LIGHT REFLECTION. Tha Reason Why Foam Always Appears White In Color. When Nvater or liquid of any color is violently evirated small bubbles of air are mlxjed up with it. and thus foam is formed, and Its whiteness is due to the fact that when Hunt passes from one medium to another of a different refractive index it is always reflected, ami this reflection may be so often repented as to render the mixture impervious to lisht. It is. then, this frequency of the reflections of the limiting surfaces of air and vrater that renders foam opnquo, and ns e:uh particle reflects liht in ull directions so much light i". reflected that the mixture appears white. To a similar cause is due the white ness of transparent bodies when crushed to powder. The separate particles transmit light freely, but the reflections at their surfaces are so numerous that the resulting effect Is white. Thus glass when crushed is a white powder and is opaque, but when it is put undir water it once more becomes transparent, because the water fills up the interstices between the particles and the reflections are destroyed. Salt and snow are also common examples of this condition.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE The Chautauqua is upon us. And notwithstanding the arguments pro and con. for and against, it does make the Glen a messy place tor the general public In instance on Thursday, over -i week before the affair begins, a pedestrian ran afoul an unseen chain stretched between two hitching posts. Moie or less to the general detnolishrnent and unmistakable irritation of the pedestrian in question.

It's all right, this taking the air in Glen Miller for a week or ten days. But more good, physically, would be accomplished if it was distributed through the year at judicious intervals. The finest exercise in the world is walking. And the most natural. Pedestrianism is the most fascinating manner of travel, if you get into form, in short. A woman who has recently completed a "hike"' from New York to Chicago, says that locomotion becomes aii-

much as twelve dollars a week on a microscopic mental capital. Being geniuses, however, they havo nothing but their digestion as an investment. While this may be a little off the mark, it is true that many persons who lump their fresh air excursions into one ten-day jamboree at the Glen would be benefited more materially If they distributed them more evenly through the year.

How Roots Penetrato Herd ' Ground. The extreme tips of- a delicate r ot are protected by a sheath set with minute scales, which as it is worn away by friction against the soil is as constantly replaced, so that it acts as a wedge and the root thread is carried down uninjured. Another aid to penetration lies in the provision whereby the root as it pushes downward in

! search of nourishment exercises a i slightly spiral, screwlike motion which worms lis tii into the ground. Anj other Important agent is the acid cell

sap, which exudes on to and dissolves to some extent the rock or hard soil. This may be tested by placing a small piece of polished marble In a pot in which a plant is set and covering It with earth. After some weeks the marble will be found to have been cor roded by the continuous action of this acid.

The first entrance to Glen Miller is exactly one mile from the corner of Eighth and Main streets.
