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

1t Is not 80 much the intensity Of tha
light focused on the retina as 1t 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, If we look through a 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 If we look at the same light from
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; ttlt
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 SO
great that this more than makes up
the difference, and 1t is therefore very
glaring and uncomfortable to look at.
In skiascopy it is possibleA to use a
very intense light II it is made small
in area, and for the reasons above
stated.

weeks ago at his home in Alton. He

and said that 1t had always been his
custom to carry preachers free on

boat to accord the same privileges to
clergymen as long as 1t bore his name.
Captain Hill said that he began that
custom on tho first steamer he owned

There are many men who seem -

bad as to have none at all. In real

the quiet voice. since it does not de-
pend on vainglory or rant.
But real man will say his say
when the time comes. not for contro-
versy-for that is not profitable, but
to show his hand and what he is. A
mans personal influence is stronger
than his argument, and he is false to
the truth that is In him If he does
not show that.

She hesitated before replying, then
indifferently she said:
Yes, knew him at one time. He
introduced me to my husband"
Where was Ihat?"
In New Haven, Conn"
Up at the college. eh? How long
have you known Mr.. Underworld"
Annie looked at her inquisitor and
said nothing. She wondered what he
was driving at, what Importance the
question had to the case. Finally she
said:
Il met him once or twice up at New
Haven. but I've never seen him since
my marriage to Mr.. Jeffries. My hus.

friends. That is
She stopped, realizing that she had
made mistake. How foolish she had
been! The police, of course. were
anxious to show that there was Ill
feeling between the two men. Her
heart misgave her as she saw the
look of satisfaction in the captains
face.
"Ah!" he exclaimed. mot very

band didn't like him, did he?"
He didn't like him well enough to
run after him." she replied hesitat-

other direction.

Annie arose and moved toward the
door. She had no time to waste
there. Every moment now was pre-.

said:

MEETING PLACE OF DANDIEs
The Old Bell Tavern of Pail Mali
Nell Gwynne's Home In Old
London City.

I, The ancient thoroughfare OF Pail
Mall. which in its checkered history
has witnessed SO many outward
changes and with whose very stones
one might almost say are bound up the
social records Of bygone age. its
romances and tragedies. its amuse-
ments and scandals, is about to under
go another transformation.
The Old Bell Tavern, standing at
the corner of what used to be called
John street, but which is now prac-
tically included in st. James Square.
adjoining. is doomed to go the way Of
many another building which, while 1t
survived in that region. formed an In
teresting link between the past and
the present. After having served the
agreeable purpose of a house of re-
freshment for centuries the tavern Is
to be removed and in its place in due
course will uprise an automobile show
room quite Iii the modern style.
Manchester Democrat., 1911-04-12

Among all the notabilities who
made Pail Mall their home Nell
Gwynne will always assert her own
place in the Imagination Of the ro-
mantle. Tradition has not always
spoken accurately as to the precise
locality of the mansion which the
royal favorite inhabited, but it is now
pretty well accepted that the house
occupied the site on which now stands
part of the Army and Navy club
The residence sometimes erroneously
attributed to her was actually inhab-
ited by another notable parsonage,
Moll Davis, young actress whose
professional career. we are told, pre-
sented certain features similar to
those of Nell herself. But this house
on the north side of Pail Mall was
not the only one which Nell Gwynne
tenanted in the thoroughfare. In
1911, as we are told. she crossed to
the park side of the street.
Who can doubt then that In the days
before the club became an institution
the Old Bell, standing in the very
thick of 1t all, was a favorite resort of
the citizen who walked abroad? There
men supported their port. discussed
the latest scandal CT the day, tore

he said:

He watched her face closely to see
what effect his words would have on

killed him.
That's not true! I'd never believe
that" said Annie promptly.

on the captain.
"a confession!" she echoed uneasi.
ly. What do you mean?"
Just what say. Your husband
has made a full confession in the
presence of witnesses, that he came
here to Underwood's rooms to aak
for money. They quarreled. YouS

He has signed confession which will
