Look it Up

A professor, who, when asked a
question, was in the habit of saying,
"Tbat's a very good point, indeed i;
look it up for yourself" was once
much disguised whit a student who
had failed to { ANSWER a very simple
question.
"Mr. Jones" SAID he, "I'm surpris-
ed that you, who are going to teach,
cannot answer such an elementary
question. Why, what would you do if
one of your pupils we're TO ask it?"
"Well, professor replied the other,
if such thing had happened before
I came here I'm afraid would have
said plainly that didn't know: but
now think I'd do just as you do, and
say: Look it up, my boy, LOOK it up. :"

He used to say, How | wonder that
men can consent to swelter and fret
their lives away amid those hot bricks
and pestilent vapors when the woods
and fields are so near"
Eut the bit of woodland on the bank
of the Hudson was not the real home
of the naturalist. He was an ideal
man of the woods and roamed the
country in search of bird types TO
paint from nature. In his day the
American forests were tfack.ess, and
he had to share them with the Indian,

A New Theory of the Value of Light.

A New Theory of the Value of Light.
In a recently published work on the
effects of light upon the human race
Major Charles E. Woodruff, surgeon
in the United States army, attacks
some long harbored notions about liv-
ing in light and in darkness. He says:
We are the only people who have gore
daft on the subject of admitting streams
OF powerful light into schoolrooms and
nurserieS-far more than is necessary to
see well. We are apt to seat the children
80 that the light glares right into their
faces, and then we wonder why they de-
velop sore eyes. We are now daft on the
subject of letting the light stream into the
living rooms and consequently suffer from
all kinds of nervous effects wholly I'M
known to our ancestors. who were so
careful to keep the blinds closed and the
houses darkened. 1t is the duty of the
pediatrists to find out how much of the
curious modern nervousness of children is
due to excessive stimulation of the light
baths of the nursery pera,nbulator or
schoolroom. They will find why so many
children come home from school daily with
headache and an attack of nerves"
According to Major Woodruff, ami
mails live in darkness. as rule, and
man thrives best out of the light.
Thirty years ago General Alfred Pleas

windows and believed that he discov-
cred therein a panacea for nervousness
