BRITISH PRIZE COURT
DECIDES FOR b. S. SHIP
Ruling Following Protest Against Seizures Recognizes
Riobt of American Claim Cargoes
Shipped to Germany Before War.

since it was the desire of the British
government, TO whom representations
had been made on behalf Of the Ameri-
can shippers, 10 treat these repre-
sentations with every consideration.
The case having been made a test one,
other shipments are being released IN
like manner provided that they we're
made before the outbreak of war and
without contemplation of war.
From information now received
from a private source IN the OniteG
States, IL appears that practically al
cargoes of wheat so seized were SOLO
to German firms before the war at
prices about 80 cents a bushel, OF
10 shillings a quarter, rate whleh
IS considerably lower than the pres
ent actual market price of the wheat
The effect, it is pointed out, amounts
to making the exporters a present ol
large sums of money, probably aver
aging $4,000 to $4,000 on each cargo
according TO the number OF busneIS
in the cargoes.
"These differences in value between
the low prices of sale to the German
BUYERS and the prices realized IN tne
United Kingdom may not lmpropaoly
lead to suit being brought in the Unit
ed States courts by the German buyers
to recover these differences from IN. me
American exporters, with the result
that sums of money paid to the latteI
by the British government may ma
their way into enemy hands. ,
Moreover, it is pointed out that tne
banking transactions IN connee'lOn
with the original sale render i diiheult
to determine on any particular date
whether drafts on the German buyers
NAV not have been accepted or even
naid. In this way cargoes the property
Of German owners may have escaped
condemnation by the British prize court
and may, in fact, have been PAID ioT i.oI,, a

Washington. Jan. 1.-The decision
90 +bo british prize court in London in
the case of the British steamship MI
re- nichi, loaded with wheat and shipped
from, America TO German consignees
prior TO the war, was announced here
tonight by the British Embassy.
The court held that the wheat was
still the property of the American
claimants, and ordered that payment
he made to them for it. The embassy
issued the following statement:
"The case of the British IS. Mira
michi has recently come before the
prize court at London. The vessel was
one of a large number which had
Skinned cargoes OF wheat in the United
States before the outbreak of the war
consigned to German firms in Ger
many. Generally the documents had
not been taken up by the German buy
ers. and money had been advanced on
the cargoes by neutral bankers. The
case was therefore submitted to the
prize court as test case, in order
that the point Of law might be deter
mined whether the goods were at the
time Of seizure the property of the
American shippers or of the German
consignees.
Judgment was delivered by the
prize court on November % to the eff
feet that the cargo of wheat on the
Miramichi remained the property OF
the American claimants, and was not
therefore subject to seizure. Payment
was accordingly ordered out of the
proceeds Of the goods in court to the
claimants.
Leave to appeal was granted by the
court, but this was not proceeded with,

owing to clouds. smoke and reflections
from colored surroundings, such as trees
and buildings, so that 1t is necessary to
establish standard before attempting to
produce artificial daylight. In the Nels

measurements were made Of the quality
or spectral character Of daylight. These
were combined with measurements made
In different parts Of the world and an

AT once he 10 handicapped and no
kind Of general lighting can reduce this
handicap. A local lighting unit, however.
can be Of great assistance. BY placing
local lighting unit in a proper position, so
that the highest part of the painting will
receive much more light than the darkest,
the range Of contrast found in nature can
be more nearly produced.
"The mural painting often suffers from
artificial lighting when 1t could often be
much benefited. The artist Of course has
carefully considered its environment. that
is, the lighting, the color of its surround
ings and its position. This no doubt was
done in daylight, but the great difference
between natural and artificial lighting IL
likely to be unsatisfactory.
ITO return to the specific painting, 1t Is
interesting to consider the effect of the
quality or color Of the light. The paint
ing has perhaps been executed In day
light. All know the great difference exist
ing between the color values of illumi-
nants. The artist has no doubt carefully
harmonized his color scheme both as to
colors and values. Pigments. however.
owe their color largely to the light fall
ing upon them, therefore change consid-
erably when lighted by an artificial
means depending upon the illuminant.
mot only do the colors change in hue
but relative values are very much upset.
Experiments also show that by varying
the quality or color value Of the light, the
painting can be made to express many
moods. The artist attempts to express
but one mood In a picture, therefore he
needs the cooperation Of the lighting
artist In order properly to illuminate the
work by artificial light Red. green and
blue lights. when properly controlled by
means Of dinners, will produce many
qualities OF lights and an apparatus Of
this character should prove Of inestimable
value to the art student or artist.

day demand proper lighting and out Of
this demand has risen the lighting expert.
"The beginning Of the present century

Of illumination. Rapid strides have been
made in the study and practice Of light
ing. The prime object Of scientific illumi-

The quality of light was one Of the first
problems that DR.. Luckiesh and other

Color vision has evolved under natures

The discovery, or rather the invention,
Is revolutionary. II took place at the re-
