car load of infants between the ages
Of two months and three years be sent

York babies passed through here in
charge of nurses to Houston. where
homes already have been found for
them.

tried to obtain a few of these. but the
demand in Houston was greater than
the supply, so Fort Worth has ordered

EFFECTS OF INTENSE LIGHT
They Are Not So Serious When the
Amount Received by the Retina
ls Reduced.

II is not so much the intensity OF
the light focused on the retina as It 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 minute
pinhole disc at the sun we can endure
the very bright light much longer than
when we lcok with the naked eye. II
We look At dist4at eiectric arc light
there is no retinal fatigue. while If We
look at the same light from short
distance there is great discomfort, and
yet the two retinal images are Of equal
brilliancy, only in the first case this
image is very much smaller than In
the second case; that 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 It is. therefore.
very glaring and uncomfortable to
look at. In skiascopy 1t is possible to
use very intense light II It is made
small in area and for the reasons
above stated.

The late Rev. Horatio Stebbins Of
San Francisco was man Of large
mind and noble powers. but more fa-
miliar with the world Of intellectual
and scholastic interests than with triv'
ial and timely things.
His household was blessed with a
charming daughter. who grew up tall
and beautiful. commanding the admira'
ton Of all who saw her. One day Z
visitor said to the good doctor: Doc
tor, your daughter grows more charm
ing day by day. Why. she's a regular
Gibson girl"
"Ah, thank you, thank you" replied
the doctor in his best manner. When
the visitor had gone. turning to his
wife the doctor asked: MY dear, who

prelude to what must undoubtedly
prove the most interesting and ex-

The Warren amendment means that
some time next summer government
troops will attempt to herd 10000 or
more wild elk from the crowded
