EXPLANATION OF MIRAGE.

In the Red river valley of Minnesota
may be seen some of the magical effects
of the mirage that forms 80 striking a
feature of an arid or semi-artd region.
Warren Upham describes it as follows:
1.-The mirage. typical of plains country
or the ocean, may be seen In the Red
river valley almost any sunshiny day IN
spring, summer, or autumn. This queer
phenomenon makes the high land ut the
sides Of the valley and the tops OF the
distant trees and houses appear to be
raised a little above the horizon, with 4
narrow strip of sky between. Tho more
complex and astonishing effect of mirage
may be seen from the highland on either
side of the lake-bed floor. There, In look
ing across the valley from one and one
half to two hours after sunrise on hot
morning following a cool night. the groves
and houses, villages, and grain elevators
loom up to two or three times their true
height and places ordinarily hidden by
| the curvature of the earth are brought
| into view. Oftentmes too, these objects
are seen double, being repeated in an in
verted image close above their real posi-
tons and separated from 1t by a foglikc
belt. In it's most perfect development the
mirage shows the upper and topsy-turvy
portion Of the view quite as distinctly as
the lower and true Iortion."
! These appearances are due to refraction
| and reflection from layers Of air OF differ
ent density, such as are often formed
above a wide expanse of level country In
warm weather.-Unted States Geological

DIR, JOHNsoN,s MICROBES.

Dr. Johnson, knowing nothing Of MI
crobes, thought he had crushed the story
of the cold that strangers bring to st.
Kilda by asking: How can there be
physical effect without a physical cause?"
Then he proceeded to make merry. The
arrival Of a ship full OF strangers, he
laughingly supposed, would kill the in
habitants of the island: FOR II one
stranger gives them one cold. two stran
gers must give them two colds and so in
proportion" In vain did believers in the
story argue that 1t was annually proved
that the arrival Of the owners steward
always resulted in cold for all the
islanders. THE steward" replied John
son, always comes to demand something
from them, and SO they fall n coughing"
The proper cure for a cold. which al
ways seems to have baflied the doctors. is
-cold--on the principle Of homeopathy.
The only sailors in the Crtmean days who
escaped sore threats were those who
could not get mufflers. The members of
the Scott expedition never got cold
until they had left the frozen Antartic
and reached civilization. We should es-
tablish the refrigerating chamber rs an
tiphon to tho Turkish bath for cure of
colds.-L.ondon Chronicle.

America had ever assembled In foreign
