TO MEASURE THE INTELLECT
Scientists Have inv>nted Machine
Which Does the Work With Math-
ematical Accuracy.

A machine has been perfected by
which ones mental character can be
determined and his intelligence meas
ured with something Of the accuracy
that scales determine the weight OF
coal or chocolate creams. The appa-
ratus consists OF a revolving mirror
the axis Of which is horizontal and
which can be turned at any required
speed by a handle and belt gearing
The speed at which the axis Is rotating
at any instant is shown by a special
indicator.
The mirror revolves in a dark box
having windows Of colored glass di-
rectly above and below the mirror
Outside each window is a screen OF
white paper fixed at an angle OF IS
degrees to the plane OF the glass and
illuminated by an electric lamp.
A beam OF diffuse light thus passes
through the colored glass OF the win
dow and impinges on the mirror. As
the mirror revolyes the colored refiec-
ton beam passes over an aperture in
the side OF the box, against which the
eye OF the person being tested is
placed. When the reflection beam
has passed over the aperture the col
or impulse on the retina ceases until
the mirror has reached the position
In which 1t reflects the next colored
beam OF light into the eye.
The experiments of Shelford Bid
well and OF others have shown that
the sensation of a color persists for q
short time after the external impulse
has ceased II the duration of this
persistence is equal to the time inter
yaa between two successive impulses
from the revolving mirror the color
will appear to be continuous.

War on tho Ely.

The fight to suppress the fly and
mosquito may be and should be con
Quoted simultaneously. Each insect
can be eliminated only by clearing
away the breeding places. 1t must
be borne In mind. however, that the
conditions conducive to the breeding
of the two insects are not identical
Animal or vegetable tissue is neces-
sary to the breeding Of the fly, and
any such a tissue, however small,
will furnish a hatchery for flies. A
single female housefy will deposit on
a bit of decaying fiesh-a fish head
the entrials of chicken or even a
dead rat or mouse-a cluster of eggs
SO small as to be almost invisible to
the unassisted eye. but this single
cluster will hatch more than 100 flies
A hundred flies will deposit eggs In
such a broodery left exposed in sum.
mer time for a few hours. Every
backyard cesspool or closet that is
not continuously and literally treated
with lime or ashes will turn loose
swarms Of flies and so will every
stable that is not carefully looked
after. Screens should be kept on the
outer doors CT every house.

EXPERIENCE AS A MONITOR
ststesman Wise When He Said He
Had No Surer Light to Guide
His Feet.

Its worth is manifold the burnt child
being said to first test 1t by dreading
the fire. Pleasanter associations multi
ply, however. with enlarged chances
for the test. A certain statesman once
intimated he had no light surer to
guide his feet than the lamp of~ex-
perience." But the tendency is eth
er to discredit that source for enlight-
eminent or neglect repIenishing to keep
II properly aglow. Moreover, there is
natural aversion to living pver again
an unhappy past that prompts the
familiar plea: Let bygones be by
cones" So say We all. provided that
the warning voice Of abandonment
credited means and measures for what
by that same monitor is proved to
make for civic righteousness.
The light of experience may be lur-
ing N its revival of tender memories,
which changeful years only serve to
dim with the mist OF tears. Returning
graduates, even at four-score, feel for
getful Of crow feet and burrows while
recounting the successes and reyerses
of student life together. Surviving
veterans OF the Civil War love at
intervals to fancy themselves around
the old camp fires, ii not caring to
fight the old battles again as their final
hight draws near with the grim foe
who spares neither chief nor private
in the ranks, till the last on either
side is gone. Moreover. pulses may
throb with such depth Of joyousness as
when brethren and sisters in Christ
are met to tell each other what 1t is
from happy experience TO have him as
their elder brother evermore.-Knox-
vile Journal and Tribune.

STOPPED PLAY FOR THAT DAY
Horse Liked the Flavor Of the Base
ball and Proceeded to Make a
Light Lunch.

