An Invisible Power That Can Work In

An Invisible Power That Can Work In
the Dark.
Now that ii is has been shown that it
is possible TO take photographs with
dark light" it is obvious hat we must
attach a deeper and a much wider mean
ing to the word light than has hereto
fore been ordinarily understood. The
fact is, the eye is able to see very lit
tie. 1t can appreciate and turn to ac-
count in producing an impression upon
the retina but a very limited portion,
barely more than an octave Of the
waves or vibrations that may actuate
the ether or medium which pervades all
space. The ear is a more sensitive in
strument for sound vibrations, since
most people can appreciate the notes
within the compass of a piano, but even
here there must be a limit. Some
persons cannot recognize the extreme
top notes or rapid ~undulations until the
tension of the strings is reduced, when
the note is appreciated, having been
brought down 10 the level of the IT.
capacity and the vibrations reduced in
frequency. In the same way the pho
Geographic plate has brought within our
vision countless stars which the eye,
even aided by the telescope, fails to
sec. The sensitive plate, in other
words. records infinitely more than the
eye, and this property is utilized TO
bring things within the range of hui
man vision. So it is with the IN" or
R~Oentgen rays and doubtless there are
other rays which have a greater penc-
trative power. Opacity is, indeed, a
phenomenon existing merely for an
eye like ours, which, if constructed a
little differently, would enable us to
see easily through walls. Perhaps it
is a wise provision that it is not SO.
The fact that photographs have been
taken with no apparent source of light,
appears to be due to the property OF
probably most things, of absorbing GER
tain rays and giving them out again in
the dark. Thus, if 4 transparent pho
tograph proof has been freely exposed
TO the light and then taken into the
dark room and placed over a sensitive
plate for some time the plate on devel-
opmcnt will give a distinct negative
image. The same thing is illustrated
in Il stronger in luminous
paint, which absorbs light and gives
it Out again so that it is visible to the
eve in the dark. We have heard some
people assert that Oh reading a paper
closely in a railway train which is just
rapidly entering a railway tunnel they
are enabled to read on for quite a few
seconds or so in spite of the darkness.
1t is quite possible that it is due to the
paper giving up the light which it has

Injecting of the International Arbitration
Congress-A Gathering of Distinguished
Men Earnestly Seeking Means to End

of War-Ex-Senator Edmunds' Address.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-The inter-
national Arbitration congress which
began a w days session in Metzerott
nall IN this city yesterday was a dis
Hnguished gathering of prominent
men from all parts of the country.
MIR. Gardiner &. Hubbard called the
convention to order and introduced
Hon. John w. Foster, ex-sec-etary OF
state, as temporary chairman. who
made a brief address.
Ex-senator Edmunds, OF Vermont,
was chosen permanent presiding otn-
Ger. He was escorted to the platform,
and, in a brief speech said tina this
a~ssemblage, representing the largest
civilized homogeneous body OF men and
women on the globe, was e~xtraordi-
nary. The United States was among
the strongest nations of the world. 1t
had the least reason of any great ma
ton, in a merely selfish sense, to wish
for arbitration. 1t was strong enough
in any but the most absurd cause to
defend itself, to promote its policies
and to carry on war; but its very
strength impels it to be backward.
The convention had met to aid and
promote the interests of the govern
ment, and so far as example would go,
kindred governments to practice the
principle of arbitration; and finally
all otEer nations might follow their
example. 1t was a pitiful thought
that in this time of peace over nearly
all the world lore than a million
men capable of taking part in the
progress of civilization were kept IN.

must come when the armies of the
world, like that of the United States,
would be mere police bodies. The
force of public opinion must be as con-
slant as the law of gravitation for
solving the difficult problem of ending
war. The time would come when ar
mics for aggressive purposes would be
dissolved and the angel of peace would
blow the trumpet over all the world.
A letter from Chief Justice Fuller,
who wa unable to attend, was read.
He expressed his sympathy with the
object OF the meeting.

