COLoRS OF THE EARTH.
Elements of Difference In Winter
. and Summer Landscapes.

The two great elements of differ
ence in the same landscape in winter
and summer are, of course, the pres
ence of snow in winter and of leaves
and grass in summer. II we could
look at our globe from the moon the
variation in it's aspect due to sea
sonal changes would perhaps be even
more striking than it appears TO
those on the surface.
In fact, we sometimes lose sight of
the very important part which vege-
tation plays in giving color to what
might be termed the countenance of
the planet.
1t is not the higher forms of plants
that always produce the greatest eff
feet in this way. Some of the most
striking scenes upon the earth owe
their characteristic features to MOSES
and lichens. The famous crimson
cliffs" of Greenland, which extend for
miles northwardsf Cape York, de-
rive their splendid color from growth
of red lichen that covers their faces.
The cliffs rise between 1900 and
1000 feet straight from the waters
edge, and being composed of gray
granite their aspect would be entire
~ different from what it is but for the
presence of the lichen.
The rocky pass called the Golden
Gate in the Yellowstone National
Park owes it's rich color and it's name
to the yellow ,lichen covering its lofty
walls; and the indescribable hues of
the great hot-spring terraces arise
mainly from the presence of minute
plants f1ourishing in the water that
overflows them. Considered as
whole, the vegetation of planet may
give it a characteristic aspect as
viewed from space. That its broad
expanse of forest and prairie land
causes the earth to reflect a consider
able quantity of green light to its
neighbors is indicated by the fact that
at the time of the new moon a green
ish tint has been detected overspread-
ing that part of the lunar surface
which is then illuminated only by
light from the earth.-Pittsburg Dis
patch.

these perhaps none is more interesting
than that of Taylor county. While it
is essentially dairy county, and there
fore shows many kinds Of grasses and
cattle food, the variety OF other pro
ducts is large. There are the delicious
little yellow ground cherries shown no.
where else. There are fascinating
punches of blue poppy seeds that bring
visions of German cakes; there are
hops, fax, butternuts, profusion of
grains, twenty different kinds of grasses
and clovers for feeding cattle. dozens
of different vegetables, including one
beautiful cluster of eight rosy tomatoes

What We Owe To Waterwheel

Our debt to the genius who first in
vented the waterwheel is a mighty one
In this country alone the total deve
Hoped waterpower is equal to six million
horses and this is but small part OF
the horse power which might be
utilized from falling water Conserva.
tive engineers estimate that ultimately
we will be using some 200 .000, 900
horse power devepoped ftom falling
water OF course this enormous a.
mount of energy will not come into
daily use until our coal supply
diminishes perceptibly. making il
cheaper to construct huge dams and
power houses than 1t is to mine and
handle coal.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

The public library is open daily from
8 to 6 and from to p. m. On Satur-

patronized during the past year and 1t

added during the coming months.
The children's shelves contains many
interesting and useful books and the
children heartily appreciate them. Visi
tors have many times observed the quiet
and orderly behavior of the boys and
girls who frequent the library.
