Morning Light Strongest.

The morning light is from ten to
thirty per cent stronger than that Of
the afternoon, varying with the season.
The light-transmitting properties OF
different kinds of glass vary greatly.
Thus the loss of light from glass as
compared with outdoor light ranges all
the way from thirteen to thirty-six per
cent or more. The practice of tapping
the panes causes an average loss OF
light of about eleven per cent. The

All Martas faculties and emotions
were frozen in her stare OF suspense

from her lips as the Browns let go
a rasping, explosive, demoniacal cheer.

After triumph, terror. faintness, and

This time the movement of the fir

in the breastwork by shell fire.
