SOAP BUBBLES.
Thinneis of the Gray Hued Films Jutt
Before They Burst. ,
What Is a soap bubble? Nothing bru
a film of water molecules held together
by the cohesive power of sonp In solu
tion. A sonp bubble's size and strength
depend upon the right composition of
the mixture tbat furnishes its mate
rial. The colors In a sonp bubble are
due to what Is known in physics as the
Interference of light, and depend upon
the varying thickness of the film of
water.
The observer who watches a bubble
as It Is blown wilt notice tbat the col
ors rapidly chnse one another over the
filmy globe. lie will also Pee that
tbey vary In hue. growing less and
less bright at the top of the bubble
because there gravity stretches It
dnwnwtw-d and makes the film thin
nest It la a singular fact that the last
color to appear on a soap bubble Just
before It breaks Is a gray tint The
thickness of the film when this tint
appears upon It is less than the one
hundred and fifty-elz-tbousandth of an
inch. '
Were a soap bubble to be magnified
to the size of the earth and the mole
cules magnified in proportion, then the
wtiote luik'iiu'i " coarse
grained as a globe of small lendshot
touching one another at their surfaces.
In the blowing of a sonp bubble there
is presented the spectacle of the
stretching of a liquid to the extreme
limit of Its capacity. In this way we
come nearer to a Bight of the Invisible
molecules of matter tbnn could be got
In any other way no matter how elab
orate the experiment Exchange.

; An East Indian Amulet
In India a variety of gems and
stones are used as amulets. The most
common is the salagrama, a stone
about as large as a billiard ball and
which is perforated with black. This
is supposed to be found only In Gan
daki. a river In Nepaul. The person
who possesses one of these stones Is
esteemed highly fortunate. He pre
serves It in a clean cloth, from whence
it Is sometimes taken to be bathed and
perfumed. He believes that the water
in which It Is washed, if drunk, has
the power to preserve from eln. Hold
ing It in bis hand, the dying Hindu ex
pires in peace.

It needs Just a little more thrill. Can't
you put something stirring in It?"
"Why. I might" said Scribley.

"Well." smiled the publisher, "sup

, ' CONFIDENCE.
We Back Up Our Statements With Our
- i Personal Reputation and lyioney.
We are so positive tliut we can re
lieve constipation, , no matter- how
chronic it may be. that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all !cost if
we fail. .-' . ,:
. We think that, it Is worse than use
less to attempt to cure constipation
with cathartic drags. Cathartics may
do much harm. They may cause a re
action. Irritate and weaken the bowels,
and make constipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect a cure
you must therefore tone np and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity. ,
The discovery of the active principle
of our. remedy involved the labor of
skilful, research chemists: This reme
dy, produces results such as are ex
pected from the 7est , of the best
known inteetinal tonics, and it is par
tkularly prompt in 1U resulta.
We want yon to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are ex
ceedingly pleasant to. take and are
Ideal for children. " They apparently
act directly on the nerves and muscles
of the bowels, having. It would seem,
a neutral action on other organs or
glands. They do not purge or cause
inconvenience.' If they do not posl'
tively cure chronic or habitual consti
pation and thus relieve the myriads of
associate or dependent chronic ail
ments, your money will be refunded..
