The cause of the milage Is now well under stood so well understood that there ate ways of making small mirages for cxperl- j tl The simplest explanation that I can Rive Is i to say that the ia > s of light coming from the thing that Is seen are bent In going through layeis of air differently heated When these rays are so bent as to bo al most level with a layer of air they do not enter U , U all , but ( so to apeak ) glance off , and are reflected as If from a mirror. Then Iho air icflccts just as a glass minor or a body of water would , If It lay between the ujo and the trees or .ship This explanation will give you a general Idea of the cause of the mirage. In the rmo of the desert the reflecting alr-mlrror believed by the observer to be water , and the Imago cluingcs Its place as you go for- ivard , Just as a reflection would move as you advanced on a gl.iss mirror. In the IM.O of the ship , thu ah-minor neor.is to u above > ou , and reflecta the ship which Is really out of sight over the horizon. Hut do not intend to explain all about the dif ferent Images that may possibly bo formed jndor different conditions of the atmosphere --that is a school room task , and a hard ono The "fata morgana" Is a foim or modifi bo cation of mirage often seen In the otralln hat separate the too of the "hoot" of Italy ind the Island of Sicily , Just opposite When " ho sun Is just at the right position and sea i uid air are also ready to help , strange views objectu upon the opposite coast are seen 'lorn Calabria sometimes magnified , and ct against a background of colored mists 'Fata morgana" means the "fairy of the sea , " It Is said that sometimes , during n hot 'ml still summer day , by placing the ojo Ioo to the surface of a diy road , a mirage an bo ecen ; but I have never triad It. Uefoio these and other strange sights were a indcrstood ! and explained vvu need not won- aIn Icr that aallorj and travelers held many Oil itrango beliefs In regard to them , 1.1 1.1n n nicclrln HIItfi-N. far nictrlo nittcrs 1s a medicine suited for iVl my wason , but perhaps more generally iVlGl icuilod ' when the languid , exhausted feellna ar irevallu , when the liver U torpid and slug- the Ish and the need of a topic and a Hera thn Lie ! felt.

COo and $1.00 per bottle at las tubu Si Co. , Drug Store , Si BITS OF FEMININE GOSSIP. jdl rSlffTralrPjlrMilSll Ono of the developments In bicycling Is the Increasing popularity of tandems , U Is said thnt there will be several times ns many tandonwc sold In 1897 as was the case In 1896. Women demand tandems , nnd , of course , men have' ' to use them , too. A woman docs not care lo ride a tandem with another woman. She wants a man , to do his share of the 'work and protect her In case of danger. So the spectacle of a big woman and a little man , or \ lcocrea , glid ing through Central park will bo much more common than It has been. The manu facturers nro studying the problem of making tandem bicycles stronger. It has been found that any bicycle made for vvomcn'a use Is likely to be weaker than that made for a man , It Is feaicd that there will never bo a thoroughly sallsfartory tandem until It Is niBde on the principle of wheels for mascu line use. Aside from this there Is not likely lo bo any material change In the fltylo of tandems , lllcjclcs of all kinds will not change much. There Is talk about the chain less wheel as something soon to bo used , but It Is not evident that much progress has been made , for every design suggeslcd so far has some fundamental weakness. The number of people who can and do write Interesting letters Is growing smaller and smaller every year. If the art Is not a lost ono now , It will probably bo so In n few > cars' time. The cheaper rates nnd In creased speed of traveling have as much to do with the change as the system of postage. H \s \ far easier now than In the mall-coach daja for friends even 1C living far apart to see each other often , and that being so , the necessity for long , chatty epistles' ' Is not so great. Letter writing between friends Is , after nil , nothing more thin a substitute for conversation , though It mu.H bo owned that "the fashionable noto" Is an exceed ingly poor substitute. Why have not the schools a special "correspondence depart ment" In their exhaustive curriculum ? The general practice of Trance and Ger many Is for o woman to go Into journalism very much as "a lady In reduced clicum- fitonccs" goes Into millinery. They hire a printer , or , what Is more common , make n contract with a printing olllce , engage a clerk , a piofcsslonal newspiper man , Issue tnstinotions , wilte whatever they please , and then pose upon an editorial throne of largo , or , generally , small dimensions. Of news they know llttlo and care for less Facts ten or fifteen jears old , known to every school girl In our country , are quoted by them as If of yesterday' * ? occurrence Of the mysteries of printing and the othci technical parts of the ptofcaslon they know nothing. In nearly every case , In order to make both ends meet , their llttlo publication becomes the oigau of a political patty , of n movement , a church , a school of thoiignt , a hoclei'J' , or a fad All the women of Kranee and Germany together do not do so much \vok as the women emplojed upon a single g.-eat dally paper In the United States. A recent smart function In London vvaa the concert glvenj at the duchess of Alan- cheater' , ! house , vvhcie the musical attrac tions were Ttostl and Ilyard , who sang Faure's songs m\d XI.

You would not take J 800 , or 1700 , or J 600 pounds for a ton if you knew it , would you ? Of course not well , then object lesson taking eight pages ( the average daily is sue ) of four newspapers , as a basis : The Omaha Bee Columns are 21 7-S in. long ; . World Herald Columns are 21 3-8 in. long1. Lincoln Journal Columns are 21 1-8 in. long * . Sioux City Journal Columns are 19 5-8 in. long1. Each line of The Bee is 13-V ems wide. Each line of the others only 13 ems wide. This short weight doesn't seem much , but in each 8-page paper we have this result f The Omaha Bee prints 292,010 ems or 697 inches. World Herald prints 272,016 ems or 622 inches. Lincoln Journal prints 269,624 ems or 616 inches. Sioux City Journal prints 250,572 ems or 572 inches. Don't you see THE BEE gives you 75 inches more space , or 82 colums , nearly one-half a page more than the JC World Herald ; 8J inches , nearly 4 columns , more than the Lincoln Journal ; 125 inches , or about 6 columns , more than the Sioux City Journal ? In one week this amounts to more than four pages of the World Herald , and with The Bee's Saturday supplement , eight pages or a whole paper. That's equivalent to eight Bees to seven World Heralds each week , or nine pages more than the Lincoln Journal , or eleven and one-half more than the Sioux City Journal each week.
