EFFECTS OF LIGHT ON EYES
No Actual Data to Prove That Artifi.
clal Light Is More Discomfort
Ing Than the Daylight.

Not all the radiant energy which en-
ters the eye is active in the process Of
producing the sensation of light. No
doubt it is fair to assume that at least
this inactive" enerpgy is absorbed by
the eye media and transformed into
heat, says the Electrical World. This
should cause an increase in tempera-
ture in the eye, which has led some to
hold that this is the cause of irritation
and fatigue. There is general feeling
that artificial light is more fatiguing
than daylight, which contains far less
energy per 'lumen-second than the
light from ordinary artificial illumin-
ants. Of course, If it be true that
artificial light under the same condi-
tions of diffusion, intensity, surround
ings, retinal adaptation, ETC., is really
more irritating and fatiguing than
daylight, it is wise to look to the spec
trail character of the radiation as a
probable cause. However, there are
no actual data which prove that artiti-
cial light is more discomforting than
daylight when all conditions excepting
the spectral character of the radiation
are the same.

BLACK PIN A CLEW
Owners Go Into Consultation to Con-
struet In Proper Order the Acts Of
the Burglar, Beginning With Re-
moVaI Of Glass Panel.

Chicago.-When Mr. and Mrs. H. l.
Giuldner of 512 Deming place came
home the other night the husband de-
tected the fact that a square yard of
plate glass had been removed from
the front door.
Somebody has been here" he told
his wife with conviction.
She could not logically dispute the
statement, but few minutes later her
turn came-when her eyes caught
sight of a little black pin on her
dressing table.
"A woman has been here" de-
clared Mrs. Guildner, for she never
uses black pins
So the police we're at once informed
that an intrepid lady burglar" had
removed a panel from the front door,
ransacked the house, made her selec-
tions with a good deal of discrimina-
ton, and departed.
Have you any clue-something
like description of the lady?" asked
the detective who was summoned
from the Sheffield avenue station.
We'll, let me think" said Mrs.
Guilder. "Of course, didn't see her,
you understand, but-oh, yes, she
wears a beautiful Knight Templar
plume in her hat.
"Marvelous-my name must be
Watson" the detective said. And
then he and Mr. and Mrs. Guildner
went into consultation to reconstruct
in proper order the acts of the bur.
glar, beginning Immediately after the
removal Of the glass panel
in the first place" said Mrs. Guild
ner, she did not wear one of the new
tight skirts, because if she did she
could not have managed to climb
through the place where the panel
used to be-"
Perhaps" put in her husband,
"she just reached through and un-
locked the door" And thus Guildner

is made of metal and in two pieces,
each piece being bent in the middle to
bring the arms at right angles to each
other. Each piece, too, has slots mid
way through it at point near the
angle, and, by placing the one section
over the other at the points, the two
can be locked firmly together. Through
the square aperture thus formed in the
center the bottom of the tree is thrust
and screw at one corner holds the
tree securely. If the tree is not too
big and heavy the holder can be mere
ly set on the floor the long arms sup
porting it sufficiently In other cases,
however, the arms can be screwed
down to some secondary support which
will hold the bottom of the tree while
the holder grips the trunk higher up.

LEAVES END ON YOUR CIGAR
Invention Of Brooklyn Man That Pos
sibly May Add Greatly to Comfort
Of Man Who Smokes.

There is a possibility that before
long the smoker will not have to cut
or bite the end of his cigar, says the
New York Times. A patent has just
been awarded to a Brooklyn man on
a device which inserts close to the
end Of the cigar which goes in the
mouth an aluminium spring about a
half inch long. This spring is inserted
diagonally and the coils are said to
force the filler tobacco apart so that
the cigar draws much better than
when the end is cut off. This spring
is leet in the cigar while it is being
smoked, 1t is said to be especially
useful in short filler" cigars and to
stop smokers from chewing on them
to get better draft. 1t is contended
that cigar SO equipped are more san
itary than others in that it does away
with t need OF using public cutters
in the stores. Neither will the wrap
per show the tendency to unroll that
is common in some cigars after the
end has been removed Tie inventor
Of the machine claims that it will per-
forate and insert springs in 10000
cigars day and will require only one
operative to do the work. The com
mercial value is said to depend on the
Willingness Of the smoker to pay lit
tie more for these cigars to Offset the
additional expense incurred by the
manufacturer.

EARTH'S MOST SACRED SPOT
Gretto or Manger in the Church of
the Nativity at Bethlehem-site
Where Christ Was Born.

What may perhaps be described as
the most sacred spot on earth, says
a writer in the Wide World is the
grotto or manger in the Church of the
Nativity at Bethlehem This small un-
derground chamber, reached from the
church above by a flight of steps, is
said to be the site of the actual man
ger where Christ was born, and a sill
yer star, let into the floor under
meath the altar, is alleged to be the
exact spot of the Nativity Above the
star hangs Is lamps, which have con-
tinually illuminated the little chapel
for several hundred years. The altar
is adorned with the most elaborate
embroideries, the work of royal prin-
cesses, while from the ceiling hang a
number of brass lamps and a few
paintings. There has, of course, been
no little controversy as to whether
this Is the actual site of the original
manger. To begin with, it is under
ground, and many people wonder how
it could have been used by cattle and
horses. Here, however, we have to
remember that In the east donkeys
and mules often dwell in underground
stables, and the staircase would pre-
sent no difficulty to the agile native
cattle of Palestine. No less an au-
thority than Colonel Conder has de-
clared that "the rude grotto with its
rocky manger may. it seems to me,
be accepted even by the most skepti-
cal of modern explorers"

Monument to sehIapareIII.

The king of Italy has given his
sanction to the movement to erect a
monument by popular subscription to
the memory of the late Prof. Giovanni
SchiaparellL the distinguished as
tronomer. 1t is proposed to erect a
monument to him at his birthplace,
Savigliano, in Piedmont, and to place
a memorial tablet in the Brera palace
at Milan. He was connected with the
observatory of Brera for 40 years,
most Of that time as a director. To
the world at large Schiaparelli was
chiefly famous for his discovery of the
so-called canals" of Mars in 1877.

GOOD BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
Reading Helps in Innumerable Ways
TO Aid Youth to Meet the World
Makes Him Think Quickly.

(By ELEANOR CRAIG, Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
Whatever there is in life that makes
child's life happier and better Is
worth having Among the things that
accomplish this purpose are good
books-not the light trashy kind, but
those that have been worthy enough
to have lasted through years or that
show basis of good clean thought
behind them. This is the kind that
should be in the household of every
one, and especially those households
with growing children. In our busy
life of today whatever advantages we
can give our children at small eK-
pense are worthy of our notice. AL
most any classic can now be bought
for 30 cents.
Reading helps in innumerable ways
to aid child to meet the world 1t
makes him think more quickly and
more carefully, and it places situa-
tions before him that may help him
in an emergency at some future time.
His whole outlook on life is broadened
by reading.
The reading is not limited to what
we call classics. Everyday books are
published that create types of life
with which a growing child should be
familiar His ideals cannot help but
be raised when he reads of a life of
noble manhood or gentle womanhood.
even though the character be one of
fiction.
