A cloud is white because Its cor
puscles of vapor are large enough to
reflect all rays, large and small. But
the npper air has infinite numbers of
particles so minute that they throw
back only the smaller or blue waves
mt light, and not the larger red, yel
low and green waves, and thus blue is
the predominant, bnt not exclusive,
icolor of the sky. This long-accepted
theory of Prof. Tyndall's is now ques
tioned by M. Spring, the Swiss phys
icist. He has experimented with
luminous, rays under many conditions,
gettinjfall colors except blue, which
failed to appear, until, by the aid of
electricity, he secured a pure atmos

blue, leading to the conclusion that the

OUTPUT OF TOOTHPICKS.
Millions Manufactured 1b America
and Mora Imported.
There is one article of manufacture
that is used so extensively" In the Uni
ted States that no one has an idea of
the annual quantity consumed, namely,
wooden toothpicks. According to an
expert, the number is simply incalcul
able. Millions upon millions of the tiny
wooden slivers, are turned out every
year from American factories alone,
and on top of this tremendous output
come importations from Portugal and
Japan and other countries nearly as
large-as the domestic product
Most of the American toothpicks, ac
cording to the New York Times, come
from Franklin County, in Maine, near
the forest home of the white birch, out
of which 95 per cent of the domestic
toothpicks are made. This wood Is soft
and pliable and of admirable resistance
for the purpose for which it is used.
Whole mills in Maine are devoted t
supplying the country with toothpicks,
and In the Industry Is to be found some
of the finest and most Intricate of ma
chinery. So tremendous Is the output
of these machines that in a brief sea
son, during the spring, enough tooth
picks can be made to supply the mar
kets of the entire country for the year
to come.
A f urffler Idea of the capacity -of the
machines may be had from the fact that
only 100 men are necessary to operate
and run all the mills In Franklin Coun
ty. Other mills of this kind are scat
tered throughout Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts and western New York,
but the real home of the toothpick is
Maine.
White birch Is not the only wood used
for the domestic toothpick; maple and
pcplar are employed as well, but birch
has the property of retaining its forest
odor and sweetness.
The felling of toothpick trees is only
incidental to the regular lumber work
of the Maine foresters. No . especial.
men are sent out to hunt up suitable
trees. But whenever the foreman of a
gang of woodsmen comes across a tree
especially adapted to toothpicks he or
ders it felled and laid aside. The
branches of the tree are then trimmed
md only the trunk itself is transported
to the mills. There the bark is skinned
and the naked trunk is run through a
machine which severs it into veneers.
Veneers" is the technical expression
for thin strips of wood no thicker than
a piece of blotting paper and no wider
than the length of a toothpick. Once
the trunk has been cut into these sheets
of wood, only one process remains to
turn out the toothpicks fit for packing
and shipping to market. The veneers
are fed into a second machineupplied
with sharp, rotary knives that whirl at
tremendous high speed, snipping the
veneers into toothpicks at the rate of
hundreds of thousands an hour.
It is only the so-called "fancy" tooth
pick that is not made in this country.
In Portugal, from where most of the
orangewood picks are Imported, the
sticks are sharpened by young girls
who, in return for turning out "picks"
sharp as needles and smooth as Ivory,
are paid 3 cents a day.
The Japanese toothpicks are made, of.
fine reeds, and are distinct from those
sent to this country by the Portuguese
manufacturers. A Japanese toothpick
is delicate and thin as tissue paper, and
nevertheless strong and pliable. The
Japanese toothpick-maker earns even
less than his Portuguese fellow crafts
man, his remuneration being a fraction
more than 2 cents a day. In short, a
thousand toothpicks may be bought In
Japan for as much as it coats to pack
and box 5,000 of American make.

