THE COLORS OF WATER.
A Simple Object LdMn That 1'roveil In
tereittln to Child.
- "Is it not true, grandpa, that water
has no colorr"
"Yes, dear child, it is blue, but bo little-
so that you cannot see it."
"Can you see that it is blue?"
"No, but Btill it is blue. Look at
this."
I took a little- ultramarino on the end
of the bruah and mixed it with water.
"Does it look blue now?"
"Xo; I seo nothing."
"Nor I. But you saw how I put a lit
tle blue color in it with the brush."
"Yes, but there was not enough of it.
Put more in."
I silently took the glass and set it on
a pieco of white pai?r in the bright sun
shine. "Now look from above down
into it."
"It is blue," said the little one, clap
ping her hands, "but only a very little."
"Look at it from the other side, where
the sun is shining into it. Is it not a lit
tle bit red, like the bell flowers which
you picked yesterday?"
"That is wonderful," said the little
one. "It is blue from above, a little bit
red in the sun, and when we look at it
from this side of the room we see noth
ing" "Think about it a little. Tko glass is
as broad as mv finder is long. But it is
at least three times as high as my finger.
When you look at it from the side, you
see only a finger's length of water; but
when you look down into it. you see
through three fingers' length of water
thre3 times as much. You see it blue
from the side, and three times as blue
from above, don't you?"
"Is that really true?" said the little
one, as she measured with her finger.
She nodded that she was satisfied.
"Now imagine that the water is as
deep as the height of the church steeple,
and deener that it reaches from here
up into Salvan and down to Vemayaz.
Then vou would see the water from
above it all blue."
"Is the lake, then, really so deep?"'
"Yes, and deeper."
I will not continue the conversation
any longer. It went on with various
simple experiments, beginning with dif
ferently colored stones, which I let drop
into the water, and then placed on the
white, then with setting the glass with
its weakly bluish contents on differently
colored papers, and ended with my try
in ? to make the children perceive how
the colors changed when they were seen
through the whole depth of the glass. 1
will not say that the little ones were
brought to a full comprehension of the
matter, but they stuck fast to the asser
tion that water is blue, of an infinitely
weak blue, and that the blue color can
not be seen till one looks into a certain
depth of it. Carl Vogt in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Search Lights versus Torpedo Roats.
It is stated that one of the most effect
ive means of protecting a ship in these
days of torpedoes (the grouping to
gether of a number of stationary search
lights, each illuminating its own section
so that the ship is surrounded by an un
broken circle of light), is to be adopted
in the new American warships. This
has been suggested by a very pronounced
defect in the usual search light practice.
In order to afford sufficient time for a
careful examination of the water's sur
face at points removed from the ship,
the beam of light must be revolved very
slowly, and hence during a great por
tion of the time any particular section
of the water is left in darkness. As it
takes only five minutes for a torpedo
boat to run a distance of two miles, it
will be seen that the conditions are all
in favor of the attacking force. Before
the revolution of the search light is com
pleted there is plenty of time for the tor
pedo boat to run up and discharge her

An Electrical Sunrise.
A Twenty-third street theater has
brought out an electrical sunrise. A
curved screen, part of which is made of
gauze, so that the light may shine
through, extends around the stage, and
behind it is an elaborate 6ystem of in
candescent lamps. The controlling ap
paratus is so graduated that fifty differ
ent degrees of light and shade can be
produced, thus causing the sunrise to
m-nw inmerceptiblv. Another use of
the electric current made at the same
place is in representing the explosion of
a bomb.

A Tiny Timepiece.
M. Morquet, a friar of the Florentine
order in Paris, has constructed a perfect
watch only a quarter of an inch in di
ameter. Besides the two hands seen on
all watches it has a third which mark3
the seconds, besides a microscopic dial
which indicates the days, weeks, months
and years. It also contains an alarm
and on its front lid is an ingeniously cut
figure of St. Francis. On the back cover

In the llusiness of Revolution.
The Englishman imagines that revolu
tion and treason are serious affairs and
must be conducted with set teeth and
grave face. Not so the men of the
Latin races. To. them revolutions are
like race meetings, wun s, cv.-icu
amount of danger added. An English
man feels disgraced at the idea of recur
rent revolution. IS ot so a Frenchman or
a Spaniard. London Spectator.

