To Save Our Eyes.

There is a Biblical Injunction
against hiding our flight under q
bushel." Yet it is probable that in
short time nearly everyone who has
gas or electricity for lighting will be
literally covering the source of light
with a metal shade that looks very
much like small bushel measure.
For several years, lighting experts and
more particularly specialists in eye
troubles have decried the evil effects
upon the eye of the direct rays from
our modern brilliant light sources.
This has been made more evident by
the introduction and general use OF
the new high candle-power metallic
ilament incandescent lamps. There
have, therefore, been many attempts
TO devise a method Of interior illumina-
ton by which the rays are reflected
once at least before reaching the eye.
There is a considerable number of in
stallations in which this indirect IL
Elimination" is applied in different

being that in which the light is hidden
behind brackets around the edge of the
room and reflected towards the cell
ing. 1t has been very limited in appli-
cation owing to the loss, or absorption
OF light by the rejecting surfaces, ex-
plains the Technical World Magazine,
but where the expense is not consid-
cred, very pleasing results we're pro-
duced. Recent developments have
been made that probably mark an
epoch in interior lighting and will
make indirect illumination a very gen.
eral system. In order to make this
method commercially available, that is,
bring it within the reach of the man of
ordinary means, two things were nee
essary.

The ordinary run of American
poesy is. steadily improving, and at a
rate quite reasonable in the long his
tory Of literature, where a thousand
stanzas are as a single line in the sight
OF the muse. Take a hundred maya
zines dated within the decade, ex-
claims the New York Post, pick their
best ten poems, and you will see how
lucky the singers of our old sub
colonial school were to be born early.
But the tide has run strongest along
the coast OF Bohemia; in our colleges
1t has long seemed to be ebbing. Not
even that noble immaturity which
often appears in undergraduate prose
has made itself felt in much under
graduate verse. Football, bere, fresh
men and eccentric professors are the
stock themes of 95 per cent of such
illusions. while the remaining five per
cent. are college widows or bur-
lesquers on Horace.

No other medicine for woman's ills

For more than 80 years it has been

Inflammation, liberation, local weak

periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is

had taken to the country for an outing.
Out sailing later, Van Brunt, Pratt and
Hopper were wrecked in a squat. Pratt
two revealed an island upon which they
were found. Van Brunt rented it from
Scudder and called 1t Ozone island. In
