RAYS FROM THE SUN.
They Become Light to Us Only Upon
Strikine Our Atmosphere.
The rays of light that reach us from
the sun are not light In themselves.
For iestance, to show what ie ineaut.
suppose you were placed out in empty
apace, facing so that you would leek
Mewls° at the light rays paseing from
the atm to the earth. You would not
see them at all. You could only see
them if you looked directly at the stint
NO that the rays would enter your
epee and, striking upon tho retina, pro -
ca there the impression of light.
The rays passing by and not enter -
leg your eyes would be invisible be-
cause in open space there is no me-
dium like the atmosphere to scatter
the rays in all directions and thus pro-
duce an illumination all around,
The sky at night Is full a peening
sunbeams and star beams, a vast and
tnextricable web of radiations, but they
ne beyond tbe limits of t,he atmos-
phere, and only those are transformed
into light which by reflection from a
planet in the case of sunbeams or by
coming straight into the eye from a
star directly affect the nerves of vision.

UNDER AN AVALANCHE.
••••••••.••••••••••••
A Remarkable Experience and Rescue
In the Italian Alps.
Human beings occasionally live
through incredibly long imprisonments
after their dwellings have been over-
whelmed by avalanches. On March 19,
1755, avalanches buried the village of
Bergemoletto, in the Italian Alps, and
on April 25 three women were dug out
alive from a stable in which they had
been immured for thirty-seven days in
the dark beneath the mass of snow
which lay forty-two feet higher than
the roof. With them had been burled
a little boy, six goats, a donkey and '
some hens.

A charming wedding took place at
Cedar Grove Farm, 13elmore, the home
of Mr. and Mrs. William McKee on
Wednesday, 1Decernber 29th, at eleven
o'clock, when their daughter, Margaret
Was married te Mr. George
Lane, son of Mr. and Mrs, John Lane,
of Wroxeter. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev, Alex. Gibson,.
The bride, who was unattended, wore
an exquisite gown of cream ninon and
shadow lace with panel and girdle of
softest lvet touched with Russian
seble. Her veil was of tulle with
coronet of orange blossoms and her
shower bouquet was of sweetheart
roses. Four ribbon bearers, Bessie
Wylie, Olive Stokes, George Wylie and
Percy Wallace made an aisle, and the
bride, accompanied by her father,
entered to the strains of Lohengrin,
played by Mrs. Frank Halbus, of
Toronto. During the signing of the
register, Mies Alicia Radford, of
Chippewa, Sweetly sang "A Perfect
Day". The house was fragrant with
the perfume of flowers and bright with
Christmas holly. The bride's table
was a mass of crimson roses and lilies
of the valley. The groom's gift to the
bride was a handsome pearl necklace
and pendant. To the soloist he gave a
dainty cameo ring, and to the pianist a
dozen silver spoons. The happy couple
left on the afternoon train for New
York, the bride wearing a beautiful
coat of black velvet trimmed with er-
mine furs. On their return they will
reside near Belmore. The guests frnm
a distance included Mre. and Miss
Ballantyne, of Exeter; Mr. George
Ballantyne, B. A., of Stratford; Mr.
and Hrs. LA. Brink, of Teeswater,
and Mr. and Mrs. Wallace and son, of
Riversdale.

marriage to take place quietly on the
I twelfth of January.
Fireswas discovered in the store of
the Morrish Clothing Co., Clinton, about
9 o'clock Monday morning, and although
the firemen responded promptly consid-
erable damage was done to the stock.
It was in the work -room on the second
flat that the fire started, and the fire-
men succeeded in confining it to this
flat, where considerable reserve stoek
was stored, but the large stock of
clothing and furnishings on the erst
floor was also damaged, mostly by
water. Mr. Morrish is unable to ex,
plain the cause of the fire, except that
it apparently started near a stove in
the work -room. The Morrish Company
carried about a fifteen -thousand -dollar
stock and the loss is fully covered by
insurance.
The child, the donkey and the fowls BLUEVALE.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Bluevale branch of the Women's In-
stitute will be held in the lecture room
of the Presbyterian church, Bluevale,
on the afternoon of Monday, January
10th, at 2.80 o'clock. Miss M. V.
Powell, of Whitlsy, will speak. Sub-
ject, "National Needs To -day and After
the War." A very cordial invitation
is given to all the ladies to be present.
The most successful patriotic concert
yet held in Bluevale was given unde
the auspices of the Women's Institute
in Knox Church on New Year's Eve.
The church was crowded by a holiday
audience to hear the lengthy program
provided and the proceeds, amounting
to $63.85 will enable the Women's In-
stitute to continue, their Red, Cross
work with renewed energy. The most
prominent feature of the evening was
a play entitled "The Spinsters' Conven-
tion" which was very capably acted by
a large company in a way that revealed
careful training and faithful prepara-
tion. The cast was as follows:
Josephine Jane Green (Pres. Single
Blessedness Debating Society)
Lillian McCall
Priscilla Abigail Hodge (See) Mrs.
H. Stewart
Calamity Jane Higgins (Trees) Mrs.

The play was proceeded by an ex-

, ing splendid solos by ttr. Murch,
Toronto, and Mr. Wilford, of Wingharm
I an excellent reading- by Miss P,uple
:Tate; addresses by Rev, Crawford Tate
and Mr. Arthur Shaw; a patriotic
chorus by the Women's Institute,
recitations and readings, songs, etc. by
a number of others, and a beautiful
flag drill by sixteen young ladies under
the direction of Mrs. Tate.

soon died, but the goats helped the
woraen to survive, their milk supple-
menting the thirty or forty cakes and
the pocketful of chest:I:tuts upon which
they depended for food. Hope of find-
ing the women alive bad been aban-
doned when far in April the brother
of one had a dream in which she ap-
pealed to him for rescue.
The weather then at last made ex-
cavation possible, and the women were
restored to the world and presently to
health:
Culture.
Culture is a slow process. It comes
from long and close contacts. It is the
fruit of reflection„ of travail of soul
and of mind. Grappling with some-
thing until the very essence of it has
been extracted is a first step. Thus the
tastes of essences is learned, and once
learned lesser distillations do not satis-
fy. Then follows a growing power to
discriminate, to distinguish nice values,
to judge of quality, to answer to beau-
ty, to feel the need, that what you
have, though it may be little, may
still be the real thing. This is culture.
It is not baggage, like diplomas and de-
grees. It is not things seen and heard,
miles traveled or books read. These
are the materials for culture. They
contribute to it only when they are
absorbed by the mind and as really
lost in it as water and lime, phosphates
and ammonia must be lost in the soil if
they are to enrich it and enable it to
increase its yield.—Ida M. Tarbell in
Woman's Home Companion. "
The Battle of Chalons.
There have been so many bloody
battles it is perhaps impossible to say
with absolute certainty whicb of them
all was the bloodiest, but the balance
of the 'evidence seems to be in favor
of the battle of Chalons, France,
fought A. D. 451 between the nuns,
under Attila, and the Romans, Goths
and Pranks, under the command of
Aetius, the most renowned captain of
bis day. At the head of his 500,000
savages Attila was having everything
his own way, and it looked as if
Aryan civilization was destined to fall
before the Tartar despotism, when
suddenly, like a bolt out of the blue,
Aetius fell upon the barbaric hordes
and Europe was saved. It is estimat-
ed that 400,000 of the barbarians were
left dead on the field.
