SUMMER COLORS NOW
ARE WORN BY OCEANS
Preference for Blue With
Foamy White Ruffles.
Washington, D. C.—“The much-trav
eled Atlantic is putting on its usual
color show for the summer tourist, it
is exhibiting a decided preference for
blue, with soft foamy white ruffles.
Sometimes it is wearing sage greens, \
deep Indigo, or royal purple.
“Globe trotters will find the Mediter
ranean and the Caribbean tricked out
In sapphire blue, the Ked sea in vary
ing shades of henna, the Yellow sea
In beige and tan, the Antarctic in
olive green and tlie shallows of the
Gulf of Mexico in a soft turquoise,”
according to a bulletin Issued from the
Washington (L>. C.) headquarters of
the National Geographic society.
“In order to put on such a pleasing
display of shade and hue, the seas
have summoned to their aid many and
varied hosts, notable among which
are warmth and cold, sunlight and
shadow, sand, silt, and possible vol
canic dust, salt, lime, and various and '■
sundry kinds of diatoms and algae.
“Absolutely pure water is a clear
blue color because the blue rays of
sunlight are not absorbed by the wa
ter as the red rays are. Thus the
open ocean seems intensely blue.
Distilled water has a greenish cast
due to the impurities which still re
main after the distillation. This
makes it clear why the shallow wa- j
ter In bays and estuaries is green or
yellowish green. One explanation of
the olive-green of the ocean In the
vicinity of the South pole is that ft
contains enormous quantities of di
atoms in suspension.
When a Gray Gown Is Worn.
“Sometimes the ocean wears a gray j
gown, but that usually happens when
the clouds shut out the sunlight and j
then in respect for the griin aspect of
the frowning skies It subdues the tones
of its garment.
"Two factors contribute largely to
the blueuess of the Mediterranean; !
there are few large rivers, which or
dinarily bring enormous quantities of
Impurities, flowing into it. and there ,
is a constant stream of salty water
pouring into it from the Atlantic
ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar
It Is said by some oceanographers that
the blue of sea water bears a direct
ratio to its saltiness. As an example
of this the band of tropical waters ex
tending about thirty degrees on each
side of the equator, where there Is
tremendous evaporation under a liluz
lng sun, is cited. It is true that these |
waters are very salty and an exquisite
azure in color. On the other hand,
the Arctic and Antarctic waters,
which are cold and less salty,,are vivid
green.
“The Yellow sea derives Its golden
tints from the sediment brought to it .
by the Yellow river and several other
streams rising near the desert areas
!n western China. Scientists also be
lieve that the billions of minute living
organisms found in its waters helped
give it Its name.
A Yellow River in the Atlantic.
"In January, 1909, a peculiar phe
nomenon was observed in the Atlantic
ocean. Running parallel with the
warm clear blue waters of the Gulf
stream from Cape Florida to Cape
Hatterus, there was a yellow river
three miles wide. It lasted for a few
weeks and then faded away Into the
surrounding ocean. Some cataclysm
on the face of the deep, probably of
volcanic origin, had evidently set this
yellow stream in motion.
“The dull reddish tint of the Red
sea is Imparted to it by millions of
microscopic algHe. A host of the min
ute Dlnoflagellata sometimes will red
den the ocean for miles.
“The lovely blue of the waters sur
rounding the coral Islands of the South
seas, which have long been famous in
song and story, Is said to he due to
the calcium carbonate which is held
in solution.
“The degree of penetration of light
into water is a contributing factor In
the color of various bodies of water.
The Saguenay river, a tributary of the
St. Lawrence from the north, is
somber and Impressive because Its wa
ters seem almost black. It winds
through high hills which shut out the
light and its bed is cut 600 feet deep
er than that of the river Into which
It flows.
“In 1901, the sea off the California
coast turned almost black, the waters
of Santa Cruz bay becoming particu
larly Inky, but no satisfactory expla
nation has ever been offered of the
occurrence."

SWEDEN CARES FOR
WAYWARD CHILDREN
New Law Requires State Be
Given Their Custody.
Stockholm.—Compulsory removal of
wayward or depraved children from
their homes into public custody, and
subsequent supervision up to the age
of eighteen, is provided for in u new
law for the care of children which has
just been passed by the riksdag.
The law further provides fur public
care of children who are found to be i
exposed to undesirable influence and
in danger of becoming depraved.
Children removed from their homes j
by government inspectors and matrons
in compliance with this law are placed
in government institutions, or in good
private homes in the country, where j
they receive expert training and can
grow up in healthful surroundings.
Social service of a similar sort lias
been curried on in the cities of Swed- j
en, especially Stockholm, for many [
years by municipal ami state boards. !
who place tile children in desirable j
homes far out In the country, and pay
an annual compensation to these
homes. In many cases a strong bond !
of affection grows up between these
waifs of the slums and their foster
parents, which culminates in legal
adoption.
Under the new law every city and i
parish will have a special hoard for
the care of children, Including local
pastors and teachers as permanent
members, while inspectors will travel
all over the country for the purpose
of observing and controlling individ
ual development. Thousands of coun
try homes receive the poor children
of the city as guests during the sum
mer and send them back to their
homes with cheeks round and rosy.
Nation-wide and energetic philan
thropic work also Is carried on by the
Swedish soelety "Save the Children."

nual Children's day, when large
amounts are raised to provide sum
mer vacations In children's colonies
by the seaside, and in some cases on
islands specially reserved.
Philippines in Quake
Belt, Scientist Warns
Manila.—That Manila may at al
most any time be visited by an earth
quake such as destroyed Yokohama
>ast September is the warning given
by Father Roque Ruano. professor of
physics and engineering in the Univer
sity of Santo Tomas, who has just re
turned from a visit in Japan, where
he studied the effect of earthquakes in
that country.
“The Philippines lie in the same seis
mic zone as does the earthquake re
gion of Japan, and conditions in Ma
nila are analogous In many respects to
those found in Yokohama.” said Fa
ther Ruano. “The same subsoil that is
found In Yokohama is found here and
building construction is practically
Identical.”
The professor recommends that a
committee of geologists and scientist*
study the earthquake regions of the
Philippines and make a report In order
to impress upon the people the neces
sity of preparing for a severe quake
at any time.
Sing Sing Has Largest
Roster in Its History
New York.—Warden Lewis K.

With 1,447 state guests occupying these
quarters, said to he the most choice of
all the country's prisons, room is left
for but a few more. It is the largest
roster the penitentiary has had In
eight years.
The crowded condition will not af
fect the persons now under Mr. Lawes’
supervision, but It will he hard on the
offenders who are sentenced to Sing
Sing from now on, for the trip will be
continued from the Ossining establish

Their first conversation
betrayed the fact that
she was not fastidious
AT a distance she had appeared
i unusually neat, immaculate.
But upon their first face-to-face
meeting he discovered that her teeth
were not clean. And he soon lost
interest.
So many people overlook this one
matter of fastidiousness. And do so
in spite of the fact that in conversa
tion the teeth are the one most
noticeable thing about you.
Notice today how you, yourself,
watch another person's teeth when
he or she is talking. If the teeth are
not well kept they at once become
a liability.
