Why Foam 10 White.

No one can have failed to notice that
the foam along the shore Of the sea or
Of a lake Is white. No matter how deep
the blue Of the water may be, there is
the same whiteness Of the froth at It's
edge. II the blackest ink In the world
is beaten into g foam. the foam will be
as white as the froth of milk.
The reason for this Is that we see all
objects by reflected light, II they re-
fleet all the rays, they appear white;
II they absorb all the rays, they seem
to be black. When beaten into a froth
the little bubbles reflect all the light
from their surfaces, for their extreme
thinness makes them practically moth
ing but surface and thus they are
white.
For the same reason any colored
stone shows white when 1t Is ground
to powder. Take the blackest mar
BILE an6 reduce It to small grains and
these will appear white, because their
surfaces now all reflect the same light.
II the polished surface Of the same
marble be only a little scratched. as
with a nail or drill-point, the effect
will be light -colored streak.
The same point Is illustrated In the
appearance of the tiny particles OF dew
on the spiders web as compared with
the larger drops suspended from the
tips of blades Of grass. All the more
striking is the difference when the cold
has converted dew and water into
frost and Ice. The frost sparkles from
the innumerable faces Of the crystals,
while the ice shows a uniformly shin
ing surface.
Frost and snow are white because OF
the smallness of their particles and
the great number of their rejecting
surfaces.

EVERY BABY HAS
ITS BOTTLE; WHY
A CHANGE? BEDE

Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. 31-A de-
Tense of President Taft against
charges made by political opponents
and an eulogistic review of the three
and half years he had been at the
head of the nation was delivered here
J. Adam Bede of Minnesota. The
speaker condemned the creation of the
national progressive party. The
sFeech follows:
First of all, ours is a government
by parties, and therefore in order that
q majority may always rule and be
held responsible, it should be a gov
eminent by two parties-one in power
ana one almost in, one running the
government and the other vigilantly
watching the program and perform
arce of its successful rival.
Parties are not made in a day, but
to be OF vest service to the public,
must ha, history and tradition,
great names and past achievement.
The republican and democratic parties
and they alone, enjoy such distinction
in the political annals Of the United
States. Through them has been &C
complished all our progress in gov
eminent, while sideline innovations
have from time to time appeared and
disappeared on the political horizon.
The bull moose third term movement
OF the present campaign is only an
other instance OF transient organiza-
ton based on ambition and revenge,
the only possible effects OF which can
be to throw the government into the
control of a minority OF the people
And for what good?
Every American who believes in
the republican policy Of protection and
the unparalleled prosperity of the
present time when there are more
jobs than men with the comforts OF
life universally distributed, should
vote for Taft He is not a politician
but he has made a great president

As a specimen of heavy grief we have seen nothing more heartrending than the following obituary notice, published in German paper:
 To-day red, tomorrow dead. So it was with my wife, who only seven days ago was springing over bench and table and was buried yesterday. During her life she was live woman, who did not easily mistake an x for 8 U. For that reason everybody can tell the extent of my sorrow; so young and so merry. and now buried. What is human life? have said to myself repeatedly within the past few days, and also yesterday in the church yard when paid the sexton, who will also keep the grave mound in order. So cheerful wife shall certainly never, never, find again, and therefore. my sor- row is righteous one. wish that heav- en preserve any man from a similar sad fate. and thank for the flowers, as well as the Herr Cantor, the music master of the choir, for the grave hymn. which went through and through me, but was very we'll sung Master-Locksmith."- From the Narrator.