AN EXCITING SCENE
Eads a Celebrated Church Scandal in san
Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-The clos
ing chapters in the celebrated church
scandal, which terminated Tuesday
night i'll the suspension from the fell
Iowship of the church of DR.. c. U.
Brown of the First Congregational
church, were of a highly sensational
character.
After the verdict had been an
nounced, Valentine Brown, the L.
year-old son of the parson, threatened
to kill DR.. Mclean, the white-haired
minister who has been one of the most
aggressive of Browns adversaries.
The boy advanced to where the old
gentleman sat, and coolly and DELHI
erately said: Ill put a hole through
you"
Instantly all was confusion. Young
Brown put his hand to his hip pocket
as if to carry out his threat. He wa
seized by a bystander and held, while
a crowd of DIR. McLean's friends gath
cred about him.
DIR. Brown and his wife, followed by
d number of the pastors a~dhcrents,
swarmed to the aisle where the boy
was struggling, and 4 most exciting
scene ensued. DIR. Browns friends
consisted mainly of women, and, I'M
mindful of the sanct;ty of the temple
in which they We're, they heaped all
sorts of opprobrious epithetsat the
aged DR.. Mclean.
DR.. Brown himself sounded the key
tote of the attack by shouting:
Coward at his reverend antago-
mist. Cries of eur, coward" and
liar" filled the air, and for several
moments it looked as though the
church would bc converted into a
prize ring.

CARLlSLS'S ANSWER

To the Allegations In VIM. Graves Peei.
tion in His Suit Against the Treasury
for Loss Resulting from Alleged Dis
elimination Against Him in the Appor.
tioning of Bonds in the Late Issue.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-In the suit
brought by VIM Graves in the supreme
our of the District of Columbia,
against the secretary of the treasury,
in which he claims that he was,
through the unlawful and hostile ac-
ton OK the treasury department off,
Gals, prevented from securing $780,
600 of the recent issue of four-per-
cent bonds, Mr.. Carlisle yesterday
filed an affidavit, showing his side of
the case. The affidavit charges Graves
with Withholding from the court a full
recital of the facts and with attempt
ing to Great wrong impressions by
false recitals and by garbling corre-
spondence.
The main ground of Graves COM
plant was that he did not promptly
receive notice of the acceptance of his
bid because it was simply directed to
him at New York, and by reason Of
GlllS anu TIC ICluSdl VI VIC SCCICIilS
TO extend the time for depositing the
first installment of gold, he was wrong
fully deprived of the be nefits of the
contract.
Mr.. Carlisle states that Graves bid
gave no address other than New

the bid he named two places for de-
lirar,- nf bonds hn rara no Snnoial a1.
dress; hat the acceptance was mailed
in Washington on February 0 with the
address given at the head of his pro-
posal, and that this was received at
the New York post Office on February
10; that publications were made in
the New York papers and papers
generally throughout the country
on February Q showing the success
full bidders; hat Mr.. Graves knew on
February 10 hat he was a successful
bidder and SEM Il telegram to the de-
partment on hat day, showing this
fact; that a duplicate of the notice of
acceptance was sent as soon as he
wired his special address and was re-
ceived by him February II, which was
four days before he was required to
make any payment; that on February
IL Mr.. Graves made an application for
an ~extention OF time on the ground
that the first notice was instructed,
causing a loss Of two days, but stated
distinctly in such application that.
Notwithstanding the delay, he was
prepared TO make his deposit on Feb
ruary 10.
Mr.. Carlisle's affidavit further r~ecites
that Graves, after he failed to get an
extension of the time for payment, or
to get the bonds SEM to New York be-
fore payment, made a second bid on
February IL of 1917 for all bonds that
the secretary might consider in default
On that date, including those awarded
him on his first bid. No reference to
this new bid is made in his petition.
1t is further charged that Graves filed,
as an exhibit to his petition what pur-
ports to be a copy of letter written by
him February - to the secretary, but
which contains statements which were
not in the original letter, and omits
statements which were.
