Luminous Paint.

The evolution of light from inanimate
objects is universally known, though 1t is
very difficult to give q satisfactory expla-
nation of the principles involved. The light
emitted from Prof. Bslmain's luminous
paint is undoubtedly due to chemical &C
ton.
The English Railsoay Nevs says: We un-
desstapd that one Of the carriages on the
Great Western Railway has been painted
with the late Prof. Balmain's luminous
paiut, and many scientific men and railway
renrassntatives have taken advantage OF
their invitation to take short trips on the
Metropolitan Railway in order to test the
efficiency of the experiment. 1t is gratiiy
inp 10 have TO announce that on all hands
considerable satisfaction has beer expressed
st the result. A frst-class carriage war
chosen for the experiments, and Ia the day
light its appearance is very little, II an!
at all, different to ordinary paint, but dur,
ing the time the carriage is exposed to th'
light the paint is rapidly absorbing the day
light. only to give forth the same the mo
ment the carriage is travelling 10 the dark
At first the light emitted Is only slight
not that the paint is any different In it's i
Illuminating powers, but the pupils Of To
ayes Of the travellers have not yet been "
cus.omed to the light, for. ~ the journe
proceeds, the carriage appears to be com
pletsly lighted up. SO much so that tho pa
sensers are enabled easily to recognize Il
features of their fellow travellers, while tt

light lasts not for . short time, but co.tf'

POETRY
ODE TO AUTUMN.
By JOIN KEATs.

Season OF mists and mellow fruitfslness
Clsse bosom friend Of the maturing sun:
Conspiring With him how TO lead and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch- caves
run;
To bend with apples the mossd cottage trees
And fiji all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd and plump the hazel shells
With sweet kernel: to act budding more
And still more, later hswers for the bees
Until they think warm days will never cease;
For summer has Ger -brimDsd their clanny cels.
Who has not seen Thes oft amid thy store ,
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may fnd
Thee sitting careless on garner floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the vinnoving wind.
Or on a half-rcaped furrow sound arleep,
Drowsed with the fume OF poppies, while thy
hook
Spares the neIt swsth and oil lts tvined flowers
And sometimes like cleaner thon dost keep
Steidy thy laden head across a brock.
orsy cider press with patient lock
Thou watchest the last oozinRs, hour by hour.
Where are the songs Of Spring Aye. where ar,
they1
Think not OF them-thou hast thy music, too
While barred clouds bloom the soft dying dN
And touch the stusble plains with rosy hue;
Then In waful choir tho small snats mourn
Among the river-swallsvs, borne aloft
Or sinking a. the light wind lives or dies;
And fsll-grovn lambs loud blest from hill,
kourL;
Hedge ecrickets sing, and now with treble ssft
The red breast whistles from garden croft,
And gathering swallows twitter In the skies.

Captain Eads' Start in Life
October Wide Awake.

Last December, on the steamship Ger

engineer, Captain Eads, stimulated by the
thought that TO beat him was to defeat toe
man who had twice conquered the Missls-
sippi. But dida't defeat him.
James B. Eads vas born in Indiana IN
1920. He is slender in form, genial, cour-
teous, and nearly siIty years OF age. In
1893 his father started down tho Ohio river
with his family, proposing to settle IN Wis
| consin. The boat caught fire and his
scanty furniture and clothing were burned.
| Young Eads barely escaped ashore with his
paotaloous, shirt and cap. Taking passage
on another boat this boy OF thirteen landed
at ST. Louis With his parents, his liStie bare
feet first touching the rockv shore Of rhe

located and built the largest steel oridge
IN tbe world, over the Mississippi-one OF
the most difficult feats of engineering ever
