EFFECTS OF INTENSE LIGHT
Fatigue Of the Retins Depends Mostly
on the Amount Received by
That Organ.

II is not go much the intensity OF the
light focused on the retina as II Is the
quantity received by that sensitive
organ that causes retinal fatigue or
worse. In the great snow fields OF the
arctic regions the natives protect their
eyes from the glare OF the snow by
goggles made OF followed pieces OF
wood in which they have made small
holes to look through. This. says the
Optical Review, reduces the quantity
of the light which passes into their
eyes with consequent relief from the
glare. ~
SO, too, II we look through min
ute pinhole disc at the sun we can en-
dure the very bright light much longer
than when we look with the naked
eyes. II we look at distant electric
arc light there is no retinal fatigue.
while IL we look at the same light from
a short distance there Is great dis
comfort, and yet the two retinal i'm
ages are of equal brilliancy, only in
the first case this image Is very much
smaller than in the second case; thNt
is the quantity Of light is very much
different.
Then there Is the flaming electric
light which is now to be found in all
of the large cities of the country. This
light is much less brilliant than that
of the arc light, and yet its size Is sc
great that this more than makes W
the difference, and 1t is therefore very
glaring and uncomfortable to look at
In skiascopy 1t Is possible to use &

stated.

Corporations Find Tax Law Is Strict

VIZ lille the treasury department is
w not disposed to be unduly harsh
with those corporations which have
failed to file their returns within the
specified time under the corporation
tax law, provided the failure has not
been due to a deliberate attempt to
evade the statute, at the same time 1t
is not given much leeway under the
terms of the act.
That is why several bills have been
introduced in congress for the purpose
of relieving delinquent corporations
from the penalties of the law for the
current year. Just why there should
be so many delinquents it is hard to
understand, because this is the second
year that the law has been in force,
and the government officials think cor
porations and their officers ought to
he familiar with it's provisions by this
time.
The commissioner of internal rev
enue, who collects the corporation tax
is busy sending out letters to corpora
stions and persons who write to learn
how they can be relieved Of the penal
ties imposed by the law He does
mot give them much encouragement, for
the statute is stringent.

is added automatically to the amount
of the tax This cannot be RENTED
by the commissioner, because the law
specifically prescTibes it. But in addi-
ton to this increase of the tax a cor
poration may also be fined for its neg
lect. This fine is in the discretion of
he commissioner, and the law says 1t
shall not be less than $1,000 or more
than $4,000. Cases Of fraud are pun
ished more severely. The tax is
doubled, and in addition to that the
officer Of a corporation who makes a
false return may be convicted of a
misdemeanor, fined 81 GOO and sent to
Jail for year.
There are thousands of delinquent
corporations in most internal revenue
districts. Through their represents
lives they are besieging the treasury
department for lenient treatment. The
best that most of them expect is to
be relieved of the fine.
