BY KENNETH WILCOX PAYNE.

Are your eyes beautiful. heavenly
blue? Yes? Then the scientific fact
Ii that they have no color-beautiful
or otherwise-at all.
And not only this, but the very
same thing Is true OF the azure above
TO which you compare them. For
the clear sky over US. L.. In fact
absolutely colorless. despite its APP
parent turquoise hue!
But girls pretty pink cheeks. for
instance. really are pink. There Ia
true red color In them.
For long time scientists have been
puzzled by these startling color con-
tradictions. The explanation, how.
ever. which has Just been discovered
to science. has proved most simple
It's the explanation Of the logic OF
the spectrum OF the rainbow.
Perhaps. as you know. we can see
an object only when sunlight or some
artificial light strikes II and Is thrown
back from II to our eyes. These
rays Of light as We call them.
which come to our eyes from the oh.

rapidly through the air. In each ray
OF light there are several kinds OF
waves--some short, some long.
The shortest of these have q length
OF only one.thirty-ninth part of the
thousandth part OF an inch!
When these short waves strike our
eyes. we see blue.
Waves little bit longer give US
the sensation of green.
And the longest ether-waves which
the nerves Of our eyes are tuned
to pick up make US see red.
Now, we all know that when blue
rays come to us from flower, the
flower is really blue.
How 10 1t then that the beautiful
blue eye Il really an eye without
color?
Because. scientists have found, the
iris Of the eye-the colored parts
full Of myriads Of minute particles OF
matter which act just like tiny mir
rors and reflect rays OF light.
But these mirrors are so small that
the longer light waves pass around
them. Only the very shortest Of the
light waves, which are blue waves
are intercepted, by them.
These waves are thrown back to
our optic nerves by the little mirrors.
And SO the eye we are looking at
seems blue. IL the minute mirrors
weren't there, we wouldn't see the
eye at all. because there would
not be any rays of light thrown back
from It.
So II is with the azure dome OF the
sky. or course there Is nothing
above us in fact but the colorless air.
But the air is full Of millions OF tiny

Haze You Gotten This
Years 5000 Words
Into Your Head Yet?

A census OF the English language
shows that there are something like
5000 new words born every year;
that there are now almost half mil
lion words used In the language.
Some curious discoveries were
made by the census takers. II was
found. for instance. that the first dc
tlonary was issued about 800 years
ago and contained but $3.50 words
At that time most of the English
people talked French or Saxon OF
something else. English, spoken and
written, was a comparatively new
thing. In fifty years the number OF
words grew to $4,000 and In the
course OF the first century after the
first dictionary was issued there were
20, 900 words In the language. John
sons dictionary. published about 90
years later. contained $4,000 words.
This remained the standard until
Noah Webster came into the field In
1925 with the first OF the dictionaries
that still bear his name. Webster
found 100000 words.
Since that time the number oil
words has been rolling up. There
we're 100000 words In big dictionary
issued about half century ago and
in 1894 this number had grown to
$4,000. Now, as stated, the number
has reached 1000 and It Is believ
ed by experts that In the course OF
another ten years the half million
| mark will be reached.
There was a time when French wac
the predominating language Of civil
zation That time has far gone. Eng
| lish comes nearer being the world
language. There are 160.000.000 PEG
pie habitually speaking English now
German Is spoken by 130,O00.OOO and
is next to English in Importance. Rus
sian, one OF the most difficult OF len
guages. is third on the list and 100.
100000 people speak 1t.
or course. both English and Rus
| sim are the official languages Of
| countries containing far more people
than that. But the languages are not
spoken by all the people. French IL
| the language Of but 10000, 900. Span
ish and italian both claim 50.000.O0(
| and Portuguese. which was once
world language. has but 25.000,00t
people habitually using It.
English Is language that Ia made
up from all languages; hence the
great increase in the number OF
words. Because its use IL so wide
spread the people have acquired the
habit of including expressive foreign
words and phrases in their conversa
ton. and these are gradually adopted
into the language. The automobile
industry has supplied English with
dozens OF new woPds--words that
were originally In some other Ian
guage.
For instance, the word chauffeur
was originally used to designate 9
fireman In Franco, where 1t original

