ray. Plainly the glass separates
and renders visible these colors
which are invisible when united;
but it took genius to discover
the reason behind the apparent
miracle.
Every one of those different
colors IL produced by etheric
waves OF q particular length. In
the open ether all travel together
with the same velocity, viz, the
velocity Of light" 5000 miles
per second. When they enter

mosphere there is slight de-
crease OF velocity; when they en-

CT velocity becomes very notice.
able. 1t IS about one-third less in
glass than In air.
Now, it has been found that
the velocity in glass is smaller in
proportion as the waves are Ghort-
err. Consequently the red waves,
which are the longest. are the
least retarded when passing
through glass. while the blue and
violet waves, which are relatively
short. are the most retarded.
The result Is that. when the glass
has the form of a prism, the diff
ferent waves of ray of light that
has passed through it are. on
emerging. deviated more for the
short ones than for the long,
ones, and when they all fall upon
screen the corresponding colors
are seer spread out into the many

They smothered each others

So they did everything together.
They went everywhere together.
They had the normal differences

they refused to recognize those
differences.
Ellyn expected Dan to like every.

Dan expected the same of Ellyn.
They never took vacations

They never kept any fact from

We must stand apart as the

Our souls need to breathe just as
our bodies need to breathe.
In his new book, 1.-THE Prophet,
KahilT Gibran speaks OF this. he
speaks Of those who are together
in marriage.
"But let there be spaces in your
togetherness," he says,
"And let the winds OF the heavens
dance between you.
Love one another, but make not
bond of love:
LET 1T RATHER BE A NOV
ING SEA BETWEEN THE
SHORES OF YOUR SOULS.
FILL EACH OTHERS CUP But
DRINK NOT FROM ONE
CUP.
Give one another Of your bread.
but eat not from the same

Sing and dance together and be
joyous, but let each one OF you
be alone.
Even as the strings of lutte are
alone though they culver with
the same music"
GIVE YOUR HEARTS BUT NOT

FOR ONLY THE HAND OF
LIFE CAN CONTAIN YOUR
HEARTS.
And stand together. but not too

For the pillars OF the temple stand

And the oak tree and the cypress
