DANGEROUS COLOR IS BLUE
Men Who Voyage Above tho Earth
Prefer Red for the Covering ct
Their Balloons.

= In case you ever feel tempted to buy
a balloon, don't buy q blue one. Red
ones are the best. There is a scientific
reason why. According to the re-
searches Of N. Reynaud, caoutchouc iR

full source Of such rays. This fact
has q practical bearing in connection
with balloon envelopes which are
treated with caoutchouc.
Aeronauts are familiar with the dis
covery that the envelopes suffer dur
Ing ascensions. and this is explained
by the greater effect of ultraviolet
rays at high attitudes. Experiment
had already led to using yellow color
Ing matter on the envelopes, and red
balloons are sometimes seen, but
never blue or violet. M. Reynaud con-
siders that red is the best color to
use, as 1t 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 bal
looms.

OLDEST METAL

A recent paper presented to the
Royal Institution at London, in
discussing the question Of the
metals used by the great nations of
antiquity pointed out that gold
was probably the first metal known
to man because it is generally
found native. The oldest metallic
obiectgso which we can assign a
probable date are thought to be
thos. found in royal tomb al
Na&edeiR.E t~sGpposed to have
been that Of King Menes. In one
of the chambers were some bits 81
gold and . bead. a button, and .
fihe wire ot;,tiearly. pure copper
II the tomb has been properly
identified, these objects are at least
$500 years old. Nearly all the
ancient gold that has beet examin.
ed contsins silver enough to give it
a light color. 1t was gathered by
the ancients in the bed of the
