ARTIFICIAL DAYLIGHT CREATED At LAST.

Did you ever try to make daylight
at night? asked Arthur St. George
Joyce in November Technical w orld
Magazine. It's very simple. All
you need are two color screens and
a strong lncandescent light. Pass
the artificial light rays through the
screens, which draw out the excess
in colorings that are foreign to day
light, and presto! you have pure,
true, and unvarying daylight.
Various cabinets, lamps. and lights
to produce daylight have been man.
ufactured, but none has stood the
test. In this latest invention cab
met is employed. This cabinet is
constructed in various sizes, but the
one which is most convenient Is
eighteen inches deep, thirty inches
wide and twenty-eight inches high.
An incandescent gas light is
placed at the top of the cabinet.
There is metal reflector to throw
the light downward through the del
icate screens which filter out the rays
of red, orange, and yellow which are
foreign to daylight except in small
way. In other words, the screens
extract from the light excuses of
these colors.
The invention has great field of
usefulness In surgery and certain in
dustries. Surgeons depend upon
the color of tissues to tell whether
they are diseased or not. A great
deal of surgery is done at night. In
artificial light the tissues have not
their true color. The invention will
remedy that. in that operations may
be performed by aid of daylight at
any hour of the night.
In textile manufacturing, ayeing
and color printing, daylight at night
will have many uses. In color print
ing, for instance, the presses can be
run only so long as the ink put In
by daylight lasts. With the aid of
the invention presses can be run all
night. In the sorting Of cigars it is
impossible to tell their color by ar
tlicial light. Likewise in dental
work the exact color of artificial
teeth cannot be determined at night.
In paper manufacturing and in the
manufacture of flour, daylight is
needed to differentlate the various
grades.
This invention can be made in
various forms to be used for differ
ent purposes. For instance, it can
be used to light a small room or
closet. 1t can be used to illumi-
nate printed page, or for any
other purpose where perfect light
is desired In the household. The
inventors dining room table is il
lumined by this artificial daylight.

LANDSCAPE OR TEMPER.

II is said that concrete walks and
other walks of that type do not har.
monize with the general appearance
OF the campus. And it can be said
that the present cinder walks do not
harmonic with the average persons
good temper, especially in wet and
sloppy weather. The question at once
arises, is it better to harmonic with
the tempers of several thousand per-
sons or with the landscape?
Fifteen walks enter the campus.
One of them is concrete and is al
ways good. The other fourteen should
be equipped with a system of boats
that would carry students to and from
classes.
But students love the campus and
almost all of them would agree that
cinder walks are best if they are
kept graded up so the water will
drain off instead of standing in little
pools. This is a way to make the
walks agree with the landscape and
the tempers, too.

More About Our Forests.

Editor the Missourian: Your edi-
torial entitled Our National Waste"
may, l fear, give rise to wrong i'm
preston of national forestry in the
United States among your readers.
This nation is producing an average
of something like IS board feet of
wood per acre annually on the sum
total of her forested land, based on
the most liberal estimates ever made.
At the same time it is cutting from
this same area about $50 board feet
per acre annually. There need be no
wild talk of timber famine" to show
where such a course leads. We have
as your editorial indicates, some strik-
ing examples among a few foreign
countries. About 81 per cent of our
forests are either privately owned or
belong in the unreserved public lands
The individual states own about one
half per cent. The nation owns about
49, per cent. This last totals about
165 million acres. To be sure this is
only about 1917 per cent Of the total
area of the country, and rath-
er the poorer sort of forest at that,
for the better quality Of forest is
mostly privately owned, but this small
of the whole is today prac-

Value of Study Abroad.


