Why Rain Cloud. Are Black.

The color OF a cloud depends on the
manner In which the sunlight falls
upon II and the position of the observ.
er. 1t will be noticed that high clouds
are always white or light In cclor. aud
this Is because the light ny which they
are seen Is reflected from the under
surface by the numberless drops Of
moisture which so to form the cloud.
Heavy rain clouds. on the other hand.
are found much nearer the earth, and
so the light falls on them more direct
iy from above, giving a silver lining to
the cloud. though the undcrsurface ap-
pears black owing to the complete re-
lection and absorption OF the light by
the upper layers. Seen from above by
an observer in a balloon. the blacklist

IMPORTANT ARREST MADE.
George Hooper Suspected of Being I'm
plicated In Robbery.

Rutland, Dec 6.-An arrest, which
may prove of state wide significance
was made last night, when Chief I. G
Elworth arrested George Hooper, mem,
Der of private detective agency 10.
Gated on Center street. The arrest was
made at the request of Chief p j. Rus.
sell of Burlington in which city Hooper
is wanted. The man is suspected of
being implicated in the theft of Charge
quantity OF butter from the cars in the
Burlington railroad yards. He is sup
posed to have been associated with
Francis NJ, Poirrier, and on the identi-
flying of Poirier, who is now on the
hands of New York state authorities,
hangs the case of the Burlington Of
ficials.
Some months ago the thief's name is
said to have been Poirrier. He es
capped arrest and shortly after the
Hooper agency was opened in this city,
consisting of Mr.. Hooper and "Mr.
Poirrrier", as principal. Since the Proc.
tor depot was broken into and hundreds
of dollars worth of mileages stolen,
the principal member of the agency has
not been about the city.
The New York statae authorities
captured the supposed Proctor thief,
finding some of the villages on his per-
son, while others were found at Buff
falo, N. Y, where he is said to have
of them This mans identity
is the crux. of the situation. The Fran
els Porirrer charged with the rob
berry in Burlington and the Francis
Poirrier', principal of the local detec
tive agency, are supposed to be one and
the same person. This is not GER
tain, however, because the man has not
yet been identified by those who knew
him.
Mr.. Poirrier is fighting extradition
from New York Mr.. Hooper is about
1886 years old and claims to have wife
and child living in Troy, N. Y.

Whether a man has acquired the

action is always the same No matter
how conscientiously he wishes to dis
charge his affairs, the drug at once be-
gins to loosen his sense of moral obi

absolute irresponsibility. Avoidance
and neglect of customary duties, eva.
sion of new ones, extraordinary re.
sourcefulness in the discovery of the
line of least resistance. and finally
amazing cunning and treachery-this
is the inevitable history.

LOAN BOOKS FREE.
All School Districts Can Secure Ii
braries at Cost of Trans
portation

School Districts of this vicinity may
secure the use of an excellent IL
brary of fifty we'll selected books by
paying the freight and carriage
charges from lansing and return.
Educators throughout the country
recognize that proper books of fiction,
history, science and government COM
pose the most essential equipment
for the school-room, and the state of
Michigan is willing to help the school
districts in this matter. Those in
charge of the state library have ar
ranged to make the splendid re-
sources of that institution available
for the people of the entire state in
stead of merely the residents of Lam
sing.
The travelling Libraries, as they are
called, will be sent to any school dis
trict or other organization in the state
upon the filing of an application with
the state librarian, Mrs. Mary c..
Spencer, Lansing, Michigan and the
fulillment of the library requirements,
which involves no expense, except
the payment of freight and carriage
charges. The libraries may be kept
from three to six months, then re-
turned and new assortment of books
secured.
The Libraries are made up to suit
the needs of the organization secur-
ing it. Those suitable for schools are
made UP of books particularly adapt
ed to young people and the fiction
is of the best literature. The lorna.
ton of the habit of reading the right
kind of literature is the most vital
part of a pupils education and so the
state makes it possible for every
school to give its pupils the oppor-
tunity or forming thar habit.
