The miiRer Is simple enough to those
w ho know, it Is attained by the com-
L - .tlon of l',ie units of certain metals.
In other words, the burning metals
have each their characteristic color.
Sodium (five* ill yellow Uume; cal

um. red; copper, fcieuir or blue, accord
ing to elrcuuiehinceB. and so on. Other
familiar metals. Iron, sleet and sine,
give their tribute of colors. Iron filings
give bright red and white sparks; cop
per filings, a green tint; sine, a fine
blue; steel filings aid cast iron borings,
a brilliant tire with wavy radiations.
Every one Is familiar with the color
ed fires, but who would suppose that
lycopodium, the delicate pollen of cer
tain mosses, so fine that it is used to
powder baby’s akin, furnishes a rose
colered fire w ith a magnificent flame?
These colored fires are called In tech
nical language "fixed fires" and can
slat of slow compositions that may be
piled In little cooes on a flagstone and
lighted lit the top. They burn slowly
and there is no explosion. These com-
positions are made in many colors.
Roman candles belong to the fixed
Ore chioa and are also called fnaees.
We all know the straight, slender cyl
inder or cartridge of the oidinury ro
man caudle. It la packed as follows:
First there Is put Iu It a charge of fine
gunpowder, aud above this la placed a
‘star.’’ Tlieue Ytre simply balls of some
apodal composition containing-metallic

made up with gum and aptrita of wine.

cylinder Is full. Each a thr hall Is dried

A third class comprises the ascending
fireworks. Skyrockets belong to this
class and may be simple or very elab

A skyrocket consists of two parts—a
body and u head made separately and
afterward attached to the body. The
body is n straight cylinder-of heavy

A WALK IN THE WOOD8.
Emerson aura It’s One ot the Secrets
For Dodctoa Old Aa*.
Few men know how to take a walk.
Tbe qualification! of a professor are
endurance, plain clotboe, old eboee, in
eye for nature, good humor, vaat curi
osity, good speech, good silence and
nothing too much. If a man telia me
that lie baa an Intense love of nature. ■
know,.of course, that be has none.
Good observers have the manners of
trees and animal*, their patient good
sense, and If they add words 'tis only
when words are better than silence.
But a loud singer or a story teller or a
vain talker profanes the river nnd the
forest and Is nothing like so good com
pany ns a dog.
When Nero advertised for a new lux
ury a walk in the woods should have
been offered. 'TIs one of the secrets
for dodging old age, for nature makes
a like Impression on age as on youth.
Then I recommend It to people who
are growing old against their will A
man In that predicament if he stands
before a mirror or among young peo
ple. is made quite to? sensible of the
fact, bnt the forest awakes In him the
same feeling It did when he was e boy,
and he may draw a moral from the
fact that 'tis the old trees that have all
the beauty and grandeur. I admire the
taste which mates the avenue to a
