Astronomy- simply lulls us that, the sun Is- the primary causo or source of daylight, but it does not say that daylight and sunlight are identical. In fact, they differ almost as much as do water and wjne. Put the dekreo of difference varies. Daylight is a mixture of two kinds of light anil Its. quality Is continually 'changing, as -everybody who has ever had anything1 tc do with photography )nows. The proportions of. the two kinds of ILght that mako daylight are not the J'samo from hour to hour, and hardly 'from minute to minute. In clear weather, under an open- sky, 'with the sun high In the heavens, clay 'light, says Prof. Nichols of Cornell, Is 'ftlmost entirely sunlight. A white surface exposed to an unobacured sky receives directly from the sun 83per cent of the J tight that Illuminates it and only 15 per "cent from other parts of the aky dome, t, This other nart of the. Rumination is called skylight and -It consists of light, Jnearly all of which came originally from tho sun, but which has been changed In uuallty by reflection from the earth, frbm the clohds and from dust rind vapor In the air. Many of the rays that character ized tho original -sunlight havo been ab sorted by tho reflecting substances bo that what remains is no longwr the same 'thing as before. On a completely overcast day there is .no sunlight, properly, so called, but only Jfcky-Ught. Whether the sky is overcast 'or not the intensity of daylight varies Ijvlth the hour of the day "and with the season. This Is dqe.to differences in tho "elevation of the sun. Thcso variations In the Intensity of daylight are surprisingly ncreat 'The-Intensity is, on the average, Hten times as great in mldsummejj as In tmldwlnter, but this average comes far nrsiilnt the utmost difference J . a l.a(utti.a,tnn 1. 0 "tnat can exim, mr iothb..w..

As to pure sunlight, we never see It on the earth. The light that arrives to us from the sun lias neither the color nor the Intensity that It possesses before it enters the atmosphere.

TJIOMAK I. OUIiORV. Two hundred and fifty-three yearn ago today fifty men, headed by a barrel maker named Wnnor. marched upon the city of London with tho purpose of cap turing II, overturning the authorities, nnd making Jesus king. Kvldently tho Lou (Idiom did not rollsh hucli mixing up ot church nnd state, for nunt of tho fifty, were cither killed or taken prisoners, nnd len days later Ven ncr and sixteen oth ers were i xecuted. The Klftli Moii. :rchy men, ' us these pnor, dcludfd fanat I'.a tal.ed lliuiitcHci. originated about the year 15. Ardent supporters of Cromwell's government, they held that the Trotector was to bo tho John tho Daptlst of the "Fifth Mon archy," the blessed condition which was to succeed the Assyrian, Persian, Greek nnd lloman dominations, during which Christ should feign with the saints on earth for a thousand years. Thoy went the full length of their con victions and, Just beforu their attempt upon London, declared themselves as sub ject to no one but "King Jesus." Cromwell did not enthuse as ardently as they thought ho ought to, and tho Fifth Monarchy men began political agi tation against him. They even went so far us to enter in conspiracies against htm. Of course, Cromwell was not a mini to be trifled with, and the fanatics wi re given a lesson that quieted them for a time. -Dut still nourishing tbett plans, they watted until the coming ot the "Merry Monarch," Charles II,- -when they inado the crary, attempt upon Lon don. ' i Tho Fifth Monarchy men have thel modern representatives In the "Miller ltc.s," or Adventlsts, who are still wall Ink' patiently for the "Second Coining," and the reign of the saints with "King Jesus" at' their head. la not meant that the present-day Adventlsts are such fanatics as were their progenitors of the seventeenth century. In their 'snug homes In and around Hattlo Creek, and with their renowned sanitarium in the. up-to-date Michigan town, the descendants of tho I'lfth Monarchy men seerrt to Le very comfortable and not at ull 'anxious to sec the "end of the world.'
