Why Steam Casts a Shadow.

Why does water cast no shadow,
while steam, which is invisible, does
cast a shadow? Pure water in a state
of rest is of uniform density, and the
rays of light, although they may be re-
fracted, pass through 1t almost unim-
peded in parallel lines. Steam is COM
posed of vapor of different degrees Of
density, in~termingled usually with
some air, so that the rays of light en-
tering it are not uniformly refracted
and therefore interfere with and neu-
tralize each other to a considerable de-
gree, as counter or cross waves strike
each other down and tend to create a
smooth sea.-Chicago Herald.

Climate Variety In Chile.

Chile has a coast line Of 1000 miles
and the breadth of the country varies
from only 100 to $50 miles. The crest
of the Andes marks the eastern boun-
dairy and the Pacific ocean the western.
The coast chain and the principal cor
dillera of the Andes traVerSe the coun-
try longitudinally. Between them lies
the central valley, the great agricul-
tural section of the country. In the
north are the arid deserts which con
tain the nitrates. In the south is the
Chilos archipelago and the mainland
where the rains are frequent and con-
slant. Tie long stretch Of coast and
the variations due to the mountain
chains afford every variety of climate,
but the greater section of the country
may be said to have n temperate eli
mate. The mineral resources are the
natural wealth which furnish the ma
jor part Of the purchasing power.-New

of rheumatism whenever the weather
changes. For 80 cents w. ii. Sheldon or
any druggist will sell you a bottle of
Rheuma. Use as directed and your
pains will soon disappear.
Rheuma will put your kidneys and

the seat of all the trouble and removes
the cause by driving out the unnatural
poisOns. The use of one bottle will con-
vince you that further suffering from
rheumatism is needless. adv.
