The Green Flash Of Sunset.

One Of the most rarely witnessed OF
natural phenomena. but one that has
often been discussed at scientific meet
ings and that always awakens wonder
when seen, is the so called green
fash" occasionally visible at the mo-
ment Of the disappearance Of the sun
behind clear horizon. The observer
eye must be fixed upon the rim of the
sun as it disappears in order to catch
the phenomenon. One authority tells
US that he has seen the green fash
although rarely, at the instant Of the
setting of a bright star. Among the
explanations offered is one based upon
the optical principle OF complementary
colors. If one looks at the sun and
then closes the eyes green disk will
be perceived A sensitive eye might
be similarly affected by brilliant star

tale would be long.
Death is the liberator Of him whom
freedom cannot release. The physi-
clan of him whom medicine cannot
cure and the comforter of him whom
time cannot console.
Death is a gain in the measure that
it is not death, but life unfolded or
carried into higher being. This high
er state beyond death is free from the
toll and WEAKNESS, the weakness and
the pain of the present. Death is a
gain in that it opens up to the soul
it's larger life, its real life.

Thy remains we consign to mother

spirit to the Father God who gave it.

EULoGY OF DR.. SMITH
FOR CHAS. JOHNSON
Address Delivered at the Grave Of
Charley johnson by Or. F. c.
Smit of keokuk.

The following eulogy was pronounc-
ed at the grave of Charles Johnson,
by DR.. Smith, who spoke for the Elks,
deceased having been member of
the Keokuk lodge:
1t is we'll for us all, even in enter
ing upon life to remember It's termi-
nation, and how swiftly and sudden
ly the end may come Here we have
no continuing city"-We are "strang-
ers and pilgrims"-as all our fathers
were and the road of life at its very
opening way pass from under us,
and ere we have we'll entered upon
the enjoymonts and work of the pres.
ent we may be launched into the in
visible and future world that awaits
u.s. At the best, life is but a brief
space. 1t appeareth a little moment
and then vanisheth away. 1t is but
flash out of darkness soon again to
return into darkness. We stand as it
were on a narrow strip of shore wait
ing till the tide which has washed
away hundreds of millions of our fell
lows, shall wash us away also into a
country of which there are no charts
and from which there is no return.
The strange and singular uncertainty
of life is stalk theme OF pathos
but no descriptive sensibility can real
ly touch all the mournful tenderness
which it excites There is no trait of
human nature which is more precious
and valuable than a quick and ready
sympathy with the joys and woes of
others Sympathy always marks the
true man and the noble nature And
why should we not be sympathetic
The world is unit in interests and
we all stand or fall together mo
