Seeing w. Photographic.

The relative sensitiyeness OF the
Photographic plate and the human eye
has been the subject OF recent inter
estIng experiments by Professor y. o.
Nuttlng, OF Rochester. An extra rapid
plate was used for the tests. A source
OF light that could be "dimmed" al
will and 10 any degree was placed
twenty feet away from the plate and
from the eye. The professor found
that a light so dim that IL required
three hours TO produce just percep
tible image on the extremely sensitive
plate was easily visible TO the human
eye after resting the latter for thrss
minutes in total darkness. I'm other
words" adds Professor Nutting. an

grapic plate after an exposure OF one
hour. The retina fully adapted TO
darkness is still a thousand times
more sensitive than tbis."

the company parliamentary rights,
which he thought that they had fully
earned.

"And well let him make a dozen

YES, yes!" roared the company.
"The ayes have it," the officer an
nounced cheerfully. He lifted his cap
to Marta. With tender regard and
grave reverence for that company, he
took extreme care with his next re-
mark lest a set OF men OF such dy'

invader. "The lieutenant Is In com

Following an alleged quarrel with

several tablets of bichIoride Of mere
ury at $50 last night at her home.
Soon after she became violently ILL.,
Dr.. Joseph DeSilva was called and the
woman was given anudotes and tenn
poraTy treatment, after which she was
removed to St AnthOny's hospital!
Quick action on the part of the attend
ing physician probably saved the young
woman's life. Had the poison had an
opportunity to get in its deadly WORK
her recovery would have been doubtful
At the hospital Miss Smith refused
to discuss the incident. stating that she
became i'll after eating a can of sar-
dimes, and denied any attempt at sui
eide. Her condition today is reported
as much improved and she will prob
ably recover.
