The first copy of what purports TO
he the first Persian newspaper ia the
world has just been issued IN New
York under the title of the Persian
American Courier" The only cause
for astonlShment in this connection
is that no such publication has APP
peared heretofore in The greater City,
Practically every other nationality,
language, and dialect is represented
by the New York press. inclusive Of
LettiSh, Finnish, Plattdeutsch, SIovak-
ian, Slovene, Croat, and Arabic. The
editor of this latest conner says that
he has struggled with the four hun
dred and four small and four hun
dred and four capital letters of the
Persian alphabet and reduced them to
the dimensions of a linotype key
board, which finally made his publica-
tion possible. Seeing that there are
about six Arabic newspapers in town
and that the Arabic and Persian al
phabets are closely related, the editor,
at any rate, had several models by
following which his work must have
been greatly expedited.-New York

Ozark Liahtninu."

The expression dark lightning
seems to be paradoXical. AS u matter
of fact dark lightning is a product Of
the laboratory. In the development Of
camera plates that have been exposed
to lightning flashes some Of the streak
images are reversed. This is thought
to be due to overeXposure. Prints made
from the negatives show the streaKs as
dark lines, hence the expression dark
lightning" The path of a lightning
flash is frequently shifted by wind.
The action of the wind appears to
broaden the line of lightning until it
resembles a ribbon. The uniform
broadening along the entire length Of
lightning flash has probably never
been observed.

REAL LIFE ROMANCE
PRANK or FATE THAT RESULTED
IN HAPPY MARRIAGE.
She Was the "other Girl" and He the
only Good Looker" In the ReaI-
ment Which Was Embarkina
for War.

The scene Of the first chapter Of this
romance Is laid in city on the west
Crn coHst, seaport from whose har-
bor there sailed during the year Of the
Spunish-Amercun war many trans
ports carrying 20 the Philippines
troops Of gay ana gallant soldiers,
most politely generous with their brass
buttons.
ON one uf these occasions two young
girls, thlrsting for adventure, Jared
forth, armed with kodak. Snap
shots were taken Of the soldiers march
ing down one of the principal streets
from the train 20 the wharf but Il sad
melancholy settled do"n upon the pair
when they were forced 20 udmlt that
these men were, Oh 50 ordinary look
ing. not nearly 50 handsome as some
of the regiments had been.
However, To vary the dun monotony
which the whole episode was gradual
ly assuming, they amused themselves
while the men were boarding the ship
In eudeuvoring 10 pick out the really
good-looklng one. And they did-one,
and one only. But he, being 10y that
time on the upper deck, was quite I'M
0ttainuble, SO all the JOY that could
be extracted from an afternoon whiCd
had given such promise was the pleas
ure of waving good-by TO him as the
ship sullcd away.
Bur what was their surprise when
the snapshots of the marching soldiers
were printed TO discover that their
"good-looking man appeared in one OF
them. The pictures were soon pasted
into a book and the incident apparent
ly closed.
The scene Of the second and closing
chapter is now shifted to town about
ten years later.
one of the two girls was living in
this town. She was a schoolteacher.
AT social gathering she met young
man who afterward called on her.
In the course Of conversation she
gave the name Of her former nome,
and the young man remarked that he
had been in that city just twice, once
when he embarked with his regiment
bound for the Philippines and once
when he was on his way back after
the war.
OF course, the old book Of kodak
views was promptly unearthed, and the
girl was not IA little surprised when he
greeted the picture Of "the good-looE-
ing man." with the rapturouS an
nouncement that it was his old com
rade, Jack -, who resided in that
very town. but was at that time away
on his vacation.
When he returned he would bring
him around, if he might, to see the
pictures, in which he was able TO dis
tlnguish many of his former friends.
Jack came, he saw, he conquered, with
the usual happy ending. am and

Eve Protection at Movies.

Physicians are constantly advising
patrons Of the movies to protect their
eyes. A writer in the Journal Of the
American Medical Association tells
how it may he done.
"The progress made in the charac-
ter Of subjects presented in the movies
today makes it desirable for all inQuir-
ing people to at least attend OCCASION
ally." he says. Annoying after-ef-
fects on the eyes of many prevent
them from enjoying the social diver
sion, and often the educational udvan-
tages. thus derived. The great major
ity of those who suffer from eye strain
after watching moving pictures can
find much. If not complete, relief in
perfectly fitted glasses. The picture
may not be quite so sharp, but this is
more than compensated for by the in
creased comfort.
"For those with very sensitive eyes
a colored glass, either amber, yellow
ish green or amethyst, may be neces-
sary to give complete relief. There
have been put on the market recently
several varieties of colOred glass, each
of which has some advantages, so that
some suitable color can usually be Sc
cured. A subdued light in the thea
ter is much less irritating than when
the only light visible comes from the
screen. 1t is also advisable to avoid
sitting in place where it is necessary
to look upward, MS the additional
strain becomes very tiresome, and fire.

How 100 italian lnfantrymen were
invalided by freezing their feet in mid
summer was told by Il passenger arriv-
ing at New York on the French liner
La TOuraine,
The men were members of batta-
lion of Alpine infantry, and had gone
to point far above the snow line in
an attempt to surprise an Austrian
force that in no other manner could be
ousted from it's position. They had
been carefully drilled in walking on all
fours and acting the parts of goats and
sheep.
Two days after leaving camp rem
nants of the command began to return.
They failed in their undertaking be-
cause of a terrific storm and because
sharp pieces of ice tore their flannel
leggings and exposed their feet.

CLOCK HOLDS SHIPS SAFETY
Chronometer Is the Most Wonderful
and Accurate Timekeeper
Made.

A ships chronometer is the most
wonderful and accurate timekeepeT
made, for upon its accuracy depend
the lives of all on board. So accurate,
indeed, is a ships chronometer that II
does not vary a second a day.
An error Of only a few seconds may
put "a captain of a vessel miles out Of
his reckoning at sea, and run the ship
into great danger. For that reason
every ships timeplece goes through
the most thorough tests before It ia
pronounced perfect.
1t is set going in very hot room
and then transferred to a cold one, for
it may be used in any part Of the
world, from the polar regions to the
tropics, and it must always keep good
time.
Most large vessels have three chrO-
nometers on board in case Of accidents,
and whenever a vessel goes into port
they are sent on shore and tested to
see if they are still accurate. On board
ship the chronometer is kept amidshlps
because there is the least motion and
the smallest variation Of temperature,

spawn masses adherIng and add fresh
loan.
AS they are picked, the mushrooms
are put into shallow baskets and taken
to sorting and packing table. The
stems are cut of and any adhcring
loan is brushed from the cap. II II
true that mushrooms keep somewhat
better If the stub Is left attached and
the loan removed by rubbing, but ex-
cept I'm special cases this procedure is
not to be recommended. 1t is not nee
essary to cut the stem Off short, but
the market demands that there shall
be few long shanks.
For the best trade 1t is desirable to
"sort" the mushrooms, placing only
those Of nearly the same size In the
same packages. 1t is certainly not
well TO pack together "brollers' and
buttons, If this can be avoided. De
