A Literary ReIIboy.

some breach of regulations. Indignant.

Seeing IN the Dark.

Sir I'D. Thomson is authority for
the statement that when a body Is
heated above the temperature of boil
ing water it ordinarily begins to be
family visible. especially by averted
vision. but no definite color is discern
ed until the temperature has risen con-
siderabfy higher. This suggests that
the first effects r felt by the rods
and not by the cones" which together
form the retina. The cones are spe-
tally concerned with the perception Of
color. From this n would infer that
animals which see in the dark must
have retinas particularly rich in rods.
and physiology shows that this is nota-
bly, true of the owl, whose retina is
remarkable for the extremely great
proportion of rods. to cones. In a faint
light, states Professor Thomson, the
owl sees no color. but he sees some
things which is good enough for his
purposes where we would see nothing
at all.-Philadelphia Record.

The Springfield Teachers Meet
ing was postponed until February
18th or account of the heavy snow
fall last week.
Last week was a bad one for our
perfect attendance record. Many
teachers report no attendance at
all during the entire week.
We are still unable to announ ce
definitely just when our officers
and teachers meeting is to occur.
1t will either be February II or 10,
depending upon certain features of
our program that we are mapping
out.
This Is the month of birthdays.
VIZ hope appropriate notice will
be made of these great natal days
for our growing citizenship. Re-
member that biography of men and
women is the most approved way
to teach history.
1t is said that Gladstone, one of

did Gladstone. Try it boys.
There will be hundreds of birds

little birds may help themselves.

ducing food falls largely upon the
