SCIENCE SKETCH. BY A. O. GRANGER. NUMBER 6. WHY IS THE SKY BLUE ? Southern Woman, Light can only be seen by re flection, unless we look directly at the source of light. At night the whole sky is full of light from the sun, but it is only when the moon is there to reflect it that we realize the fact. Before the sun rises above the horizon in the morning (how many readers of the “Southern Woman” have been up at such a time?) its light is made manifest by reflection from the particles of dust in the atmos phere, and we have the same phe nomenon after sunset. Were it not for the presence of dust the transition from absolute darkness to sunlight would be equally sud den. There would be no twilight. If we could arrange a dark room so that a ray of sunlight could come in on one side of the room to pass out on the other side the beam of white light would be seen by reflection from the dust in the room. If the room were well -washed and sprinkled, or wetted down, so that there was no dust, then the beam of light would cross the room without being seen But if there were extremely minute particles of dust present in small quantity, then the ray of light would be blue approaching the color of the sky. This was beautifully proven in 1868 by Prof. Tyndall at the Royal Institute, London, which was founded by an American, Ben iamin Thompson, afterwards Count Rumford, for popularizing science, and has been made world famous bv the labors of Thomas Young, H umphrey Davy, Michael Fara day, John Tyndall, Lord Raleigh James Dewar, and others. When in England recently I saw Lord Rayleigh repeat Tyndall’s experi ment of passing a beam from an electric light through a glass cyl inder about 5 inches in diameter and 7 feet long. When the cylin der was filled with the ordinary air of the room and the ray of light passed through it, the inter ior of the cylinder became brightly illuminated. The cylinder was so arranged that a vacuum could be created in it, and at the inlet end was placed a series of fine plati num wire gauzes that could be electrically heated while hot. When the tube was filled with air that had slowly passed over lEis hot screen every particle of dust was consumed, and then the tube being filled with absolutely clean air and the ray of electric light passed through from end to end, the whole interior was black like a section of the night, there being no dust to reflect the light. Then when a vacuum was made in the tube and the air was rapidly ad mitted so that very fine particles only of the dust were able to pass the hot screen,and the tube became filled with this air and the beam of light passed through it lengthwise, the whole interior of the tube was sky blue. To understand the explanation of this phenomenon it is well to recall the colors of the spectrum as seen through a prism or in the rainbow. They run in the follow ing order: Violet, indigoblue, green, yellow, orange, red. An easy' way to remember the order of the colors is to form the word “vibgvor” of the intial letter of each color. The three primary colors are blue, yellow and red. The wave lengths of light at the blue end are short, and those at at the red end are twice as long. Also the rays of light toward the blue end are much more refrangi ble than those toward the red end In other words they are turned aside to a much greater extent than those toward the red end which tend to proceed more in straight lines, and are not so easily refracted or turned aside, Now when the larger particles of dust PIMPLES “Jly wife had pimples on her face, but she has been taking CASCAKKTS and they have all disappeared.

Near the surface of the earth the dust particles reflect practically all wave lengths, and so produce col orless light, or what we term white light. But higher and higher up in the atmosphere the dust parti cles become infinitesimally small, as they must be in order to float in the rarifled upper atmosphere, and so reffect only the blue light, hence we have the beautiful blue of the sky. The white light near the surface of the earth dilutes the blue as we look up, and so over large areas of land we have pale blue sky. In mid-ocean or on islands, or penin sulas, such as Italy, we have the blue sky of greater depth because there is less dust in the air; and from the summit of high mountains che sky becomes deep blue because of being above the larger particles of dust floating in the atmosphere near the earth. , One of my sons is in business in the United States of Columbia, South America, and he says that the sky there is much bluer than in this country, and that the stars shine more brilliantly at night. This is because Columbia is a very mountainous country, and being near the equator, with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Carri bean Sea on the other, the high mountains condense the enormous amount of moisture rising from the water, with the result that ex tremely heavy rains are of almost daily occurrence, hence (.here is very little dust in the atmosphere. The Aeronaut “Glaisher” re ported that on extremely high ele vations the sky lost its bright blueness and became blue black; the explanation is that from such very high elevations the thin blue atmosphere is projected on the in tense blackness of space where there is no dust. The blue color of the deep ocean and of deep lakes is explained in the same way. The water is full of particles of extremely fine dust, so fine that Tyndall estimated that centuries would be required for its quiet subsidence. The larger par ticles more rapidly sink to the bot tom, leaving the smaller particles to reflect the blue rays of light.

