seen to emerge slowly from their coy
sleeping places. A hard days work
was before them. Advance and rear
guard drill took place at 1915 a. m.
After returning from this ordeal, the
spirits of the weary soldier boys were
revived by the martial strains of the
band, which delivered a concert at
1890 a. m. Outposts were stationed
at 1870 p. m.
The campus people began pouring
into camp about o'clock, followed by
the visiting young ladies and families
of Bryan. The cadets returned. seem
ingly tired and wornout, but the first
glance upon the rosy countenances Of
their lady friends inspired them into
faster step and they were no longer
weary. This was especially noticeable
in &c" company.
At 4 o'clock a baseball game took
place between the Bears and the Cats.
The Bears team was composed of
members of the first six companies of
the regiment, while the Cats team
was composed of members of the last
six companies.
The Bears were managed by the
veteran, Bolly Oliver, the valiant cap

The Cats were managed by our foot

was not expecting as strong a team
as Bally developed, yet his Cats put
up a good fight.
The game was delayed a few min

Lieutenant Brown was presented
with a small basket, which was given
on condition that he would take out
each and every article and explain to
the audience its use. Reluctantly he
did so. 1t contained two tiny under
shirts, baby cap, an oil cloth apron,
etc. This was given for his young
cavalryman.
Lieut.. and Mrs. Levi G. Brown
proved to be the most popular young

of silver fork, knife and spoon. A
coupon, good for one vote, was given
at the Athletic cold drink stand with
each five-cent purchase.
Much credit is due Lieutenant
Brown for the great success Of the
hike" this year. He staged events
in such a systematized form that, ex
cept for the minor fatalities received
in the sham battle, no lives were lost
He worked so diligently for the Ath
letic Association and for the comfort
and pleasure OF the cadets and visitors
that we can say with assurance that
the hike" was a pleasure and one
grand success.-The Battalion.

fusion two lost bales of hay were
found, upon which one little brown,
curly-headed youth expected to put his
head Retreat and supper took place

UNION HILL.

Editor Bryan Eagle:
AS my last was not consigned to the
waste basket it has given me courage
and ! will come again. We are now
having some fine weather for farming,
and the earth is putting on her coat
of green, and all nature seems to be
rejoicing. Farmers have nearly fin
fshed planting cotton and some few
have worked out early corn. Irish po-
tatoes and gardens are very backward,
but the crop of chickens shows every
evidence of being plentiful.
Our preacher, Rev. Lindsay, and his
good wife were with us on last night,
and he preached fine sermon from
the subject of the leper. He drew
many beautiful pictures and impaired
much religious information. We look
eagerly for his return each first Sun
day night.

Lettie Bates and has been very salts
factorily conducted. She is quite an
addition to the neighborhood, taking a
deep interest in all things that tend
to advance, both mentally and spirit
ually. She is our organist on almost
all occasions. ! hope she will consent
to remain in our neighborhood
The ladies of Union Hill have
formed a ladies' aid society with quite
A number of interested members. They
will give an entertainment at the Hill

at s o'clock, also box supper for the
benefit of the religious work. Every
body is invited Come one, come all
and the ladies are especially invited
to bring along a basket and the boys

Rays of Light Will Re-
veal Objects Too Small
to Be Seen

Suppose that an object of this
kind, too small to be seen by
direct microscope examination.
yet large enough to reflect the
light waves that lie within our
range, is placed under powerful
lenses, in a beam OF light so ar
ranged that it does not pour di-
rectly into the eye of the OBJ
server. 1t will scatter about it
self enough light not only to be-
tray its presence but even in
some cases to reveal its shape,
But doubtless we have only

of the mind by its inventions TO

Photography Makes the
Infinitely Minute
World Ours

But right here the magic pow
er of photography comes to our
aid and enables us to penetrate
into this world of the infinitely
minute, which the insects may be
supposed to have regarded as
their exclusive and inviolablc do
mainl
Photography is able to do this
because the sensitive plate or
film is affected by those same
ultraviolet waves that the ant
perceives.
Suppose, then, that an object
is so small that it can not re-
fleet the violet waves, but can
reflect the smaller ultraviolet
ones. 1t is only necessary to
make photograph of it, where
upon the ultraviolet waves that
it reflects will produce a chem
ical change in the surface Of the
Photographic plate or film and
impress an image there, which
image may be magnified at will,
This is the principle of the
ultraviolet microscope"
There is another way in which
man has recently extended his
range of vision indirectly deep
into the secrets of the infinitely
minute. 1t has been done by
the aid of what is called the
"ultramicroscope.' This de-
pends for its action upon the
fact that a minute object pro-
duces scattering of the rays of
light that fall upon it. 1t sur
rounds itself with a kind of
aureole, as may be noticed when
a beam of sunlight enters 4
dusty room, causing millions of
previously invisible floating par
ticles to glow like inhnitesimai
The San Francisco call., 1913-09-01

because they are smaller than
the smallest light wave that lies
within our range. An object as
small as that would be unable to
reflect perfectly a wave of vic-,
let light, and consequently no
amount of direct magnihcation
would be able to bring it clearly
within the limits of sight for US.
The San Francisco call., 1913-09-01
The Ant Can Perceive a
Color Outside the
Violet

In other words, the ant can
Sec color that lies outside
the violet. If the ant has
name for this ultraviolet color
we are not likely to find 1t out.
More than that, the ant (if it
possesses microscopic powers)
may be able to see objects that
are so minute that a forty
billion power" microscope would
be unable 10 reveal them to us.

n IAN is beginning to add to
M his senses. If he has not
= - discovered. new ones, he
has extended the range of some
of those which he already pos
sesses. When this process has
been continued for few
hundred, or a few thousand,
years, the. human race may find
that Il has got upon a new level,
from which it can penetrate
much farther and much. deeper,
in the wondcrssof the universe.

Man Is Beginning to See
With the Eyes Of
Insects

Among other things, man is
beginning, under the guidance of
science, to see, in a roundabout
way, with the eyes of insects.
To understand this, let us first
consider how we see with our
natural power of vision.
Our range Of sight is strictly
confined within the limits of
waves OF light, varying in length
from about one 39,000th to about
one 57,0OOth of an inch. The
longest of these waves produces
in our brains the impression OF
red, and the shortest impression
of violet. The other principal
colors (orange, yellow, green,
blue and indigo) are produced
by intermediate wave lengths,
each color having its own char
acteristic waves.
If an object reflects light OF
only one of these colors it as
sunles the hue of that color; if it
reflects them all equally, it ap-
pears white. because combina-
tion OF the primary colors pro-
duees the impression of white.
But there are, in reality,
enormous numbers of light
waves which are longer than the
longest that affect our sense of
vision, and also enormous num-
bcrs that are shorter than the
shortest that we can see. In
either case these waves, which
lie beyond one end or the other
of what is called the visible
spectrum" of light, are, except
for scientific devices, totally in
sensible to us.
Nov, it has been found that
certain insects, particularly ants,
can perceive light waves that
are shorter than one 57,00Oth
Of an inch, which is the lower
limit for human ewes.
