It It Caused by the Oxygen In the Air, 8ays a Scientist. Professor Spring of the University of Liege has a theory of bla own regard ing the blue of the sky. Scientists bnve tried to explain the blue of the sky ever since the days of Leonardo da Vinci and Sir Isaac New ton. Some have held that It was due to the polarization of the solar light, while others bare held that the blue ness is due to the reflection, or, rather, the vibration, upon the minute drops of water which the atmosphere holds in suspension or upon tbe matter in the atmosphere, according to Tyndall. Professor Spring has rejected all these theories, denying the "dust theo ry" altogether. lie holds with Lord Raylelgh that Instead of tbe dust in creasing tbe blueness It diminishes it greatly. And according to Professor Sin-lug, all of the appearances of blue tints in the atmosphere are explicable when we consider liquid oxygen. "Liquid air" Is known to be decidedly blue In color, so tbe contention that blueness is due to the oxygen in tbe air seems to be substantiated. If condensed and liquid air are blue in color It Is most probable, that tbe blueness of tbe sky is due to tbe oxy gen in it New York World. INGENUITY IN SUICIDE. This Parisian Planned a Most Dra matio Taking Off. Some years ago, when there was an epidemic of dramatic suicides In Paris, a man who bad visited the French capital told of an extraordinary sui cide be bad beard of In that gay city. "He was a Frenchman, who was nothing if not original," said tbe teller of tbe tale, "and even when be grew despondent be planned his death in a most original fashion. He locked tbe door of bis room in tbe Rue Nlfot and, removing the weights of the window cord, fastened thera to the window It self, lie added to the weight of tbe window by attaching six flatlrons. On tho sill be adjusted a large triangular bread knife, such as. Is used by chefs, and made ready a small balloon, caps bio of lifting fifty pounds. "Tbe ingenious Frenchman then put his head out of the window after at taching the balloon to bis neck and by releasing the clamp that held the win dow cut his bead off completely with the improvised guillotine. The decnp itated body was discovered several days later, but It was not until tho balloon and tho bead were found a week later in tbe field of a peasant, eighteen miles from- Paris, that tbe method of suicide was really known." Cornish Humor. The magistrate at tho Llskeard po lice court might well bave excused the laughter which greeted the remark of a police witness only a short time ago who said with all seriousness: "He was drunk, your honor, and couldn't Rtnnd. I told him to go away, and as ho wouldn't I locked biin up." Tho laugh in onother court wos against the solicitor who severely ask til, "Were you present when you heard tills?" Mixed metaphors nro not a pocullar nor indeed a common falling of the Cornlshnian, but a certain eloquent town councilor quite recently got en tangled when in the course of a pro truded debate on tbe momentous sub J' t of tbe local dust bins ho declared Imlignantly, "It Is time we put our Toot down with a loud voice." English I lustra tod Magazine. Buried Uptlde Down. If Major Lnbelllero of Dorking was buried on the top of Dox bill, bead downward, in 1800, be probably got tbe Idea from Mr. Hall of Leltb Hill place, who la 1707 built tbe tower on the neighboring Lelth hill and was burled there six years later. The usual Lelth bill story, as recorded by one writer, is that the tower "marks tbe spot where on eccentric farmer of the neighborhood was burled on horse back upside down, so that when the world was turned, as ho believed It then soon would be, topsy turvey, he might at last come up In tbe right po sition." The tradition might easily bo transferred from ono bill to Its neigh bor. There soems no doubt, however, that Mr. nail was burled on the sum mit of Lelth hill. London Chronicle.

Do We Dodge Death? Can we mortals always be trusted to do tbe right thing? Tbe fear of death is general. Life Is sacrificed every hour because tbe rules of health are not obeyed. Death is the one great monster of dread and from whom all flee. Yet how many safeguard their living In such a way as to avert his coming? The rules of health are vlo loted because of the Immunity we feel, but finally tbe penalty must be paid, No argument is needed to enforce the lesson. Hvprybody knows It The rules of right living are clear, explicit. Vice, intemperance, wrong living, overeat Ing as well as overdrinking, continue to pay their tribute to the undertaker and tbe graveyard. Leslie's. Just Like a Man.
