Concerning Color.

Blue is the coolest of the colOrs and
green the next coolest, according to
Good Housekeeping. Green Is pro-
duced by mixing yellow-a warm color
with blue, hence it Is less cold than
pure blue. SO long as it contains
blue than yellow, 1t is a cool color,
but the moment the yellow overbal-
ances the blue, a warm" green be-
gins to develop. Blue and b~lue-green
are termed Preceding" cOlors because
a surface colored blue or green, par
ticularly in light values, appears more
distant than it actually is. These
attributes of GOODNESS and receding-
ness are true in different degrees OF
every color tinged with green or blue,
including ~blue-lavender. b~lue-purple
and blush and greenish gray. Pure
gray is the only perfect neutral ex
cept black and white. 1t Is normally
a receding color. somewhat cool In eff
feet. 1t becomes cooler as 1t is tingec
with blue or green and warmer as II
is tinged with pink or yellow. Gray
and the notifications of blue and greer
make small rooms appear larger ano
help to counterfeit the effect OF toe
sunny an exposure.

Not Exactly.

Aunt Jane, who a a spinster,
came to visit her sister and family of
four children. And from the very first
auntie was very much given to offer
ing advice to her sister on the way to
feed, dress and treat her children gem
orally. The sister listened In perfect
good humor, but not so Sally. her eff
cient helper. And frankly, Sally said
so. Look here, Miss Jane she be-
gan, what do old maids like you and
me know about raisin' children? We
hain't never had none and a person
has to have children to know how to
raise them"
Aunt Jane smiled a tolerant smile.
''Oh, not always. Sally" she returned.
Now, take those little chickens out
there. Don't you think you know
more than their mother? You feed"
But Sally Interrupted her. "Yas,
ma'am, l feed them, If that's what you
mean. But I hain't never yit taught
any Of them to scratch-have J?"-In-

Arabic Literature Recovering.

n Of the most interesting is "Nawa-
dir al-Harb," containing rare and In

in the sense that every fact is narrated
from the standpoint Of the Oriental
philosopher. The little volume closes
with appropriate comments on the pow

culled from the works of the classical
Arabic poets. Perhaps the most anus

for Montenegro: II have sold my

Mikes t.:z:.:' BED
River Indus Changes Its Course
With Regularity.
petual Peril, as Water Constantly
Moves in a New Direction.

The frequently heard news that an
eastern river has changed its course
with danger to property and life
seems incredible until one has actually
seen an active river getting busy" on
a new course, writes a correspondent
from Waziristan, India.
Thus the Indus is u perpetual prob
lem, and for this reason: All prOvi-
sions must cross its broad waters, as
Waziristan is on the west bank and in
desert country.
Every October the river ~hibernates,
and a bridge Of boats temporarily
solves the problem.
But each May it wakes up, shakes
itself out of its sleep and probably
out of it's original course.
The bridge is hurriedly dismantled,
and there ensues anxious speculation
among the engineers.
Which way is the water coming?
After observations and %soundings the
new position Of the port, quantity
called steamer Point" Is fixed. There
follows a procession of railway men,
provision experts, coolies (laborers)
and camels. Lines are laid, dumps"
arise and within a week the erstwhile
lonely river bank Is populated and be-
comes a 'going concern"
Even then a wary eye has to be kept
on the %encroaching waters. Both the
railway and the supply dumps" have
to be moved farther and farther back.
Sometimes even In a single night the
river will flow away into a new and
unexpected channel or, maybe, It will
forsake a portion of its bed, leaving a
yellow sandbank in its place.
The bank itself becomes jagged like
a piece of bread into which a child has
made large bites.
The water swirls aver inward and
cracks appear ten feet within the bank ;
the cracks deepen, and without war;
ing another large lump Of shore
crumbles away. A motor car that
stopped on such a piece disappeared
into the river and has not been e
since.
And some of these effects are curl
Gus.
A cluster Of three palm trees, which
were well away from the water last
week. we're little islands yesterday.
This morning they had disappeared !!
Probably they are miles down the
stream for the current is swift and
gives no quarter.
You may imagine these quiet trees,
torn from their native soil, turning
feverishly round and round at the
mercy Of the sweeping current.
The flotsam and jetsam Of life and
death go eddying past on the bosom Of
the stream. Here a dead camel. there
a bevy of jam tins catches the eye and
fades away downstream.
Yet with all the turmoil and trouble
the Indus has a charm Of its own, and
it Is most fascinating to watch the
work Of elemental nature.
This evening, as l saw the bank col
lapsing bit by bit, I could not help
thinking Of the story Of the engineer
who built his bungalow a comfortable
mile from the river. The next year the
water was tapping at his garden gate.
And l wondered If in a year or two
the river would threaten our W little
homesteads away back in the distance.

