TYPE AND THE EYES.

Psychological Experiments by Experts
That Arc Of Interest to Readers.
Mr.. Franz. university fellow in psyohol-
ogy at Columbia, and DR.. Harold Griffng
made number of experiments In the psy-
Geological laboratory on the legibility of
different kinds of type. Many experiments
have heretofore been made showing that
one particular kind Of type was more legi-
bio than another, but Mr.. Franz and DIR.
Grifdng are the first to measure with sol
entifio accuracy just how much more legi-
BILE one kind of type ID than another. More
than that they are investigating in the
same way the conditions most favorable
for reading. This includes not only the
type its size and quality, but the paper,
its color and quality, and the illumination.
Tests have been made of the speed with
which given amount Of printed matter
could be read and the amount that could
be read in given time. The types used
were point, the ordinary newspaper type,
and II point, the ordinary magazine type.
1t was found that the IL point could be
read about 30 per cent faster than the 8
point and about s5 per cent more could be
read in given time. Words and phrases
were shown behind q falling screen for
one twentieth of o second and the amount
read noted. The same results were OBJ
tained. All the experiments were made
with 10 different persons, in order to be
sure that none of the results was personal.
1t was found that point leaded could
be read as easily as 0 point solid and when
the point was spaced 1t was about the
same as II point not spaced.
Experiments were made with colored
and tinted papers and, of course, the deep
or the color the longer it took to read a
given amount Of printed matter. No diff
ference In time could be found between
glazed and ordinary paper, but the glazed
paper reflects the light and thus fatigues
the eye.
The tests showed that with the same
amount of illumination there was no diff
ference between daylight and artificial
light. We rarely get, however, the same
amount of illumination from artificial
light as from daylight, since the intensity
Of ordinary daylight is about 1000 candle
power ard that of an ordinary gas Jet 20

manently for the coming campaign. M.

astic speech on the great issues of the
coming campaign and then called atten-
tion to the big ratification meeting to be
held in Los Angeles next Saturday even
ing.
On motion Of Mr.. Rowan a committee
was appointed to arrange for Redondo
to be represented.
The meeting then resolved itself into
q good old-time Democratic love feast.
Major w. r. Burke Of Los Angeles was
called upon and delivered q rousing
speech. He commented upon the per-
sonnel Of the ticket with warm approv-
al and then entered into a strong argu-
ment in favor Of the rejuvenated Demo-

5ournment was taken until Friday even
ing.
Redondo will out-do all its former ef-
forts next Sunday in the way of giving
free amusement to its visitors by hav-
ing an old-fashioned Mexican barbecue.
At the meeting Of the Attraction asso-
citation last night plans for giving the
barbecue were perfected and 1t was de-
cided to provide generous feast free Of
cost to all who come to the beach next
Sunday. No effort will be spared to
make the day memorable as one of the
best ever spent at this pleasant resort
The swimming carnival given by the
guests of the Hotel Redondo at the warm
water plunge last night was a most en-
joyable affair. Over thirty persons were
present and they made the place merry
with their splashing and shouts Of
laughter. Mr.. Crank, proprietor of the
hotel, sent down three Of his musicians

showed some little Improvement, but
nothing extraordinary. The water was
struck about week ago at the depth
of eighty feet and as soon as the ar
rangements for keeping 1t pumped out
were perfected the work of sinking was
resumed. This was three or four days
ago. Yesterday morning an assay was
made by Mr.. Stevens, from rock taken

Lon Davis has just returned from a
trip through Frazier and Bunker hill
and Ventura counties corner. He went
over there to look at mine and took
a general survey Of mines and mining
affairs in that locality. Il was sur
prised on arriving there" he said. The
country was alive with miners and
of mines, too, and If they are going to
be anything at all they are going to pro-
duce lots of gold, for the ore which is be-
ing struck Is almost boundless in guam
tity. The only mine in that vicinity that
was ever worked to any extent is the
Frazier and millions have been taken
out OF 1t. The Bunker hill mine, in which
Menzies and Lomax were killed, appears
to be the most promising inasmuch
as 1t Is more developed than any of the
latter discoveries, 1t is in bond to some
New York men who apparently have
plenty of money. They expected to
ship five tons today to San Francisco
from Lancaster and If it turns out any,

pose to put up hig mill of their own
and go to work or large scale. They
now have a tunnel 300 feet"

be good claim. 1t has six-foot ledge.
He says that is fine country with plen-
ty or water 1t Is about sixty miles from

The movement to establish a county
mining bureau in San Bernardino is
being energetically pushed and will no
doubt be crowned with success. Prac-
t1cal business men realize that an ex-
hfbit such as would be made by prop
erly conducted mining bureau would be
a most potent agency for the develop
ment of the resources of the county,
as probably no other section of the world
contains such varied and high-grade
mineral deposits. Fred. T. Perris, chief
engineer of the Santa Fe, Is now engaged
in preparing maps of the mining dis
tricts. which will give more complete
information in this regard than has here
tofore been tainable.-Citrograph.
Notes
It Is stated that most of the ground
within five or six miles of Randsburg,
Kern county. has been staked off.
The output Of the De Lamar mines,
New, for the month of June was S155 900,
with the mill running at only three
quarters of its capacity
Not long ago a miner was killed at
Mercur, Utah, while standing at the
mouth Of 300-foot tunnel after light
ing a fuse for blast. He thought he
was safe. but the shot threw rock
straight out of the tunnel, striking him
on the body and killing him.
All the towns along the Mother Lode
of California are now more prosperous

PcOFuar! =, 1915, an act was passed
TO authorize the coinage of the stand
ard silver dollar and 20 restore Its legal
tender character" Under that act there
were coined 57S,1G6,T93 silver dollars,
Under the act OF February ~, 1857.
for the re-coiainG OF the trade dollars,
there was an additional coinage OF
5,VIS.iT2 silver dollars.
As silver still continued TO fall In
price, the passage Of the act OF July Il.
1890. was procured. II required the gov
eminent 10 purchase 4.50o,eoo ounces OF
silver month which Il was estimated
would take. care OF the entire production
OF American mines. Under this law the
government bought and withdrew from
the market more silver bullion than our
mints could have handled, II they had
done nothing but coin silver dollars. 80
that II provided more extensive alb
sorption OF silver than would have been
possible with free coinage. Senator
Jones, OF Nevada, predIcted that the
law would advance silver to par with
gold. A speculative movement in which
congressman are said TO have particle
pated did carry the price OF silver from
VIZ to 81 l6 an ounce before govern
ment purchases began. The price Of sill.
yer under the operation OF the law OF
1890. was as follows. the quotations being
taken from the mint reports:
