How Clouds Are colored.

The color of cloud depends on. the
manner in which the sunlight falls
upon II and the position Of the OBJ
server. It will be noticed that high
clouds are always white or light In
color. and this is because the light by
which they are seen il reflected from
the under surface by the numberIess
drops Of moisture which go to form
the cloud. Heavy rain clouds. on the
other hand. are found much nearer the
earth. and SO the light falls on them
more directly from above. giving sil-
yer lining to the cloud, though the un-
der surface appears black. owing to
the complete reflection and absorption
Of the light by the upper layers. Seen
from above by an observer in bal
loon the blacklist rain clouds appear OF
the most dazzling brilliant white.

The Roman Forum.

The Forum was originally market
place and only by degrees became the
center OF Roman civic and political life.
About B. c.. 40 1t became the place Of
assembly Of the people in their tribes
and was gradually adorned with tenn
Piles and other great public buildings.
The Roman forum-thc Acropolis at
Athens alone excepted-is perhaps the
most thrillingly interesting spot on
earth to such as know and appreciate
the teachings of history. From the
forum came the august laws which
governed the then known world for
more than thousand years.

JAPANESE PATIENCE.
A Strong Mans Challenge to an Artist
and the Result.

A Strong Mans Challenge to an Artist
and the Result.
Maruyama Okyo was the founder Of
the naturalistic school of Japanese
painting. He was born In 1875 and
died Ia 1895. In the International
Studio Mr.. Harad Jiro tells this story
about Okyo:
Tanikaze Kajimosuke was cham
pion wrestler. One day he called on
Alaruyama Okyo and proposed trial
Of strength. each according to his own
line of pursuit. He would show the
greatest feat be was capable Of by his
physical strength, and Okyo would
show his by his ability to paint. Okyo
agreed. The next morning he was
awakened by the sound Of something
falling outside the door OF his house.
He opened the door and found Tani-
kaze standing by rock large enough
to tax the strength OF a dozen ordi-
nary men. He had brought it, without
resting, alI the way from Mount Ku-
rama, many miles distant.
Now. 1t was Okyo's turn. He gave
lessons to his pupils as usual, but
spent every available minute in his
private atelier, working very far into
the night. Tanikaze called four or
five times, but was told that the paint
ing was not yet ready.
At last, after four months had pass

rock back to the mountain"

ed Okyo. with smile. And he pre-
sented to Tanikaze roll Of silk. Tani-
kaze slowly unrolled tit was seven
feet long-and looked at it in amaze
ment. HAS this taken yon four
months to paint?" he asked. Does
this represent your greatest skill:"
His surprise was not altogether nn-
justified, for the artist had painted
nothing except stringed bow in its
actual size. Then Okyo calmly ex-
planned the matter as follows:
This Is picture Of the bow you re-
ceived from the emperor when you
had the honor Of wrestling In the pal.
ace grounds. The greatest achieve
ment In It IS the drawing Of this cord.
I To drnw straight line over six feet
