INVISIBLE LIGHT.
Only when 1t Strikes the Retina c
the Eye Can Ii BE Seen.

Only When 1t Strikes the Retina OF
the Eye Can Ii BE Seen.
What is the simplest demonstration
of the fact that light is invisible?
The blackness of a midnight sky
demonstrates this fact most readily.
We may see the planets of the moon
brilliantly Illuminated by the SUMS
rays, but the surrounding space is
dark, although we know that light
must be passing there.
The passage of beam of light
through a darkened room is only visi-
BILE on the dust in the air, and the cone
of light seen when the sun shines
through small hole in a shutter is
not visible, but only light reflected
from the notes in the beam. This can
be easily and simply demonstrated by
placing in the beam a glass vessel
from which the dust has been carefully
removed. The beam then may be seen
before and after entering the vessel,
but is invisible within. A Bunsen
burner or redhot poker held so as to
destroy the notes will also render the
beam invisible at that spot
Light is only visible when it strikes
on the retina of the eye, and it can
only do SO when it reaches it in a di-
rect line or is turned by reflection or
refraction into a direct line. Just as
the bullets from a gun do a man no
harm unless aimed or turned in their
course toward his body, so light is
without effect unless it is aimed or
turned toward the retina.-Pearson's

Advice.

The best advice that can be given
probably is: Take all the advice you
can get and then do as you please. The
successful person, or the one whom the
crowd counts successful, is being CON
stantly besicged with applications for
advice how to succeed. He is generally
incapable of giving it. The same ad-
vice, outside of few maxims gener-
ally applicable is seldom good for two
persons. Advice, as a rule, is cheap
and about as valuable as most cheap
things. To be constantly following ad-
vice without stopping to consider its
source is the plain mark of weakness.
1t is this trait Of weak human nature
which makes the business of the pat
ent medicine maker so profitable. The
person of power is the one who neither
gives nor takes advice in generous
quantities. The world would be better
off if advice were much less plentiful.
Then, perhaps, its quality might rise in
proportion to its scarcity.-New Lon
don Telegraph.

First Women on the English stage.

First Women on the English Stage.
1t is only with the restoration drama
that the annals of actresses ON the
English stage begin. Queen Henrietta
Maria, wife of Charles l., had early
made a vain attempt to introduce the
French fashion of female players into
her adopted country by the establish
ment Of French company composed
only of women in London. But the ex-
pertinent was premature, and the for
eigners were Kissed and pelted off the
stage at their first performance.
Until 1860 the female parts had al
ways been taken by boys, and the Gus
tom survived even after women had
taken their place upon the stage, since
some Of the more famous of the boy
actors grown into mem continued oc-
casionally to play their favorite roles
as late as the end of the seventeenth
century. Kynaston, the chief boy actor,
survived till 1899, long after the ladies
had ousted him from the principal
parts, and in 1861 Pepys, who saw him
in the "Sil Woman" speaks Of him
as "the liveuest lady for boy" he had
ever seen.

THE judgment rendered by Judge
Davis in favor OF Graham county
in the Manuel Leon back salary
case, was certainly a victory for
the people. Leon was recorder
for the county during 1895 and
1896, and sued the county for
$4,000 salary that he claimed was
due him. The Classification Act
enacted by the Legislature in 1895
reduced Graham county's class
and therefore reduced the salary
Of the officers. Mr.. Leon is the
second republican official, who held
Office at that time, to sue the coun-
ty for back salary. Wiley E..
Jones, who was district attorney
at that time, in order that he
would not be disqualified to defend
the oounty's interests against these
suits, reIinquished to the county
any claim that he might have to
back salary and he has followed
these cases ever since. He repre-
sented the county before Judge
Davis at Tucson when the Leon
case was tried.

VESTS TRIBUTE TO THE DOG.
Remarkable Speech the Missouri
Senator Once Made 10 a Jury.

One of the most eloquent trib
utes ever paid to the dog was de,
livered by Senator Vest of Mis-.
souri, some years ago He was
attending court in country town,
and while waiting for the trial of
the case in which be was inter
ested. was urged by the attorneys
in q dog case to help them.
Voluminous evidence was in
troduoed to show that the defend
ant had shot the dog in malice,
while other evidence went to show
that the dog had attacked defend
ant. Vest took no part in the
trial and was not disposed to
speak. The attorneys, however,
urged him to speak. Being thus
urged, he arose, scanned the face
of each juryman for "a moment, and
said:
"Gentlemen of the jury: The
best friend man has in the world
may turn against him and become
his enemy. His son or daughter
that he has reared with loving
care may prove ungrateful. Those
who are nearest or dearest to us,
those whom we trust with our
happiness and our good name, may
become traitors to their faith.
Hhe money that a man has he may
lose. 1t flies away from him, per-
maps When he needs it most. A
mans reputation may be sacrificed
in a moment of ill-considered ac-
tion. The people who are prone
to fall on their knees to do us
honor when success is with us,
may be the first to throw the stone
of malice when failure settles its
cloud upon our heads.
"The one absolutely unselfsh
friend man can have in this selfish
world, the one that never deserts
him, the one that never proves un-
grateful or treacherous, is his dog.
A mans dog stands by him in
prosperity and in poverty, in
health and in sickness. He will
sleep on the cold ground, where
the wintry winds blow and the
sncw drives fercely, if only he
may be near his masters side. He
will kiss the hand that has no
food to offer; he will lick the
the wounds and sores that come in
encounter with the roughness of
the world. He guards the sleep of
his pauper master as if he were
prince. When all other friends
desert he remains. When riches
take wings and reputation falls to
pieces, he is as constant in his love
as the sun in its journeys through
the beavcns.
eff fortune drives the master
forth an outcast in the world,
friendless and homeless, the faith
full dog asks no higher privilege
than that of accompanying him, to
guard against danger, to fight
against his enemies. And when
the last scene of all comes, and
death takes the master in its en-
brace, and his body is laid away
in the cold ground, no matter if all
other friends pursue their way,
there by the graveside will the
noble dog be found, his head be-
tween his paws, his eyes sad, but
open in alert watchfulness, faith
ful and true, even in death.
Then Vest sat down. He had
spoken in a low voice without
gesture. He made no reference to
the evidence or the merits of the
case. When he finished judge
and jury were wiping their eyes.
The jury filed out, but soon enter
ed with a verdict of $500 for the
plaintiff whose dog was shot; and
it was said that some of the jurors
wanted to hang the defendant.

