THE cHILDRENs POET

Tomorrow. February 9th. is the
i05th birthday Of Mr.. Henry w.
Longfellow, probably the best loved,
especially by the children, and most
widely read of all American poets.
In the year 1879. on Mr.. Longfel-
lows seventy birthday. the
many school children OF Cambridge,
who loved him dearly, presented
him with a very beautiful armchair,
made of the wood OF the horse
chestnut tree under which the viii
lage blacksmith shop stood. Some
time We will have the interesting
story Of tho village blacksmith,
about whom Mr.. Longfellow wrote
a poem. But today suppose we read
and try To- understand these quota
tions from others OF his famous
poems:
Our todays and Yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we
build.
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and
dreary.
Something attempted, something
done.
Has earned nights repose.
Lives OF great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime.

Curious Effects Produced by the Use
r. ~ Of Ultra Violet Rays.
Stage lighting with invisible light Is
not. SO absurd as 1t sounds and has
been shown to give some novel and at
tractive effects, though its use. Of
course, is very limited. Ultra violet
raysaare the invisible light. and. though
they cannot be seen by the eye. certain
substances may be caused to glow or
become fluorescent if they are placed
In these rays. Clothes, scenery and
stage decorations of various kinds,
when they are coated with the proper
substance, will glow if ultra violet
rays are directed at them.
In thetexperimental tests spot light
similar to that usually used in thea
ter gallery was directed at the stage.
but all the. light except the invisible
ultra violet rays was blocked by filters.
The spot light thus thrown on the stage
did not give the cone of light usually
SO easily detected between the lamp
and the stage; though the cone Of rays
was there, these rays were invisible.
Objects on the stage coated with par

The Better Fruit,

Look up not down upon the ground,
For there but windfalls may be found
The fruit designed for man to eat
Is not that lying at your feet.
The kind which judgment bids us choose
Unspotted. sound and free from bruise.
Lies not amid the tramped grass,
Where earthworms crawl and cattle pass
But swings upon the branches tall.
Beneath the sky's clear cobalt wall
And that which is the nearest prime
Hangs high. Who wishes it must climb
The trunk seems high; the bark is rough
Your hands will bruise. yes, like enough
But he who makes excuse of these
Must eat the fruit beneath the trees.
While others with a weaker grip
Will climb the trunk. nor even slip.
To find with every branch that's passed
The task is easier than the last
And every bruisa that is received
Forgotten in the prize achieved.
Reach forth your hands! Heed not the
Crime!
The prize is there, Look up and climb!