NEED OF WATER DRINKING- Something Particularly Necessary For All Neurasthenics. A well-known nerve specialist has said that “all neurasthenics (that is, people with unhealthy nerves) have dissiccated nerves and suffer from an insufficiency of fluid in the tissues of the body,” It is probable, says the Youth’s Companion, that we all, in more or less degree, even w hen not con scious of any definite symptoms, are suffering in some part of our system for the lack of enough fluid, and especially of enough pure, cool water. We know that so nicely' Is the human body adjusted and adapted to its uses that one part cannot suffer without all suffering. If the nerves are dissiccated, or dried through lack of fluid, then it is certain that other tissues are also suffering from the same lack, and that the wheels of the wonderful machinery are being clogged by reason ot waste matter which is not washed away. We see by this that water does for us a three-fold service. It feeds, it washes, and it carries away the cinders of the body furnace; and through the want of it we are ex posed to many and great dangers. The tissues become too dry, the blood is thick and its flow slug gish, and the retained waste of the body sets up a condition which the doctors calls “autointoxication,’, or selfpoisoning. This condition may give rise almost any known symp toms, from a pimple to heart fail ure, and is really responsible for most of the semi-invalids with whom the world is largely peopled. To obtain the best results from water drinking certain rules should be observed. People do not all need the same amount, and it may take a little experimenting to find out just how much should betaken in individual esses. It has been stated by some physicians that five or six pints should be taken dur ing the 24 hours. Of this only a moderate quantity should be taken with the meals. It is mistake to take no water with a meal, but it is perhaps a greater mistake to wash food down with water, especially with ice water. The best time for water drinking is at night and early in the morn ing' It is well to form the habit of slowly sipping, during the bath and while dressing, two or three glasses ot cool —not ice cold —water. Two or three more may be sipped at bed time, and again two or three glasses an hour or two before luncheon and before dinner. In a very short time the value of this habit will become apparent in the resultant general improvement in digestion, temper and appear ance. The Anarchist Movement- American Review of Reviews. It is, perhaps, unfortunate that the word “anarchist,” like the word “socialist,” should havecoine to be used so loosely and indefi nitely as to include men of widely different ways of thinking. Thus; all the followers of Count Tolstoy, and all believers in the doctrine of non-resistance, are philosophically anarchists, because they deny the right to exercise authority,—and without authority there could be no such thing as government or state. But the adherents of this cre;d of non-resistance are, of course, as much opposed to vio lence against governmental auth ority, on the one hand, as they are to the exercise of coercion by the government itself. Quite apart from philosophies, creeds and doc trines, the anarchist movement is the extreme expression of individ ual or social discontent. It can doubtless to some extent be hunted down as essentially treasonable and criminal; but it must not for a moment be forgotten that a very large measure of freedom of speech and general liberty is the best safe guard against the dangerous plot ting of anarchists. Nothing has been more clear since the assassi nation of President McKinly that the fact that this great nation as a whole is absolutely untainted with the horrible virus of anarchism. That there are anarchists here and there in many towns and cities is evident enough, but they are not part and parcel of the community; they are extraneous. Their assas sination of the President of the United States has had no more effect upon the firmness of our in stitutions than a puff of dust from the desert might have upon the Great Pyramid. Hilda—And when you was in the army )-ou actually had to sleep on the ground? It must have been awful. Hugh—Oh, I don’t know. It Aasn’t altogether bad. It had a compensation.
