 1t is to be observed that the action of light may proceed for some time with out producing any visible effect, but on treating such paper with potash solu- tion of such q strength as only to give a faint yellow color with uneXposed material, brownish stain is developed. Incidentally he mentions that while direct sunlight after q few hours causes a change in paper made of wood pulp, bright diffused daylight can only effect similar change after sev- eral days.
 It was also found that the tensile strength of the paper diminishes con siderably during the process of yellow ing. The author concludes that, al- though gaslight has little influence on paper, the incandescent light is the best form of illumination for use in li- braries.

APPLES AS MEDICINE
The Phosphorus Found in Them Is an
 Admirable Food for the Brain.

Chemically, the apple is composed of vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl, malic acid, gallic acid, lime and much water, says Medical Age. Furthermore, the German analysts say that the apple contains larger per centage of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus is admirably adapted for renewing the essential nervous matter, lecithin, of the brain and spinai cord.
 It is, perhaps, for the same reason, rudcly understood that old Scandinavian traditions represent the apple as the food of the gods, who, when they felt themselves to be growing feeble and in- firm, resortcd to this fruit for renewing their powers of mind and body. Also the acids of the apple are of signal use for men of sedentary habits whose lives are sluggish in action, those acids serving to eliminate from the body noXious matters which, if retained, would make the brain heavy and dull, or bring about jaundice or skin erup- tions and other allied troubles.
 Some such an experience must have led to our custom of taking apple sauce with roast pork, rich goose and like dishes. The malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will neutralize any excess of challly matter engendered by eating too much meat. It is also the fact that such fresh fruits as the apple, the pear and the plum, when taken ripe and without sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach rather than provoke it.. Their vegetable sauces and juices are converted into alkaline carbonates, which tend to counteract acidity.

unobtrusively. It is the nickel-plated imitator of swelldom who sports the loud suits, the ''howling" ties and the big flowers, and it is the nickel-plated imitators who constitute the bulk of the audiences at the horse show. Young fellows who never sat in a saddle in their lives appear in yellow covert coats over their evening dress, a combination about as appropriate as spurs would be on dancing pumps. If there is one thing which exasperates me more than another it is to see a young dude with the tails of his swallowtail sticking out a couple of inches below the abbreviated narrative of a covert coat.
 A covert coat is designed for the pur- pose of wearing over the pink" when going to the meet" It is made short and the trails are slit up at each side in order that it may hang easily over the saddle. It is no more suitable for even- ing wear than bicycle suit would be, yet I will venture to assert that six out of ten of the would-be
 swells who visited the horse show wore NONtlI NDdlns iltl LO AlNll IllIlii Nilh horse! A cyclone of horse slang has struck the town. A young woman is not a pretty girl, but ''liliely lilly" she is not stylish but 'high stopper" and so it goes until the reasonable man begins to hate the whole equine race.
 But the horse show is over, with It's sporty" looking dudes who could not tell a horse from COW except by the horns and it's quiet, unobtrusive men clad in immaculate evening dress who could rccite the pedigree and record of every horse in the garden and estimate to within a dollar of it's selling value, and New York is looking for new amusement. We are to have no opera this season and nobody seems to have any very definite idea of what will take its place. The genius who will invent a new amusement will receive the blessings of society.