CHARM IN OLD GRAvEYARDS
Mediate on the Fleeing Pro-
cession Of Life.

There Is a charm about old grave
yards. They are to us, says the Spring
field Republican, what mellow autumn
afternoons cannot express. They are
deserted old houses, haunted by former
oWners. In them is the reminder Of
other days that makes up the atmOs-
phere Of old theaters where many IA
nous Hamlets and Lady Teazles have
trOd the boards. There one can follow
1.-THE hoary chronicle Of the ages" back
to the beginning Of time.
There are little %graveyards by the
sea with waving grasses and wild Gin
m pinks where sea captains are
laid to rest. There are others shut off
from the business section of large
cities by gates that close at shutdown,
where the founders of the city find
peace after their labors. Into these
secluded spots pert Twentieth-century
st%enographers go to eat their monday
lunch and discuss their new hats and
new beaux, with only an occasional
n more imaginative than her friends
to give a thought to the long dead and
ponder on the 1eeting procession Of
life. There are still other graveyards
with clipped hedges and formal garden
plots, reminiscent Of the clipped and
patterned lives that have been care
fully laid away there to rest Hedged
in by convention all their lives and
Swallowed by cypress-hedges and cy-
press are their lot after death.
However graveyards differ, they are
all a friendly resting place for the idle
wanderer or the vagabond poet. A
pleasant picture that Of young Walter
Pater going to the graveyard and sing
ing Greek songs to the birds there.
Pleasant, too. the picture of Thomas
Gray writing his elegy In a country
churchyard.
Beware, however. the modern grave
yard. Where granite stands up glisten-
ing In the sun, where flowers are fresh
on new-made graves, and funeral pro-
cessions may be met, is not the place
to wander In. There grief Is too near
and too new. Choose a Gods acre
where the grass is %overgrown, where
weeping willows and grimacing cher
ubs decorate the stones. and where the
last line Of the epitaph Is sunk into
the ground. Every graveyard has at
least 1t old part, mellowed by the
passing of time.

Sir Maurice himself knew of places
20 which treasure traditions cling. One
fastness in the Goona district was that
in which, during the Mahratta warfare
lays, the entire population of three
villages, hiding with their possessions
in a hill cave, We're betrayed to enc
mics by the barking of dogs.
Refusing to surrender, the refugees
we're smoked to death by fires lighted
ut the entrance to their retreat. No
native dare enter now for fear of the
demons which are believed to haunt
the place.
Several English dogs were once sent
in TO hunt through the enchanted cave.
All disappeared. Several days later
the smallest of the lot, a terrier, came
out starving. The others had per-
ished, but 1t Is supposed that this one,
Ealing down a ~fissure. had found its
lay to a jackal's home and scratched
its way out to liberty.

Latest Form Of Brlquettee.

Briquettes, in the form Of cones
weighing about en- pounds, are made
by a new Danish machine from the
chips from turning, boring and filing
in ordinary machine shop work. The
material Is forced into molds by com
pressed air power. The b%riquettes can
be employed In the proportion Of ID
per cent and upward for ordinary iron
castings or for special castings such
as engine cylinders and are claimed
not only to produce tough and com
pact castings Of greater strength than
when pig and scrap iron are used
alone, but also to provide a convenient
means Of adding silicon and manganese
to the metals.
