EYES HURT BY STRONG LIGHT
intensity Of illumination 4 Bad Thing
for the Human Organs
OF Vision.

A good deal has been heard OF late
II the injurious effect Of certain forms
VI lighting on the eyesight; and our
comparative ignorance Of what are
Known as the ultraviolet rays Of tho
spectrum has made them an obvious
,capegoat. But 1t is equally likely
hat human eyesight suffers from the
mere intensity of Illumination which
s afforded by artificial light. In an
ordinary room in which the suns rays
10 not actually penetrate, the daylight
which filters in is often as low as
,ne.tenth a candle-power for each
square inch Of Illuminated surface. 1t
may even be as little as one-hun.
Iredth, and certainly is no greater
ihan that in the rooms OF Queen Anne
houses where the walls are paneled
and the small windows have small
oanes and heavy wooden frames. The
intrinsic brightness of nearly all arti-
acial lights is much greater than this,
which accounts for the injurious ef-
.ects they produce on the eyes II To-
Gated within the range Of vision.

Keeping Time In Holland.

Railroad time, as we generally un.
derstand the phrase in the United
States, is a little ahead of the town
time, but in The Hague, the quaint old
capital of Holland, all private and un-
official clocks and watches are kept
20 minutes fast" said Gerald Wal
thall.
When 1t is noon in the railway sta.
ton, postoffice and other government
buildings Of The Hague the timepieces
in the shops and the watches Of the
sturdy burghers show 1920 p. m. Just
what reason there is for this don't
know, although ! asked enlighten-
ment In many quarters. 1t seems a
custom that has been handed down
for generations, and the Dutch are too
conservative to change the ways Of
their progenitors without some nigh
ty inducement.-Baltimor American.

The bonds were voted 20 years ago to