ployes and has quite a number Of
general uses there, because 1t ia q

Are Your Eyes Blue? Then
They Haze No Color at All

dust-like particles which catch thu
short blue light waves, and reflect
them In thousand different direc.
tons. SO. from the vast expsnse or
the sky above we receive an almost
infinite number Of blue light waves,
and the heavens seem to our eyes A
beautiful azure. while In fact they are
without any color at all. being full or
nothing but transparent air.
Most objects In nature, however.
have a true color OF their own. and
reflect light of that color only TO
our eyes. All the other colors which
sunlight contains, they absorb.
Take the case of those brilliant au-
tumn leaves for instance. which are
spread out now In the Indian summer
sunshine. When the sunlight strikes
them. all the green. blue. violet ana
orange rays which II contains are
stopped-drunk up as blotter drinks
up water. What becomes OF these
waves? They are used up In produc-
ing heat energy-the warmth that We
feel II we touch the leaves.
But the red waves which are con-
taIped In the sunlight are not ab-
sorbed, but are reflected by the
leaves. They are thrown back to our
eyes. and the foliage looks red or
scarlet. OFTEN leaf Ia so thin that
many OF these red rays can pene-
trate clear through II. Then the leaf
Is scarlet when we hold 1t up to the
sun, as well as when We look at II
from above.

Spent to Obtain Freedom

New York. May 15.-Dr. John w.
Russell former superintendent of
the Mattewan state hospital for the
criminal insane -st advised Harry
X. Thaw that be could be released
by the payment of large bond
Thaw testified today at the bribrey
trial of John N. Anhut young at
torney who is charged with ofering
DR. Russell $4,000 for an order or
certificate that would result in his
freedom from the asylum.
Thaw was brought up from Mat
tewan to testify. He was subjected
to a rigid examination and cross ex-
animation Objections by the counr
sci for the defense that Thaw was
legally insane and therefore not a
competent witness to testify were
overruled by the court who also
stated In the ruling that Thaw's
testimony must be considered as
that Of an insane person.
Thaw told of several visits paid
him by Anhut in 1912, when he
declared that "He said he wou d get
me discharged II asked If DIR.
Russell had settled on something
definite said Thaw and ,Anhut said
abe had said the money was
mach moro than ] had expected tb
pay and that | was not in position
where | could pay it,"
Under cross examination Thaw
said that in all he had spent $685.
600 in efforts TO secure his release.
This sum he said was exclusive of
the expenses of his trial for the kill
ing of Stanford White.
II was pretty we'll swindled on
my two trials here" Thaw declared.

dous,
The witness stated that during
the conversation with Anhnt the
question of raising money was dis
cussed and that week later he
sold some shares that he had in a
gas company for about $4,000 and
borrowed $4,000 from his sister,
Mrs. George l.. Carnegie.
Thaw declared that his agree
ment with Anhut called for the re
turn of all or part of the $4,000 II
he did not walk out the doors of the
asylum or was not released by the
court on specified date. He said

PUBLICITY MNDERs THE HUNT.
Secret Service Of the Department Of
Justice is Making Every e.
fort to Locate Thief.

Washington. May 15.AAt the
Navy Department 1t was announced
to-day that every diplomat In the
service OF the United States had
been asked to use the secret agencies
at his command to find the two sets
of plans that disclosed the methods
of firing the 12-inch broadside Of
the s,ipordreadnaught PENNSYLVANIA.
SO far as the officials of the de-
partment are concerned they pro-
fess to know no more about the per-
son or persons who stole these i'm
portant plans than they did on the
day OF the discovery of their disap-
pearance.
1t Is admitted that the plans
could be or no possible value to any
one other than foreign government
although It is pointed out that such
government need not necessarily
be In any controversy with the
United States at the present time.
But the point is made that it
would have been next to impossible
for any agent of such government
to know the exact spot in which to
md the greatest secret this givern-
menf wished to guard without the
aid Of someone familiar with the de-
partnent building from which the
plans We're stolen.
Government Employe Suspected.
The theory OF the Secretary Is
that possibly some empioye of the
goyernment, tempted by the price Of
fered. stole the plans and delivered
them or copy, to the representa-.
tive of the government interested.
1t is declared at the department,
however, that no one is under sus-
picion and that no empfose has been
dropped from the rolts.
Publicity Hinders Hunt.
In tho meantime the secret service
of the Department Of Justice is maxi
ing every effort to trace the plans
and catch the thieves. The head Of
this service. Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Bielaski, complains that the
publicity given to the two thefts Is
seriously interfering with the work
OF his men.
