Public school children's eyes are Of
ten seriously damaged by poorly lights
ed schoolrooms. This fact should be
remembered in building schoolhouses.
Modern school architects and hygien-
lists have worked out some definite
plans to conserve eyesight, which
should not be forgotten. For instance,
in Northern countries, where sunlight
is less prevalent than in Southern
countries, and where fog, clouds ard
smoke are common, schoolrooms
should have one-fourth as much win
dow-glass as there is floor space. In
Southern countries, where the atmos-
phere is clear, one-sixth window-glass
space is sufficient.
The bottom of the windows should
be four feet above the floor. Windows
should be as numerous as. is consistent
with safe construction. They should
be as far back in the room as possi-
BILE, and to the left of the pupils. The

windows should be contained between
iron or steel mullions, and their edges
should be rounded, to permit the in
gress of light and its useful distri-
button, and to prevent shadows falling
on the desks.
AS the best light comes from above
the windows should extend to the cell
ings. If hills or tall buildings are
close to the school prismatic, or ribbed
glass should be used in the upper por-
tions of the windows, but not in the
lower portions, as too much glare is
produced.
Sliding or slat blinds should not be
used. They are expensive and inefi-
cient. Use double shades, SO large
that chinks of light cannot enter,
They should be fastened in the CEN
ter Of the window and should roll up
or down, SO thatslight can be admitted
from either above or below. The cur
tains should be light green in color.
-Blackboards absorb much light, and
should be covered by light curtains on
dark days and when not in use.

Death
Due to Suicide
First Suspicious Confirmed Regarding
Death of Young
German Princess

Heidelberg, Germany, Sept. 49,
First suspicious regarding the death of
Princess Sophia Of Saxe-Weimar-Ei-
senbach, whose body, with a bullet
hole in the temple, was found early
yesterday in her room in the palace
of her father, Duke William of Sake
Weimar- Eiseinbach, have been con-
frmed and it has been definitely es-
tablished that she committed suicide.
Death Due tOgL0ve Affair
The death of the princess was due
to love affair. She was engaged to
Hans Won Bleichroder, the eldest son
of the senior member of one of the
most powerful banking houses in Ger
many. When the engagement was an
nounced prematurely some months ago
it was learned that the reigning grand
duke, Prince William Erneste, pro-
hibited the union unless the princess
would renounce all her title and dig
mites. This she refused to. do.
Took Much Interest in Poor
Princess Sophia and her parents
were much beloved in Heidelberg for
the interest they had taken in the poor
although her father was by no means
wealthy, and was living on an ap-
panage from the reigning grand duke.
As head of the family the grand duke
objected to the union Of the princess
with man who occupied an inferior
station in life. Her father, it is said,
was inclined to accede to his daugh-
ter's wishes.
Banker Started for Heidelberg
While the princess had been pre-
vented from marrying Won Bleichroe-
der, they lad often been seen together
at Heidelberg since the engagement
was announced.
1t is not known whether the pair
had resigned themselves to the deci-
sion of the grand duke, but Won Blei-
chroeder, it is reported, started for
Heidelberg yesterday.
Maid Found Body
. No statement relative to the TRACE
dy has been given out. The towns
people have accepted the suicide YER
sion and the pathetic features Of the
affair have caused deep sorrow. Ac-
cording to one of the palace employ
ees the princess killed herself about
6 a. m. and maid, entering her apart
ments soon afterward, came upon her
body.
The princess was 25 years old, hav-
ing been born July Is, 1883.
A brother, Prince Hermann, re-
signed from the Prussian army sever
al years ago. He settled in London
and married an Italian actress. Com
PEELED to renounce his title, he took
the name of Count Ostheim.

OF these vaults had been left open in

1t was quiet meeting. The dull
weight of despair hung over these

toiled in vain to achieve the greatest

For at last even the indomitable
Allan had given up. He looked thin
and world weary, and his gray hair
had turned almost white.

But l begin to believe that fate it,

the actual damage that the fire did.
This is wicked and unexpected
blow; but we might even survive that.

of atlantic, the diamond steel that
had made the tunnel possible. But
here, too, he was threatened with
violence and his property, mortgaged
to the hilt, was marked for destruc-
t1on II he remained
He tried to bury himself in Chicago,
but he was too well known to remain
long concealed. And the same perse-
cution followed him there. Holding
himself guiltless OF all crime, Allan
found himself an outlaw. The man
who had been decorated by sover-
eigns. honored by the greatest scien-
tiflc societies and hailed as one of the
worlds greatest men was hunted with
curses and revilings up and down the
world.
Even the friendliest of the news
papers at last turned against him. So
did many of the old directors. They
saw chance to make capital of the
persecution. II Allan could be made
the scapegoat, If the entire blame
for the failure could be heaped upon
him, there might still be chance to
rehabilitate the company.
But the campaign lost force grad
ually from lack of material, and
finally Allan received his last word
from the Lloyds. To do them justice,
this was no fault of theirs-that they
had not found him out He had sim

Ethel came to his hand. He was a

In her statement that New York had

to the fact that conditions were so