-Four urchins were playing ball on
upper Park avenue, while not far of
stood an ice wagon with two sleepy
looking horses attached to it. By
chance the ball rolled down the gut
ter toward the ice wagon. 1t slowed
up almost under the feet of one OF
the horses and the animal seeing an
unusual object on the pavement be-
fore him, lowered his head, snuffed at
1t and before the youngsters could
snatch 1t away had it between his
teeth and was munching it with lazy
relish, for 1t was stuffed with some
thing that the ordinary baseball is not

Public Drinking Cup,

Dangers that lurk in public drink
ing cups-soon to be banished from
New York by order Of the board Of
health-are shown effectively by some
recent tests at Chicago's municipal
laboratory. Guinea pigs iroculated
with germs from public drinking ves-
sells sickened quickly and one died.
The tests showed conclusively," said
DR.. F. o. Tonney. who is in charge
of the laboratory, that there is
grave danger to the public through
the use of common cups in public
places. About two dozen pigs were
inoculated and all show signs Of de-
veloping disease. The pig that died
was inoculated with diphtheria germs
taken from drinking cup, and lived
only twelve hours

Automobiles In Trouble.

The repairs made by our Maryland
brethren TO the long, steep river hill OPP
posite ShepherdStown made things in
tereSting for automobiles last Sunday.
Some weeks ago the road was FIN
proved" by throwing lot OF stones in
the middle of it and covering these with
a coat of clay. When the rains came the
clay was transmitted into a slippery,
greasy mess that made ascent an agSra-
walton and descent danger. Last SUM-
dav three automobiles-two from Hag-
erstown and one from Waynesboro, Pa
Game to grief while going down the
hill. Ii was almost impossible to con-
troll the machines and they skidded from
one side of the road TO the other, the
knowledge that the canal yawned wide
open at the foot OF the hill adding no
comfort to the drivers. One car dashed
into a fence, another ran into a stable,
and a third came in collision with small
building. All of the cars were more or
less damaged, one having an axle badly
bent. Fortunately no person was hurt,
but good many lives were in peril and
some of the tourists had to return home
by train.

At Shepherd College.


Mr.. Jno. A. Sheppard, member OF the
State Board of Control, was a business
visitor to Shepherd College on Tuesday,
accompanied by Mr.. H. Russ Warne,
State Architect. Mr.. Sheppard consulted
with Principal Thos. c. Miller and a
number improvements were determined
upon. Mr.. Miller was authorized to
proceed with the grading OF the lot re-

BILE. Another large ciStern will be con-
structed at the school and five-horSe-
power electric motor will be used for
pumping purposes, taking the place OF
the gasoline engine. We are sorry that
it seems not to be feasible at this time to
make new pavement along the Main
street front of the college property-an
improvement so greatly needed. Mr..
Sheppard was much pleased at the pro-
gress made toward the. new sewage
system.
The fruit and vegetable show at the
college last week was such an interesting
and instructive event that if has suggest
ed a corn exhibit, and Principal Miller is
arranging for one about the middle OF
November. Prizes will be offered for
the finest corn, and it is hoped that good
deal of interest will be aroused.

HOW OLD PEOPLE
Nav Prolong Their Lives

AT an advanced age waste is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
In youth. The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per-
son in this vicinity that Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oil) will prolong life. 1t creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
Vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
II people in this vicinity only real
lied how vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the IN
derstanding that your money VIII De

Golden Wedding Anniversary

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank D. Staley, highly
esteemed residents of MartinSburg, eel
ebrated their golden wedding anniversary
in that place on Monday by holding a
very pleasant reception. Mr.. Staley is a
native of Shepherdstown, his father hav-
ing been the late Solomon Staley. He
has been continuously engaged in the
harness business in MartinSburg since
1864, and has been an active and respected
citizen of that place. His wife was Miss
Laura Doll, of Berkeley county. They
were married in Martinsburg on October
q, 1861, by Rev. A. c. Hopkins, OF the
Presbyterian Church, there being no
minister of the Reformed Church located
there at that time. II is a remarkable fact
that all OF the wedding party are still liv-
ing, except one Of the groomsmen. The
venerable DR.. Hopkins, who performed
the ceremony, is still in active work in
Charles Town. The bridesmaids, Miss
Ellen WelShans, OF ShepherdStown, and
Mrs. John F. Blair, of Philadelphia, a
sister OF Mr.. Staley, were present at the
anniversary on Monday. The grooms-
men were Mr.. Lloyd Licklider, OF Shep-
heidstown, who is still living, and John
Ardinger, deceased. Three children OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Staley are living: Mrs.
Rose Trimble and Miss Emma Lee Staley,
in Martinsburg, and Bernard D. Staley,
of Chambersburg. One son, Charles, is
dead. At the celebration on Monday
many friends called TO congratulate the
happy couple and presented numerous
gifts and tokens OF regard.
