It was the wish of the late duke that at least the choir of the cathedral should be restored to render it suitable for services, and that the prisilege of worshipping there should be â€" exâ€" temded by the Church of Scotland to other denominations. The trusâ€" tees, including the principals of the Upiversities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Abermicen and St. Mary‘s Coilege, St. Andrew‘s, intend to restore at a cost of over £20,000 the choir, _ tower, transepts and naveâ€"a work underâ€" taken only under the advice of the best eccliesiastical architects â€" and with all possible reverence for the hbistoric interest of the existing ruins.

If he is the other kind, let him burn thom, by all means.

If they are very thin and limp und tame, they are like!ly to be all the more suggestive. In the light of fuller knowledge and experience the things they tried to say can be better said.

These colors are produced by the breaking up of the white solar light which illumine« the plates into its component rainbow colors, somewhat though not precisely in the same way, as may be done with a glass prism, The breaking up is caused in this case by the fact that the light is re flected into the eye from two surâ€" faces, which are very close togetherâ€" the surfaces of the very thin layer of air between the two platesâ€"and that the light reflected from one surface "interferes" with and partially deâ€" stroysa that reflected from the second surface. ‘Th> particular color which will result depends upon the distance that the surfaces are apart, or in other words, upon the thickness of the layer of airâ€"or of the film of oil or the shell of the soap bubbleâ€"and it is because this thickness is not everyâ€" where exactly the same that we geot the different colors. ‘This is only one of the waysa in which "interference" gives rise to these iridescent colors, as they are called.

If two small plates of glass, say an inch square, are careiuly wiped, to remove all rust, and are vhen pressed lirmly togethor between the thumb and forelinger of each hand there will appear in the space between them a series of irregular, more or less oval, colored bands.
