TRICKS OF LIGHT.
Why People Sometimes Feel Dull or
Uncomfortable at Table.

Uncomfortable at Table.
How few people realize that they
are actually suffering from snow blind
ness in miniature every time they
read or work over a white surface on
which brilliant light shines directly.
Half tone paper, for instance. which is
the common medium for the majority
of books we read, will throw a blind
ing glare into the eye of the reader If
the light strikes it at the wrong angle
and 1t forms an excellent test for the
selection of proper lighting for a room
and for the placing of the lighting fix
lures. for lighting diffusion should be
such as to allow comfortable reading
from half tone paper in any position.
A dome hanging above dining table
on which is white cloth causes the
light to reflect into the eyes of those
around the table at an angle that pro-
duces muscular strain. This has a
peculiar effect upon the, senses, and
drowsiness and mental inertia are apt
to result. People are apt to complain
Of feeling of dullness at table or
that they have indigestion when it is,
in reality. the effect of the light.
A too brilliant light shining directly
into the eye plays many curious psy-
Geological tricks. Deaf people, for in
stance, cannot hear so well If they
are facing a brilliantly lighted room.
and, as for being able to see better by
bright light than by a dim one. ex-
actly the reverse is the case, for de-
tail of objects become practically lost
to the eye when too much light enters
it.-Suburban Life Magazine.
