Where Colors Come From

THE cochineal bug furnishes many of the
L most brilliant colors, including the bright
carnine, crimson, purple lake, and scarlet.
The cuttlefish gives the sepia, and Indian
yellow comes from the camel.
Ivory chips produce ivory black and bone
black, and the exquisite Persian blue was dis
covered accidentally by fusing horses hoofs
and other refuse animal matter with impure
potassium carbonate. Crimson lake comes
from the roots and barks of certain trees; blue
black from the charcoal of the vine chalk; and
Turkey red comes from the root of the madden
plant found in Hindustan. India ink is made
from burned camphor by the Chinese.

Plants Need More Breath

OFFICIALS of the Department of Agri-
~ culture are much interested in expert
ments that have recently been made with the
view of bringing out certain facts as to the
circulation of air in the soil.
1t appears that considerable oxygen is
absorbed by the roots of plants, and that the
supply of this oxygen is maintained by air
penetrating through the minute interstices
of the soil When the ground is covered with
water or when the molecules, or grains, of
soil are dissolved in water and packed into an
impermeable mass. then air cannot circulate
below the surface, and vegetation suffers IN
consequence.
The experiments referred to show that lime
or salt in the soil solidifies the earthly mole
cules and prevents their being dissolved and
packed by the action of the water; hence, the
Importance of lime in keeping the ground open
and permeable for the circulation of both air
and rain water

Grease Makes Iron Float

TT is a remarkable fact that if a small rod
L OF iron, straight piece of wire, for in
stance, is creased it be made to float on
water. The grease apparently prevents the
breaking of the surface of the water, and the
iron lies Graded in slight depression, or
trough.
Recently, one of the Government scientists
at Washington, experimenting with rods and
rings of iron, tin, copper, brass, platinum,
aluminium, German silver, etc. found that all
metals, even the densest, will float on water
when their surfaces are chemically clean. A
wire, for example, forms a trough for itself
on the surface of the water, just as if it was
creased. The same is true of small rod Of
glass.
The official in question believes the floating
is due to film of air condensed on the surface
of the glass or metal because if the rod is
heated to redness, and as soon as it cools is
placed on water, it will sink; but if it is ex-
posed to the air for a short time it will float.

Brain Impressions

THE number of impressions which come into
a mans brain in lifetime is startling
Psychologists have computed that since it
takes one-third of a second for an impression
to enter the brain, a man who lived to be a
hundred years old must have collected in his
brain during this time o,46o, 800, 900 copies of
impressions
Deducting one-third of this time for sleep,
there are $780,, 200 900. This would give
3,1s3,6oo, 900 separate waking impressions to
a man who lived fifty years

Artificial Eggs

THE artificial egg a commercial product
L having been abandoned by scientists as an
impossible invention, attention is being drawn
to the preservation of real eggs for indefinite
periods. Canned eggs, lined eggs, cold-storage
, eggs, and eggs preserved in water-glass and
'other chemical compounds are now regular
market products; but the most recent egg
freak consists of hard boiled eggs preserved in
clay and charcoal paste. The idea of thus
utilizing the eggs during seasons of plenty is
derived from China.
The Chinese have preserved boiled eggs in
clay for a long time, and some of them are said
to be centuries old. The eggs are boiled hard
and wrapped in soft clay while hot. The clay
hardene, and looks like pumice stone. They
are packed in bags and rice husks, and kept in
definitely When opened the yolks are green
and the white part almost black; but they

retain distinct egg flavor, and when chopped
fine they flavor sauces and gravies as well as
fresh boiled eggs
The duck eggs are boiled and packed in a
paste of charcoal which hardens about them
and forms perfect protection.
Experiments are now being made in the egg
districts of this country to initiate the Chinese
and go them one better If the color of the
eggs can be retained restaurants may in time
be able to serve hard boiled eggs to customers
without the latter detecting their great age
The character of the clay and charcoal is said
to determine the darkening of the inside,

and yellow of the eggs better than the light

SLEEP FOR CHILDREN.
Value of Complete Rest Inestimable
to Child and Lack Sure to Re
suit in Ills.

The rear value of sleep TO growing
boys and girls can scarcely be overes-
timated. If parents felt the import
ancc of a goodly number of our
sleep to their growing children it
would mean the establishment OF a
new habit of living in many cases.
The babies and little children in a
well regulated household generally
have their maps or sleeping time sys-
tematically arranged for them, and a
good habit is established which gives
a basis for sound nerves and whole
some bodies; but as a child grows
older his nervous activity increases,
and even though he may feel bodily
exhausted his will together with his
intense interest in life and surround
ings combine to keep him awake. He
will beg to remain with his elders
and to enjoy late hours ever when
his weary head is nodding and his
tired eyes are half closed and heavy
with sleep. VIXEN a parent consents
to allow a child to disobey nature in
this way the overburdened strength
must pay the penalty. In many cases
irritability develops when the tired
body and strained nerves are over
taxed, and the child is brought under
q strict discipline and maybe severe
ly reprimanded. The result of the
punishment under such conditions
merely aggrayates a bad nervous
state, and a long line of evils follow
Almost m child is reasonable n
manageable if he is in normal condi
ton, and there is nothing so vital, 50
necessary in promoting a natura
healthy state of existence for a boy
or girl as plenty of good sleep.
The public school of to-day neces
sarily makes very strenuous demands
upon it's pupils. A great deal is eX
pected and demanded from these
young minds and bodies. Time is
passing. New pupils are coming III
every year. Those who now occupy
the room must move along to MAKE
place for others. A certain amount o,
work must be finished. Sanitary o
ditions are not always of the best or
der in our school rooms, Overwork
ed teachers and OyercrOwded rooms
all have their effect upon individual
work and Individual constitutions.
Each child bears a part of the strain
and feels the evil consequences both
physically and mentally. These les
son days are not the easiest days t.
COuqupr after all. The children strug-
