F Last Monday was the SOth anniver-

younger men. Mr.. Poole has been do
ing legal business for nearly three
score of years and after his term of
office as high sheriff expires next De-
cember, he will probably be appointed
deputy by Edwin S. Ireland, the new

man but has no children and lives
quietly at his home in Dover, attending
to the business that comes his way
and always attending the sessions OF
the municipal and supreme courts.

Effect of Colored Light. on Nerves.

connection with the effect of certain
colors on the nervous system. And
people who have been somewhat scott

kindly regard themselves as forerun-

grave question arises as to how the

prescription OF an unbecoming color.
DR.. Dor, another experimenter. has
use of red lights, and relieved the
symptoms by changing the ray from
red to green. In the Photographic es-
tablishment OF Messrs. Lumiere In

prepared always by green lights. For

workmen sang and gesticulated at

II may be noted that while the pro-
fessors are disputlng as to the COM
mercial utility of lic.id air as pow
CT, the main engine work of the world
Is still done by steam. Electricity came
long before liquid air. II has been
put to commercial uses for twenty
years. and immense advances have
been made in its production and appli-
cation. Yet the extent to which ii
has actually superseded steam as an
applied power is really trivial-and
there is steam engine behind every
current of electricity that is put to
commercial uses. Within few special
lines electricity is practicable as an
agency for distributing the power
originally generated in steam engine;
but the day when steam shall cease
to be the driving power of the world
seems to be as far off as ever.

build tubular tunnel from shore to

Of a suitable foundation, this tube must
be suspended or fioated below the sur