Editor the Missourian: Will you al
low me a few lines to correct an er-
ror? The error is my own; / did not
convey to one of your reporters the
impression l meant to. What I in
tended to say was that in some sub
jects, in particular my own, the facili-
ties for work, at least for one who has
reached the stage of attempting in
dependent research, were not enough
better in Europe than in America to
warrant going abroad for them, and
that it is the added opportunities Of
becoming acquainted with different
countries and civilizations that swings
the scale. The impression actually
given seems to have been that I placed
the pleasure of travel above the real
object Of my trip, namely, the increase
of my capital as student and teacher
of mathematics.
1t would scarcely be worth while
to revert to the matter if it were not
for a very prevalent tendency to
pounce upon and devour with the ut
most avidity any remark made by an
instructor or alumnus seeming to i'm
ply that something is better than work.
Let someone say that the associations
of college life, the stunts" or other
activities are more valuable than
study, and the statement is echoed
over the campus with glee, whereas
the truth is that these things, good
as they are capable of being, gain
their chief value from their more seri-
GUS background, as one can see by i'm
agining a studyless university When
will the truism that the things best
worth while come only in answer to
sincere sustained effort seep into and
permeate our minds? When it does
our work will be pleasure for what
it brings us and for the exhilaration
of whole-souled striving, and our re-
creation will be heartier and enjoyed
with more abandon because of the re-
newed zest it gives us for our work.

He Wants the Women fo Vote.

Editor the Missourian: The view
points which have been running in

the subject Of woman suffrage have
awakened no little interest, and per-

administered for the benefit Of their
owners, the people of the United
States, by the National Forest service.
l should like to take the space to
give you some account Of the varied
activities and substantial accomplish
ments Of that branch Of our federal
government, but the very extensive
ness of the ground covered by the
Forest Service prohibits it in letter.
? The individual states all over the
country are creating state forests and
giving attention to bringing about the
protection and proper handling Of
the privately owned forests inside
their borders. The importance of this
is seen at once when it is recalled that
this comprises some S1H per cent
of our forests, and the better quality
at that. Organized fire protection un-
der state direction, the establishment
of reasonable system of taxation of
growing timber, conservative manage
ment of state forest lands, education
of woodland owners in methods of
forestry, and such practical regula-
ton of handling forests as may be
required for the protection of the pub
lic-all these are problems that are
being met by the individual states in
such increasing numbers that it is
merely question of time before most
Of our states shall have taken up
work along some or most of these |
lines.
AS for the latter portion of your
there is no doubt whatever |
today but that forests have immense
influence very often as protective COW
ers for the land, regulating the run
,ff of water and preventing floods, as
we'll as certain other influences. But |

story, and a few other things like
hat, I intend to maintain grave

The NEW CABINET,

President Wilson's Cabinet appoint
ments held many surprises for the
people and the politicians alike. AT
least five of the new Cabinet members
were hardly known outside their own
immediate localities three weeks ago.
1t is by no means a factional cabi-
net. 1t embraces all phases of the
Democratic party. There are North
ern, Southern, Eastern and Western
men. In fact the new president drew
from all sections of the country, from
Nebraska to Tennessee and from New
York to California.
The members are men from various
walks in life, six lawyers, one editor,
one manufacturer, one miner and one
college president. Five of them are
products of the South, three were born
north of the Mason and Dixon line, one
on Prince Edward Island and one in
Scotland. At the present time five of
the Cabinet members live north and
five south of the Mason and Dixon line.
All are middle-aged men of sound busi-
ness judgment and with the exception
Of James McReynolds, the Attorney
General, all are married. The young
est member is David F. Houston of
Missouri, the Secretary of Agriculture,
who is AZ years old. William c. Red
field, Secretary of Commerce, 55 years
of age, is the Oldest. All are recogl
nized as experts in their respective
fields of industry and all are progress
sive. Here are some facts about
President Wilson's advisers:
William Jennings Bryan, Secretary
of State-will celebrate his fifty-third
birthday March 10. His wide expert
ence especially qualities him for the
highest position in the Cabinet. Sure
ly no man in America understands bet
ter the delicate inter-relations be-
tween the states and between our
country and other countries. He was
born in Salem, ILL.,, and received his
education in Illinois College and
Union College of Law. His political
career began with speeches in 1883.
He was a member of Congress from
1891 to 1895. As editor of the Omaha
and as delegate he at
tended the Democratic National Con-
vention in Chicago in 1896, wrote the
free-silver plank in the platform and
in defending it, made his famous
"Cross-of-Gold" speech which the
next day resulted in his nomination
for President.
william G. McAdoo, Secretary Of the
near Marietta, Ga, in |
1863. He attended the University of
Tennessee, practiced law in Chatta- !
nooga and came to New York at the |
age of %. In 1903 he became presi-
dent and director Of the Hudson and |

