USES TELEPHONES.
Burlington to Move Trains by Phone
Orders.

More than week ago the Burling-
ton finished equipping it's main line
west of Lincoln to Hastings with tele-
phones for dispatching. Now every
main line train on the Lincoln division
of the Burlington is dispatched by tel
ephone. On the Wymore division tele-
phones have been placed on the line
between Wymore and Red Cloud.
Gradually the system of telephone dis
patching is being extended and it is
predicted that within year every
main line train on the Burlington will
be moved by telephone orders. The
extension is also taking in some of the
branches, and in time it is said the
company will have displaced its tele-
graph system and substituted the
phone.
The use of wires for telephone
dispatching and message work does
not destroy their value for telegraphic
work. Many wires used for telephon-
ing also carry at the same time tele-
graphic service, without interfering in
the least with the telephoning.

SEEING UNDER WATER.
The Refraction of Light and the Linn
ting Angle of Vision.

The Refraction of Light and the Linn
ting Angle of Vision.
One of the most peculiar things in
connection with life under water Is
what is known as the limiting angle OF
vision. This applies to fishes, divers,
submarine crews and, in fact, any be
ing possessing the power of sight and
desiring to look through the water at
objects IN the air. The effect is not
due to defect in vision. but to the re-
fraction or bending of light, and ne
telescope or other optical instrument
can get around it. Tslseaua.aas,---.-
The effect consists of the impossible
ity Of seeing anything on the outside
unless the observer directs his line of
sight within forty-eight degrees of the
vertical If forty degree angle or
over is taken, he surface, no matter
how clear the water is, acts as a per-
feet mirror and reflects objects at the
bottom of the water, thus not allowing
anything on the outside to be seen.
The consequence Of this property Is
! the most startling of all. for everything
on the outside can be seen and thus
has to be seen In the cone described
by the forty eight degree angle from
the eye. This shows all outside OBJ
jects huddled together and appearing
high in air. Thus, If one dives into the
middle Of wide river. on looking up
the banks will appear close together.
but, at great distance from the OBJ
server, high in air.
This angle is called the Critical" an.
gle and Of course varies with the two
media in contact.
If one desires to make the experiment
square glass box or an aquarium will
answer very well. Suspend this from
the ceiling or support it on a wall

The phenomenon will be observed as
indicated The clearer the water and
the stronger the light the more clearly
will things appear.-Chicago Record
