@HAD been living for many months
the only officer in charge of a de-
tachment of soldiers, stationed in a
small fort built on rocky height
- overlooking the, wide expanse OF
banks Of the Fish River, South Africa. A
1dreary and monotonous life truly it had been.
Always on the watch for Catfres, who never
came even within range of our telescopes,
with almost nothing TO do, and yet obliged
to keep constant and strict lookout.
My satisfaction, therefore, was great when
! received orders to take command of another
detachment at a fort still nearer the from
tier, where probably work of a more stir
ring nature might fall to my lot. I soon
made preparations for departure, sending off
my servant and baggage by the long and cir.
cuitous wagon road, while /, having secured
for myself the services of a mounted rifeman
as a companion and guide, took my departure
by a rather intricate bride path, which was
short cut to my new station.
My guide was worthy young fellow of
mingled Dutch and Hottentot origin, as ugly
as It is possible to imagine, fat-faced, and
a green jacket and leather pantaloons, look.

perched on the back Of his tall raw-boned
horse, watching my every movement much as

have DONE who had set herself to teach some
youngster how to use his legs for the first
time. When he had made up his mind that
he could stick on the back Of my horse with.
out his assistance. he left off following by the
tail of my steed, and putting spurs to his
horse he trotted on in advance, a very neces-
sary proceeding on his part, as l did not
know one step Of the road, with which he
was quite familiar.
Without any adventure worth speaking of,
we reached in due course the banks Of the
river which glided before us, filling almost
to the brim its canal-like bed, there having
been of late downfall of rain among the
mountains
The ford by which we had to cross was at
all times dangerous one, consisting as it did
of ridge of rock. shelving irregularly on the
lower side, and precipitous on The upper the
summit of the ridge (which ran obliquely
across the riyer) being our path. As it was
only when the water was low that the eye
of either the horse or his rider could see
where the foot of the former should be plac.
ed it will readily be seen that to cross
this ford when the water was in food requir-
ed great care as well as steady nerves on
the part CT the rider if he did not wish to
plunge over the pathway into the broken
water beneath. Besides this another diff.
Guilty lay before me, could not feel sure Of
my horse. He certainly had never crossed
this ford before, and how could / tell how
he might behave when he felt the water
pressing strong against his left side, while

it is reflected from the exterior surface, and
part enters the soap and is reflected from the
interior surface. This latter portion traverses
the water medium between the two surfaces
twice, and is therefore kept behind the first
reflected ray. The two sets of waves inter
fere with each other and produce a colored
light instead of white light.
Other waves, again. may destroy each 9th
er and extinguish the light. Some of the
colors comprising the white light-formed in
their passage through the flm-interfere so
as to destroy each other, while the others re-
main unaffected. AS the film diminishes in
thickness the colors must necessarily vary.
In this way do scientists account for the
marvellous variety of beautiful colors in the
soap bubble. the ifideseence of oil upon wa
pered, and the gsudiness of some insects
wings.

3 HY is it that all of the colors OF a
WI soap bubble change as the film grad
I"1 ualiy alters in thickness? This in
wolves case of interference of col
ors. If a stone be thrown into smooth
pond, circular wave is produced, gradually
widening towards the edge of the pond. Ii
a second stone be thrown into the pond, a
second wave will be produced which will in
fuence the first If stones be dropped in
simultaneously, at the same spot, the waves
will be Just doubled in height If second
stone be thrown in, exactly a wave behind
the first one, the same effect would be OBJ
served. If, however, the second stone be
thrown into the water exactly half wave
behind the first, the motion Of the water
win be destroyed.
1t is the same way with light: When light

A number of ancient writer's have
introduced the story of Damon and
Pytlhias into various of thdr works,
most notable among them which We're
Cicero in his Di Officlls, and Valerius
Maximus, a writer of historical
ancedotes In these classics there is
some deviation in the STORY. In one
of them it is stated that Damon went
to prison as sponsor for his friend
and in most of the ancient writings
the name is given as PhintiRs instead
that the name Pythias has come
about through careless translation.

Story of Damon and Pythias.

History is FUN of mobile friendships;
of sacrifices one man has made for
another; of the constancy between
great men and women. Probably
none of these famous friendships are
as familiar as THAT of the sl.ory Of
Damon and Pyth.as. lit has BEEN so
oft repeated and SO strongly empha-
sized upon the mind, THAT the two
names to-day stand as a synonym for
two FeHscns who are drawn CLOSELY
together either through business or
social relations.
Damon and Pythias We're promin-
emit residents of ancient SvTaeuse
The former being condemned to death
by Dlonystus, the Tyrant of Syracuse,
he begged for the privilege of visit
ing his wife and children before his
execution. This privilege was re-
fused until his friend and nlaighbor
Pythias, also a man of family,
volunteered to take Damon's place in
prison as a pledge for his return,
and on condition that ii he failed
Pythis should suffer in his stead.
Alt the appointed time, Damon fail
ed in appearing, and the tyrant had
the curiosity to visit Pythias in
prison What a fool you were."
said he, Ito rely ON Damon's promise,
How could you imagine that ne would
sacrifice his life for you or for any

firm voice and noble aspect, Il would

gods to preserve his life. Oppose

greater consequence than mine,

Dionysius were counfounded and
awed with the magnanimdty of these
sentiments He wished to speak; he
hesdtated; he looked down and re-
tired i'm silsnce. The fatal day arriv-
ed Pythias was brought forth, and
with an air OF satisfaction walked TO
the place OF execution. He ascended
the scaffold, and addressed the
people.
MY prayers are heard; the gods
are propaieous; the winds have bean
contrary. Damon could not conquer
impossibiiities; he win be here to-
morrow, and my blood shall ransom