Recently an American traveling in
Russia, who bad neglected to provide
himself with a passport, when he ar
rived at the borders of the Czar's do

a demand for his passport. For an in
stant the American was stumped, but.
so the story goes, he quickly rose to
the emergency. Diving into his inside
pocket, he pulled out his life insurance
policy and handed it to the Russian.
The latter gravely looked the paper
over, carefully scrutinizing the impos
ing-looking seal and the array of sig
natures. Then, with a satisfied air, he
handed back the paper, and the Amer

nation of this miracle: My hens are
such steady layers that one would no
sooner get off 'the nest .egg, having
deposited a fresh egg beside it, than
another would slip on, and in her turn
lay. Thus by dozens of different, moth
ers the solitary egg was hatched.
Though no one hen 'sat or 'clooked

warm, and -in due time there stepped
forth from it a lonely but vigorous

Some Queer Krrors Made by Children
in Titles or Books.
The children who make use of public
libraries usually know quite as well as
their elders what they want, although
they make occasional mistakes in ask
ing for it.
A very natural confusion of a mod
ern with an earlier classic was in the
mind of that small boy, for Instance,
who recently demanded "Golliwog's
Travels," and the librarian, who finally
Induced him to accept Gulliver's in
stead, was excusable for being momen
tarily puzzled.
Nor was the; little girl Immediately
served and satisfied who requested a
book by Hannah Sanderson,, of which
she could not remember the title. She
knew It was in the library, because
"Mamie Johnson had had it, and it
was lovely."
It was quite useless to inform her
that no such book appeared in the cata
logue; she merely thought the attend
ant very stupid, and proceeded, by way
of enlightening her, to describe the
contents. When she mentioned that
one story was about a frog princess,
the official mind was suddenly illum
ined, and she received the fairy tales
of Hans Andersen which was what
she wanted.
An incident which, as the narrator
. truly, say,, iwwild have delighted Dick
ens himself, occurred at the Jackson
Square branch of the New York Public
Library not long ago, when a little girl
needless to say a very little girl
artlessly inquired for "A Tale of Two
Kitties, by Charles Dickens." ; She was
not of an age for novels, nor for thrill
ing incidents of the French Revolution;
the librarian saw her error, kindly ex
plained that C in "Cities'' sounded like
S, and offered her a book of pussy-cat
stories suitable to her years. -
She was quite satisfied to accept It.
It was not Dickens shewanted, it was
"kitties." ' :
ENGLISH PLEASURE GARDENS.
MaR-nificent Heritage Maintained Ad
mirably Since the Tndor Period.
English gardens are distinguished
from those of continental . Europe, be
cause they have had a continuous ex
istence and history since the Tudor pe
riod. Italian gardens were at their
best late in the sixteenth century-and
early In the seventeenth century, says
the Architectural Record; but there
after they declined just as all Italian
ar declined. During the eighteenth
century the local and cardinal princes
maintained them; but they did not
build new ones; and during the nine
teenth century they have scarcely been
kept in repair.
The French garden reached its con
summate expression in Versailles late
in the seventeenth century. The crown
so completely overshadowed French
life at that time and during the eigh
teenth century that the royal gardens
are something more than royal: they
are also national. But since the rev
olution social and economic conltl.ns
have not favored in France .the laying
out of new and elaborate-gardens.
Such gardens are a luxury, to be en
joyed orly by' the. very rich, and
French weakh tends to be distributed
rather than concentrated. Moreover,
French people, while they love the
country and delight in flowers, are
so social that th? characteristic expres
sions of their modens life are urban.
They have made Paris something both
of a garden and a park, but individual
Frenchmen .have not indulged in elab
orate formal gardens for their person
al pleasure.
In England other conditions have
prevailed. Ever since Tudor time there
have been resident on the soil an ener
getic and efficient aristocracy and
landed gentry who were to a greater
or less extent the real leaders of the
country. They have for the most part
been prosperous and progressive, liv
ing on their estates acd adapting their
social habits to country life. Conse
quently throughout the whole of the
time old gardens have been altered !
and new ones built; new ideas and in
fluences have been constantly creeping
in; and at the same time the conserva
tive habits of England, the continuity
