TO produce This effect both eyes must
ne employed When one eye IL closed
the letters are all seen NJ the same di~
tance. On opening the other eye onr
set OF letters immediately appears 70
take a position In advance OF the others.
The explanation offered for this effect
ls that a sort OF stereoscopic Illusion is
produced In the eye itself. depending
upon color. The image Of blue object
is shifted by the eye toward one side
and that OF a red object toward the
other side.
IL on looking at blue and red letters
on a black background placed ten or
twelve feet away you see the red letters
nearer than tho blue. screen or one
half Of the pupil Of each eye on the
outside and you will see the red let
ters retire behind the blue ones.
If you screen the pupils on the side
toward the nose you will see the red
letters advance apparently still farther
ahead OF the blue ones.
IL. on the other hand, you naturally
see the blue in advance screen the in
ner side Of the pupils Of your eyes and
the red will come to the front
Beautiful effects are produced with
one eye alone when. instead OF letters,
red or blue rings are pasted on a back
ground OF the opposite color. Placing
red rings on blue paper and using the
right eye with the inner side Of the pu-
pil covered the appearance is that OF
circular red hillocks resting on blue
ground.
To produce this effect in It's highest
degree the paper must be held TO tho
left and sloping In that direction
When the outer side Of the pupil 10
screened the red rings will become cir.

A SYMBOL OF FREEDOM.
The Liberty Cap Dates Away Back 70
Early Greek Times.

From very early times one Of the dis
tlnguishlng marks OF a slave. both In
Greece and oriental countries general
ly. was the lack Of any covering for
the head. Accordingly the cap came to
be considered the insignia Of liberty.
and when slaves were given their free
lom they were presented with q cap
as an emblem OF IL
In Sparta the helots wore q cap OF
dogskin. and this was reckoned a
badge OF servitude, but upon gaining
their freedom this was replaced by a
cap Of a different material. OF another
shape and ornamented with flowers
A similar custom was observed In
Rome. where the presentation OF the
pileus. or cap. was always q part or
the ceremony Of manumltting a slave:
hence arose the proverb. "Servos ad
pileum vocare."
Also on medals the cap Is the symbol
of liberty and In unusually represented
as being held In the right hand by the
point when a cap was exposed 10 the
peoples view on the top Of a spear. a.
In the case Of the conspiracy against
Caesar, II was intended as a public In
vitation TO them to embrace the liberty
that was offered them.
The Goddess OF Liberty on Mount
Aventine was represented as holding
a cap In her hand as a symbol OF free
dom. The Jacobins wore red cap
during the French revolution. and In
England a blue cap with white Dor
der is used as symbol OF liberty.
The custom which prevails among
university students OF wearing cap
Ia said to have had Its origin In a wish
to signify that the wearers had acquir-
ed full liberty and were no longer sub
iect TO the rod OF their supertors.

Men and Women.

AS times go on we have the two re.
suits to be anticipated. Men reach
the point usually early in life where
business or politics absorbs their
whole attention, and they have little
time, strength or interest left for the
broader culture and the amenities OF
life, while women are prone to be too
much preoccupied with these things.

the average American home the

and to the injury OF the home spirit.

Strolling down the hall, she happen

fervently praying aloud. The business
woman passed her hand across her

Thousands o. American Men Seem 70
8e Wholly unInterested IN
Their Wives.

There are thousands of American
men who are merely Indifferent to
their women. They are proud Of them.
but supremely uninterested. and ask Of
their wives only to be let alesse. Their
business Is their life; It is their life
after they are married just as It was
before. They are playing a tremen'
dous game, and in this country man
has got to win or go to the wall. It
makes 70 difference whether man is
married or q bachelor; it Is not the
women Of the country who determine
IL a man must work at the great rate
OF speed at which they labor-it is the
pace Of the country itself which de-
mands it. Our men give generously
and indulgently to their women folks;
they like to see that they have "ey-
erything in the world" as the saying
is. 1t pleases their vanity to see theif
houses well-appointed and their wona-

Of It for themselves. What is to be
expected Of young girls whose fathers
have had no influence In their bring
ing-up. but have merely paid the bills

tails Of any business whatsoever, and
