How One Eued Giants Saw.
By CHARLES BARNARD.

The ancients believed that there once
lived a giant having only one eye. Te
such a creature many things would ap-
pear to be fiat. and he could not tell
whether they were round or square.
Draw on paper two squares. one in
side the other. and join the corners to-
gether by four diagonal lines.
In looking at this figure we cannot
tell whether we are looking into a
square tunnel or looking down upon
the top OF a pyramid. Such a figure
gives no Idea OF projection. To a crea-
ture having only one eye many things
would appear as fat and uninteresting
as this diagram.
We see the form Of things because we
have two eyes and by the aid OF shad-
ows. Draw the table up to the window
and pull the shade down to within foot
OF the table and darken all the windows
in the room. Take sheet OF stiff. white
notepaper. folded in the middle. Set
this UP en- edge, like a screen. on the
table. with one side toward the window.
Sit at the table. facing the folded edge
of the screen. We see both sides and
observe that one side Is brightly light
ed and the other is in shadow. Take u
Sueet Oh paper Dy III INCHES anu TOil
II up to make a paper tube one inch
in diameter and twelve inches long
Slip an elastic over it to keep 1t in
shape. Now, sitting about two feet from
the screen. look through the tube with
the right eye. and. closing the left
eye, hold the tube in such a position
that the sharp edge of the screen ap-
pears to be opposite the middle CT the
tube. We see now. figure that ap-
pears to be one-half very bright and
one half very dark. The screen is plain
ly projected forward, yet each side ap-
pears to be much fatter than when we
looked at 1t with both eyes. By raising
the tube to the top of the screen We
see that it is something that has two
sides. Holding the tube opposite the MD
die of the screen It appears to be al
most Hat. Then. while still looking
through the tube. open the other eye,
and this illusion disappears and we have
a sense of projection.
Set the screen On the table about
three feet from the window. and with the
edge to the light. One side now appears
to be very nearly as bright as the other.
the tube it appears to be al
mcst fat. like vertical sheet Of paper
with bright line in the middle. Then
carefully move the darkes: half of the
screen forward, and after few trials
a place will be found where there is
Just as much light On the one side cs

down the sides of the glass.
Thus the wir1 will gently creep to-
ward the brims OF the two larger glasses,

continuing its descent under the action
of gravity. we shall see 1t creeping up

on the other. and then. through the
tube. 1t appears to be perfectly fiat and
We seem to be looking at sheet Of
paper hung up before the tube. Open
the other eye and we are surprised at
the difference between an"ob1ect equally
lighted on all sides (like our diagram)
seen with one eye and with two. After
dark set III the screen on the dining
room table. Light two candles and place
one on each side Of the screen. Put
out other lights and examine the screen
through the tube. One side is tribe
darker than the other. and we slowly
push the candle on the dark side nearer
the screen. A few trials will bring the
candle to just the right place, and then
the screen appears to besperfectly fiat.
Now. get a small oil lamp, light It and
put 1t in place of one of the candles
Put out the spare candle and examine
The Washington times., 1902-07-06

the screen through the tube. The side
next to the lamp Is now the brightest,
and we gently draw the lamp away from
the screen until. through the tube. the
screen again appears to he fat. Now
mca sure the distance Of the candle from
the ccreen. We find 1t Is. say, ten
inches. The lamp we find is twenty
inches from the screen. and We might
think it must be twice asEbright as the
candle. Light diminishes in brightness
rs the inverse square CT its distance, 81
the men of science would tell Us that
the lamp equals four candles. It is Il
fcur-candle power lamp. \ coE.mon oil
lamp has from ten 10 thirty candle

lamp and see If it is up to the standard
of sixteen-candle power, A We,sbach
light will have much more candle power.

NEW pEcATuR's PROSPERITY.
Some Interesting Data from Census
 Bureau Report.

New Decatur, March n.-(SpeciaD-A tabulated statement printed in memo rial to the Fifty-seventh Congress or the United States issued by the Tennessee River Improvement Association. shows that New Decatur leads all other towns in the Tennessee Valley as regards the value of her manufactured products. The report is based upon the United States IT. dustrial census of 1g0o and gives the following interesting figures: New De- catur's manufactured products are val ued at $4,S769l9. Huntsville comes next with value of $1,s80,46l, which shows that the manufactured products of New Decatur are $2,J96, 45S greater tnan those of Huntsville. The principal towns in the Tennessee Valley are Decatur, Florence, Huntsville. New Decatur, Sheffield and Tuscumbia The total valuation Of the manufactured products of all these towns exclusive of New Decatur Is $4.697, 492. This shows that the value of New De- catur products exceed those of Decatur. Florence, Huntsville. Sheffield and Tus- cumbfa by s173 427.
 Taking into consideration that New De- ,eatur is less than fifteen~yearsi old, this is indeed d most remarkable showing.
 An electric street car system and a new telephone system are almost a cer- tainty. It is also equally certain that two new Hires of railroad will be built within the next year. One line leads to the north and will open up rich timber and agricultural section, while the other is to be built to the southwest and passes through the richest iron and coal fields
