How Clouds Are Colorsd.

The color of a cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls up
lon it and the position Of the observer.
lit will be noticed that high clouds are
always white. or light in color, and this
|6s because the light by which they are
Seen is reflected from the under sur
Dhce by the numberless drops Of mois-
lure 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 direct
liz from above, giving q silver lining to
the cloud. though the under surface ap-
bears black, owing to the complete re-
|iection and absorption Of the light BY
the upper layers. Seen from above BY
an observer in a balloon, the blackest
rain clouds appear Of the most dazzling
brilliant white.

AS TO PRAIsiNG OF MEN
One Man Who. Grown Older. Has
Changed His View On This
Somewhat.

Il used to think" said 4 man now
older than he was. that no man ought
ever to be praised. that it was up to
every man to do his duty and to work
to the best Of his ability without praise
or coddling. but think . little differ
emily about that now. I think now
that occasionally when 4 man has done
. good thing 1t does no harm to pat
him on the back . little.
You have to use determination
about this. will admit There are
men who II you praise them. get =
swslled head. throw out their chests
and straishtway begin to deteriorate
or to require praise all the time. but
there's An astonishing number Of men
Of quite another sort
II know lots Of men who work not
only faithfully but well. men devoted
to duty who take q pride In what they
do whatever 1t may be and who think
Of that only. never looking for praise; !;
but, like the rest OF US. they are still
human. And now suppose some day
such a man pulls OF a job that 10
really q little better than his daily
good work.?
why. what feel like doing and
what do now is to say to him. Billy.
1t was a good thing and 1 find 1t does
no harm, but on the contrary l used
to think that 1t was up to . man to
do his duty and that II he didn't he
was . poor sort. and a. far as that's
concerned l think that way now. but
now l think little praise now and
then does no harm. and 1t may be for
the man that gets 1t a source Of very
great comfort and pleasure"
