Whnt Is Sky BIues

The blue color of the sky on a bright. clear day has been constantly noticed by the Individual from childhood. To the primitive lay mind the azure tint of the frman,ent is simply it's natural color. Dut OUT daily experience shows that tn2 visible done of the heavens is only an appearance, and science teaches us 70 inquire critically into the nature of things. The cause of this color. viewed from scientific standpoint. has been almost as Elusive as the fabled phi losophers stone. which during the mid dle ages was for centuries an object Of profound research. The same may be said of the familiar color of the deep blue sen, which las elic:ted the admiral ton of jewellers on the ocean shores from the earliest ages of mankind, and yet probably no great number of indi- viduals hay" inquired into the cause of this color.-T.

sary was an abundance of red Hqnor and it was this which kept Jim from working as long us he could obtain a cent otherwise with which to buy whisky. And Gus was surprised on en- tering the commissary at noon to see Jim in the act of throwing upon the counter the gold coin which he had pressed into Mags hand the night be- fore.
 Gus turned on his heel and, taking up his unopened dinner pail, carried 1t to Jim's cabin and thrust 1t inside the door to Mag. Returning, Gus met Jim, and the latter fiourished a long black bottle before his face.
 It was three days before Jim show I himself about the works again. Then he came lounging about the machine where Gus was working. There was a leer in Jims eye, which made Gus a little nervous. He did not feel alto gether innocent, and once or twice he felt like telling Jim plainly that he loved his wife and that one or the oth- CT of them must die. But as each thought of this kind arose Gus inward
 
 teeth with determination. But Jim re- mained. apparently only watching the work of the pile driver which Gus was operating.
 The afternoon was growing gray in the swamp. and the time of the day shift was drawing to d close. Still. Jim stood on one side of the great pile driver and Gus on the other His thoughts took q new turn as the days end drew ntarer. Mag was irrevocably tied to that clod of earth before him, and she could never be nearer to him than now unlcss-Jim died.
 Gus throttled the thought of possible murder that unbidden, seemed to arise for a moment in his heart. He glanced quickly up at the rising follow block. that great, square lump of steel weigh thought came to him.
 There was n moment of fascination, and, as the block started on its return, it's swift and powerful descent. Gus purposely tripped himself and pitched forward between the grooves, directly In the path of the block. But at the same instant there was.a sudden move ment on the part of Jim. His lank body shot forward, with outstretched arms and hands catching against the breast of Gus and showing him far back from the path of the descending block.
 There was a muffied thud when the follow block struck, and the trunk Of Jim's body was a mass of crushed flesh and bone. Gus regained his feet and sprang forward in time to catch Jim's dropping head In his hands.
 Gus, ye're all right" murmured the lips of the dying man. We're fittin' for Mag, an ain't. Tell her I said for ye to marry tomorrow. No use of wait in'-for-for I reckon Mag's hungry now"
 Jim's eyes glazed, and his jaws be- came set. And Gus held his head in si- lence while the crowd gathered around.
 But Jim had lain In his grave on the hillside full year before Gus deliver ed his message to Mag.

a complete stretch of the walk from

The State of Maine builded better
than she thought when in her spruce
forests she selected her most perfect
trees, made them into proper lengths
and fitted them together for her State
building to be erected on the worlds
fair grounds at st. Louis for the
entertainment of her citizens and
guests during the greatest exposition.
The unconscious purpose acted in
the Maine woods far exceeded the
aims of the builders. The log house
was to have future after the close
of the Missouri exposition of far
greater importance than the service
through the seven months of the great
fair Those stalwart spruces were
reared by wise old nature for larger
usefulness, as the following notes will
show:
When the temporary structure in
the Maine forest was complete and
approved by the architect. it was ia
ken apart. each piece being num-
bcrcd. loaded on cars and transported
to St Louis, and put together again
on the ground reserved for the State
buildings.
Proud were the sons and daughters
of Maine of their log palace. 1t was
TOO large for cabin; it housed more
than family. 4 state made its
headquarters there, and tens of thou
sands of admiring visitors from all
lands rested in its big rooms. and on
it's broad porchcs. The wide fire
place spoke for the big hearts of the
northeast state.
There were more costly buildings in
the states quarters, but not one of these
was so much admired as the log house
of Maine.
Thanks to the thoughtfulneSS, to
the enterprise. to the love of nature of
some of the St Louis citizens, this
house of spruce stands today on the
bank of Missouri's most beautiful
river each log and rafter in its place

the logs are bolted together so as to
withstand the wear of time. This
location is permanent. Future
generations will sit within it's walls