Fat People on a Hot Day
On one of the recent hot, soggy after
noons, when every man hated his neigh
bor and tried to keep at a distance from
him. a perspiring, heavily clothed fat
man waddled into an elevated train at
the city hall station and pre-empted one
of the cross seats. He breathed like a
iwmoise and moined his face with a
large handkercLief.
Just before the train started a wu;:"i,
heavy almost beyond description wiili
adipose tissue, entered the same car.
The car creaked beneath her tread. The
passengers were many, and those who
adjoined empty seats watched her prog
ress with a nef vous glance. But with
as great a degree of blindness of choice
as is sometimes said to prevail in mar
riage, she plunged tc the center of the
car and pressed herself down into the
space beside the fat man.
The fat man looked at her a moment,
but she seemed oblivious of his regard.
Then he braced himself for a move and
got out of his seat. Then the fat woman
became aware of his presence.
"Don't move plenty of room," said
she.
"Madam," Raid he, and his voice wa3
hicrh and clear, "it's a hot day. 1 am
fat. You are fa.t. We've got no busi
ness to be any where near each other.
So vnn'll excuse me." And he moved
away with an imitation of dignity
while the nnssemrers laujrhed at hid
forcible English.
But the fat woman, nettled at first,
thought better of it, and as she spread
herself over the entire seat murmured
to a crowded neighbor, "lucres soinu

Clouds of Locustts.
The locusts are reappearing in Algeria
in greater numbers than ever, in spite o.
the efforts that were made by the French
administration last year to annihilate
the pests. It is now believed that they
come clear across the desert from the
Soudan. The period of incubation
varies from twenty to thirty days, and
the locusts require only about two
months to attain their complete develop
ment. This fact gives a realizing sense
to the prodigious numbers in which the
terrible insect may' multiply during its
nroirress across the Sahara. Great
clouds of the locusts have already been
seen on the northern edge of the Sahara
making their way north, lhe news
comes from Touggurt and Ghardaia in
the Sahara that early this year the
locusts suddenly invaded those places
in such enormous numbers that for four
hours they fairly darkened the heav-

clouds of locusts were reported m the

ten years. In the caricatures of him in

resented, owing to his being one of the
tallest of the deputies, by what might
be called a hop pole clad m a long over
coat and very high silk hat. W hen he
was twenty-two he took his degree or
doctor of law, and m 1376, when bignor
Depretis was in power, he had become
director of customs. Signor Cnspi made
him minister of the treasury in March,
1889, and in November, 1890, minister
of finance. A month later bignor tjio-
litti resigned, owing to a difference with
the minister of public works, whose ex-
nenditure he wished to cut down. He
then helped to bring about the fall of
the Crispi cabinet. Signor Giolitti is

Sheep from Persia.
Thirteen sheep and three lambs are on
their way consigned to the agricultural
department at Washington a fact that
presents considerable interest for the
agriculturally minded. They were ship
ped from Persia, and an attempt is to
be made to introduce their breeding into
this country.
These sheep are said to be noted for
the beauty and richness of their skins,
which are the purest astrakhan. As a
warm climate is necessary for their ex
istence, at least for the present, they
will probably be sent to southern Cali
fornia or to some other warm climate,
where their value and adaptability to
this country can be determined. Wor

seeking temporarily to better their con

An important discovery of very ex

Sweden, has quite recently been mude

IS tin- Opium Is Gathered.
It is a sort of garden cultivation, the
poppy plants being grown m nine
squares or beds intersected by tinjr wa
ter channels for irrigation wherever this
is possible. The growth of the plants is
carefully tended, and at length the time
comes when thej- burst out into flower,
and tho fields look like a sheet of silver
as the white petals of the flowers glisten
in the morning dew.
These beautiful petals are the first
produce of the crop, for the women and
children of tho cultivators' families
come forth and pick them off one by
one and carefully dry them, so that they
may serve afterward as tho covering of
the manufactured cakes of opium. Then
the poppies, with their bare capsule
heads, remain standing in the open
field until it is considered tflat they are
ripe for lancing. The cultivators then
come forth in the evening, and, with an
implement not unlike the knives of a
cupping instrument, they scarify tne
capsule on its sides with deep incisions,
so that the juice may exude.
In the early morning the cultivators
reappear with a scraping knife and their
earthenware pots, and they scrape on:
the exuded juice and collect it in their
pots. And this is crude opium. Black

A Tragic Kindergarten Episode.
A certain kindergarten is blessed with
the attendance of a very original youth
named Richard. He is a very honest
little boy and highly respected by his
parents, but tho other afternoon when
he came home he acknowledged frankly
to his mother that a punishment had
been inflicted upon him at the kinder
garten. "Why, what have you done?"
"Well, you see," he answered, "John
ny and I got tired of being good, and we
made up em minds that we would just
get our heads together and holler out
the verv naughtiest word we could
think of, both together."
The mother was inexpressibly shocked.
Johnny was another very nice and well
bred boy. But she mar aged to ask:
"Well, what did you y?"
"We just screamed out 'Bedbug!' as
loud as we could 1
Probably this tragic episode has never
had its duplicate in the history of kinder-
gartening. Boston Transcript.
Probably no issue or a newspaper was
