IT They Did They Would Probably De stroy Life at It Exists onJOur Planet. Daylight and Sunlight Differ Almost as Much as Do Wine and Water. "As clear as dnyllght" expresses In ordinary language a maximum of plain ness nnd obviousness. Nevertheless dnyllfiht Is one or the most complicat ed and capriciously variable of all nat ural phenomena. Almost everybody you meet will tell yon that daylight and sunlight nre dif ferent names for the same thing. They think thev know that much of astron omy anyway.- Hut astronomy does not tcaeh anything of the kind. Astronomy simply tells us that the sun is the pri mary cause or source of daylight, but It does not say that daylight and sun light are Identical. Jit fact, they dif fer almost as much as do water and wine. But the degree of difference varies. Daylight Is a mlxturu of two kinds of light, and Its quality is continually changing, as everybody who has ever liad nnythlng to do with photography knows. The proportions of the two kinds of light that make daylight are not tho same from hour to hour and hardly from minute to minute. In clear weather, under an open sky, with tho sun high In the heavens, day. light, says Professor Nichols of Cor nell, Is almost entirely sunlight. A white surface exposed to an hnobscur cd sky receives directly from the sun 85 per cent of the light that Illuminates it and only Id per cent from other parts of the sky dome. This other part of the Illumination Is called skylight, and It consists of light, nearly all of which came orig inally from the sun. but which has been changed In quality 'by reflection from the earth, from the clouds and from dust and vapor In the air. Many of the rays that characterized the orig inal sunlight have been absorbed by tho retlectlng substances, so that what remains is no longer the same thing as1 before. On a completely overcast day thero is no Hiiullght, properly so called, but ouly skylight. Whether the sky is overcast or not tho Intensity of day light varies with tho hour of the day and with the season. This is duo to differences in tho elevation of the sun. Tbcso variations in tho intensity of daylight are surprisingly great. Tho intensity Is on tho nverago ten times as groat in midsummer as In midwin ter, but this average comes far from expressing the utmost difference that can exist, for investigation has shown that between tho clearest summer day and tho darkest day of winter tho ra tio of the intensity of daylight may be as great as 300 to 1. Besides, the quality of daylight Is continually changing on account of tho variations In tho relative amounts of tho different rays of tho spectrum that aro mingled In It Tho spectrum of light is n gamut of vibrations, nnd the result of tho selective action exercised by tho substances and vapors, from which the light has been rellected and through which It has passed Is to pro duce variations of color and of intensi ty of color, ns well as of tho quantity of invisible radiations present, nnd theso variations rire not the less real and Important becauso the eye Is not always fully nwaro of them. As to pure sunlight, we never see It on the earth. Tho light that arrives to us from tho sun lias neither tho color nor the Intensity that it possesses be fore it enters the atmosphere. Tho ultraviolet raj'B especially are almost completely screened off by the atmos phere, and If they reached us In their full force it Is probable that life as now organized on this planet Avould be destroyed by them. Every different world has Us own daylight, although all may he Illumi nated by the same sun. Not ouly does relative distance affect the intensity of duyllgty on different planets, but tho constitution of their various atmos pheres has an equally great effect Venus has a daylight twice as intense as ours; Mars one-half as Intense. On Jnptter the lutensify is 1-25 of that on the earth; on Saturn. 1-00; on Nep tune, J-tXX). But each of these planets has an at mosphere peculiar to Itself, and thus the differences of daylight upon them are made still more remarkable. This Is one of tho (list things to bo taken Into account hi all singulations about Use' habltablllty of those other worlds. Garrett 1'. Serving In Spokane 8pol.es-tnau-Itevlew. A Wonderful Word.

There's Money In tho Street Scrapings of an African Town. Travelers declare. - says Harper's Weekly, that at Axim, on the Gold Coast of Africa, gold may actually be picked up In the streets. When one visitor, an Englishman, took the state ment as a mere figure of speech his host Immediately bade a woman serv nnt go out into tho main street, gather a bucketful of road scrapings and work it for gold dust. In ten minutes tho servnnt returned with twogalvanIzed Iron buckets, one tilled with road scrapings and the oth er with water. Shu also brought three or four wooden platters, varying In size from a large plate to n saucer. Removing , several handfuls of the road scrapings and placing them In the large platter, the woman picked out nnd threw aside the large stones, peb bles nnd bits of stick and thou mois tened the remainder with wnter from the other bucket This enabled her to remove smaller refuse. The residuum she put Into the next smaller platter, and she repeated tho process until there ivas.a quantity of sand and gravel ready Tor treatment This she sprinkled freely with water and by a deft circular movement of the platter brought the small gravel to the outside, wheru ft could be thrust over tho edge. When she had repeated this operation three or four times she treated the material, which now looked uloro like mud than anything else, in a still smaljer platter. At last. In the smallest platter of all. sho had the bucketful of sweepings re duced to n handful or two of black sand. This she carefully washed and sifted. At last with a dexterous twist she brought tho sand into a crescent, the outer edge of which showed a thin rim of yellow. It was unmistakably gold dust Tho wholo operation had taken half an hour, nnd It had pro duced nbonl a shilling's worth of gold. PIGS AND FIGURES. Porkers From the Standpoint of All Around Mathematics. Tho cducnted pig of the old tinio sideshow, which gnfc-ely read figures on a blackboard, was only a typo of a class. Ills modern prototype is quite his equal In devotion to tho exact sci ence. By both instinct and fate ho Is a mathematical animal. Subjectively and objectively he is great on llgures. They are dealt out to him. nnd ho deals in them himself. He desires his Bquare meals to be regulated dally by the rule of three. In addition, ho deals with his owner's Indebtedness. Ho Is able to reduce a mortgage to fractions with amazing rapidity. In measuring the available contents of a pail of slop bit Is a lightning calculator. As n multiplier tho pig hasno equal, counting on six to the Utter nnd two litters hi tho year. At this rate, bar ring accidents, tho sow's progeny will amount to more than 1.000 In four years. A week old pig is up In geom etry, finding tho way home along the hypotenuse short cut An old sow's quickness in boxing tho compass in a potato patch Is amazing. And when It comes to a trougliful of sklnunllk she Is the least common divisor; sho wants It nil herself. Objectively the porker flnds himself stacked about with a bewildering ar ray of figures his gaifis every djy on pasture, his gains every da yon grain., his gains to the pound of grirfn. his gains on pasture plus a dally ration, hi gains on vegetables nnd roots theso nnd a hundred other tabulations surround him. Profit or loss, so far as tbo pig is concerned, is almost purely a matter of feeds and feeding, and theso nro in thelrturn matters of al most pure mathematical measure ments; henco have resulted tho long listed calculations available to the farmer.
