One of Barre's well known professional
men, whose name need not be mentioned
here, has hit upon an admirable scheme
for conserving the light that shines
through the windows of his office room.
Adjoining his main office and located
some distance away from the windows
opening out of doors, is another office
room which has hitherto been lighted
only by artificial means. The man in
question has made an exhaustive study

recently he became convinced that his
monthly lighting bill was unnecessarily
large. Starting on the well known axiom
that reflective light loses none of its
| brillancy nor suffers one whit from
alteration through its transmission, he
procured from neighboring carpenter
set of mirrors which he placed in the
front windows of his establishment. To
secure the desired results, it was nee
essary to tilt each mirror on an angle,
but the time he spent in adjusting the
mirrors to their proper stations justified
itself when he noticed the darkened Of
flee adjoining suddenly transformed into
well lighted room diffused with un-
dulating, if reflected, rays from the sun.
On the ceiling reposed a perfect image
of the sun and the lessee of the offices
was satisfied that his lighting problem
was satisfactorily solved. Visitors have
commented on the extraordinarily steady
and natural light in the room that is
usually darkened.
