Why Foam Is White.

How white the foam is" said the
pretty girl, in voice muffied by the
sable stole drawn across her red
mouth. Yet the sea is green. Why,
then, isn't the foam green?"
But the young sophomore laughed
In derision of such ignorance.
Gee, you are ignorant" he said.

too. Shake UP black ink and you get
white foam. Shake up red ink and
the result is the same.
"A body that reflects all the light
It receives without absorbing any Is
always white. All bodies powdered
into tiny diamond form, so that they
throw back the light from many
facets, absorb none OF it and are whits
by consequence. Powdered black
marble, for instance. is white. AMI
foam is water powdered into thes }
small diamonds. and hence its white
ness."-Philadelphia Bulletin.

A Lightless Lighthouse.

On sunken reef $50 feet distant
from Stornoway lighthouse Is re-.
.markable beacon which warns mari.
ners with the help of light which
Is only apparent. The beacon is a
cone Of cast-ron plates, surmounted
with a lantern containing a glass
prism. The prism derives its light
from refracting rays emitted from the
lighthouse, and the optical delusion is
marvellous. Mariners naturally sup
pose that there is lighted lamp on
the beacon itself and many of them
will not believe otherwise. But the
object of the beacon is attained when
the navigator sees the reflected light,
which indicates the perilous rock be-
low. This beacon has been in us0
more than half century, and since it
was fixed in position others have been
placed in other neighborhoods ta
make clear points of danger.-Techni'

Lost Land in England.

Great Britain, between 1867 and
1880. lost 14S.s06 acres by en-
croachment Of the sea. Even this
loss is small compared with others in
times past. Thus, according to a
survey in the time OF Edward I. the
duchy of Cornwall had 1900, 900
acres. but a survey in recent years
gives 1t only s2s.50o acres. Whole
villages in some cases have been
slowly undermined and swept away,
as In the case of Dunwich, whereof
only ruined church on the edge Of
a cliff remains.

TOBACCO SENDS WOMAN MAD
Mrs. Alice Mullens Used the Weed
from Childhood, Chewing Two
Pounds Week.

Alton, Ill.-Driven insane by The
excessive use Of tobacco, Mrs Alice
Mullens Of this city has taken to Ed
wardsville after being pronounced in
sance by the Madison County Court
Mrs. Mulens. who is 80 years old,
used tobacco from childhood, chewing
II in great quantities. At times, 1t Is
said. her supply has reached two
pounds a week She began using the
weed when a girl OF 16. and at 30
she was a physical wreck. Since that
time she has lived in Alton township
and given the county authorities all
sorts of trouble.
Mrs. Mullens is an attractive wom-
an and her case is one of the strang-
est the officials have yet had to deal
with. Persons who visited her in her
home say that she often went to bed
with tobacco in her cheek She also
smoked occasionally. a pipe preferred,
although cigars did not come amiss
when proffered to her Scrap tobac-
co is her fayorite, and six big pack
ages were an average weeks supply
for her. A police matron who investi-
gated her case reported she had not a
bite OF food in her house, but had a
big market basket full OF tobacco
scraps on hand
Mrs. Mullens is somewhat OF mys-
terry to the police, who have been un-
able to ascertain If she has any rela.
tiyes or where her home was before
she came to Alton. She rented a
house in East End place, respectable
neighborhood, and lived there alone.
