WATCHING FOR THE KING
By J.
esk - tt - w - 's - e'
We have recently migrated from
London to the seaside. It Is a way
families have nowadays. 'Father still
runs up to town by the quick morning
train, but the rest of us enjoy our
selves day by day near and on the
sea, developing contours and gaining
complexions.
Our house is at the end of a new
row which runs at right angles to th'j
cliff and sea. It is described as an
"artistic villa" by a largo board which
much offends our sense of the artistic.
The chief claim of the villa to the de
scriptive adjective lies In the highly
ornamental nature of the paintings
Just inside ths little porch, whose
walls show forth chrysanthemums
and roses of more than the orthodox
flower-show size and coloring.
We also possess balconies both
' front and back of the house, so that
wo can sit In the sun or shade, to
windward or leeward, and still have
the beauty of the ever - changing
waves before our eyes. Any exag
gerated desl-5 for rusticity may be sat
isfied by the sight of nn iinplowed
field which stretches'away In front of
oiTTTCad, and" by the wild and barren
tract of land which lies In our rear.
Moreover, the roads north, south,
cast and west of our new home are
not In any way to be distinguished'
".from fields which have been recently
plowed, except that they are bor
dered by a curb, In a more or less
(slanting position, which slices oft a
strip of clayey sidewalk,
f Even this has Its charm; wo feel
that we did not leave London to de
scend to tho commonplace of asphalt
pavements and roads on which one
can walk with ease. When a few
days' rain have done their best for us,
and we are practically cut off from
kirk and market, we Imagine that
we know something of the joys of liv
ing In Ilia Wild West of early ad
venturous dreams.
Yes, on the whole, we very much
enjoy our new home. The air is brac
ing, the sea glorious; for It is really
cea, although people may talk of the
muddy Thames. The "low, bare flats
at ebb-tide" have their charm, espe
cially when the fishing boats are lying
prone and helpless In the rays of the
setting sun.
Of course, we expect Improvements
In time. The plowed and iinplowed
fields will disappear; and, doubtless,
all the roads will become patterns of
what roads, should be, like the long
stretch of model walk down by the
promenade, where children skate on
roller skates all day long. Already
the pitch-darkness of our surround'
lugs is about tc be remedied by gas
lamps for which preparatory digging
is taking place. To this fact we owe
our introduction to "Rosy Tom.'
That is our name for him. He Is
the watchman on duty during the
night near the end of our road, where
preliminary measures are being taken
for the laying down of the pipes. Tom
goes to bis shelter about four In the
afternoon, and remains on duty till
about seven the next morning. The
cold of the wintry nights arouses
one's sympathy for him, and we con
vey jugs of soup to him In the even
ings, and occasionally a cup of tea
In the afternoon.
It was his jolly, hale and hearty
appearance as he sat in his box that
gained for him the appellation of
"Rosy Tom." We did not realize how
feeble he was till one afternoon when
be called. There was a knock at the
door, and a tremulous voice was
heard in explanatory renfarks: "You
may remember, Miss, that I brought
back a jug yesterday, but there

"There's your old man, Nell," I
whispered to my lister; "go and see
what he want. He is talking a lot to
Mary at the door. It's something
about a cup."
"Ye see, ma'am," he continued,
apologetically, as Nell came into
: sight, "I be very sorry, but it slipped

"Oh! you shouldn't, really!" sail
Nell, In distress. "The cnp did not

"Well, you see, ma'am, I were more
comfortabler In Liy mind for gettin'

It was at this moment that Nell
and I first discovered how shaky our
old friend was.
"Do sit down," said Nell; "the
kettle Is boiling. Yon shall have n
cup of tea In one minute."
"Thank you, ma'am, thank you
kindly. I never do say 'no' to a cup
o' tea."
The sound of conversation attracted
grandma, who appeared In the hall
with her kindly old face aglow with
interest.
You are the old watchman? I've
heard of yon from my granddaugh
ters. It must be terribly cold for you
at nights terribly cold! We old
folks feel It so much. We get on

down her calm, though wrinkled
cheek. "WeU. God bless you, my
friend, and grant that we may both
be kept watching and waiting for our

"Amen, and thank you kindly,"
said Rosy Tom, as he handed back his
cup. "I ain't broke it this time." he
continued, with a smile. "It ain't
so bitter cold in 'ere. But I must be
off. It's time I was on dooty." With
a warm "God bless you, ma'am," to
grandma, and a salute to Nell and me,
he tottered down the path to his little
shelter.
"He has a beautiful face," said
Nell. "I always think that the sunset
on tne sea ana mat aear oia man s
face are the two most lovely sights
to be seen down here."
I laughed. "You have a way of
finding beautiful faces wherever you
go. Still, even I think be is a delight
ful specimen. I'm glad It seems to be
a little warmer. I cannot bear to
think of him out all these deadly cold
nights."
The next morning there was a little
stir of excitement in the air.
"Heer'd about the watchman?" the
milkman asked Mary, when be arrived
about seven o'clock.
"No; what about him?" she queried
with Interest.
"Dead!" was the unexpected an