show and the horse show were comical and instructive.
 The food show was an advertising fakement on a gigantic scale. Gamers of timed tomatoes manufacturers of chocolates and cocOas, vendors of blended teas and colfeGs, grinders of spices, makers of baking powders and curcrs of hams were all there. They had their little booths upon which their wares were artlStically displayed and Gbcrally advertised, and in many cases pretty girls iu neat caps and aprons dis tributed free samples of the goods. The bulk of the audiences at the food show was staid, middle-agcd matrons with the inevitable hand bag, which every staid, middle.aged matron carries; into this bag sine would carefully stow the samples of such goods IS could be taken away; other concerns served their comestibles io be eaten on the spot, and it was at this pleasing occupation that the staid matron shOne in effulgcnt glory. I saw one rather delicate, mOth- y-loolling woman, one who was quite old enough to know better, drink three cups of tea--diiferent brands-cat a large chunk of that peculiarly battery cake known as angels food, swallow samples of four different kinds of canned soup, followed by two flapjaclls made with somebody's baking powder, then, in rapid succession, two cups of chocolate. a teaspoonful of condensed milk biscuit, a pickle, a few dried apples, Q teaspoonful of sirup, bit of cheese, and then lost count. 1 had to stop watching her, it was rapidly giv- ing me dyspepsia to look at her; at the same time her bag was jammed with samples of goods, enough to start fancy grocery store.
 Not that there were no young people at the food show. The pretty girls in charge of the booths attracted good ly contingent of the crutch and tooth pick brigade, and good many of the girls enjoyed their innocent firtations hugely. There was one tea concern which had very artistic pagoda built of bamboo, presided over by an ex- tremely fetching Ceylonese girl, round, plump, large eyed, dressed in the pie turesque Oriental garb and thoroughly au Jatt in every iirtatious art known to her fairer-sIinned sisters. I was get tingon famously with her and had quite made up my mind to learn to speak the lingo of Ceylon when her husband ap- peared-a hopelessly-fierce East Indian with his broad belt stuck full of a varied assortment of scimitars, crooked stab knives and other 1ethal weapons He looked at me suspicious ly and went down into the basement to inspect the model dairy.
 Following the food show came the flower show, and the garden was trans formed into a wondrous scene of beauty. There were rose days, and orchid days, but the piece de resistanee,

well-to-do melodies who are not in
 society but who want to be; fair sprinkling of men about town, and a large assortment of that class of women who affect yellow hair and drug store complications, combined to make the audiences at the horse show fully as in- teresting as the show itself. For, can didly, the newspaper gush to the con trary notwithstanding, the array of horses at the horse show was nothing phenomenal There was plenty of good stock on exhibition, the jumping was fair and the parade of the mounted po- lice was interesting Further than that little can be said of the show to justify the wild enthusiasm of the reporters who have made a lot of well meaning, decent, amateur horse breeders masque- rade as society leaders and have mis- taken Anonyma for Lady Clara We're de We're. Not that there are no real swells in the Horse Show aSsociation-there arc, but this year they staid away. The VanderbiltS, the Astors, the Bclmonts have all had deaths in their families during the past year, and furthermore the crowd has not been such as to at tract the genuine Four Hundred. Horsey young men whose knowlege of stable matters is confined to dressing like bad imitation of an English groom on his day off, and whose man. ners would procure the instant dismiss sal of the groom of any well regulated English family, saucy, short-haired soubrettes and a mob of impossible so- ciety aapirants constitute just the sort of an audience that the genuine Four Hundred delight in staying away from.
 The contrasts in the character of the visitors to the food show, the flower

so to speak, was the crysanthemum. Great ragged yellow ones as big as a child's head and little solid fellows no bigger than a vest button, the flower of Japan was there in all shades, sizes and colors. The flower show was really fashionable and the very best people in town attended it. Somehow it did not attract either the fast set of society or their followers.
 The only noticeable types, outside of the well-groomed, correctly-attired New Yorker, the soclety man, were the hard-handed Scotch gardeners. Why the best gardeners should be Scotch men is matter which I have never seen explained; the fact remains all the same. There were lots of pretty girls with great punches of crysanthemums at their belts, and lots of trim, clean-cut young fellows peering out from behind great crysanthemum boutonnieres, ap- parently selected on the principle: ''The larger the flower the greater the swell" This rage for big "mums," as they are called colloquially, has been carried to such an absurd length that the real "tip-topper" wears white or yellow blossom as big as a small cabbage, and nowhere have they been seen in greater profusion than at the horse show.
 The real, genuine fashionable element of New York society dresses, as a rule,
