The Color If water.

The waters of the seas, lakes, rivers and streams in general are very often colored. For instance, the water of the Mediterranean sea Is not cOlorless, but green-blue; also there Is brilliant red river in South America. The St. Lawrence, in Canada, is pale green and the Ottawa golden brown. Where these two rivcra meet quite frequently whole broad patches remain unmixed. Here Is a gold patch and there green one. Otherwise than this water re- fleets the cOlors of its surroundings, and a so called Emerald pOol' in the White mountains Is green because the birches on it's borders in early summer are brilliant green. The Blue grOttO, in Capri, Italy, shows a remarkably rich color, near to green-blue, because all the light received in that grotto comes through the water at its en- trance and, as has been said, the Med iterranean is green-blue. The water of the geysers in the Yellowstone park are also colored by natural mineral dyes. You can dye your own glass of water by piece of the bloOdroot plant. Try it. That will be vegetable dye St. Nicholas.
