Wiihex II There WenU he Me r.g Re !. He Bain, Me Knew, * Brll llant Kunsru. anil Ocmlesn Mr* When a ray of sunlight fall* through an aperture into a darkened room it is render- ed visible a* far as it ei tends. What ws actually as*, however, to not the ray of light, bat the particle* of floating dust ren- dered visible by it. It might appear at t glance, that the part played by dust ptrticUl in nature il of no great scientific or general interest ; a* a matter of fact, however, they play a very important role. Dust isan important factor in almost every phenomenon of the earth'* atmosphere. In the first place it to doe to the dust that th* heavens are blue. When W* lift our eyes to the vaulted arch above us ws see sun- ight reflected by every particle of dust ; there l* nothing bnt th* duit between u* and th* inn to transmit its light to us. Light traverse* all gases, no matter whit their oLemical composition, in straight line*, and to invisible, Th* dust intercepts and reflects it on all sides, and make* the whole atmosphere luminous in th* same manner as it make* the track of th* sun's rays visible in a darkened room. Without dust there would be no blue firmament ; the heaven won 1.1 be blacker than ws see it on moonless night*. On this black background the glowing sun would shine oat sharply, and the same sharp con- trast of intense light and deep shadow would characterize the surface ot Iheearlb. There would b* nothing to subdue Ibis harp oontrast but the moon nd iters, which would remain visible by day. The illumination of the earth would be similar to that which we observe when locking at the moon through a tele- scop* ; for Ihe moon has no atmospheric en- velope and consequently no dust in suspen- sion. It to due entirely to the dnit that we enjoy our soft, uniformly diffused day- light, for which our eye* are especially adapted ; and it to the duit which contri butee 10 much to the beauty of the land- scape. But, while the foregoing explain* how the duit mikes the whole vaull of heaven light, it do** not explain why it I* chiefly the blue rayi of the white sunlight that arc reflected, and, only to a small sxtent, the green, yellow, and red rays. Thto i* dependenl on th* six* of th* dnit partioles. It is only th* finest of them that are borne by the air current into every sire 1 turn of air, and it is only these fine, widely diffuse 1 dun particle* that ar* of any sig- nificance m tins connection. N'ow let us consider the mechanism of light and the extreme shortness ol th* ether wave* which constitute its essence. These waves, al- though all microscopically small, vary considerably in length. The fineatmoepherio dbit include! many particles large enough to reflect the hart blue ether wave*, fewer particle* capable of reflecting green and yellow, and still fewer large enough to influence the long red ethereal waves. The red light, consequently, pease* through the great majority of the dm 1 particles com- paratively unhindered i the blue rayi on the contrary, are intercepted and diffueed, and so become visible. Thto to the reason that th* fine*t dust and so, too, th* firm- ament appears blue, So, then, Ihe finest duit appear* bin*. You may observe that the wreath that curl* upward from th* burning end of a cigar ii blue, while the imok* drawn through and exhaled to whitish. The par- liclee in th* latter oass have muted and be- come large euough to reflect white light. So, too, in the country on a clear day th* ky ii blue, bnt in the city it appears whit- ish, because f the greater number of coarse dust particles in the air. It i* especially on mountain heights that the sky is so intensely blue, because the rarefied atntos- phere supports only the fineit dust particles. At great height* t he sky would b* almost black if there were no duit particle* in suspension. W* see it grow psle a* we look al Ihe lower strata of air toward tns horizon. But why to th* sky in Italy and in the tmpics so much deeper blue than with us ' Is ths dull finer there ? A* a fact, it really ii. Not that finer dnit rise* there ; bnt In our climate the dull particle* ar* coon saturated with water vapor, which make* them coarser. In warmer region*, how- ever, the vapor retain* it* watery character and doe* not condense on the floating duit. It i not until the aerial currents have horns it to higher and colder regions lhat it ii condensed to clouds, Thto brings us to the molt important role played by dust in our atmosphere ; it* influence in determining rainfall, dne to the fact that vapor fluidities upon th* dust particle*. It may b* accepted a* beyond question lhat, of all th* water evaporated by the sun from the surface of land and lea, not one drop returni which ha not condensed upon a particle of duet a* a nucleus. Thii is easily dimonitrfcted. W* till a large flask ith air which has been filtered through ootton waddings until all the original