County Treasurer Separate ::ays of sunlig;-, J oat How It May Be Broken Up V tho Human in m Variety of Ways. Sunlight, which we cull white, la <*oiii|?om*m1 <?f light r..yn of different col ors- rr?L orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo und violet. It nm ho broken up Into lis constituent colors In various wa.\s. 1' H paxsed ttU'OUtfh M tl'iins parciH prism (like tho crystals that hang Ironi a chandelier), or if it fulls on a surface which has almost invlsl l?ly mi it 11 1 o irregularities (liko mother of pearl or tho win# of a butterfly), wo boo tho rays into which sunlight has boon separated. These phenome na are observed when light is not ab sorbed, says Popular Science Monthly. Hold n piece of red glass in front ot! flame and wo see only rod. Hays of ail other colors have boon absorbed. The natural colors of the objects wo moo uhout us, leaves, (lowers, hooks ami chairs, depend upon absorption. A green leuf throws back chiefly green rays; the rest are absorbed. Ho, the natural color of everything In nature Is the unahHorbcd residue from full white light. There is no such thing us color by lttjelf. A Mwurm of minute particles, scat tered In the puth of white light, will break it up, like the surface of moth er of pearl. If the particles happen to bo of Just the right size and the spaces between theia Just the right distance, they will absorb ruys of one color only and throw off tho rest. The atmo sphere Is filled with countless dust particles, nnd their size and spacing Is such that they scatter rays which we cull sky blue. Nearer tho hori zon, larger particles turn tho blue Into white; this happens abovo a dusty town and when mists or clouds hang above us. All that Is left of white sunlight, after passing through many miles of blue scattering air, uppours in the hues of sunset. The size and spacing of dust particles as well as tho angle at which sunlight strikes thorij determines the color of the sky. Lithography. The lirst successful example of the lithographic art was produced 120 years ago hy Aloys Senefelder, a Ba varian, who produced a piece of music printed by this process, fcjeuefelder was a composer, hut he was too poor to hear the cost of having his works published. lie then begun to experi ment with the hope of discovering some cheap method hy which he could do the printing himself. The litho graphic process was suggested to him hy his having made for his mother a memorandum of clothes to he sent to lilt' washerwoman, lie carelessly wrote tiits memorandum on a slab of stone, intending to copy it. As the stone luy before him he thought of trying the effect of applying printer's ink to the lines and thus take an impression. The experiment led to others, and in 171H1 Ncnefehter produced a piece of music from lines drawn in slight relief on u slab of stone. The inventor obtained a patent for his process in several of the < iernian slates, mid lube red to ex tend his art throughout Europe. Everywhere it lin t with favor, espe cially in I i. lie.. New York Mail. Tiber Towing Paths. The 1 1:1 \ igat ion oi. (he Tiber has been one of the lirst considerations of SSIgnor IJononii. minister of public works, who has initiated :i project .to re-establish the old towing paths, fol lowing upon the study of the question iiuhI)' by a commission nominated by his pred?'<-?-ssor in the ministry. Prior to 1MU vessels were towed up the Ti ber bv men or ???;? n as far as Polite Felice about 1 II kilometers from the mouth oi the river, then steam tugs were used for the purpose, running from tiie sea to Orte, but the towing path was still maintained for the un loading of good* along the route as well as for towing. With the develop ment of railways, however, the river transport fell into disuse, as both the bed of the Tiber and the towing path were no longer kept in proper condi tion. but now Hint works have been executed to facilitate the navigation of (he Tiber from the sea to Home and from Home to Orte, it has become a matter of necessity to reopen the tow ing paths. Chance for Good Work. Fathers and grandfathers may talk longingly "tlie good old days," but what lad of a generation ago was ever given a transcontinental trip as a re ward for excellence in agriculture? Yet mure than .'to California boys are to be so recompensed this autumn, and though the main purpose of the trip is to bring them into contact with almost every prominent type of agriculture in , the United States, it will naturally bring them in touch ivith much else worth seHng and knowing.

