A Birds White Feathers.

The occurrence Of white feathers In
q birds plumage Is very common. II
Is, Of course, due to lack Of coloring

culiarity (mostly in the wing feathers.

feet nutrition and circulation as the
bird ages. l have also noticed it In
young birds In a number Of instances.
The phenomenon thus cannot be said
to occur simply as result of old age,
but is rather one of those slight
changes in the birds system the
causes Of which we do not know.
There is this much more to be said,
however-when a young bird starts
out with a few white feathers they
are usually retained throughout life,

she explained that she did it by roll

that she began by rolling over and

was reduced to what she considered

A Useful Reminder.

An N. P. who in his magistertal
capacity periodically visited private
lunatic asylum told the story Of q
man of some position in the legal
world who went to see patient who
had occasional lapses into sanity. The
patient made a great impression on
his visitor as a we'll informed. healthy
minded gentleman and was assured
that his case should be inquired into.
On leaving, the grateful patient
courteously conducted his morning
caller to the front door, affectionately
pressing his hand at parting.
"You won't forget what I've told
you," he pleaded. with tears in his
voice.
NO." responded the visitor, turning
round to descend the rather long flight
Of steps.
II don't think you WILL" said the pa
tent dreamily. "but lest you should

And. lifting up his foot, he gave the
unsuspecting, defenseless visitor

down the stairway and sprawling on
the gravel.-Pearson's Weekly.

beam Of light can have power to move
even a pith ball is conception not
easy to grasp. Yet there is no doubt
Of the fact, theoretically calculated
years ago by Clerk Maxwell from his
electromagnetic theory of light, for the
gaseous particles proceed to be repealed
by the sun at enormous speed, each
behaving exactly as it should by math-
ematical analysis If such were the &C.
sasioning cause. Evidently the light
waves have a propelling power in the
direction Of their own motion equal
to their own speed.
Why, then, is it that the planets be-
tray no such effect in spite Of their
size? The answer is, because Of that
very size. Gravity acts on the mass,
a matter Of three dimensions; the light
force on the surface Of the body, q
matter of two. As body diminishes
in size, therefore, its surface bears q
greater and greater ratio to its mass
until when small enough the second
force is the stronger of the two.
This relation is betrayed in the con-
duct Of the tail. The imprisoned
gases, heated to expulsion on the sun
ward side Of the comet, rise toward it
In series Of exquisite mantling en-
velopes, as IL the comets head were
yelling itself from the too ardent gaze
Of the sun. Then, after rising to
certain height, their initial impetus
overcome, they fall back. repealed by
the light waves, although still attract
ed by gravity. and are driven out to
form the tail Of the comet, fresh en-
velopes taking their place.
Sometimes only single tail Is FORM
ed, but at others two or even three are
shot out. end when this happens one
is nearly straight, one curved and one
greatly bent. Now, calculation shows
that the repelling force in the case Of
the first is fourteen times that Of grav-
ity, in the second two and two-tenths
times, or something less, and in the
third only about one-fifth Of gravity.
But these are the very ratios which
particles Of hydrogen gas, Of the by
drocarbons and of iron or sodium
would respectively show.
As the comet approaches the sun the
display becomes more violent and
more spectacular. Finer and wilder
grows the pageant, the ''hairy star"
loosening its tresses, which had stood
sedately coiled about its head amid
the depths Of space, to stream in
gorgeous CLEANS behind it as it pays
it's orbital obeisance to the ruler Of
its course. 1t seemingly backs away
in keeping with the etiquette to royal
ty, turning always its face sunward
rs i setfeats whence it came.

FORTUNE FOR A FRANS Halls
Description Of Painting For Whic
Otto Kahn Paid $500, 1000.

A magnificent Family Group" pain
ed by Frans Halls, the famous painter,
for which Otto H. Kahn, the New
York banker, recently paid 100000,
outbidding J. p. Morgan, and which
has been lent to the Metropolitan mu-
scum, came from the collection Of Colo
mel Warde of Westerham. 1t was
bought by John Warde at the William
Bristow sale held in Dover street, Lon
don, in 1850 and remained in the
Warde family, unknown to the public,
until 1906, when it was shown In the
winter exhibition Of old masters held
at the Royal academy IN 1906 and
aroused the establishment Of the art
critics that lin these days of connois-
seurship and curiosity" as the London
Times put it, "such a chef d'oeuvre Of
one of the greatest Of portrait painters
should have hung for all these years
entirely unknown in an English coun-
try house."
The composition consists of five fig
ures and dog. Halls himself and his
wife are in the center, with a quaint
expression of amusement on both
faces. On the left is boy, stick in
his right hand, his left thrust into his
pocket. On the right stands u girl
dressed in the stiff repetition Of her
mothers costume, suitable to the
daughters of Dutch families in that
period. Between the mother and daugh"

more positive note Of color than the

THE TAIL OF A COMET
It Pays Dearly For Its Brilliant
Gaseous Display.
FORMED BY LIGHT AND HEAT.

Far Away tho Comet 10 q Globular
Mass, and as It Nears tho Sun the
Action Of That Body Untwines the
Tail, Which Is Never Recovered.
Travelling as comets do in very elon-
gated ellipses. with the sun in one of
the foci, as the attracting point is
called, most Of their journey is spent
in slow uneventfulness far away from
the hearth Of the system-hearth is
just what the word focus means. They
are then small globular aggregations,
sluggish and dina little roundish
nebula in look. Such they appear
when first deserted in the telescope
coming in from space, for they are
rarely seen at all until they have en-
tered within the orbit Of Mars. Dis
lance in part, but still more their own
behavior till then, keeps them hid.
Within this nebulosity, known as the
head, appears as it nears us bright
spot, the nucleus. Suddenly there &C.
ours complete change in the deport-
ment of the body, one which renders
it the observed Of all observers, and in
less civilized times occasionally its be-
ing held the harbinger Of distress, dis
ease and death.
As soon as the comet gets near
enough the heat of the sun sets up
commotion within it. BY Very's deter
mination Of the temperature Of the
unblanketed sunward side of the moon
we are enabled to infer that this heat
is great at the earth's distance from
the sun in spite Of the cold of space.
This temperature is 1853 degrees f.
And as the comet approaches the
sun this heat must increase inversely
as the square Of the distance. At half
the radius of the earth orbit it is al
ready four times as great above abso-
lutte zero, at a quarter sixteen times,
and SO on increasingly, the tempera'
ture rising into thousands Of degrees.
No wonder the comet acts as it does.
It at once becomes uneasy, wakes in
light and, as the spectroscope reveals,
disruptive electric discharges start in
it which let out the imprisoned gases.
Then begins that spectacular career Of
perihelion passage which makes the
comet so superb an. object and for
which It pays so dear. The gases
which are thus thrust out from the
interior of the separate meteorites, to-
gether with such particles of the iron
as are made gaseous by the heat, fall
prey to another force besides gravita-
ton. This force is the impact Of light
itself, the light emitted by the sun.
That 80 1mmaterial q thing as a
