WHY EVERYBODY LIKES SAND.
Love Of 1t Is Universal and Is Felt at
All Ages.

The love of sand Is universal felt
by all, and at all ages. The child finds
in it ready and plentiful material
for giving something of definiteness
to the world OF his imagination, and
when experience shall have proved
the real world to be less pleasant and
not expressble in sand he neyerthe-
less as grown man tacitly admits
the attraction of the old-time medium
and spends his holidays upon it. No
watering place need trouble as to its
prosperity II it has broad forefront
Of sand.
Probably so general. and ingrained
love is only TO be accounted for as
the result of sympathetic and un-
conscious barking back" to the feel
Of the life on the dry sandy soils OF
the east, upon which man first wan.
dered and in. which he first 'delved
says the London Spectator. He can
sit or lie with greater comfort and
ease-as he originally sat, without a
chair or lay with out couch--upon
sand than upon any other kind OF
earth and upon sand he reyerts read
lily and without fear Of convention to
primeval barefootedness. Possibly
even the charm of the 'sanded floor"
in the concrete to our forefathers
the comfort and coZiness of CHEEKY inn
parlors and kitchens warm with the
ruddy heat Of glowing logs on snowy
nights-may also be due to vaguely
assertive instinct.
In proof it may be "eadily conclud
ed that far distant man would moi
have been long in finding out the ad
vantGges Of dry cave as a dwelling
place. 1t would be found most readily
in soft, friable rocks. The natural
and further easy expansion of the
cave to meet growing demands for
house room by scraping down of roof
and sides would result in sanded
floor. Litter of rude cave living and
housekeeping could be more easily
swept out with the leafy bough of
bunch of edges acting as the original
broom when mixed with sand than
without its aid The savage family
which swept the cave out oftenest
and most thoroughly would certainly
be the healthiest and strongest.

Natural Color Of Pure Water.

1t was long ago discovered that the
natural color of pure water is blue,
and not white, as most of us usually
supposed. Opinions have not agreed
on the cause Of the green and yellow
tints; these, it has been discovered
by w. Spring, are due to extraneous
substances. Dissolved calcium salts,
though apparently giving green tint,
due to a fine invisible suspension,
have no effect on the color of the
water when adequate precautions
are taken. The brown or yellow color
due to iron salts is not seen when cal
cium is present. The green tint Is
often due to a condition of equilibrium
between the color effect of the iron
salts and the precipitating action OF
the calcium salts.-Scientifc Ameri-
