I cannot soe it niakca me more Convinced she is full of humors How, after the bathing suit she wore, She can now object to bloomers. New York Sunday World. A SOAP BUBBLE. lh Relation of Its Varying Thinness to the Colors It Shows. The extreme thinness of the bubble is indeed wonderful. It is estimated that tho film in some places is only one thrce-milliouths of an inch in thickness. Probably few of us can conceive of such thinness. Let me express it in another way. The Old and the New Testament contain soma 8,0C0,000 of letters. Now one three-millionth is such a part of an inch as the first letter of the Bible is a part of the sum of all of 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-million ths of an inch; where it is blue, eighty one-millionths of an inch, and at a point where lemon yellow is prom inent about twenty one-millionths of an inch. Perhaps you wonder why the col ors change from one part of the soap bubble to another. This is because the film of the soap bubble evaporates and grows thinner, but unequally so at dif ferent 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 gd to know the source of the beautiful colors. Every one is de lighted with them, even if not interest ed by the explanation of their origin. We may say that they come from the light. Light gives color to all objects, but not exactly as it does to the soap bubble. White light from the sun can be broken into the seven colors which we have seen in the rainbow. 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 pendant from a hanging lamp. When the light reaches the sur face of the soap bubble, a part is reflect ed from it, and we see images on its surface as if it were a curved mirror. Another portion of the light, however, enters the film and is separated so that parts of the seven colors are thrown into the bubble, and we can see them at various portions of the opposite surface. Another part of the light, after being broken by tho film, is reflected by its inner surface back to our eyes, so that we see colors at tho point where the light enters. Jacob F. Bucher in St. Nicholas. Quite a Simple Matter. Jilkins is the factotum of an artist who has made some noise in the world and is quite as important a personage, in his own estimation, as his master. One day a lady called on the artist in the absence of the latter and was re ceived by Jilkins. "Dear me," she cried, glancing first at an incomplete picture and then at Jilkins, "I declare it is very much like you!" "It is me," said Jilkins, with a su perior air. "I sits for all his old men. That's what he's specially good at." "You must be a very useful person to your employer, " observed the visitor. "So you think that Mr. Blank, R. A., is especially good at old men?" "Yes. Cos why? Cos he's got nothing to dol I order his frames, wash his brushes, set his palettes, mix his colors and sit there for him to look at. How can he help being good? He's got noth ing to do but shove the paint on!" Strand Magazine. Cotton, like every other crop, needs nourishment. A fertilizer containing nitro gen, phosphoric acid, and not less than 3 of actual Potash, will increase the crop and im prove the land. Our books tell all about the Bubiect.

To make The Ladies1 Home Journal for 1808 "tl.e best of all the years ; the most cheerful and helpful magazine that a woman can possibly have in her home," is the purpose of its editors. Its literary features will be strengthened, and pic torially it will be more attractive and ar tistic than ever. A notable feature, "The Inner Ex periences of a Cabinet Member's Wife,' a series of lettei-9 from the wrife of a cab inet member to her sister, will, it is said, reveal some startling and graphic pen pictures of Washington social and official life. The biographies of President Mc Kinley, Mrs. Cleveland, Mark Twain, Thomas A. Edison, and Joseph Jefferson will be presented in a novel way by a series of anecdotes. Bev. John Watson, D. 1). ("Ian Maclaren"), will contribute a series of articles on matters close to the interest of every man and woman ; Edward W. Bok will have a special page for young men, in addition to his usual editorial discussions; Lillian Bell will continue her blight crisp letters from European capitals; Mrs. Burton Harrison will describe society at the beginning of the centuiy, and ex-President Harrison is to write on "The Flag in the Home." Two fiction issues, in all over thirty short stories, are promised during the year. The stories will be by Mark Twain, F. Marion Crawford, Hamlin Garland, Mary E. Wilkins, Julia Ma gruder, Clara Morris. Mrs. A. I). T. Whitney and other well-known authors.

Borer, will continue to write exclusively for the Journal. Special articles for children young and middle grown on needlework, fashions, home entertainments, church work, etc., are all promised. This is but a passing glance at the 1898 Ladies' Home Journal, which is aimed to meet the literary and practical demands of every member of the household.
