yellow Glass Test for Gun Sights.

The United States army is going TO
make experiments with yellow tinted
glass in gun sights and field glasses,
based upon the favorable comment
which has greeted the innovation in
armies in Europe, says Fort Riley
Kan.) dispatch to the Kansas City
Star. The ordnance department has
been the first to take the matter up
and is already fitting range finders
with this colored glass. The signal
corps has already announced its inten-
ton of experimenting with helo
glasses. Experiments in the Russian
army have shown that batteries using
the yellow tinted glass have made
about one-third more hits in practice
than those using sights without the
yellow glasses. 1t is said in favor or
this color that it gives a softer light
to the eyes, especially in a brilliant
sunlight, and even in cloudy weather
or twilight the object fired at can be
seen plainly without straining the eyes.

SUBSTITUTE FOR SUGAR.
New Plant of Remarka bic Sweet
ening Qualities.

The agricultural department at
Washington is ihquiring into the state
ment of Consul General Richard Guen-
Their that a new plant has been discov-
cred in South America which promises
to supplant the sugar cane and the
sugar beet, says the New York Times.
Scientifically the plant is known as the
Eupatorium rebandium, and it con-
tains a large amount of saccharine
matter and a high percentage of nat
ural sugar properties which are easy
to extract.
According to Mr.. Guenther, a lump
the size of a pea will sufficiently sweet
en- a cup of coffee, as the product made
from the plant is from twenty to thirty
times sweeter than cane or beet sugar.
1t is said to be easily cultivated in
countries having climatic conditions
similar to those of the southern por-
ton of the United States.
