the Silver Mining company was

the San Francisco stock board for
$500 share, with dividends of $40
a month. In its mansion its directors
had champagne and terrapin dinners
every Saturday night, and, after din
ner, through the moonlight midnight,
and until the hush of the Sabbath
morn, they played draw poker, with
blue chips and the ceiling for a
limit. They had United States SEN

the stockholders walked along, snuff
ing the stars.
Now, gentlemen of the jury, how

EYE FOLLOWS SPOKE
Explanation of Seeming Phe-

"hy Wheel, as II Revolves, Seems to
Potato Backwards-lllusIon That
as Puzzled Many Is Realty
a Simple Matter.

Every person who has gone to the
movies" has probably noticed when
there Is picture thrown on the screen
which involves the rotation of a wheel
having spokes, such as those on a bug
gy or an automobile, that as the wheel
nrst starts to rotate it appears to ro-
yolve in unison with the rest of the
picture, but as it gains speed it sud-
denly appears to rotate backward,
rapidly at first; then it slowly stops
turning, although the vehicle gains In
speed. 1t then seems to rotate forward
slowly, but not with the speed OF the
rest of the vehicle The film manu-
lecturers have not been able to elimi-
nate this unfortunate Illusion. Many
explanations have been heard, but
they seldom approach the right one.
The moving picture is based on the
fact that the retina of the eye retains
the vision for small fraction of a
second. A moving object seen on the
screen In reality is a series of pictures
projected with such rapidity that the
rctina OF the eye still has the vision of
one projection when the next appears.
Thus the picture appears to move. In
the case of revolving wheel the eye
follows the spokes. To make the ex

This vegetable belongs to the cab
bage family and Will grow under very
nearly the same conditions as cabbage
az to soil and water. but they should
be set out about ten days earlier and
should be allowed to remain in the field
at least a week later than late cabbage.
This plant Is a heavy nitrogen feed
er, therefore the soil should be heavily
manured
Brussels sprouts taste much like cab
bage, but do not resemble cabbage at
al In appearance. The plant itself
grows rather high and has a large cen.
trail stalk. From this stalk large leaves
are produced. At the junction of the
leaves with the stalk there are small
heads formed These are seldom over
one and one-half inch in diameter. and
these small heads are the edible por-
ton.
This plant has an advantage over
cabbage In that the heads need not all
be gathered at one time Whenever a
mess of sprouts is wanted the> oldest
and lowest heads are taken and the
others are left to mature.-E. B. Nc
