There is still the attitude of master

in which husband and wife OF well
regulated japanese family address each

band uses her first name with more or
less of a command in connection with
what he has to say, while in his wife's
communications to him, Sir" or my

aud manner she would use to her eld-
ers. The good wife is always dressed
before her husband In the morning.
Then, immaculate in attire and smiling
in countenance, she must, if there are
not the necessary servants, perform the

with pipe. tobacco and matches; then
later. still smiling, a cup Of tea and the

The new Dawson-Lauder sunshine
recorder consists of drum on which
silver chloride paper is fastened under
a film of celluloid. An outer cover Is
rotated by clockwork in twenty-four
hours. and a narrow slit Is thus direct
ed to the sun. A hood protects the slit
from diffused light and allows an error
of about half all hour in the clock be-
fore sunlight is cut off from the slit.
The drum with the sensitive paper
travels along the axis of the cylinder.

THE FOURTH DIMENSION.
pIato's Early Efforts to Define fni'
Intangible Quality.

In ITorper's Magazine c. II. Hinton
writes on the much debated question
of .'rhe Fourth Dimension In open
ing his article he cites Plato as I'LL
early exponent of this idea.
plato. at the beginning OF the sew
onth book of the Republic, describes
cot of prisoners who are held in chains
before the mouth of great cavern
hound so that they cannot turn thei'
faces in any other direction than look
inc straight into the cavern.
con the wall in which the cavern
onds they see their shadows projected
hv the sun. Their only experience OIL
objects is derived by watching these
shadows. If passers by traverse the
roadway behind them all they see Is
the shadows of these passers by Oh the
wall If an object strikes them what
thev see is the shadow Of that OBJECT
striking the shadows of themselves.
"Plato draws the conclusion that they
would identify themselves with their
shadows. Since events occurring among
those shadow forms are the invarlaOle
commandments of all their sensations
they would think that they themselves
were those shadows and lived ana
moved in a shadow world
'Now the shadows can only move OIL
the surface of the wall. They cannon
approach and recede from it; hence th'
prisoners think of themselves as nav
ing a two dimensional existence only
And. says Plato, as these prisoners
think of themselves as less than they
really are, so we in our turn think o
ourselves as less than we really are
