Dil it ever sirike you toinquire why-the cloudless depths of sky above us are so delicately biue? It isn’t that the gas we call air is 1n itself biue, As far as we know, it is quite transpar- ent and absolutely colorless. No; the bive comes from reflected light. Airis never pure. You cculdn’s live in itif it was. Countless millions of tiny particies, chiefly of water, are always suspended in it, and :hese arrest the free passage of light. Kach particle has a dou- ble reflection—one interna'l, the other external—and so the reflected rays suffer toe wusual resnit of what is called ‘‘interference” aud show color. You -l notice that the sky appears much bluer if you look straignt up than if you look across toward the horizon. The reason 1s that, in the first instance, you are naturally looking through a much thinner layer of air than in the second. Ii there were no air, and consequently no waiery vapor and nothing to interfere with the free passage of light, even at midday the sky above would look per- fectly black and all the stars plainer than at present they do at midnight.— Answers. — - o THE CALL CALENDAK.
