Real Daylight" By Night is
Clam Of Eastern Inventor

DIR. Herbert e. Ives, prominent
scientist of Philadelphia, claims to
have invented substitute for day
light. He has been at work for doz-
en- years at the research laboratories
of the city's gas plant and finally has
produced, he says, light which has
passed the test and is in every way
equal to sunshine and the light of
day He has designed powerful In
candescent lamp with special mantle
which is SO placed in the top OF a
specially made cabinet that it's rays
are Immediately beneath a reflector.
This is made of metal and the light
Is forced downward through a series
Of delicately colored screens. In tell
ing of his discovery DR.. Ives said:
My recent invention has field of
usefulness in certain Industries, such
as textile manufacturing, dyeing, co.,
or printing and similar arts. In col
or printing the presses can be run
only SO long as the ink put in by day.

work the color of artificial teeth can,
not be told at night. In paper manu-
facture and the manufacture of flour
they cannot tell the different grades.
With the aid OF this machine they can
tell the grades all the time. Thread
manufacturers will use it to test the
color of threads. Even in the day
time they cannot match threads
exactly, whereas with this invention
they will be able to tell the color OF
each thread at any time.
Diamond buyers will only deal IN
the daylight. Now they will be able
to make deals at any time. Surgery
is another field Of usefulness. The
color of issues cannot be detected by
artificial light. Surgeons depend up
on the color OF tissues to tell whether
they are diseased or not, and as a
consequence major surgical opera

THE RENTED FARM.
Today wandered DER the farm
Near which my early lot was cast,
And viewed the changes With alarm,
Changes that made the happy past
Seem far remote and fading fast.
The fields where record wheat once
grew,
Are foul with briars and goldenrod,
Sumac and ivy. Then few
Lean cattle bite the scanty sod
Where corn once ripened, thistles
nod.
Fences are falling, and the sad
Old barn which once was filled with
sheaves
Where | have played, a little lad,
Shows sagging roof with moss
grown caves
Its driveway choked with weeds and
leaves.
The boys have grown and left the
place;
Inc Idtner Sleeps now on the nil;
(. And not one dear, familiar face
OF all / knew is left there still,
A tenant robs the soil at will.
The simple, quiet country life
Our fathers lived no longer seems
To please our young, whose minds are
rife
With thoughts of vast commercial
schemes,
Where sudden wealth absorbs their
dreams.
Thus do they leave the land to be
Half-tilled by those whose only care
is present gain-resigned to see
Their birthright useless, brown and
bare,
Results confront US everywhere.
Better to base ones hope upon
The sure foundation of the soil,
Content to hold, when youth is gone.
a humble recompense for toll,
Than scheme, ana fret for power
and spoil
