RED AND BLUE MAKE BLACK But That Result Depends Upon the Colors Being Perfect We are told by the textbooks on' light that red glass is red because it absorbs all the other ravs of the spec-i truni and transmits only the red: that blue glass absorbs all except the b.uo, and so with glass of every other color. The tact that red glass superimposed! upon blue glass transmits violet light seems in contradiction of this teaching, according to which the red glass would absorb all the blue and green light and transmit nothing but red to the blue, which in turn, would absorb al! the 1 red. The reason for the violet light is that] no red glass made is of sufficiently pure color to absorb all the blue and green waves and no blue glass is suf-! ficientl.v pure to absorb all the red and orange rays. So the red transmits a certain amount of the blue and green j and the blue transmits a certain 1 amount of the red and orange. Knough of the blue rays come through the red; glass and enough of the red rays through the blue glass to make a nice' violet or purple when the glasses are superimposed. | The Scientific American describes a | simple experiment by which you mar I prove the truth of the theorv. Dis- I solve red aniline in amy! alcohol and ! copper chloride in dilute hydrochloric acid. The one will j»ive you a trans parent red liquid thai will actually ab | sorb all the ravs but rlie re I: the "other "ill give you 11 transparent greenish j blue liquid that will absorb all the red and orange rays. If you mix the two liquids and shake thorn up thev will j turn black. But they will not' stay J mixed and will quickly separate agaiu. Thoughtful Dog 1 They were swapping dog stories.

"To-day" deals with the. congenital of mankind. IJOVC, passion, fear, hatred, self-sacrifice and | loyalty are all blended in an endeavor j | to portray a woman's frailty and man's l power. A young wife's lust for gaudy I tinsel and a mad desire to gratify her | I social ambitions tempt her to betray 1 i the trust reposed in her by an unfor-1 j giving husband.

Its story revolves about a flirtatious young bride, her un necessarily jealous husband, an impres sionable tenor and his shrew wife, a number ot misguided friends who jump at wrong conclusions and a lackadaisi cal serving maid with a propensity for making mistakes. The lines are witty without coarseness and the situations laughable without in any way tran scending the bounds of' propriety.
