The sleeves Of her bodice are very

be mistaken for a pair Of aggravated

course the sun in all its glory strikes

INVISIBLE LIGHT.
Only Whom Il Strikes tho Rstina Of the
Eye Can It Be Seen,

Only When Il Strikes the Rstina Of the
Eye Can It 30 Seen.
What is the simplest demonstration
Of the fact that light Is invisible?
The blackness Of a midnight sky
demonstrates this fact most readily.
We may see the planets brilliantly illu-
minated by the suns rays, but the sur
rounding space is dark. although we
know that light must be passing there.
The passage Of a beam Of light
through a darkened room ia only visit.
BILE on the dust in the air. and the cone
of light seen when the sun shines
through small hole in a shutter is
not visible, but only light reflected
from the notes in the beam. This can
be easily aud simply demonstrated by
placing in the beam a glass vessel
from which the dust has been careful,
ly removed. The beam then may be
seen before and behind the vessel. but
is invisible within. A Bunsen burner
or a redhot poker held so as to destroy
the notes will also render the beam
invisible at that spot
Light is only visible when it strikes
on the rctina Of the eye, and it can
only do so when It reaches 1t in a d.
rect line or is turned by a reflection or
refraction into a direct line. Just as
the bullets from a gun do a man no
harm unless aimed or turned in their
course toward his body. so light is
without effect unless it Is aimed or
turned toward the retina.

When Ice Covered Europe,

During the long tertiary epoch, when
opossums disported themselves on the
site Of Paris and mastodons tramped
along the valley Of the Thames. the
earth was in the throes Of mountain
making. The Alps, the Himalayas.
the Alleghenies. the Andes, attest the
power of her activity in those days AT
their termination our continents stood
greatly higher than they do now. and
this aided their glaciation. although 1t
does not fully account for it. But as
they became loaded with ice Europe
and America gradually and we may
venture to say contemporaneously
sank. This was inevitable. Owing to
the extreme heat and pressure prevail
ing in its interior the earth is an en-
inently elastic body. Its surface &C.
tually bulges In or out with a very
slight increase or decrease OF tho load
upon it.

CHICAGO, Nov IS. Robert How

fact that he has this femininen trait
probably saved his life yesterday.
Howard, who lives at 1886 West

"Chicken," replied his spouse, lust

Bob loked OTTER her in astonish-

he changed his mind.

tically. I've changed my mind.

Mrs. Howard administered simple
antidote, hot milk. and then tele-

DUMAS AND HIS BARBER.
Origin Of tho Practice Of Specializing
In Theater Tickets.

In TheAter Tickets.
The practice Of specializing in thea
ter tickets, strange as it may appear.
was started by the elder Dumas. He
patronized a Paris barber named Por-
cher. and one day this worthy while
shaving the novelist asked him why
he did not sell the tickets given him
by the managers of the theaters where
his plays were produced.
ITO whom could l sell themr' asked
the author Of the Three Musketeers."
why. to me. If you like" replied Por.
cher. And what would you do with
them"' asked Dumas. That's my
business" replied the barber, contin-
uing to lather the bronzed face Of the
famous story teller.
But l give you tickets whenever
You ask for them" said Dumas "Ah!
One or two are not sufficient for my
purpose" responded Porcher. II must
have all your tickets. and every day
too" And you will pay for them p
said the dramatist Cash." was the
simple yet practical reply.
Dumas at that moment was very
badly In need Of money. 90 he at once
concluded the bargain. Porcher, who
shortly after this gave up shaving and
cutting hair, made similar bargains
with other authors and quickly BE-

Railway Journeys Of Long Ago

Railway Journeys Of Long Ago.
It was only the adventurous who
dared to face a railway journey in
1923. A writer in the Quarterly Re-
view commenting on the proposed line
to Woolwich. remarked. I'VE would as
soon expect the people Of Woolwich to
suffer themselves to be fred OF upon
one of Congreve's rockets AZ trust
themselves to tho mercy of such a
machine going at such a rate" The
third class carriage Of those days was

and no Seats" writes ]. G. Wright
Into this the passengers were packed
and had to stand during the whole
journey or. II there was room. to squat
on the door. exposed to the rain or

SKIN OF A BADGER.
So Loose the Animal Can Almost Turn
Around In It.

So Loose the Animal Can Almost Turn
Around In It.
The petit Of an adult badger Is ex-
tremely thick and difficult for biting
adversary to penetrate. writes a trap
per In Fur News. and so loosely does
the skin cover the body that the animal
Is able to turn almost around in its
hide.
Should a dog acquire a hold on the
throat the badger turns himself so that
the dogs grip is on the back Of the
badgers neck without having loosened
his first hold. Then the badger secures
a visehke grip upon some vulnerable
portion Of his enemy, and while hts
long tusks penetrate to the limit he
digs and scratches with his front feet
which are furnished with claws almost
as formidable and deadly as might be
expected from an anteater OF the dark
continent.
He who has removed the pelt Of a
badger and is at all observing does not
wonder at this animal being sharp bit
ten and that he is able to hang with
bulldog tenacity when the formation
and adjustment Of his Jaws are noted
Neither is it SO much Of a mystery how
he manages to bore through the soil 50
rapidly that half dozen men with
shovels cannot overtake him. for he Is
a mass Of cords and muscles. partic-
ularly in the neck. chest and shoulders.
very similar in physical construction to
the ground mole.
A badger is chiefly valuable when it
has long coat. so that the guard hairs
can be plucked and used to make shaw
ing brushes.
