But he did not care for that —
Brushed It off. with cere caressing.

Found the straw hat on the floor.

The Craws and the Snake.
"Strolling to Burma one day." says a
writer iu tbe Loodou Field. “1 came to
a ditch bridge, and about ten yards off
there was a mass of black soft mud
caused by buffaloes rolling. On tbe
bridge was a small brown snake about
two feet In length. This snake Is an
ordinary jungle lubabituut and Is very
venomous. Surrounding him were a
mob of some doseu crows. Whenever
the snake attempted to escape the
nearest bird would Jump In aud jerk It
back by tbe tail. Tbe crows generally
kept just out of the snake's reach, but
on three separate occasions the blrjs
were struck.
“Imaxillately on being bitten a crow
flew over to the wet mud and swal
lowed three or four mouthfuls with
out a pause It thru per<b<d up In a
tree and took uo further part In tin
fight. Tbe Incident elided iu the au:i!t>

The Rainbow,
When a ray of stiniiebf falls
raindrop It 1» refracted; then part
the light Is reflected from the Interna
surface and at-aln refracted on leavie
tbe drop. The white sunlight is u
only refracted when It eiiler» an
leaves the drop, but dispersion itl
takes place. The eye sees bright cli
cles of light for each kind of ll-ht. ant
since sunlight Is made up of different
kinds of homogeneous light we get a
series of circular nr«-« showing the
8|HH-trtini cok>rs. the red lielrg outside
and the other colors following In the
order of descentling wave leugth. The
whole constitutes a primary ralnlmw.
A secondary ls<w Is sometimes seen
ouiskle tbe first. This Is formed by
the light Itelng twice reflected Inside
the raindrops. The less refrangible
rays are on the Intier side. Rainbows
due to still more Internal n-flectlons
are too feeble to lie observed. It Is
possible to get a white rnlnlsiw If the
sun Is clouded or If there Is a mixture
of raindrops of very different sizes.
