Green Flash of Sunset.

One Of the most rarely witnessed Of
natural phenomena, but one that has
often been discussed at scientific meet
ings and that always awakens wonder
when seen, is the so called green
fash" occasionally visible at the mo-
ment Of the disappearance Of the sun
behind clear horizon. The observers
eye must be fixed upon the rim of the
sun as it disappears In order to catch
the phenomenon. One authority tells
US that he has seen the green flash.
although rarely, at the instant of the
setting of bright star. Among the
explanations offered is one based upon
the optical principle of Complementary
colors. If one looks at the sun and
then closes the eyes green disk will
be perceived. A sensitive eye might
be similarly affected by brilliant
star.

of the officials of the California Fruit
Growers Exchange, The California
Fruit Distributors, The Florida Citrus
Exchange, and The Mutual Orange Dis
tributors. For these and hundreds of
small shippers from California and
Florida now sell millions of dollars
worth of fruit at auction.
In twelve or thirteen cities where
the auctions are used as the exclusive
means of distribution, the only interest
that these shippers have in the auc-
ton houses is that they sell their fruit
through them.
Ask representatives of these organ
izations if they fear combinations
among the buyers. The answers are
that the keen competition among the
different races as well as among the
different dealers in the large cities
make effective combinations impos-
sible, and that if combinations should
form among the buyers they would
detect them in a minute and would
withdraw the fruit from the sale at
once. s.-E- D.

Thuda was a very pretty girl and
had many admirers. Indeed, not q girl
In the village was so sought after.
However, she only cared for Bertold,
and as Bertold was as fond of her as
she was of him they decided to marry.
As 1t happened, to their dismay, one
day the king of their country and the
king of another land decided to 60 to
war, and all the young men were taken
away to fight. whether they were will

"I'll never forget you, my Thuda."

"Come back, come back soon, my
dearest!' cried the unhappy Thuda.

will wait for me?" ....---
Eyes, yes" answered Thuda. ever

The soldiers marched away, and Thu
da began her weary waiting. Every
day she stood by the roadside patiently
waiting for the day to come when she
would see BertOld marching along the
path toward her. A month passed, q
year, and still Thuda stood patiently
by the roadside. Two years passed,
three, five, seven-yet she still waited.
Ten years passed, then more years
twenty years, thirty. Thuda was an
old woman. Her beauty was gone, but
still every day she stood by the road

Forty, fifty years passed away. Thu

People jostled her aside, wayfarers
pushed her out of the path, but still
she waited until finally she shrank into
such insignificance that instead Of a
girl or woman she became q low grow
ing plant which we call plantain or
waybread.
It still grows by the roadside, no
matter how it is trodden upon or JOS
tied aside. It is always there, and
whenever we see it patiently appearing

who never came back from the war. !
