Trade catalogue making in Amer
lea, if not elsewhere, has gradually
become a fine art. For years Amer
lean catalogues have been the adj
miration Of foreigners, and yet a
comparatively small number of these
catalogues were printed on particu-
larly fine paper or had special atten-
ton paid to typography. There were
a few firms only that INDUCED in the
luxury of what might be termed
gilt edged" catalogues, and single
editions of these frequently cost a
small fortune.
Aside from this there is another
point, though rather more utilitarian
in aspect, which is worthy Of note,
and that is that the classifcations
and descriptions in these catalogues
are generally sufficiently definite to
enable the exact quality, price and
style to be found either by name OF
number and an order to be made
out, with the certainty of being sat
lsiied, even when the prospective

The possible performances of the

as in that of artistic excellence,
American catalogues are, generally
speaking, vastly superior to those OF

A Scientist Tells on Experience Ne Had

A Scientist Tells on Experience Tie Had
watching the Rhine Falls.
When lecturing at the Royal insti-
tuition recently Professor Lodge put
forward a hypothesis concerning tho
relations between vision and cleo
trlcity. In connection with this
theory DR.. Obach communicates to
Nature an interesting account Of
an observation OF his on his own eyes.
One evening, he tells us, after watch
ing the famous Rhine falls near
Schauffhauson for q considerable
time in the fun glare Of the sun,
which produced a dazzling wilderness
Of spray, DR.. Obach felt intense pains
In his head, which did not diminish
much even after he had retired to
bed in a perfectly dark room. He
thereupon resOrted to a remedy
which had given relief to pains in
the eyes on previous occasions, sim
ply placing the thumb and %forefnger
over the closed eyelids and impart.
ing gentle vibrations to the eyeballs.
After two or three vibrations he
was compelled to stop, as the remedy
was not only painful but produced
the sensation Of q blush white light
of dazzling brightness-like an cleo
trio arc-being brought almost into
contact with the eyes. After the
lapse of a few minutes the luminous
phenomena subsidized, and he again
commenced the vibrations of the
eyeballs, which now could DO done
longer than before ere it became I'M
bearable. This operation was re-
peated eight or ten times, till finally
the vibrations were almost painless
and no longer produced any lumi-
Mostly.
The explanation Of this phenome-
o appears to DR.. Obach to be this.
The intense brightness of the light
reflected from the spray had not only
reduced the resistance of the inter.
cepting medium to a minimum, but
at the same time overtaxed the elias
tic tissues whose duties it would have
been to shake the material back into
its normal condition after the cessa.
ton Of the light. The energy thus
lost by the tissues was then sup
pressed from without by the vibrat-
ing fingers. For what reason the re
turn Of the ~intercepting substance to
its original insulating condition
should also be attended by the sensa
ton of light is difficult to conjecture
unless it be directly due to the physi
illogical effect produced on breaking
the circuit. Similar effects, DR.
Qbach says, can be observed in a les
pronounced form on vibrating the
eyeballs after an ordinary ~overstrair
of the eyes.

Suggestions Tor Young Efen Contemplating
q College Course.
Before entering upon a college
course Uncle Reuben would advise
all young men to carefully observe
the following suggestions:
Spend one season at a natatorium,
so that when yachting, and an acct
dent occurs, you can save yourself by
swimming.
Have at least one hand 20 hand en-
counter with q bear or convert your
self into a sheaf Of grain and pass
through a thrashing machine in order
to harden yourself for game of foot
ball.
Take one seasons training as a
prize fghter-and be prepared for a
hazing.
Be sure and have the mumps be-
fore leaving home, ana don't forget
to be vaccinated. It may save a
great deal of bother.
Be sure to learn to play some posi-
ton well in a baseball nine and have
all your fingers put out of joint while
they are young and tender.
Steal away with your fathers rank
est pipe and learn to smoke. It's bet
ter to be sick at home with mother
to comfort you. and then the extras
for doctors bills viii not be so large.
Father sometimes kicks about those
extras.
Itmight be well for you to learn to
play the guitar, mandolin, violin,
bass viol, flute, cornet-in fact, make
a brass band out OF yourself before
entering college, SO that you would
have more time to devote to your
studies.
You might take a course in some
newspaper Office, as you may be
called upon to contribute to the col
lege monthly. and Of course you
could not spare any time from your
studies todevote to society news, etc.
This is a vast field, and ! might
mention many other things, but take
this for a starter, and perhaps the
other things VIII suggest themselves
to you.-Detroit Free Press.

Enects or Atmospheric Changes on the

A writer I'm The American Journal Of
Psychology discusses tho subject from
tho view Of common experienced and
presents some facts that arc interesting

He says;
''rho head Of a factory employing

that opinions reached in best weather

Other facts are mentioned in the
psychical and physiological relations, as;
weather often affects logic, and many
mems most ~syllogistic conclusions are
vlried by heat and cold. The knee jerk
seems proved TO have another factor. IL
