preacher four years and studied
the gospel SIX years, and l left the church
because 1t had so many narrow-minded
people in it. / am as broad-minded in
politics as 1 am in religion.
ION the saloon question am like Rev.
T. j. Mackay. I believe in raising the
saloons up instead of throwing them down
l don't believe in making fish of one and
fowl of another.
Il am for Hoffman for councilman first.
I'm also whoopin 'er up for w J. BrOatch
all the time. 1t Is time I've been kicked
out of Broatch meetings, but it WASH
Broatchs fault, and I'm for Broatch first,
last and all the time"
Before Mr.. Hoffman spoke Bill Spady,
colored politician from the Twelfth ward,
made a Broatch speech, painting in lurid
colors a picture of a dismal Sunday in
Omaha If anyone but Broatch was elected
mayor.
After the meeting closed Mr.. Hoffman
explained that he did not say much about
Tom Dennison because he had high re-
gard for him and had worked with him
and did not want to do anything TO injure
him politically, especially when they were
both enlisted in the campaign for Broatch
