He was a new little boy at the or

all the scrubbing and cleaning he saw
done there, more so because he had
come from a home in which disorder
and dirt had held sway. He could
not understand It; more than that,
it irritated him, and when he got the
job of scrubbing the dining-room. steps
he was almost ready to leave.
But just then came a new excite

coming to make its annual tour Of in

OBSERVING EARTA,s SHADOW
Possibly Not All Are Aware Of condk
tions Under Which II Is
Plainly Visible.

Everybody is familiar with the
shadow of the earth as 1t appears when
the moon is eclipsed, but not many
know that they can see the shadow at
less rare intervals much nearer home.
All that is necessary is a clear sky
at sunrise or sunset, for then the
shadow falls upon the dust of our at
mosphere in a most noticeable and
striking manner.
If you look eastward as the sun
sinks behind the western, horizon, a
broad band of red seems to appear op.
posite the sun. 1t merges into a yellow
glow above, and that in turn blends
into the blue of the zenith A. The red
band rises, the under side n 1t fades
into a dull slate gray, the umbra of
the shadow. The observation obtained
from a position that gives clear
sweep of the horizon disclOses the
form Of the shadow band as an arch,
the crest of which is directly opposite
the sun. The more depressed the sun
is beneath the horizon, the higher the
arch towers toward the zenith. As II
rises it becomes less perceptible, until
the red band that borders it on TOP
spreads overhead in a rather weak
glow.

hearty cooperative assistance in

California and the west coast is so

all my heart.
LET me add that many of our men
who came in to serve during the war,
are soon to be discharged, to re-
engage in their several pursuits and
occupations which they previously
followed, and we will expect you to
lend hand in our recruiting by en-
couraging others out here to join the
navy, than which there is no more

must be kept filed in order that our
ships remain in fighting trim and up
