BRIEF REVIEW.
Experiments With Power of Light Flashes.

Experiments With Power of Light Flashes.
William A. Eddy, at Bayonne, n. j.,
has completed, in measure, his tests
of the rejecting power of mirror sun
flashes as compared with sunlit and
cloud-shaped snow. As result ct
recent experiments Eddy found that
mirror sun flashes were about fourteen
times as bright as cloud-shaped snow
and eight times as bright as sunlit
snow. Previous experiments showed
that sunlit snow was only about twice
as bright as snow Swallowed by clouds
of ordinary density. Eddy considers
these experiments important in that
they bear upon the visibility of army
signals from snow-capped mountain
peaks. The test of the relative light
ing powers was made by taking six
acknowledgement oil lamp held close
to sheet of paper, the center of which
had been made semi-transparent by OIL
The test was to see how near or far the
lamp had to be held to the paper before
its yellow glare was effaced by the
white glare caused by the sunlit snow
outside. Eddy thinks from these ex-
periments that it is highly improbable
that light flash seen from Mars at
Flagstaff, A. t., could have resulted
from the sudden lighting up with sun
rays or snow which had been previously
cloud Swallowed. He calculates that,
supposing the Martians to be using
mirrors to reflect the light, it would be
a stupendous undertaking to effect the
result described. 1t would require mir
rors, he calculated, covering over 100
square miles to produce the shaft of
light.

Old Soldiers to Colonize.

The founding of a great cooperative
agricultural colony of old soldiers, which
is expected to have a membership of
q 900 and to occupy large tract ofland
in Oklahoma, is the object of an organi-
zation, the articles for which are to be
filed. The corporation will include the
veterans of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and
South Dakota. The scheme is already
so far advanced that options have been
assured on $4,000 acres of land. A COM
mittee of seven will be in charge of the
colony, one from each state represented.
There is no expectation of profit by any
individual, it being provided that any
gains shall go into the general treasury
Ten thousand shares are issued at S25
each, and all have been taken by veter-
ans who want to improve their condi-
ton and secure homes in the new
country. 1t is the intention to lay out
a city in the center ofthe colony, which
will be established in the eastern part
of the territory. The rest of the land is
to be cut up into farms of areas easy to
handle. No member will be permitted
to hold less than five acres nor more
$50 acres. Alternate lots in the city
and tracts of land in the colony will be
held for future sale to desirable new
corners, the proceeds to go into COM
mon fund. Mr.. P. H. Fitzgerald, the
Indiana member of the committee, says
that most of the 2l,O00 prospective
members will be on the ground by De
cember next, preparing to improve
their property.

Thomas l. Gamble is having an arte-

Clealum depot and close to the Roslyn
coal mines. At 3S4 feet a stratum of
gaseous shale was struck, and lighted
match having been applied the gas ig-
nited. The flame shot up thirty feet,
and it was with difficulty that the open
ing of the well was closed and the flame
subdued. An inch pipe was connected
with the well and the gas coming from
it was ignited and has been burning
steadily. This and other evidence of
oil and gas are causing an oil boom in
Eastern and Western Washington, and
oil companies are beng incorporated

Blue Rays Found to Be Good Curative

DAuC R>dJS l OoAo W OC a OOOo Curative
Medical circles in New York are ex-
cited over the discovery of a young Rus
sian physician, NJ. Mimi, regarding
the curative properties of blue light.
Struck by common notion among
Russian peasantry that a sick person
on whom the sunlight falls through
blue glass feels relief from pain, Mimi
began an elaborate series of expert
ments, and he now publishes the result
in the leading medical journal of St.
Petersburg. Minin used an electric
light through various shades of blue
and violet glass. He demonstrated
that in particular classes of nerve dis
orders and in neuralgia of the face blue
rays alleviate acute pain. He also con-
Quoted successful experiments with
cases of internal hemorrhage. Minin
uses an ordinary sixteen-candle-power
10O-volt electric lamp, the light of
which falls through pieces of ordinary
blue glass. The length of time during
which the patient is exposed to the
light varies from ten to fifteen minutes.

Polly Larkin.

