The recent discussion of the subject

declared to be always beforehand of a

CANDLE POWER.


How to Measure the Lighting Force and
Effect of q Flame.
This question and its answer have
been until recently of interest to scien-
fists only. But since one method Of
lighting is competing with the other
for superiority the question of lighting
power has seemingly become @ public
matter. How many candle power? The
question isvery simple and yet mysteri-
Gus to the layman.
For measuring the lighting power the
most reliable results are obtained by
means of grease spot. In its most sim
pie application the experiment can be
tried easily at home A sheet of white
paper with grease spot in the center
is put into frame and placed between
two flames of different lighting power
for instance, between an ordinary
candle and a lamp.
When the frame is equally distant
from tho two unequally bright flames,
the grease spot can be seen plainly on
both sides. By moving the frame with
the sheet Of paper slowly toward the
less brilliant light--that is the candle
it will arrive finally at point where
the grease spot has apparently disap-
peared on both sides of the paper. This
deception must always occur when on
both sides Of the paper an equal bright
ness prevails and no side light exists.
Having reached this point, it can be
ascertained how much stronger is the
light Of the lamp than that Of the can
die.
If the candle is 20 inches distant from
the paper and the lamp 60 inches and
yet the brightness ON both sides Of the
paper is the same, then the light Of the
lamp will be as strong as that Of nine
candles. The calculation Is based upon
the distances the figures Of which are
multiplied by themselves and then di-
vided--here, for instance, 60 times go
divided by 90 multiplied by 30 equals 9.
This, Of course, is the most primitive
method for measuring light, but it Is
the principle for all the delicate instru-
ments used in the laboratories. Pear.

The Word "Dollar.s

According to one authority, the word
"dollar" is corruption Of the German
word "thaIer,'' the form in Dutch be-
ing "daalder /" ALL these different forms
were derived from Joachim's Thai a
Bohemian town. where the count of
Schlick, A. D. 1918, coined some ex-
cellent pieces in silver Of one ounce in
weight. From the name Of the town
came Joachim's thaler, applied to the
above named coins as well as that Of
Schlicken thaler. Hence, Joachim s
thaler pieces were first contracted into
Joachim's thalers and then into thalers
These coins gained such reputation
that they became pattern, so that
others of the same kind, though made
in other places, took the name, the word
assuming different spelling through the
low countries, reaching Spain as dol
lars, and through its provinces trans
mitted to the western hemisphere, where
it was applied to coins prior to the
adoption of the federal currency. In
coinage the word dollar is favorite
being found. under various spellings, in
almost every part of the globe.