TOWNE ON IMPERIALISM,

Hon. Charles A. Towne, who
represented bis state, Minnesota
in the house Of congress as re-
publican and in the senate subse-
quently as a democrat, made a
speech in New York recently OF
which the following is part, and
it is worth reading twice:
"At the same instant of time
Spanish tyranny was intolerable
in two hemispheres. Against it
Cubans were in armed revolt at
our very doors. Against it Fill
pinos were in armed revolt half
way around the world Each
sought national independence, and
we knew it Fellow citizens,
when the inquisition of after ages
shall arraign us at the bar of his
tory, who shall answer the ques
tion; Why was war
for the freedom of one people
changed into a war for the subjuga-
tion of another peopleY You ac'
cepted the services Of the Filipinos
in conquering the Spanish; you
gave them arms and ammunition;
you put them in your trenches;
you let them fight for you, bleed
for you, die for you; you know
they thought your object to be the
independence of the Philippine
islands; why, when the fleet of
your common enemy was sunk
deep in Manila bay, did you turn
your guns on your allies and sub
stitute your own for Spanish rule
when they were equally opposed
to both?
"Why did you denounoe as
traitors millions of people not born
under your jurisdiction and who
had never vowed your allegiance?
How can the descendants of the
American revolution purchase the
bodies, the country and the al
legiauce of ten millions of unwill-
ing people for twenty millions of
dollars? If you had already got
them by right of conquest, why
did you pay twenty millions of
dollars for them? Why did you
not treat the Filipinos as you
treated the Cubans2
"Ah! Americans, these questions
cannot be answered consistently
with our national character aud
honor. We must not, indeed, leave
them to be asked by future genera
tions. We must set ourselves
right while yet there is time, We
who have done the wrong must re-
pair it. We must not substitute
for the old American ideas the
tawdry and barbaric standards of
the outworn civilizations, We
must not barter the moral leader.

COLD WEATHER FORCES
MANY TO ASK CHARITY
Most Demands Made Are for Fuel.
as Christmas Supplied Poor
with Food and Clothes.

The present cold snap has been the cause
of frequent calls by the poor of the city
upon the charity organizations for fuel.
The institutions have been able to satisfy
all the demands that have been made upon
them. Charles S. GrOut, secretary of the
Charity Organization Society, reported last
night that the society had received a great
many calls for fuel. He thought that the
reason he did not receive many calls for
food was due to the fact that the poor
were well provided for on Christmas day
and probably had enough provisions to las.
them yesterday. At the Friendly Inn there
were also many demands for wood and
COAL and the fuel was distributed as fast
as the calls came in. There is still large
supply left. The Salvation Army and the
Volunteers of America also gave valuable
assistance to the destitute.
The superintendent of the Home Heating
and Lighting Company said last night that
his company had given better service TO
its patrons yesterday than it had given
since the plant was started. Water at 205
and 210 degrees was driven through the
companys mains and many of it's patrons
telephoned TO the plant that the service
was excellent. The Merchants Heat and
Light Company was also prepared for the
cold snap, and its patrons found their
buildings very comfortable all day. Both
companies say that they will be able to
serve their patrons satisfactorily during
the entire winter unless some unforeseen
accident happens.

A factory for the making of corn-meal
mush-plain, old-fashioned mush, the kind
like mother used TO make-is one of the
novelties among Indianapolis industries
This factory turns out over ton of mush
every day and has a demand for more, but
it's capacity is equal to the task of turning
out more. 1t is the pioneer of its kind in
this city and perhaps the only one of its
kind in the country.
Seven or eight years ago Cyrus w. Jack
son. 1920 Oakland avenue, began TO make
mush over his wifes kitchen fire and to
neddIe il from house TO house. His wife
and children helped him in the making of
the corn-meal product. 1t struck the pop

A year ago last summer Mr.. Jackson built
a little factory for his mush business in the
rear OF his house on Oakland avenue. In a

which was torn down to make room for a
larger one. The larger one Is now too small
for the mush business and Will probably

manufacture OF mush and three others are
employed TO drive the Jackson delivery
