SEEING THINGS AT NIGHT.
Why Objects Assume Fantastic and
 Alarming Apuearance,

Every one must at times have ask ed himself why familiar objects in . dim light tend to assume fantastic and oftentimes alarming appearances.
 The explanation is to be found in the conditions/of night vision. The pupils are widely dilated and, as in the photographic lens with a large diaphragm, the apparatus of accom- modation can only focus for one plane. As the faculty of estimating distances is in great measure lost in the obscurity We cannot focus with precision, and a blurred uncertain outline is thrown upon the retina.
 Then. too, colors viewed in fad ing light lose theit distinguishing hue in a fixed sequence until point is reached at which everything be- comes one of uniform gray tint.
 It follows that the images which are transmitted to the visual centers are profoundly modified in color and outline. and as they enter the eye through the widely dilated pupil at an altogether unusual angle the movement of locomotion gives them  peculiar mobility.
 Now. one relies upon experience for the interpretation of sensorial i'm pressions, and when these present themselves suddenly in an unusual form they create feeling of lnse- eurity which finds expression in men, tai pertuberation and more or less violent motor impulsion. In fact the subject finds himself in the position of horse which sees a rapidly ad. yancing automobile for the first time and does not know what to make of it.
 Imagination adding. these blurred mobile and uncertain images are sus- eeptible of the most phantasmagoric interpretation, and in persons who are not accustomed to control senso- rial impressions are accepted as reali- ties and acted upon accordingly.
 Gamekeepers and others who are accustomed to night work make al- lowance for phenomena of this class and correct the visual deficiency by the aid of other senses. such as hear ing. which are not dependent on light.

NEW CHURCH OF ST THOMAS.
Dedication of Roman Catholic
 Church in Thomaston.

Thomaston, June With all the ceremony of the Roman Catho- lie church the new edifice of St Thomas the Apostle was dedicated to-day by Rt Rev Bishop M. Tierney of Hartford assisted by several priests of the diocese. From 9:45 a. m., when the doors were opened for the first time to the public, un- til long after the service had started there was steady influx of parish toners, invited guests from the ranks of the non-Catholics and friends from neighboring towns who assembled to assist in an event that will ever be memorable to the de- vout Catholics of Thomaston. Pre- cisely at 10:30 o'clock the process sion, escorting the bishop and led by "A acolytes, emerged from the sanctuary and moved slowly through the center aisle to the main en- trance, thence around the edifice. chanting the offices of the dedica- tion.
 On returning to the church the procession again continued the march through the different aisles and the early ceremony ended with the commencement of solemn high mass of which Rev Eugene O'Con- nell of Tariffville was celebrant, Rev Robert Barley of New Haven was deacon and Rev James Frederick of Waterbury was sub-deacon. Among the priests who assisted in the ceremony were Fathers Neafe of Terryville, Brennan of Lakeville, Nihill and McElroy of Bridgeport, Barry of Torrington, Keena or Bristol, Coyle of New Haven, Me- Gurk of South Manchester, Synnott of Ansonia, Traynor of Waterville, SkeIly of Litchfield, O'Brien, Crow lev and Curtin of Waterbury and Rev pr Fitzgerald of Ansonia.
 Rev William O'Brien Pardow, s. J., of St Ignatius church, New York, was the speaker at the morning serv- ice and his sermon, taken from the text. Now, therefore, you are no more strangers but brethren of the household of God, resting upon the foundation of the apostles-Jesus Christ being. the chief cornerstone from the first epistle of St Paul to the Ephesians, was one or the strongest ever listened to by any congregation in this town or vicin- ity. Father Pardow is classed among the very best orators in the country to-day and the impression made by him on his Thomaston au- ditors was entirely in keeping with his reputation.
 The sermon at the evening yes pers service was delivered by Rev I. c. Brennan of Lakeville and the reverend father held the close atten- ton by his eloquence of an audience that taxed the capacity of the new church.

NEW LIGHT ON HEREDITY.
Interesting Conclusions of Dutch Physicians.

Some interesting data relating to the transmission of hereditary traits have been collected by two Dutch physicians, Doctors Heymans and Wiresma. The investigations which have covered a considerable period of time, have been carried on with the cooperation of more than 5000 other Dutch doctors, each of whom undertook to transmit to the inves- tigators complete studies of the characteristic traits of all children visited professionally. The follow ing conclusions have been recorded, 1t being promised, on the evidence of numbers presumably, that the abil- ity to coordinate thought and give expression to it rapidly was in most instances inherited from the father.
 Forty-four per cent of the sons of mathematically minded men, includ- ing scientists, inherited the love of and aptitude for science from their fathers, and only IA per cent of the daughters of such men. In the case of mothers who were devoted to scientific pursuits 100 per cent of the sons inherited the gift, and not one among the girls.
 Girls showed a distinct tendency 10 copy any rowing disposition which existed in the mother. the boys fol- lowing in the fathers footsteps in respect to either a rowing or a sta- tionary disposition.
 The gift of clever talk and as- surance in company, as we'll as the quality of self-study or self-criti- cism, was shown to come in every case in bo h boy and girl from the father. never from the mother.
 All traits which gave evidence of good nature or sensitiveness were to be referred to the influence of the father. very rarely of the mother. Tendencies toward foibies or crime were to he ascribed almost wholly to the father. In the case of mel aneholIa. dementia. epilepsy and im- beciIity the fathers influence pre- vailed in at least go per cent of cases.
 Strangely enough to record. inter est in sports. such as cycling. skat- ing. hunting. fishing and parior games. came almost invariably from the mother. likewise the tendency to be very neat In dress On the other hand. punetillo In affairs of business and honor was ascribed en- tirely to the fathers side
