Seeing We. Photographic.

The relative sensitiveness Of the
Photographic plate and the human eye
has been the subject of recent inter
esting experiments by Professor P. G
Nutting, of Rochester. An extra rapid
plate was used for the tests. A source
of light that could be "dimmed" at
will and to any degree was placed
twenty feet away from the plate and
from the eye. The professor found
that a light so dim that it 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 thref
minutes in total darkness. "In othe

and the more readily obeyed because
Dellarmes foresight had impressed
their sense upon the men in his quiet
way.
The sand-bags by the tree were
blown up by the Grays. Then, before
the dust had hardly settled, came a
half score Of hand-grenades thrown by
the first men of Gray wedge, scram-
bling as they were pushed through
the breach by the pressure OF the
mass behind. In that final struggle
Of one set Of men to gain and another
to hold position, guns or automatics
or Iong-range bullets played no part.
It was the grapple of cold steel with
cold steel and muscle with muscle, In
the billowing, twisting mob OF wres-
tiers, with no sound from threats but
straining breaths; with no quarter, no
distinction of person, and bloodshot
eyes and faces hot with the effort OF
brute strength striving, in primitive
desperation, to kill in order not to be
killed. The cloud of rocking, writhing
arms and shoulders was neither 60
ing forward nor backward. It's move
ment was that of vortex, while the
gray stream kept on pouring through
the breach as If it were only the first
food from some gray lake on the
other side of the breastwork.
Marta had come to the edge of the
veranda, at once drawn and repealed,
feeling the fearful suspense of the
combat, the savage horror of 1t, and
herself uttering sounds like the strain
ing breaths of the men. What place
for her to be! But she did not think
of that. She was there. The dreadful
alchemy of war had made her a
stranger to herself. She was mad;
they were mad; all the world was
mad!
One minute - two, perhaps not
three-and the thing was over. She
saw the Grays being crushed back and
realized that the Browns had won,
while the last details of the lessening
tumult fixed her attention with their
gladiatorial simplicity. Here, indeed.

weapons nature gave him.

his hat down over his eyes and low

Teller started to pass around the
corner of the house; he was confront
ed by Marta, who had come to the end
of the veranda. There, within hearing
of the soldiers, the dialogue that fol-
lowed was low-toned, and 1t was swift
and palpitant with repressed emotion.
"Mr. Teller, saw you at the auto

vate of the Grays said to you and
realized how true it was"

that arrested the attention Of every
