Napoleon and the Causes That Led Up
10 Waterloo.
LIN one way Napoleon possessed de-
feet similar to that of Frederick the
Great. He provided no adequate STAFF
TO relieve himself of details.
It Is likely that his intense desire to
stand alone. Ii order to receive all the
credit for what was done was the se4
cret Of his action.
Although undoubtedly the greatest
military genius that ever lived, he
overreached himself. This is shown
IN single enterprise like the Russian
campaign, but it Is shown In the life
as a whole. He could probably have
accomplished the anomaly. with the
mercurial French, Of founding per-
sonal dynasty upon the French revolu-
tion which beheaded royalty and an
nounced the rights of man, but when
he attempted to remake the map OF
Europe he reckoned beyond his power.
He realized that the armies of the re-
public had been animated BY passion
for liberty, equality and fraternity. but
he could not understand that his ag-
gressions upon other countries depriv-
ed his armies Of this moral force and
implanted 1t in his enemies and that
no skill In strategy and tactics could
long Withstand it. He would not per-
NIT a group OF great administrators
and military leaders to share his hon
ors and form around him cabinet
which might have protected him
against himself. And SO he plunged

BLACK LETTERS AND WHITE.
The Former More Distinct at Dis
lance Than the latter.


There Is q tendency on the part Of
railroads to adopt signs with white
letters on black background, not re-
alizing that the black letter on a 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 a small bundle Of nerves which con-
vey to the brain 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
1t, and when nerve is partly In the
light and partly In darkness the sensa-
taon is the same as though all OF it was
in the light.
It follows. therefore, according to
the Scientific American, that all nerves
on the dividing edge between any
black and white area transmit the sem
station OF light so that all white lines
and white areas appear wider and all
black lines and black areas appear
narrower than they really are.
Black letters grow thinner at the
limit Of vision and are still recognize
able, while at the same distance white
letters grow thicker and cannot be dis
tlnguished. There are circumstances
when 1t is necessary to use white let
tiers. but In such cases legibility will
be improved If they are made with. q

letters are more distinct IL made with

FRAN WILL Be FIRST
Amundsen's Trusty Boat Will Lead
Procession of Ships Across
the IsthmuS

New York, Sept. 12.-When the
Hamburg-American liner Victoria
Luise reached port last night, it be-
came definitely known that the Ant
arctic exploring steamer Fran, which
had carried Amundsen to the South
Pole, will be the first vessel to pass
through the Panama canal.
On board the Hamburg liner was
Capt. Thorward Nilsen, master of the
Fran, who was with Amundsen on
his perilous journey He had with
him cable from Col. Goethals, ask
ing that he be at the isthmus with
the Fran during the month of Sep
tember and saying the Fran would
be allowed the notable privilege of
being the first vessel to navigate the
canal
The captain said he would remain
here until Saturday, when he will
leave for Colon by the Panama line
steamer of that date. He added that
the Fran is on her way to Colon from
Buenos Ayres. He left her there
three months ago and went on visit
TO his old home in Norway, which he
had not seen since the return of the
Amundsen expedition from the South
Tole.
