Why n. slsx Ia alu..

The cause of the blue tint Of the sky
has recently been the subject Of re-
newed discussion. According to one
view, the blue color Is the efect Of
chemical matter in the air acting By
absorption. but most physicists deny
this on the ground that these chemical
substances present In the air would
cause the setting sun to be blue In
stead Of red. 1t seems probable that
the blue of the sky is. In any case. not
due to particles Of dust or of water. a.
has long been supposed. but in reality
to the dispersal Of light by the actual
molecules Of the air itself.

Of town and Its approaches.
What parks are meant for and their
value to mankind Ii concisely de-
scribed by a writer In the Los Angeles
Times who says:
PARKS are. or at least should be.
built for use. not merely to look at.
A park IL a piece Of the country with
in the town. or a piece Of land within
the town where the people have all
the freedom and influences Of rural
parts. For this reason AZ little re-
striction as possible should be placed
upon the use Of parks and every rea-
sonable provision made for the accom-
mediation and convenience Of the pub
lie. No Keep or the Grass signs
should deter any one from taking a roll
Tor nap II he feels like 1t, upon the
lawns, and plenty of seats should be
provided for all who care to use
them.
There have been park boards who
seemed to think that the parks were
given them to Juggle with and the
public had no rights which they were
bound to respect. but the shoe Is on
the other foot: park commissioners
have no greater legal rights than the
public In general. A piece Of land
within town il not park. nor will
1t ever be until used. One Of the lead
ing park men Of the United States has
made the point that great collection
Of buildings does NOT make city or
town. but a great collection Of people
does, and they nnd the buildings con
venient. almost necessary. The people
who use the land constitute the park.
