Long Vacations la Good Times.
For many years real estate and
storage men have noticed that whom
times are good people pack up and
go away In summer; that when times
are bad, they stay az home.

ness started two weeks ago when the

teen lots Of household goods Satur-
day, and was busy all day refusing
other orders that had TO be exc
cuted that day.
Many Reasons for MOVING.
Several reasons contribute to make
September the biggest moving month
OF the year. Families that store
their goods in summer to save rent
while the wife goes back home to
make mother long visit usually
find their old apartments leased on
their return.
Then, those who found that their
apartments were cold last winter want
TO move and got settled in warmer
quarters before cold weather comes
again. II has become, moreover, the
general custom of those who have
charge Of the renting of apartments,
to make leases start from October l
whenever possible
The institution of moving Is de-
veloping, transfer men say. with the
coming Of the motor van which can

Eiua Balloons.

In case you ever feel tempted to buy
q balloon don't buy y blue one. Red
ones are the best. There is scientific
reason WHY. According 70 the re-
searches Of N. ReTnaud, caoutchouc IS
strongly attracted by the ultra violet
rays from The mercury vapor lamp

full source OF such rays This fact las
q practical bearing in connection with
balloon envelopes. which are treated
with caoutchouc. Aeronauts are Ia
uiiiar with the discovery that the en-
Ye!opes suffer during ascensions, ana
this is explained by the greater effect
Of ultra violet rays ct high attitudes.
Experiment had already led to using
yellow coloring matter on the envel-
oDes, ard red balloons are sometimes
seen, but never blue or violet. NJ.
Reynaud considers that red is the best
color to use, as it not only absorbs the
ultra violet rays, but also the blue
rays. and these, last are likely to share
in the bad action of the suns rays upon

May. 1862. Salt was very scarce at

end in view he commenced to deepen
his wells. One negro workman. after
going down sixteen feet. came to Mr..
Avery with the news that he hao
struck q sUnAen log. and could pro-
coed no further. Mr.. Avery investigat-
ed and found, not log. but the great

The discovery did not come altogether
as a surprise. as Thomassy had pre-
dicted that a great rock salt deposit
would one day be discovered in each OF
the FIVE Gulf islands, and perhaps IN
other portions Of the state. Since the
close Of the war, rock salt Las been

Tanned Skin. }

In the majority Of cases tanned skin
is an indication Of health. It is con-
dition resulting from the action OF
chemical rays OF Of the ultra violet
rays Of the sun on the pigment Of the
skin. Tan may be produced also by
exposure to the rays Of mercury
lamp or it may be caused electrically.
But In these cases it IS no indication
Of tie state Of health. It does not
mean that there has been multipli-
cation Of red corpuscles in the blood,
such as follows healthful exercise in
the open air. The tan acquired by
the skin at sea or ashore as a result
OF life and exercise in the open air IS
always a sign Of health, for the rea-
