Dickens firm believer in heredity-yet some of
his most noble examples of character building went to dis
prove this belief?

But we have gone long way from that belief now.

that it is merely kind of labor and work with
such pleasure that it is but another for play.
Wealth has long been considered doubtful heritage

hopeful signs of the times.

Changing Money.

How many times can a coin be
changed? That was the sober mathe-
NAUTICAL topic of lecture recently de-
livered before the Mathematical soci-
ETY. Of Ulm by Professor Sauter. The
figures which he gave proved that his
contention was correct-that few peo-
pie know the change possibilities. He
showed that two pfennig piece could,
of course, be changed but once and a
FIVE pfennig, piece only three times and
a ten pfennig only five times. The rise
begins with the twenty-five pfennig
coin. which can be changed sixty-four
times; the fifty pfennig piece 4O6 times
and a mark-1O0 pfennigs-3.953 times.
The big figures come with the two mark
piece, or note. which can be changed
81, 1854 times; the three mark note 301,-
$50 times and five marks 1920 21
times. 'From this point the figures
grow to almost impossible proper
tions." said the lecturer. "a twent.
mark piece can be divided or changed
in 33.23O.248.752 ways. Allowing thir
tv seconds for each change operation,
it would require 1876 days 2 hours II
minutes to make all the changes for

Round or square fitted neckoieces

Although embroidery is used on
everything possible for children, il
is confined, generally, on coats, to the
removable collars and cuffs of white
ottoman silk, pique or lingerie.
Nearly all the handsome lingerie
dresses are pure white, that is, they
show practically no colored embroid-
cry. The color is added in the gar
niture of girdle, SASH tunic or coat.
Another novel and interesting note
is the use of the little taffeta jacket
as a wrap for the lingerie dress.

A Ghost Test,

When you think you see a ghost,
how can you tell whether it really is
ghost or not? A writer gives the
following scientific method: I'VE as

1t may be Objective. e., having ex-
istence outside the observers mind-or

should know that the trouble is with

Color Sensations.

Colot is very commonly looked upon
as definite quality. This, however,
is only partly true. The more correct
and scientific concept of color is that
it is simply the name of a certain
group Of sensations by which We are
affected. Thus we say 1.-The rose is
red" 1t is more correct to say 1.-The
rose produces in US the sensation we
call redness." A man who is color
blind will declare that it is green,
showing that the color Is not in the
thing. but in the perception Of it. So
far, therefore, from retaining their
color in the dark. objects cannot prop
erly be said to possess it even in the
light. ''The rose is red" really means
that the size and arrangement of its
surface molecules are such as to re-
feet that particular part of the spec
trum which we have agreed to call red.
In the dark it is simply black or col
orless, though it retains its capacity
for again exciting in US the sensation
of redness on being restored to the
light. just as an empty glass retains
its capacity for being refilied.
