f people to be
developed along certain lines only. The development should be
symmetrical. The strongest men are not those who are simply coldly
intellectual, neither those who are simply emotional and sentimental,
but those in whom heart, mind, and soul are so related that each one of
these elements re-enforces and strengthens the others.

At certain seasons of the year and in certain localities it is not
uncommon to have wonderfully beautiful displays of coloring upon the
skies and clouds at sunset. The question is often asked why we do not
see these displays at other times in the day than at sunrise and at
sunset--for the same effects are seen in the morning, but they are not
noticed so often, because to do so would interfere with the habits of
the average man and woman.

The reason for this change of coloring is the angle at which the sun's
rays strike the clouds of an evening sky, which are reflected to our
eyes. When the sun is high in the heavens it shines against the back of
the clouds, from the point of view of a person standing on the surface
of the earth. It also shines a shorter distance through the air at
midday than at sunset. At sunset the rays are able to shine on the under
side of a cloud, especially if it is high in the air. The moisture
globules of which the cloud is made up are much larger than the
transparent ones that are uncondensed and just as they were when
released in the process of evaporation.

As we have already seen, the reflections from these minute globules
give us the blue coloring of the sky and are very much smaller in
diameter than a globule that is able to reflect the red ray. When these
small globules are condensed into cloud a great number are combined into
one globule, and they are of all sizes, from the globule of evaporation
to that of the raindrop when precipitation takes place. We have, then,
in the various stages of cloud formation all conditions present for
reflecting the various colors and combinations of colors that are found
in the solar spectrum. Hence it is that, under certain conditions of
atmosphere and cloud formation, we see at sunset painted upon the sky
those wonderful combinations of colors, more beautiful and delicate in
shading, more various in combination and purer of tone, than any artist,
however cunning his fingers or brilliant his pigments, has ever been
able to truthfully reproduce. Even when the sky is cloudless it often
assumes a brilliant hue, which
