The Magic Mirror.

The ''magic mirror" Of Japan Is a
disk of bronze, usually from six inches
to eight inches In diameter. 1t is sill
vered on the front. which Is little con-
vex. and there is a raised pattern on
the back which is rather concave. The
polished pattern is generally a land
scape. flowers, animals or Chinese
characters. This is not visible in the
front of the mirror, but when strong
sunlight Is reflected from the front Of
the mirror to a wall or screen the pat
tern of the back is visible on the screen
in bright lines on black ground. The
true scientific explanation of this mag
ical effect seems to be that the design
on the back alters the conyexity of the
front, making 1t nat along the lines Of
the pattern. so that the, light reflected
from the front Ia not dispersed at these
points Of the design, and they appear
brighter on the screen.

was to be heard on every side.

BEST IN THE WORLD.
Eritisher Praises Build and Bearing of
Our Soldiers.

Washington. July 6.-The military ap-
pearance Of the American soldier was
a surprise to George Y. Winter who
came from London on invitation Of the
war department to design certain i'm
provements in the uniforms of the SER
vice which would bring them in line
with the acknowledged superior fit and
make up of the British uniforms.
THE American soldier has the best
build and bearing in the world de-
clared Mr.. Winter on the eve of his
departure for New York.
L thought Tommy Atkins was the
best in line. SO an surprised at what
have seen here. While the American
soldier is not so beefy as the Britisher,
he is smarter and better set up. He
Is the best looking soldier in the world.
Superior to the lighting men of Ger
many. France. or England. The only
Improvement in the uniforms is to give
him a better fit. giving full effect to
his fine qualities. "
The patterns submitted by Mr. Win
ter indicate numerous minor changes
in the uniforms but no radical depar-
ture from existing styles.
