WHY THEY'RE ALL BLACK.

The color OF a cloud depends on the
manner In which the sunlight falls Upon
IL and the position OF the observer. IL Will
be noticed that high clouds are always
white or light in color, and this Is be-
cause the light by which they are seen Is
reflected from the under surface by the
numberless drops OF moisture which go
TO form the cloud. Heavy rain clouds, on
the other hand, are found much nearer
the earth. and so the light falls on them
more directly from above. giving a silver
lining TO the cloud, though the undersur-
face appears black owing TO the com
plete reflection and absorption OF the
light by the upper layers. Seen from
above by an observer In n balloon, the
blackest rain. clouds appear OF the most
dazzlingly brilliant white.

CHURCHILL'S GOOD WORK.

winston Churchill was beaten for the
Republican nomination for governor OF
New Hampshire only after a long fight
and by the united efforts of the big in
dustrial corporations and the Boston and
Maine railroad. He stood for independ-
ence. That brought the big manufactur-
ing corporations against him. He stood
for putting an end to the railroads con-
troll OF the state legislature. That
brought the Boston and Maine on TO
his back. And, by combining, the two
managed at last 10 nominate their man
instead OF Churchill.
But only after a hard, unscrupulous
fight.
New Hampshire is a long way from
New York in some ways, but II is worth
noticing that even up there the spirit or
independence in politics has begun to
manifest itself. has been reused by
Churchill. and IL will not down. He per-
suaded his party TO adopt his platform,
but that does not mean much-it rarely
does But II Is something.
In his defeat, however, Mr. Churchill
has scored this vlctory-he has convinced
very nearly half his party that the time
has come TO take the government OF their
state out OF the hands OF the corporations
I'm II. make those corporations pay their
fair share OF the taxes. and make them
keep their lobby out OF the state house.
After all, this seems so simple and modest
a measure Of reform that It Is hard TO re-
joce so very much over II.

ence Is there, and what II indicates II