duit to driven out -nd the flask to full of dunlin air. Into this dnslless air lurn a current ot steam from a kettle, and yon will find it transparent, and, therefore, invisible, Not a trace of the cloudy appearance we associate with iteam. The only thing noticeable is that the inner walls of the flask begin to drip ; the vapor condense* here as it cools, because there ii nothing else for it to condense on. But blow ordin- ary dint-laden air into the flask, and the vapor at once assumes the familiar cloudy appeaianoe due to its condensation on the dust particles ; and il begins to rain in the flask. Th* reason for thi* is that th* vapor condenses on the dost particle* and freight* them until they (ink as rain- drop*. Without dust, then, we would have no fog, no clondi, no rain, no snow, no bril- liant-hoed lunaeU, no cerulean sky. The sui face of the earth itself, the tree*, the house*, along with man and beast, would be the only object* OD which the vapor could condense, aad these would begin to drip whenever the air was cooled sufficient- ly. In winter everything ould be covered with a orust of ice. Our clothes would be* come saturated with water condensing upon them. Umbrellas would be of no avail. The vapor-laden atmosphere, moreover, would pr uet rate to our room* and condense upon ths wall* and furniture. In ihort.the world we live in would be quit* another world if there were no dust. Since scientists began to realto* th* im- portant part played by dust in th* economy ot nature, measure* bare been taken to count the particle* in a given space. In London and in Paris, at the surface, a cub ic oeatimeter has been found to contain nearly quarter of a million particle*; on the top of th* Kiflel Tower there are about half as many, wh ile in the high Alps there are only about 200 particles to the centi- meter. A great deal of the dost at high altitudes to aosmic dust, consisting, like th* meteorites, of carbon and iron. PICTORIAL CRAMBO. Am Am !* ssesUnesjilen ef Crass** r iriorl al Instead ef Peeilul. A very amusing pictorial modification O ' -he old game of " crambo," in which th* last word only of alia* of v*n* to furnish ed by one player to sis nsxt neighbor, who thereupon ha* to write another line to rhyme with It, ii described by an exchange. Thto new game to pictorial instead ot poetical. In it three or more players sit around a table. Kaon ha* a pencil and a piece of paper folded twice that to into three sec- tions. Then each p'ayer draws a picture of the head of some creature- man, beast, bird, fish, or imaginary and monstrous object. He carries ths line of the neck of his picture just over the first fold ,to serve as a guide lo Ihe next player. Then he folds the paper over so that the head shall not be Men, and pas*** the paper along to the next lift hand player, who draws a body for th* head, also carry- nf th* line* n little below the fold. It to then passed on as before anil the neit left-hand player drawi th* legs to finish this body. Of course when all three paper* have been passed around, >ch player ha* drawn * head, a body and legs, bat each has drawn them on a different, slip, and to match other portions of a body whieh he has not seen. The pspsrs are then unfolded and inspected, and the combinations are always found to be curious and laughable. The picture given above was produced in such a game. It adds to the interest if each player has in hismiud a particular sort of creature, so that the head, body and legs which he drawi would, if they were all on the same paper, produce something like a coherent picture. The " mixing np" in such cases to likely to be funnier than if each player had lekena new tack wilh each paper. Steam Engine Breakdowns. According to Prof. Sweet's investiga- tions, ingineen will find the cause of steam engine breakdowns to consul among othsr occasions in th* fact of water in the cylinder, and that it is the inertia of the flywheel that produces th* daman*. Thii may be prevented in the case of every engine with separate crank and flywheel, the Professor remarki, by mak- ing th* connection be. ween the wheel and the shaft a friction connection th*t the flywheel filling a taper ssat on the ihaft, a taper of say two or three inches to the foot, and forced on by a feathered washer nut or cross key, serving the purpose, ths cost under thto arrange- ment not being a noticeable feature, of course, compared to the entire cost of the engine. Further, Prof. Sweet remarks that the impossibility of throwing the flywheel one of true by keying would be worth the cost, and when done, it would only be necessary to adjust the friction to the legi- timate work, so that In oass of accidental resistance the flywheel would *lid* along, leaving the balance of the engine at rest. The Shrinkage of the World, Vice Admiral Sir .John Hopkins, com- manding the British cruiser* blake and Tartar, which have