Nell went to see and comfort the

gladly, looking from the motionless

The Soap Bubble
By WILLIAM S.
How many of our young people
flave spent hours over those delicately
colored wonders, the soap bubbles.
Many of us still believe, as we be
lieved when children, that no gem
surpasses a soap bubble in beauty;
and one cannot help. feeling really
sorry when each exquisite plaything
bursts.
Sir Isaac Newton, who sought out
the secret that a falling apple hint
ed, ald of the soap bubble that a
man or child who could blow one
that would last would confer a great
benefit upon mankind. You may
wonder at this saying, but the truth
of it will soon be apparent.
Perhaps some of you do not know
how to make a good soap bubble mix
ture, so I give you the directions for
preparing one. '
Put Into a pint bottle two ounces
of best white Castile soap, cut into
thin shavings, and fill the bottle with
cold water which has been first boiled
and then left to cool. Shake well to
gether, and allow the bottle to stand
until the upper part of the solution
Is clear. Decant now of this clear
solution two parts, and add one part
of glycerin, and you have a soap bub
ble mixture very much like one sug
gested by a professor of Harvard Col
lege.
Some of you may wonder why bub
bles cannot, be blown from water
alone. It is because the particles do
not possess sufficient attraction for
one another to form a nlm. Mys
teriously, the soap increases this at
traction, even if the quantity be as
small as 100th part of the solution.
We add the glycerin to make the film
more gorgeous by bringing about a
greater play of colors. Bear In mind
that a carefully prepared mixture
will save you much disappointment.
The solution now being at hand.
we use the ordinary clay tobacco pipe
n blowing. Always use a new one,
for one In which tobacco has been
smoked Is poisoned. With a little
practice, and r moderate amount of
patience, -bubbles measuring eight or
ten Inches In diameter ma be pro
duced, nnd even larger ones if the
ungs be refilled. The pipe, of
conrse, should be held steadily, and
the breath forced Into the bubbles
evenly.
In order to watch a bubble care
fully we may wish to support it in
some way. A common table goblet
will make a good stand if its edge is
first dipped into melted paraffin, or
well soaped, which prevent it tram
cutting Into the film.
All bubbles and drops are round.
All liquids, when free to act, tend to
take on the spherical form. So It is
with milk when It falls upon a but
tered plate, a raindrop when It de
scends, or the dew that glistens so
beautifully in the morning sun. In
each case the drop is composed of
tiny particles that are equally attract
ed by a central particle, and as they
cling" regularly around It give the
drop a round shape. Your school
books have told yott that this attrac
tion that causes all things to try to
come together is gravitation.
In the case of the soap bubbles the
case Is reversed. The particles of
air within press with equal force out
ward upon the film in all directions,
producing the curved surface and
making a hollow sphers. If the room

BIRGE, M. D.
Is free from drafts, the bubble wi..
be'a perfect one, and will teach us
the principles that underlie the mak
ing of a sphere. This perfect form,
however, is seen only when the bub
ble floats. When resting upon the
goblet, it appear; very much like an
orange that Is, an oblate spheroid,
the true shape of the earth.
Putting it into the simplest lan
guage, the form of a bubble is due
to the holding together of the soap
solution, to the outward pushing of
the air Within and the resistance of
the film. : '
It the air in the room is moderately
cool the bubble will float like a tiny
balloon. The mouth and lungs at all
times having a temperature of nearly
100 degrees, the air blown into the
toy bubbles Is warmer and conse
quently lighter than the air which
surrounds them; therefore they float,
and it is their lightness and grace that,
with their beauty, give them such a
charm. As soon as the air within the
bubble cools It slowly sinks till It
reaches the floor, and the jar of Its
contact usually ruptures the film.
The extreme thinness of the bubble
Is indeed wonderful. It is estimated
that the film in some places is only
one 3,000,000th of an inch in thick
ness. Probably few of us can con
ceive of such thinness. Let mo ex
press It In another way. The Old and
New Testament contain some 3,000,
000 letters. Now one 3, 000,000th is
such a part ot an inch as the first let
ter of the Bible Is a part of the sum
of all its letters.
The bubble, however, Is not of
equal thickness at all points, and It Is
for this reason that It has the various
colors. For instance, wherever the
film is orange red it measures about
three l,000,000ths of an inch, and at
a point where lemon yellow is prom
inent -about twenty l,000,000ths of
an inch. . Perhaps you wonder why
the colors change from one part ot
the soap bubble to another. This Is
because the film of the soap bubb'e
evaporates and grows thinner, but
unequally so at different portions. A
greenish blue with a pale rose red
spot near It indicates an extreme
thinness, and at such a point the film
is ready to give way at the least Jar.
You will be glad1 to know the source
of the beautiful colors. Every one Is
delighted with them, even If not In
terested by the explanation of their
origin. We may say that they come
from the light. Light gives color to
all objects, but not exactly 83- It does
to the soap bubble. White light from
the sun can be broken into the seven
colors which we have seen In the rain
bow. In that Instance the raindrops
separate it into its parts. A glass
prism will do the same, as you may
prove by looking through a glass pen
dant from a hanging lamp.
When the light reaches the surface
of the soap bubble a part Is reflected
from it, and we see images on its sur
face as if it were a curved mirror.
Another portion of the light, how
ever, enters the film and Is separated
so that a part ot the seven colors are
thrown Into the bubble, and we ean
see them at various portions of the
opposite surface. Another part of
the light, after being broken by the
film, Is reflected by its inner surtace
back to our eyes, so that we see col
ors at the point where the light en

such artificial protection, though the
practice Is more universal than it
