THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaelis

~ OMETIMES when I go fish
ing think Of heaps Of
~ things besides the brook
that's swishing, the saucy Jay that
sings. When sitting there and
dreaming where shade and shadow
play, I quit my busy scheming and
cares Just drift away. When rip
pies fleck the river, where daisies
greet the breeze. where grasses
bend and culver beneath the whis-
pering trees, / give myself to fancy.
the pictures that 1t shows, Its
pleasing necromancy out where the
streamlet flows. The sunset Oft
has caught me still loafing by the
stream; but lessons nature taught
me were not a useless dream. I've
learned that in the masses l pass
upon the street there are but two
great classes Of all the folks
meet. There Is the dismal thinker.
who likes to fret and whine; he's
built Just like the sinker / hasten
on my line. The slightest cares
distress him, at thirty he grows
gray: from dawn all things de-
press him until he hits the hay.
I'm not a heavy drinker, but how
I'd love to be when living with q
singer who banishes all gleel And
then there is another: the happy.
jovial man; I love him like a
brother and all his CHEEKY clan.
Whatever are his troubles he greets
them with q song, AZ though they
were but bubbles, he gaily hobs
along. He's like the cork that
rises forever to the top, through
dread and dire surprises his glad
ness does not stop. So sometimes
when I'm fishing where sun and
shadow lie / spend my time in
wishing to be like men who rise;
the sinker-chap lives lonely and
wears a dismal frown, the cork
man goes serenely, and nothing
nuts his down!

he looked about for a chair, sank
into 1T unbidden, and placed his
wet hat on the floor beside him.
Storrow remained silent. 1t had
been a foolish fight, he remem-
bered, a tragically foolish fight. He
noticed Mullaly's wandering eye
come to a stop at the decanter on
the buhl table. That decanter, dur
ing the ensuing silence, seemed to
loom larger and larger In his visi-
tors consciousness. until 1t alone
remained, mountainously remind
full, with the light striking amber
and gold and provocatively mellow
through its core.
So Storrow, still without speak
ing, carried the rye and a glass and
a plate of biscuits to the side of the
wet and bedraggled Hercules. And
Mullaly, no longer blinking, filed
the glass and took 1t neat" The
blue lips smacked appreciatively.

0NE of my correspondents II
greatly puzzled by the differ
ence in the appearance Of the
sky at night from it's appearance
by day, for, he says the suns rays
are all around US in space. except
in the shadow straight behind the
little earth, and when we see the
moon at night, 100000 miles off
to one side of the earth, why
should IT appear surrounded by
dark sky when not only 1t. but
the space around 1T is bathed in
full sunshine? This is a question
1 have heard before, and not a
few seem to find it perplexing.
The explanation. in a sentence.
is that there is no general illumi-
nation Of the sky outside the
earth's atmosphere, because there
is nothing outside the atmosphere
to reflect and diffuse the suns rays
and SO send them to our eyes. A
ray viewed sideways, so to speak,
makes no impression Of hight. for
to produce such impression the ray
must enter the eye in the, direc-
ton of its propagation. Accord
ingly, the suns rays which pass
the earth on all sides and perme-
ate all surrounding space, except
just behind the earth, make no
impression upon our sense of sight
except when they fall upon an
Opaque body, like the moon, and
are reflected from it's surface
straight to our eyes on the earth.
The atmosphere itself. with the
particles of dust, moisture, etc.
that cloud it, reflects the rays and
thus produces the appearance Of a
light blue luminous sky by day, but
on the night side of the earth.

which is turned away from the
sun, the atmosphere is not trav-
ersed by the suns rays, and ac-
cordingly the sky appears dark. If
the atmosphere extended several
thousand miles above the earth on
all sides the night sky would be
Illuminated and the long conical
shadow Of the earth, projecting
away from the direction OF the sun.
would probably be visible at mid.
night as a circular patch Of dark
ness in the sky, the diameter of
which would depend upon the dis
lance to which the atmosphere
extended.
But, in fact, the atmosphere has
an effective height of only forty or
fifty miles, beyond which IL is too
rare to reflect or diffuse the rays
This height is so slight compared
with the diameter of the earth that
only for a short time after sunset
is any light sent down to us from
illuminated air. What we do thus
get causes twilight.
The blueness of the day sky is
an effect of the scattering Of the
waves Of radiation by the atmos-
pheric particles, and the color
depends upon the fineness of the
particles. In ordinary reflection
the rejecting surfaces are large
compared with the dimensions Of
the waves and no selective action
occurs, all kinds of waves being
reflected and scattered, together.
But when the reflecting surfaces
are so small as to be comparable
in size with the waves, the short
blue waves are ordinarily the ones
that are scattered, and this il evil

parts of the country this year,
that the stock of cherry. plum,

Citrus fruits, however are avail

AMBER MARMALADE.
/ orange, weighing about ounces.
/ grapefruit, weighing about 1
pound 3 ounces.
lemon, weighing about ounces.
Select especially tender, clean.
yellow, smooth-skinned fruit, free
from blemishes. The thick-skinned
varieties are, better for this purpose
than those having thin, tough
peel, since this thin peel Is likely to
become still tougher after cooking
with sugar and acid.
Wash the fruit well. Remove the
skins and slice them very thin. Cook
this peel in a quart of cold water
three times for five minutes each,
discarding the water after each boil
ing.
Cut the fruit pulp into thin slices,
removing the seeds and rag" and
combine this sliced pulp with the
parboiled skins. To each weight or
measure of fruit andd three times It's
own weight or measure OF water and
boil for twenty-five minutes. Then
add equal weight or measure of
sugar and boil rapidly, for twenty
five minutes longer, or until the
jelly stage is reached. Put at once
into scalded jelly glasses, and when
cold cover with paraffin.
The marmalade should have a
clear amber color, not at all of a
brownish cast; II should be jellied
throughout, and the strips of peel
which 1t contains should be trans
parent and tender. .s
The amounts of fruit mentioned
above make about five pints of mar
malade or twelve to fourteen
glasses, When larger quantities of
fruit are used, longer periods OF
cooking will be necessary before the
jelly stage is reached. because of the
larger. amount of water which has
to be evaporated by boiling..
