PAID TRIBUTE TO LAUGHTER
Testimony to the Value Of
Jo'jity In Life.

The value of a good-natured laugh
may be rated low by some people;
but many writer's have attested its
worth In no measured terms.
It is not surprising that Charles
Lamb should have said, "A laugh is
worth q hundred groans in any mar
ket;;" but from the lips of the somber
Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear, mo man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
or irreclaimably bad"
It was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that, What was talked Of as
the golden chain of Jove was nothing
more than a succession Of laughs, a
chromatic scale of merriment reach
ing from earth to Olympus"
II am persuaded" wrote Laurence
Sterne. that every time man smiles
but much more so when he laughs-it
adds something to his fragment OF
life."
Last Of all may be cited the verdict
Of Oliver Wendell Holmes, given with
his own inimitable humor, "The riot
out tumult Of a laugh. take 1t, is the
mob law Of the features, and Pro
priety the magistrate who reads the
riot ect."-The Sunday Magazine.

BLACK LETTERS AND WHITE
Former Can Be Read At Greater
g Distance Than the Latter, 10
Judgment Of Experts.

There is q tendency on the part Of
railroads to adopt signs with white let
ters on a black background not realiz.
ing that the black letter Oh q white
background is easier to read and can
be seen at greater distance. This
follows In an interesting way from
the structure of the retina Of the eye,
!; The impression of letter at the
limit of vision is received on the ends
Of small bundle of nerves which con-
vey to the brain a sort of mosaic Inn
preston A nerve can only transmit
to the brain Information as to whether
or not a ray of light is falling upon It,
and when a nerve is partly in the light
and partly in darkness the sensation
is the same as though all OF. 1t was
in the light. -.
1t follows. therefore, that all nerves
on: the dividing edge between any
black and white area transmit the sem
sation.. of light 80 that all white lines
and white areas appear wider and all
black lines ana black areas appear
narrower than they really are.
Black letters grow thinner at the
limit of vision and are still recognix-
able, while at the same distance white
letters grow thicker and cannot be dis
tinguished. There are circumstances
when it ID necessary to use white let,
tiers. but In such cases legibility will
be improved II they are made with q
thin stroke and strongly lighted. Black
letters are more distinct If made with
. heavy stroke.-Scientiflc American,

DELEGATES PREPARE TO LEAVE

London, Feb. 1.-The Balkan al
lies and Turks are making active pre-
parations to resume hostilities in
southwestern Europe. Delegates of
the allies to the peace conference are
saying farewell and packing their
baggage preparatory to departing.
A dispatch received from Constan-
tinople reported that the Turkish
delegates are ordered home, but the
command has not yet been received
here. 1t seems that only Intervention
by the powers can avert further re-
sort to arms. Their work thus far
has apparently failed.
Even at this hour each side is &C.
cusing the other of bluffing. The
Turks declare that in their note to
the powers the allies have given
greater concessions as a basis of re-
Stunning peace negotiations than they
had expected to make at the COM
mencement Of peace negotiations.
The allies say what was acceptable
a fortnight ago is not to be enter
tanned now: that the Turks game is
obviously to lead them by the nose
for. months, counting on the allies
financial exhaustion and complica-
lions to arise to favor Turkey.

delegation, said the feeling of the
