ELECTRICITY AT SEA.
Tests Prove That the White Light Is by
Far the Most Easily Seen.

Far the Most Easily Seen.
Some interesting experiments have
been made on the visibility of the cleo
trio light at sea by the governments of
the United States, Germany and the
Netherlands. The word "visible' in the
report on the tests means visible on a
dark night with clear atmosphere.
The result of the experience of the Ger
man committee was that white light
Of one candle power was visible ID
miles on a dark, clear night and one
mile ON rainy night.
The American tests resulted as fol-
lows: In very clear weather light Of
one candle power was plainly visible at
one nautical mile; one of three candle
power at two miles; one of ten candle
power was seen by the aid of binoc-
ular at four miles; one of 80 candle
power family at five miles and one of
33 candle power plainly at five miles
On an exceptionally clear night a white
light of 80 candle power was readily
distinguished at three miles; one of 5. 6
candle power at four miles and one Of
l7.2 candle power at five miles.
In the Dutch experiments the results
were almost similar, but 16 candle
power light was plainly visible at five
miles. For green light the power re-
quired was two for one mile, Is for two
miles, 81 for three miles and 100 for
four miles The results of tests with a
red light We're almost identical with
those with green, but it was conclusive
ly proved that white light was by far
the most easily seen.-Chicago Record.

Freckle Cures,

Do the frecllles prove stubborn? There
is usually clamor for "freckle cures
about this time of the year, and the
very best thing that proves reliable year
after year is simply common buttermilk.
Secure it as fresh as possible 1t will be
found that nothing can equal this fresh
buttermilk for removing tan, freckles,
sunburn or moth spots. 1t has the great
advantage that it does not injure the
skin, but makes it soft and white. Take
q soft sponge and battle the face neck
and arms before retiring for the night.
Then wipe off the drops lightly In the
morning wash it off thoroughly and
wipe dry with crash towel Two or
three such baths each week during the
summer months will take off and keep
off the tan and freckles and keep the
skin soft and smooth -Philadelphia

A FAMOUS COUPLET.
The Familiar Lines Which Have Been At
tributed to Martin Luther.

tr1DuCeu To Martin Luther.
Nearly everybody is familiar in one
language or another with the famous
old German couplet attributed to Mar
tin Luther, and which literally and
properly translated into English is as
follows:
Who loves not wine, wife and song
Remains fool his whole life long.
This supposed sentiment of the great
reformer has been quote thousands of
times as his, and its Authenticity was
not questioned. But now comes a very
competent authority-The Lutheran OBJ
server-and stoutly insists that Luther
never wrote the lines, and that, in fact,
they made their first appearance more
than 200 years after his death.
According to The Observer, in the
year 1777 we'll known German poet,
John Henry Voss, published at Ham
burg small volume entitled "Musen-
alnanach {" The Almanac of the
Muses''). At the end of one of the
poems in this book he placed the coup
let in German:
Wer NIGHT liebt wein webb ind gesang
Der bleibt Elm narr scin lebenlang.
To this effusion Voss affixed the name
of Luther. This caused good deal of
comment and excitement. Voss was
candidate for the position of teacher in
the Hamburg gymnasium. The Luther
an pastors of the city protested against
his appointment because Luther was not
the author Of 1.-The couplet' which had
been attributed to him, and because
Voss had thus made Luther encourage
intemperance. But in spite of all that
could be done i'll the way of denial and
explanation the lines literally chung to
the great name and refused to be sepa-
rated, and we venture to say that com
paratively few down to the present day
ever doubted that Luther was their real
author.
As the couplet expresses the convivial
sentiments of many Germans it is prob
able that it was common piece of I'M
written German folklore even before
Luther's time. Some English writers
have made the lines into bacchanal
rhyme, with asinister meaning, but the
true version, coupling "wine, wife and
song," expresses the prevailing senti-
ment and custom among Germans in
taking their wives and children with
them to the gardens and other social re-
sorts for recreation and amusement -

Inc championship season opened in

a game between the locals aud tho
Norfolks, and although the weather
was trltie cool and quite threatening,
there were about 5000 present,
Before We go into the details of the
game, let us say shat under the efficient
supervision of Manager Bland, the
very best order prevailed, and all who
went out expecting disorder and bad
behavior came away from the park
very agreeably disappointed, and the
manager IS to be congratulated upon
his successful efforts.
PORTSMOUTH took her usual first at
the bnt, and after three men had been
sent to base on balls, Behsn started the
run getting by pretty single aud the
portsmouth rooters went wild. Ports

lore the SIDE was retired, and Norfolk
came TO the bat with an uphill game to
play, but with two men on bases IA hot

beautiful stop and would have caught
tho runner from third, but unfortu.
nntely Netter. in attempting to return
the ball, lost sight of the fact that there
was no one covering third base and on
this play Norfolk scored two runs. with
an additional two before the side was
retired.
Alter this inning both clubs settled
down and played good ball until the
SIKH inning. when Portsmouth added
SIX more runs to her credit, and MS two
runs had been made between the first
anu sixth, and as Norfolk was hlauked
III her sixth, the score stood II to ).
Portsmouth was BANKED in her half of
tue seventh. but Norfolk developed "A
Uniting streak in her half and succeeded
IN adding five runs to her credit before
tue inning was ended.
Hallman, who pitched for Ports
mouth, struck ont seven men and WINS
very effective up to the seventh. when
darkness compelled him To let ND in
his speed in order that otter could
see the ball. Herr. Setley aud Me.

none OF them proved elective. Ports.
