TrODica1 Skies.

To northern eyes the intense bril-
fancy of the tropical and semitropical
sky comes as q revelation. Sometimes
at noon it is painfully dazzling, but the
evening is q vision of prismatic light
holding carnival in the air, wherein
Miiton's twilight gray has no part.
Unless the sky is held in the relentless
grip of winter storm the orient holds
no gray in its evening tones; these are
translucent and glowing from the set
ting of the sun until the stars appear.
In Greece we are dreamers in that sub
tie atmosphere, and in Egypt vision
a1ies under the spell of an ethereal
loveiiness where the filigree patterning
of white dome and minaret and inter
lacing palm and feathery pepper tree
leaves little wonder in the mind that
the ornamentation of their architecture
is so rayishing III it's tracery.-Cen-

to the demand for modification of

which may open the home market to

due largely to natural advantages, as

tlorsing President RoOsevelt's recon-

A Test For SeasicISness.

Many people have a genuine curios-
ity to know if they would be sea sick
in case they should take an ocean voy-
age. An easy way to put the matter to
a test is to stand before the ordinary
mirror that turns in it's frame and let
some one move it slowly and slightly
at first, gradually growing faster, while
you look fixedly at your own reflection.
If you feel no effect whatever from it
the chances are that you can stand an
ordinary sea voyage without any
