DECEPTI0NS THAT ARE QUEER
Flash OF Lightning Of But one-MIi-
llonth Of Second, Yet It Seems
to Last Much Longer.

Our senses deceive us curiously at
times. A flash of lightning lights up
the ground for one-millionth of a sec
ond, yet 1t seems to us to last SO
much longer.
what happens is that the impress
sion remains In the retina of the eye
Tor about one-eighth of second, or
$4,000 times as long as the flash
lasts. If on dark night a train
speeding along at 60 miles an hour Is
lit up by lightning flash 1t apepars
stationary, yet in the eighth OF q
second during which we seem to see
1t the train travels II feet.
But we really only see It during
one-millionth of second; and In that
time 1t travels only one-hundredth Of
an inch.

a coming event foreshadowed by the pre-
dicted return OF Michigan.
That the agitation for the return OF
Michigan is definite Is shown by the
appointment Of committee to take up
the matter with the University OF Mich

meeting will be arranged with the other
faculty representatives.

universities was held late last night be-
hind closed doors. Only members OF
alumni bodies and athletic boards were
present, no faculty members taking part,
