Italy's Deep Blue Skies.

The sky OF Italy Ia noted for its
clearness The blue is deeper not be.
cause the dust there is finer than In
the northern countries, but because
in the countries of the north, due to
the greater GOODNESS of the air, the
vapor more readily condenses upon
the dust particles. The dust particles
thus become larger and consequently
not so effective In turning back the
blue rays alone. but others are also
reflected, and grayish effect is pro
duced. In single location the blue
of the sky may appear bluer at one
time than another. The sky Is often.
times said to be very blue when some
white cumulus clouds are outlined
against It. The sky is then a deep
blue by contrast with the brilliant
white. After shower. when the
lower stratum of air Is washed OF its
coarse dust particles, a deeper and
purer blue is the result.

How Absinth 10 Made.

An old Moor to whom a trader tried
to explain the tyrannous nature of the
order forbidding the sale Of absinth In
Morocco took wholly unexpected at
titude.
"Absinth." he said, lis an invention
of the evil one. On its roots he pOurs
the blood of peacock; then when the
leaves begin to grow he sprinkles them
with the blood OF monkey; then he
dips the stalks In the blood of bear;
lastly he mingles with the juice of the
plant the blood of pig.
$50 that when the faithful drinks
absinth at the first glass his appetite
awakes, and he arises proud as a pea
cock; at the second glass he becomes
excited and gesticuates like a monkey;
at the third he becomes quarrelsome
and spiteful, like bear; at the fourth
be becomes besotted and falls to the
earth and rolls like hog In the mire.
May Allah protect us, the order Is
right"-New York Times
