smallest items on the list Of regular ex-
perses. If it is really advisable FOR a
state to g into business in order to re-
duce the cost of living there are other
lines ia which even small saving, if
accomplished, would amount to more
than the entire cost Of lighting. For
instance, food amounts to 25 to As per
cent Of the cost Of living, and a 5 per
cent reduction in this item would be
the same as the furnishing of light for

How Far a Man Can See Distinctly.

Some interesting experiments have
been made in the German army with
the object of discovering at what dis
tance the recognition of one soldier by
another is reliable. For soldiers iwth
good eyes it was found that a person
seen once before could be recognized at
distance of so feet, while an ac9uaint-
ance could be recognized at distance
of 300 feet, and an intimate friend or
relative, at distance of 500 feet. The
various parts of a man S body can be
distinguished and any decided move
ment can be detected by an expert rifle
man at a distance of 800 feet. At
1900 feet man appears as a spot on
the landscape and cannot usually be
seen if he keeps still or if his dress
does not contrast with the background.
Sailors, hunters and farmers can usually
see twice these distances, probably on
account Of their constant training in
making out the nature of distant OBJ
jects.
