Hygienio Qualities of the Three Princi-

Hygienio Qualities of the Three Princi-
pal Sources of Light,
A German physician has investigated the
influence upon acuteness of vision OF the
three principal sources of Iight-daylight,
gaslight aud the electric light-as well as
their hygienic qualities. He finds that by
Qaslight the acuteness of vision is lessened
BY about one-tenth as against daylight
while it is increased with the electric light
especially as regards the distinction of col
ors. The effectiveness of the electric light.
however, is much diminished by fogs. but
this can be easily Offset by increasing the
intensity Of the light.
The glare Of the electric light finds many
objectors. but this can be avoided by means
Of glass ball. lessening the brightness OF
the light about 20 per cent. The bright
ness Of the white and violet rays OF the
electric light is best overcome by yellow
shade; the yellow aud red OF gaslght, by a
blue shade In using gaslight 1t must be
kept at a certain distance, on account Of
the immense amount OF heat evolved,
while in using the electric light it may be

Carleton College observatory has &C.
cured curious instrument invented by
scientist at Washington and called q
personal equation machin says o
Mortified lotter to the st. Paul Pioneer
Press.
Tho object OF tho instrument ia to
hal 'onize tho observations Of different
persons who are working together, CT
different times or ut the same tine.
Astronomers we'll know that no two per-
sons see exactly alike, by which is
meant. for example, no two persons will
say that n star passes wire in tcle-
scope at exactly the Same instant Ono
Will record It's apparent passage slow ON
truc time, while another will almost
uniformly put its tino fast Observers
unconsciously form habit OF seeing
objects fast or slow on true time. and tho
better tho Observers tho moro steady
this error is rs compared with true timc
This error the astronomer calls tho per-
sonal equation of tho observer In
amount tho personal equation varies
from .C3 of a second CT time to some
thing moro than half 4 second for differ
cnt observers, either fast or slow on true
time. Such errors as these can not be
tolerated at all il astronom cal observa-
tions for fundamental or original work
OF q nice kind, but must be in somo way
eliminated before final reductions can
DO attempted.
To accomplish this in one way an in
gcnious machine has been constructed,
which sets in motion an artificial star
quite like the appearance Of real star
in the telescope. AS this artificial star
passes wires in tho machine tho observ-
or records his observations and the in
strumcnt automatically records tho OK
net timo of tho real passage of tho star
over tho same wires. Now both records
arc made by the aid OF tho electric cur
rent, and consequently arc perfectly
true. These records arc taken automatic
ally in INK on an instrument called
chronomctcr, and hence their differ
cnoes can be measured with tho utmost
accuracy, and in this way tho error Of
tho observer on truo timo is satisfactor-
lily known.
Tho machine Is in use every night
that observers work either together or
sinGly, so that changes in individual
personal equations may be detected. as
we'll as the differences that may exist
between observers. Tho instrument,
therefore. furnishes an uEvaryirg stand