of its life and the comparative absence
of revolutionary 'and' military disturb
ance have all contributed to the main
tenance almost unimpaired of their
magnificent heritage of gardens. There
is no parallel In England to the partial
decay and ruin of the great Italian and
French gardens. Englishmen either .
maintain or improve, or they destroy.
It is true that their improvements are j
more destructive than the negligence
of Italians, but it Is at least the evi
dence of a fresh and living Interest.
HIS FIRST SUCCESS.
Famous Portrait Painter Tells of an
"Kcce Homo." " '
The first success1 of an -artist Is-al-ways
interesting. G. P. A. Healy, the
portrait painter, tells of his in his
"Reminiscences." A Miss Stuart, who j
had taken some interest in him, had
lent him a print of Guido Reni's "Ecce
Homo." He copied this on a canvas,
and then colored it as best he could,
without any help except as the study
of his own face afforded for the flesh
tints.
Such as it was, says Mr. Healy, I
carried the picture to a good-natured
bookseller, who consented to put it in
his shop window. I own that I often
found an excuse for passing along that
street, so as to give a rapid glance at
my work. - -. .
A Catholic priest from the country
happened to pass that way, and
stopped to look at the picture. After
hesitating, he went In and asked
whether the picture was for sale. My
friend the bookseller must have had a
twinkle in his eye as he answered that
doubtless the artist would consent to
part with his work for a consideration.
"I am not rich," said the priest. "All
I could scrape together would be ten
dollars." .
"I will speak to the artist and give
you an answer-to-morrow." And on
the morrow the priest carried away the
"Ecce Homo" and the "artist", pocket
ed the ten dollars. I do not know
which was the happier of the two; but
I rather fancy it was the boy painter.
Some thirty years later, as I stood
talking with some friends at the Cap
itol In Washington, I saw an old man
wearing a Roman collar. On hearing
my name pronounced by one of my
friends, he came up to me and said:
"Are you Mr.Healy, the painter?" I
bowed, -and he continued, with a smile:
"I believe that I am the possessor of
one of your earliest works, if not the
earliest. Do you remember . an 'Ecce
Homo' which you had placed in the
window of a Boston bookseller? A
country priest offered ten dollars for
it. I am the priest, and your picture
still hangs in my little church. I have
always felt that I had something to do
with your success in life."
I shook my first patron heartily by
the hand, and told him what joy his
ten dollars had given me.
A ROYAL ART STUDENT.
The Sultan of Morocco Became a Very
Tractable Pupil.
Mulal-Abd-el-Aziz, Sultan of Moroc
co, who often in the last year has
drawn the eyes of the world to his
monarchy in northern Africa, has
learned that some things European are
better than some things Moorish, and
has set out to acquire them. Amon,'
other things, he' learned that Euro
peans paint, and he sent for an artist
to teach his royal hand the art. The
artist was Arthur Schneider, who tells
the Century Magazine his experience
with bis lordly pupil. "
At the first audience with the Sul
tan he showed some of his sketches.
"Draw me a, man," . sald the Sultan.
Mr. Schneider drew a charcoal sketch
of an American Indian. The Sultan
took paper and pencil, which he had
never used before, and made a fair
copy. The artist complimented him.
"No, no," he replied; "but by and by,
God willing, I shall be able to do as
you do. Now I am only a beginner."
Rather a modest spirit for a , lord of
the earth.
The next day the Sultan showed the
drawing of the Indian besmudged and
streaked. "Why has thy friend gone?"
"It was done in charcoal and should
have been fixed." '
"The same charcoal we burn in the
fire-pot?"
"Very like It."
"Wondrous! Canst make a likeness
of one standing by thee?" :
"Yes, my lord." So Mr. Schneider
drew the Moorish doctor, sprayed the
drawing with "flxatif" and passed it
to thethrone, where the royal fingers
streaked it through but did not ' re
move the charcoal.
"Wonderful!" said Mulai-Abd-e:-Aziz.
' . : !
The Sultan soon learned to draw
fairly well. Some of his drawings are
reproduced in the magazine with Mr.
Schneider's article.

"I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor
for over thirty years. It has kept
my scalp free from dandruff and
has prevented my hair from turn- Q
ing gray." Mrs. r. A. feoule,
Billings, Mont.
There is this peculiar
thing about Ayer's Hair
Vigor it is a hair food,
not a dye. Your hair does
not suddenly turn black,
look dead and lifeless.
But gradually the old color
comes back, all the rich,
dark color it Used to have.
The hair stops falling, too.
