MOISTURE AND DUST
Why This Rain Combination in the Air
Shows a Red Sun
An olil weather proverb runs, "A
| red sun has water in his eye," and the
condition which gave rise to it is ex-
I plained by Professor W. J. Humphreys,
of the United States Weather Bureau,
: in a discussion ot' some useful weather
I proverbs.
The condition that most favors a red
I sun is a great quantity ot>'dust—es
pecially smoke particles—in a damp
I atmosphere. Smoke alone in sufficient
i quantity will produce this effect, but
lit is intensified by the presence of
moisture.
I The blue and other short wave
I length colora of sunlight are both scat
] tered and absorbed to a greater extent
! by a given amount of dust or other sub
stance, such as water vapor, than is
the red, and this effect becomes more
pronounced as the particles coalesce.
Hence when the atmosphere is heav
ily charged with dust particles that
have become moisture laden we see the
sun as a fiery hall.
It has been known thnt this dust has
much to do with rainfall, since it was
proved by the physicist Aitken years
ago that cloud particle* and, therefore,
rain will not under ordinary conditions
form in a perfectly dust free atmos
phere, but will readily form about dust
motes of any kind in an atmosphere
that is sufficiently damp. A red sun,
therefore, commonly indicates the
presence of both of the essential rain
elements—that is, dust and moisture.

TRAINED FOR THE GAME
He Played His Part Well and Won
When His Chance Came
Senator Harry Lane, who is also an
-M. I)., was once superintendent of the
Oregon State insane asylum. One day
he was telling a group of his colleagues
some qf his experiences while there. He
said when he took the job he ordered
the walls around the institution toru
down, arguing that if any real lunatics
j escaped they would. bo detected and
I returned, but that if any escaped who
| could not be detected they did not
I belong there anyway.
"A patient came along one day,"
jhe said, "and began a performance
that was new to all of us. The inmates
I of the asylum were turned out on the
'big lawn each morning for exercise.
Well, the man I was talking about im
i mediately began to run on a dog trot
1 from one end of the building to the
other. The patients having specialties
j of their own didn't notice him.
I "Back and forth he went, not only
jon the first morning, but on every
j morning for months and months. He
wore a path along the side of the asy
| lum. We couldn't help but admire his
| perseverance. He certainly stuck to
! his job. But one day Mr. Man, the
| moment he was let out, wriggled away
I from the crowd and started across the
| fields. Guards followed in pursuit.
I Trained for months, and that had been
| his game all along, he rapidly made
j monkeys of the guards. He'd let them
[ get almost within reaching distance and
t>heu he would sprint. So he vanished,
and we never heard of him again."-
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The Rack, Pace and Amble
The rack is e. gait of the horse be
| tween a trot and a gallop or canter,
| in which the fore feet move as in a
| slow gallop, while the hind feet move
]as in a trot or pace. It is usually an
1 artificial gait, but is sometimes hered
itary or natural. There is much con
fusion of terms in respect to this gait,
due to the fact thp.t the gait itself is
somewhat varied, according as tJhe
racker carries the one or the other fore
foot foremost in the galloping motion
of the fore feet; tdiat many confound
the rack with the pace, the words
often being used synonymously, and
: that many have mistaken the use of tho
i words '' pace'' and " amble,'' There is
abundant evidence that tho American
pace of to-day is the amble of Euro
peans of the last century and earlier.
The motion of the hind feet is the
I same in the trot, the pace and the rack,
j In the trot the diagonal hind and fore
feet move nearly simultaneously. In
the pace 01 amble the hind .and fore
feet of the same side move nearly si
multaneously.—Boston Globe.
"Underneath the Paint''
As the title indicates, this three
i )iart Broadway Star feature is a most
engrossing ami analytical irtsight into
the lives of those who impersonate
characters different fromi their own. Tt
is so intensely dramatic it will not
fail to convince those who view its
showing at the Photoplay to-day that
hearts are sometimes breaking beneath
the care-free smiles they dissimulate.
Oharfes Chaplin, the back bone of the
formeT Keystone comedies, is now ap
pearing in Ket&nay features. His first
picture, "His New Job," will be shown
at this theatre to-morrow. Aliee Joyce,
most beautiful photoplay artist, will ap
pear in the sensational two-reeiler,
"Tho Swinilller." We aßk our patrons
to try and get a glimpse of little
"Charlie," the mimic of the real
Charles Chaplin, in frr>nt of the theatre
all day Saturjay.—Adv. *

CLEARANCE FIGURES DROP
European War Caused Decline During
January
Harrisburg bauks handled a total
sum of $6,90i1,'2'31.48 during the month
of January, according to the report of
Al. K. Thomas, secretary of the Harris
burg Clearing House Association. This
sum is a decrease of $257,877.04 from
the amount handled during December
and 45650,34 7.48 Jess than January of
Mr. Thomas states that the decrease
this year is largely due to the European
war, but according to the present out
look it would be mado up in tho near
future, he asserts.
DIAMONDS IN SUGAR
We Know Tliey Are There Becaus Sci
ence Has Extracted Them
Although at first thought the state
ment seems incredible, it is perfectly
true that a lump of sugar may be con
verted info diamonds.
Not all the substance of the sugar,
of course, will enter into tho comfrosi
tion of the diamond, but only tho car
bon that it contains. Sugar consists of
carbon united with oxygen ad bvdro
gen.
It is an easy mattor to separate out
the carbon, and in certain experiments
tor the production of diamonds this su
gar carbon has been employed.
The diamonds so produced were, of
course, very small and destitute of
commercial value, hut still they were
real diamonds, and the chemical re
sult achieved would be no greater in
trinsically if they were as big as tho
Cullinan.
Scientists have often expressed the
hope that an improvement in the pro
cess of manufacturing diamonds mdy bo
effected whereby the necessity of dis
solving the carbon in molten "iron may
be dispensed with, and the requireil
combination of great pressure with
great heat may be brought about by
some such operations as squeezing the
carbon between rcdhot metal plates.—

Got In Her Answer
"Maria," said Mr. Jollyboy very
solemnly, thinking to take a rise out of
the wife of his bosom, "I heard of a
dreadful operation which was
taken by a girl. She seemed in danger
of losing her sight, and the clever oph
thalmic surgeon who operated on her
found —*"
"Yes!" Breathlessly interposed Mrs.
Jolly boy. "Found whatt"
"That the poor girl had a young
man in her eye!" rejoined hubby, with
a chuckle.
Silence reigned supreme for the
space of five minutes, at. the end of
which time Mrs. Jollyboy said quietly:
"Well, of course, it would all de
pend on what kind of young man it.
was, ns there are many men she would
have been able to see through." And,
with a scren» smile, Mrs. J. resumed
her knitting.—'London Express.
Didn't Startle Rossctti
Among authors therp are some who
take but the slightest interest in so
cial or political questions. So far as
public questions are concerned they
arc hardly better informed than Dante
Gabriel Hossetti. During the French
revolution one of his friends burst into
Rosscttis studio with the incredible
news, " Louis Philippe has lauded in
England." "Has he?" said Rossetti
calmly. "What has he come for?"
