The Synpathetio Watch.

The sympathetic watch Is all very
well. writes q correspondent, but there
are many who find that their watches
can never be relied upon to behave
regularly. Generally the wearer is
found to be of very nervous DISPOSE
ton. and it certainly looks as If this
communicated itself to the watch.
One Inherited by the writer, which
had kept good time for years. imme-
diately developed erratic tendencies
when worn by him and has never got
out of them Only once for brief
space did watch go regularly with
him 1t was Swiss one. which had
varied when worn in England, but
kept accurate time on Swiss holiday.
And the question was whether 1t was
the wearer's temporarily braced nerves
or the effect of its native air on the
watch that did the trick. : London

No Cnlar La tho Dark.


In the dark there Is no such thing
as color. The reddest dress Is just the
same color as pure white tablecloth
when both are placed in dark closet.
If you would understand this assume
the presence Of light wave motion In
the ether. The color OF light depends
upon the length Of these waves. Inc
light waves producing the colors ID
the blue end OF the spectrum are very
short compared with those that pro
duce the colors near the red end. The
light source that we know as red gives
off only waves of length to produce
that particular color. A body appears
red because IT'S surface absorbs all the
other waves and reflects the red waves
back into the eye. II an attempt Is
made to light blue body with red
light it will fail, because the blue body
Is capable of rejecting only the short
waves producing the blue, and since
the red source produces none Of these
there will be no reflection and the body
will appear black. a thing looks black
when it is capable Of absorbing all the
co!ors at once.-St. Louis Republic.

persons | know" began a Cedar ave
nue. man, who tells long stories about
his household affairs.
"She sure is" agreed the victim of
the conversation fervently. But his
mild sarcasm was lost
"She was hit by a street car recent

broken arm. That's the fourth time
in less than year that something has
happened to her. When they brought
her to her senses this time | leaned
over her alphabetically. Better, my