1902 he conceived the idea of linking |
New York and New Jersey by tunnel
and the project was successfully fin
ished in 1908.

very outset, we must remember tha
suffrage is not q matter Of right, bu
is in reality a privilege. A boy o
nineteen may own property, and ye
we all know he is not allowed to vote
Most of the arguments presented II
the above mentioned articles, would
apply equally to the boys case, as t.
the case of a woman. Whatever may
be our personal views, it requires only
one glance at the decisions Of oul
courts, to satisfy us that the ballot IL
a privilege not a right
Therefore, if We accept the fact thai
voting is a privilege, our only re.
naming problem is to determine to
whom this privilege is to be extended
Time was when poets sang of woman
as the lesser man, and there are still
many who seem to think that if the
ballot is given to woman, the result
would be, What is fine within thee
growing coarse to sympathize with
clay"
In the light of our present knowl-
edge such reasoning at it's best can
only be considered specious. We are
forced, it seems, to say that the priv
ilege of suffrage should be extended
whenever social and political progress
demand it. If woman suffrage is in
line with such a demand then certain
ly the step should be taken.
1t is almost an insult to a man born
of woman to be confronted by the
that woman cannot under
stand politics or cast an intelligent
vote on moral issues. Equally OBJ
noxious is the argument that 'the fe-
male of the species is more deadly
than the male"
However, the main argument
against this proposition seems to be
that wOman's sphere is in the home
None of us will deny this. In fact
his seems to be the best argument for
he proposition. Woman's sphere is
IN the home, and it is in protection
Of that home, that she is now demand
ng the ballot. For years, mothers
lave been rearing sons. only to find

If these same boys are wrecked by

ess demand changes along these
ines. Why not let woman live in her
phere, and hasten the day when home
nd childhood will be protected? We,
s men, have exercised this privilege
or years, and have failed miserably.
ire we now too proud to ask the aid
f our mothers and sisters?
To this, our opponents answer that
IL woman are not good. This is also
rue, but the great majority are vastly
bove the average of men when it
ONES to goodness. This fact is
o generally known that proof
an scarcely be demanded, but if sta
istics are desired the unbeliever can
urn to our census reports and find
he balance decidedly on the side OF
ur contention. 1t will be found that
he proportion of men greatly pre-
onderates when such matters as il
teracy and criminality are consid-
red.
Is there then any sane reason why
ne ballot should not be given to wom-
n if they want it, or is there any rea-
on why it should not be thrust upon
lem if necessity demands? Have We
ny right to think they will be un-
iithful to the trust? c. H.

Scheme TO Cut Trial Costs.

An important measure reGdy for
Introduction into the senate would
revolutionize the procedure in Grim
inal court cases where the plea of
insanity is entered as a defense This
bill has been prepared by the Wis
consin branch of the American Insti-
tute of Criminology and Criminal
Law and provides for the apportion-
ment of board of alienists composed
of practicing physicians, ten to TWEEN
ty in number.
In every criminal action where the
court interposes a plea of insanity as
a defense the circuit court and dis
trict attorney shall be notified ten
days in advance of the commence
ment of the trial. The judge then
appoints three men from the list of
alienists to examine the accused land
they shall be the only witnesses per-
mitted to give expert opinion evil
dence on the trial Of said issue" For
this measure the claim is made that
criminal trials will be shortened by
this procedure and the court will OBJ
tain unbiased information upon
which to make finding. The alien
lists would receive not less than SIS
per day, this to be paid by the
county.
