E5 Observations Of the amount of heat
radiated from the earth's surface,
made at the same time by A. X. Ang-.

OF the account the presence Of dust
hindered the departure Of heat from
the earth's surface. But the effect OF
this hindrance was not SO great as
that offered to the reception OF the
solar heat-of which the wave length
is shorter.
The net result Of these opposite
tendencies seems to have been a de-

a wonderful tint, not crimson and not

goes, by a designer who fingered in

the colors Of the dollhouse flowers
changed in an extraordinary manner
as the shadows fell-deep yellow be-
came pink, purple was black. and the
hardy red geranium took on an as
tonishing purple glow that gave him
the inspiration for the new shades.

served. Poultrymen can neither afford