been visiting Boston, on Monday evening made a statement to a number of press reporters, in which he said : "The distance which part* Kngland and America lessens every day. The tie* which unit* them grow every day stronger. Againit thi* lilent and inevitable drift of things the spirit ol narrow isolation on either side of the Atlantic etiuggles in vain. It i* possible to read that the two branches of the English people may remain forever separate political existences. It is iikely, though, that the older of them may again break in twain, and that the English in the Pacific may assert as distinct a nit- ional life as the two English peoples on either tide of the Atlantic. I trim that in the near future a real and higher federation of our naval forcei may occur, and that the glorious flag* of your country and miuo may guarantee abiding peace and protection throughout the world. " A Robin's Nest In a Church. A few Sundays ago, on the family of Mr. VV. A. Wykeham Musgrave entering their pew in Thame Park Chapel, Oxfordshire, Kng., they were surprised to see a partially built robin's nest on the book ledge against a Prayer Book and a Hymn Book. The family immediately decided to occupy another seat and leave the little redbrtait uurnoieited in it* strange abode. On the following Sunday the neit was completed and contained flvesggs, and on the succeed- ing Sun Uy the bird sat on the eggs during the whole of ths service. It has now been found that the bird has hashed four young onei, and the mother flew in and out of the chapel during tlif service last Sunday wit'i food for her younj.

Hearing that a rather remarkable cure bad been effected in the case of Mr. William Baptist, a respected resident of the township of Culrose, a News reporter called upon that gentleman lo ascertain facts. Mr. Btptiat to an intelligent and well-to-do tanner. He i* well known in the section in which he resides and to looked upon as a man of unimpeachable integrity. He is in the prime of life, and his present appearance does not indicate that be had at one time been a great sufferer. He received the News representative with the utmost cor- diality, and cheerfully told the story of his restoration to health, remarking that h* felt it a duty to do so in order that other* atHioted a* re had been might find relief. Up to th* tall of 189-.' he had been * healthy man, but at that time while bar vesting the turnip crop during a spell o' wet, cold and disagreeable weather, he wat attacked by sciatica. Only tboee who have passed through a similar experience can telf what he suffered. He bays il wa* something terrible. The pain was almost unendurable and would at time* cause the perspiration to ooxe from every pore. Sleep forsook his eyelids. His days were days of anguish and night brought no relief. Reputable physi- nsns were consulted without any appreci- able benefit. Rem*die* of various kind* were resorted to and his condition was worse than before. The limb affected began to decrease in sue, the flesh appeared to be parting from the bone, and the leg assumed a withered aspect. Its power of sensation grew less and less. It appeared as a doad thing and a* it grew more and more help- less it to little wonder that the hope of recovery oegan to fade away. All through the long winter lie continued to suffer, and towards spring was prevailed upon to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He ummenced using them and coon felt that they were doing him good and hope began to revive, By the time he had taken three box** th* pain was eased and the dictated limb began lo assume a natural condition. He o >nuou- d th* use of the remedy until he had taken twelve boxes. In course of time he was able to resume worn and to-day feel* that h* u completely oured. H* Kessinc* recom- mended Dr. William*' Pink Pills to otben with good result*. An analysis shows that Dr. Williams' Pink Pill* contain in a condensed form all the elements necessary to giv* new life lo the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing ipecitic for all diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood, or from an impairment of ths nervous syitem, such as Ices of appetite, depression ol spirits, anatmia, chlorosis or green sickness, general muscular weakness, locomotor atana, paralysis, sciatica rheu maltom, St. Vitui' dance, the after effects of !a grippe, and all disease* depending upon a vitiated condition of the blood, luen as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, *o. They are also a specific for the troubles pecu- liar to toe female lyitem, building anew th* blood and reetoring Ihe glow of health to pale and sallow cheek*. In th* c*se of men they effect a radioal cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses. Dr. Williams' Pink Pilli are manufactur- ed by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Brockvill* Ont., and Scheneclady.N.