Hleaso. For two terms (Jovernor o.f South (Carolina, Mr. Hlease was defeated for the United States Senate In 191 1 and again last year when his faction pinned their chances on his whining the raee for (Jovernor. And now they are talking ahout Mr. Hleaso again being a candi date for (Jovernor III 191K. At least at a meeting of some of the leaders here the other night styling them selves the "central commit tee," It was given out that they called on tho for mer (Jovernor to make the raee. Hut that some of those who have heretofore been workers in the ranks or holders of lesser olllees think it is time for a new leader to come forward Is evidenced by the announcements of >Vllllain A. Stuckey, of Hishopvillc, for. (Jovernor, and of Thomas H. Peoples, the present attorney general for (Jov ernor. Hot h have made the positive announcement that they will bo In the race in 1918. Attorney (Jeueral Peoples has one Particular advantage which will ap peal to his faction, he has been a successful candidate. He was Uio only one of the Blease lenders in 191 I to be elected ami last year bad no op position, indicating that be has a strong personal following even among people who have never voted for Mr. H lease. He will enter upoti his third term next Tuesday and with an un broken record of victories before him u'.'cs into the campaign for (Jovernor especially appealing to those men iu li- faction who want to follow a candidate who has a chance of win ning. lu addition Mr. Peoples has made n good record as attorney gen eral and his administration is pro gressive. Ills recent organization of the engrossing department along the lines of oltieiency Is one of those marks of progresslveness that makes liiin a formidable candidate. It is 1 believed that while Mr. Hlease may appeal to that element of his faction | which look on him almost as a su perman those who are accustomed to I looking to results and want to win will prefer Mr. l'eeples, and "it's re | Milt* that count," as one political ob server of more than a quarter of a ; century said this morning when (lis* [ eussing the situation in the Hlease I rsimp, I Thai Mr. \V.

He is t >i i * ? cit' tin' or^am/.ers ami leaders of (In- m'imi'I farmers" allianee and has been dolim yeomanry work in (he ! ranks for Conner Oovernor Hlease. A j student as well as fanner Mr..

If he runs he <*an keep any one side from winning and the same can be said of others in his political camp Hut the cuiiniy uili elals and legislators who want to win next time in the Hlease faction will want a man who can win. In contrast to the situation on thej Hlease side of the House is that of ? tile faction now in |n?wer. Mr. Rob- I ert A. Cooper, of Ijaurens, is the only [ announced candidate for (Jofernor. and ) indications at this time |>olnt to hisj belli*,' the only one. Of course, new I conditions may arise between now and j the .next election which umy overturn the present outlook, hut uuleaa they t!o It appea rn that Mr. O/ooper will go into the race for Hovernor with practically the solid hacking of the majority faction of the voter* of South Carolina. He is a camixalgner of luaunetic pro|k>rtion? fnd easily makes friends, and Ixvddea the thou sands of jterHOnai follower* of his own he is favored by u majority of the followers of governor Manning. lie Is from (ho up-country and this fact will Im? on clement ?>f strength In Ills fa vor when lie goes Into the race. The introduction of au "air tight" prohibition l?lll In the House of l(c|> rcseututlves by Representatives \V. It. j Itlchey, ? ?f l.afircus, one of the Itlease leaders, caused some comment, hut Indications are that It will have little opportunity for favorable action. The general public wonder what Mr. Uleasc thinks of the hill for If he has hcen consistent on one thing it lias Ihhhj for loeal option and has never hecn accused of Ik^Iiik a prohibitionist. Mr. Itlchey is an ahle parliamentarian and will prove a strong champion for his "air tight" hill, and he undoubtedly will attract support from the extreme wing of the prohibitionists who are of the opposite political fa.'tli from himself on State politics. And then, loo. there Is a considerable element of prohibitionists among the itlease mi nority in the House. The jockeying for position among the various candidates for (Jovernor of the minority faction Is interesting to on lookers for some decidedly unexjiected developments may occur.
