Light Humor.

In the latter half of the eighteenth
century one of the members of little
scientific society In Liverpool, Eng
land. laid curious wager He bet a
brother scientist that he would read a
newspaper by the light of farthing
dip at distance of 80 feet. The b. s.,
finding the feat difficult at even a sixth
OF the distance, cheerfully accepted
the wager.
The layer merely coated the inside
of shallow wooden box with sloping
pieces OF looking glass. so as to form
a concave lens. placed behind his farth.
ing dip and readily deciphered the
small print at the stipulated distance.
The experiment was witnessed by q
Liverpool dockmaster. He WAS a think
ing man and saw great possibilities in
, this learned jest He straightway
adapted the principle to lighthouse re-
qurements and forthwith the modern
reflex light, with its miles of reflected
range and untold lifesaving powers,
sprailg into being.

her to the other side. toward the shore.

Why Indians Are Red,

A German doctor has evolved a
queer theory about the colOring of the
human race-that the tint of the skin
is determined by the food eaten.
Originally, he declares. the human
species was black, because our print
tive forefathers subsisted on fruits and
roots containing manganese. The
American redskins owe their color to
the consumption Of raw flesh. The
Mongols are yellow because Of their
descent from n tribe which consumed
great quantities Of herbs rich in
chloride, and the Caucasians have to
thank the salt, for which they have SO
great liking, for their dainty pink and
white or delicate brunette complex
ions. -Philadelp Record.

That is the man!
The traveller in Brittany infallibly
hears the story of Marie Legoff. and.
told by her countrymen, il is worth The
trip, but We had better tell it and save
time.
Marie Lesoff, then fourteen years
old, was the houSekeeper OF her IA
Their, a fisherman of Lannion, when
the turbulent waves of the British
channel crushed the old man and his
boat on the reefs. The fisherman who
found the wreckage on the sands went
to Marie Legoff and told her about his
discovery.
Poor girl" he concluded, what are
you going to do now?" Then with
Briton brusqueness, You'd better go
to an orphan asylum. Do you want me
to do anything about it,"
The sight of Marie Legoff was pitt.

undauntedness, and presently. restrain

ton. she said:
Thank you just the same, John; but
the sea took my living, and the sea
shall give it back to me--or swallow
me altogether"
And two days after she went out to
sea with an uncle
The short trips of her uncle's boat
did not satisfy Marie Legoff. as she
longed for time when she could, on
a bigger boat, fight and wrestle with
that sea that had taken her father.
That time had come with her mar
riage. Husband and wife having some
money, put it together to buy a sloop
OF about fifty tons burden, and they
went to sea, doing coasting trade.
If the husband had the brevet, the
wife was the acting captain. and no
one on board would have CHANGED to
say word about it. People from diff
ferent ports of the coast have still
that vision of a sloop coming into
port crowded with sails. speeding in
solently amidst an anchorage full of
straight. energetic woman, u veritable
picture of determination and daring.
At the very moment when onlook.

uttered sharp order. staysails and

trying to enter the river of Morlaix
the boom broke. the spanking power
Of the fore and aft mainsail slackened
and she was driven helplessly against

Between the ship and the shore was

Only one thing could save the crew
from certain death, and it had to be
done quickly. 1t was to swim ashore
with line.
y Who would dare to attempt the
perilous undertaking? The sailors
shook their heads and muttered:

Without a word Marie Legoff seized
the end of a rope and began to faster

mittee: There is one effective way
for working men to combat the evil
of the scab dailies of the loop-re-
fuse to buy them. I never buy Chi
cago daily except The Day Book and
my German paper. Since the strike
my official position has forced me to

PRESS OF UNFAIRNESS
The loop papers are lined up solid
w against labor in the controversy
with the building trades employers.
They are grinding an axe the axe
of Big Business the hopes that
Big Business will recognize their
faithful service by casting them few
crumbs of advertising.
That they are serving well their
master is shown by the fact that
there has not been defalcation IN
the ranks of trust dailies in their at
tack on labor and their glorificat1on
of Big Business. 1t is proven by the
fact that when one sheet prints an
unfair, untrue story about the unions
that the others papers all make haste
to say likewise.
John Metz, president carpenters
district council: 'The loop press has
been unfair all through. By this time
all working men must have learned
that they cannot get a square deal
from the trust papers. 1 would like
to see every union man in Chicago
get behind The Day Book. l believe
The Day Book will benefit Chicago
unionism more than a labor daily
would"
Daniel Calvin, Secretary of Car
penters' District Council: "They are
living about us in every issue, doing
everything to turn public opinion
against the union man. Anyway, the
Tribune had to swallow some of its
