The MEASURE Of Liqht.

In order to understand the measure
ment Of light as to quantity IL Is nec-
essary to study the measurement OF IL
Elimination. Taking the candle as the
standard light source and considering
the horizontal rays only, the intensity
of the illumination which II can pro-
duce will depend upon the distance OF
the surface from the flame. At one
foot distance a surface in vertical po-
stion--that Is, perpendicular to the
rays-will have a certain brilliancy or
intensity At two feet distance the
surface will have, according to the
law of inverse squares, one-quarter the
intensity. at three feet one-ninth OF
the intensity, and so on. To obtain
unit or Intensity, therefore, it Is neces-
sary to use a unit of distance In con.
nection with the standard light source
When the English system Of measure.
ment is used one foot Is taken for the
unit distance-that Is, the illumination
produced on a surface one foot from
the candle is taken as the unit and Is
called foot candle" An iliumina.
ton of two foot candles is then the
illumination produced upon surface
by two candles at a distance OF ons
foot.-Engineer.

WILL BE SAME OLD STORY.
1T is CLAIMED THERE WILL BE
VERY FEW PEOPLE LEFT IN
TOWN ON THE GLORIOUS HoL-
IDAY.

At council Monday evening, Coun-
Gilman Deuker suggested that the city
assist in a financial manner in having
a big. rousing Fourth of July celebra-
there had been no celebration along
this line for years and he thought the
time had arrived for such an outburst
of patriotism Mr.. Deuker's sugges-
ton met with very flat reception.
His suggestion to have the fire depart
ment turn out for an exhibition run
and drill was met with derisive grins.
His statement that such a celebration
would keep Richmond people home on
the Fourth. was met with more grins.
Mr. Deuker's enthusiasm was squelched
by the following bucket of cold wateer
heaved by Councilman Brown: mo use
of having a celebration here on the
Fourth. There will not be enough peo-
pie in town to pick two good ball
teams. The town will be too dry on
that date and people won't want to stay
here"
An ordinance transferring 800 from
the extra policemen fund to the city
physicians account, was passed. Coun-
Gilman Deuker was informed that the
board had not considered paving
North Third and North ID streets. He
said that this being the case, he would
not introduce a remonsrrance. Coun-
Gilman Brown stated that the weeds
had overgrown the sidewalk on South
Fifth street, near the dump.

of the eighth. Fisher was in the box
for the visitors and was in the best OF
form. only one hit having been made

that inning, when the locals came to
bat, the first man up drew his base,
thanks to his Jumps. He stole second

third, although Ritter through him out

ter made the throw on a single by the
second man up. The next man struck
out. Jessup dropping the ball, but
cleanly throwing the man out to Cam

safe. A hard smash then cleaned the
bags. 1t was at this juncture that
Raber was forced to retire under fire.
Three more runs followed after Ra

TWINS Ever Thus

Just as the train was pulling out Of
the station breathless conmuter
swung himself upon the platform OF
the last car Mt a station some thirty
minutes from New York. He carried
a green cloth bag, such as is affected
by young lawyers, and one large vol.
ume of an encyclopedia was under
his arm.
He sank into a seat and, with deep
sigh, opened the book. He lost no time
in finding his place, but he seemed far
from satisfied. Soon he turned In great
evaporation to his neighbor and re
marked:
Now, wouldn't that jar you? I've
been paying for this encyclopedia for
the past two years and never had coca.
sion to use it before. A new client, a
big tanner, is going to call on me this
morning and / wanted to read up the
subject OF tanning before I reached the
city. So / snatched the volume with
the letter 7 while eating breakfast and
incidentally ran five blocks to catch my
train. Look for the word tanning
there it is. But that is all that Is
there. Just take a look at that!' he
exclaimed. pointing TO this simple
legend:

the past few days grocers in this city