Sweeping is the bane of some house
keepers lives. They would rather wash
dishes than sweep, or even do days
washing and ironing, the latter being
mere child's play compared to the
sweeping that wears them out and
leaves them too tired to see the silver
lining to the cloud of dust they have
swept up from room to room. AS one
little housekeepef expressed it theother
day after the sweeping was over, "She
ached all over" 1t is no light mat
ter, Polly, to sweep our big house.
For various reasons 1 have mating on
several of the bedroom floors, namely,
for economy's sake, it is much cheaper
than the most ordinary ingram carpet
and wears better; it is more clearly, as
it can be wiped up every week, and
from that point of view is more health
full, to my mind; but | would rather
sweep brussels carpet any day than
mating or linoleum, which is almost
as bad. The dust sticks and rolls back
so you think you are through, and 10
and behold there lays fragments of
dust here and there all over the room.
When you have gone over it the second
and the third time and still those little
particles of dust continue to appear,
you begin to think pretty hard and the
pent up thoughts 1 am afraid would
not do to read at the annual report of
our missionary meetings for the good
sisters and brethren who never have to
WELD broom might think that home
missionaries to make house to house
canvass would be needed more than
foreign missions. Did you ever sweep
mating or linoleum-covered floor,
Polly? If you have you will under
stand my feelings. l don't believe 1
could ever do penance for the most I'M
heard of crime by sweeping, for my
heart would be so filled to overflow
ing with rebellious and uncharitable
thoughts that | would get into trouble
worse than ever. When l hear
woman say she likes to sweep I put her
down as hypocrite or the worst freak
it has been my lot to meet. No, don't
like sweeping, l abhor it and Pm not
martyr enough to the worthy cause of
housekeeping to pretend that l like it
and that 1 go about it cheerfully and
unmurmuringly. If | don't give out
ward expression to it I am like an in
ternal volcano, Tuning and fretting and
threatening to break out into explana-
tory words at any moment"

This is the way Polly managed it
when l lived in the country with a gar
den of my own filled with roses. In
the morning while the dew was yet on
the flowers, the girl, while the family
was yet at breakfast went out into the
garden with basket on her arm and
went from resebush to rosebush picking
all the fullblown roses that would have
scattered their velvety petals at the
first caress of the summer breeze. 1t
was good for the bushes to have the
full-blown flowers removed, and it was
good for the girl who enjoyed every
moment in the fresh air gathering the
flowers, and drinking in the fresh
crisp morning air. She would come in
with her cheeks rosy, her eyes bright
and the best kind of an appetite. Then
when she was ready for her sweeping
she went from room to room scattering
the fragrant, dewy petals. Whisk went
the broom and the velvety petals flew
almost as thick as the autumn leaves,
after Jack Frost has touched them with
his magic brush. There was no dust
and only the gentle rustic of the leaves,
as she swept them with little quick
flourishes over the room and finally
into the awaiting dustpan. How sweet
and clean the rooms were, too, and how
fragrant with the spicy odor of the dis
carded roses.
Amador ledger. (Jackson, Amador County, Calif.) 1875-19??, 1901-03-22

Roses are far too precious in city life
to be used in such an humble way, and
far too expensive as well. So a substi-
tute must be found. What do you
think it is? Nothing more or less than
old newspapers, torn into fragments
and soaked in a pan of water until
they are thoroughly wet, then squeezed
out and thrown lavishly over the car
pets be they brussels, ingram, mating
linoleum or painted floors. Then the
wielder of the broom gets in her deadly
work, the dirt just rolls into a little
heap, all the airiness of the dust is gone,
it can't float or roll for the damp paper
has just gathered it up, and if the paper
is well moistened all the flights of your
imagination cannot raise the atoms of
dust into the cloud you have dreaded.
There it lays, all the airiness taken out
of it, sullen, and a disguised looking
little heap of dirt to be gathered into
Amador ledger. (Jackson, Amador County, Calif.) 1875-19??, 1901-03-22

Dear me, thought Polly, she makes
sweeping harder than it ought to be, or
my names not Polly Larkin. 1t is the
little mounds of dust that roll back into
the corners and under the stoves and
chairs and sticks so affectionately and
clingingly to the rough ends of the
mating. She raises cloud of dust I
will warrant that bathes everything in
vail of gray, that is in itself enough
to stifie one and make anyone look
through somber glasses. There is no
need of that. 1t is so easy to avoid
this mantle of dust and keep it on the
floor where it belongs and not fill the
air and your lungs with the little par
ticles that eventually settle on every
object in the room, or manage to con-
gregate together and roll under the
stove and the chairs in obstinate little
piles that defy the broom to gather
them in by whisking off few inches
as though they were aiming to assist
you in developing your muscles and
learning you to cultivate a sweet and
lovable disposition under the most try
ing circumstances. 1t is so easy to
avoid all this if you only know how.

the dust-pan and burned, at least so it
looks to Polly.

One of the best little housekeepers
l know of, in the absence of rose leaves
and not an advocate of wet paper, uses
tea leaves. She saves the leaves from
every meal, and when sweeping day
comes moistens them, scatters them
over carpets and the broom does the
rest. Her home is always sweet, clean,
dainty and healthful and when men-
toned she says with one of her win
ming smiles, &c tea leaves, Polly, work
the charm of neatness and healthful-
nessD

their homes or cut to pieces by soldiers
after the latter had set fire to the
houses. Men, women and children
persisted in the flames. The Turks have
formed Gordon around the area of the
massacre and devastation and prevent
all efforts to ascertain the facts. The
Christians are fleeing from the regions
which the Turks have occupied.
