STARS BY DAYLIGHT.
Why We Cannot See Them, Despite
Some OLD Ideas

1t is curious how the popular mind
persists in clinging to certain ideas
which have no foundation whatever in
fact. One of these is the belief that
the stars are visible by daylight if
viewed from the bottom of deep well.
a mine shaft or a tall chimney.
Way back in the time of Aristotle
this idea began to gain currency. 1t
was vouched for not only by the great
Greek philosopher, but by many other
eminent scientists since his time who
never took the trouble to investigate
the matter and prove for themselves
that It was not so. Humboldt was one
O OF the first scientific men to inquire
into the correctness of this idea 1t in
terested him particularly because he
had spent a great deal of time In
mines himself His own experience
furnished nothing whatever to confirm
the idea, and after questioning miners
in various parts of the world he de.
clared himself unable to find the slight
est evidence that the stars are ever
visible by daylight from the bottom Of
wells or mine shafts.
The whole idea is just as mythical
as that of the wonderful pot Of gold
that is buried at the foot of the rain
bow. The invisibility of the stars in
the daytime is due to the glare Of
the atmosphere Illuminated by the
suns rays. There is absolutely no rea-
son why being at the bottom of the
well or down in a mine should dimin-
fsh this glare enough to make the stars
visible to the human eye.
There is good deal of difference, as
science has lately found out, in the
visibility of stars and planets when
viewed through a telescope by daylight.
This varies according 20 the color Of
the heavenly A-)dies. The red or vel
low stars are much more easily seen
than the white ones. Unless the teIe-
scope is focused with the greatest &C
curacy often an extremely bright star
will be absolutely lost against a day.
light field.
AS general thing the planets are
much less Visible in daylight than
stars. The reason for this is that the
telescope dim1nishes the brightness Of
the planets disk as we'll as of the sky
and therefore does not heighten the
contrast, as in the case of the star.

Lazarus he noted that not until earth
ly friends had done all than could be
done did Jesus help them. At the
sepulchre human hands were called
upon to roll away the stone and to
loose him and let him go. What they
could do for themselves He did not do
for them and the speaker pointed out
that it was always so. God did not
do for man what He had given him
ability to do for himself but only
when he had done his best did God do
for him that he could not do for him
self.
He said that only 2 per cent of the
young people of the country were full
ly equipped for their life work with
full education and that that per
cent were filling 55 per cent of the
positions of trust and honor in the
country.
He emphasized over and over the
education for every child to develop
each God-given faculty so that he
may be free to do all that he can do.
So many bright souls are bound by
the grave clothes of ignorance, not
alone of books but of evils they
might avoid. The father and mother
in the home are the first and greatest
factors in the loosening of the mind
of the child, and after that schools,
| associates, business opportunities.
| When he sees around him the crying
needs that money could alleviate he
sees that to a great extent the bust
ness success of a fully developed
man is a measure of the good he can
| do in this world.

ISINFECTION means destroy
ing of germs that cause disease
Many of these germs live in
the human body and are given
off with the secretions and discharges
Of the mouth, nose, ear, skin and other
organs.
If these germs are destroyed as they
leave the body it will prevent to large
extent the spread of disease.
Distinction can be accomplished by
heat and by chemical solutions.
The best disinfectant is fire. Cloths
used in wiping the nose, mouth and ear
of the sick should be burned The next
best disinfection is boiling. Bedclothes
and linen, dishes, towels and other ar
ticles must be boiled for at least half
an hour after the water has come to a
boiling point. This will destroy all
dangerous germs.
Chemical solutions are also useful
The two best are corrosive sublimate
and carbolic acid. Both are very poi
sonous, however, and must be used
with care.
They should be made up as follows:
Corrosive sublimate, one dram tea
spoonful; permanganate of potash, one
dram; water, one gallon. Be sure to
label Poison"
Carbolic acid, seven ounces; water,
one gallon. Label POISON" also.
A solution made by dissolving eight
ounces of chloride of lime in one gallon
of water is useful, but must be freshly
prepared each time.
All body discharges may be placed in
one Of these solutions and allowed to
remain for half an hour. All solid par
ticles must be broken up.
The corrosive sublimate solution If
diluted one-half with water may be
used to wash the hands after handling
case of contagious disease.
Remember that not only the patient,
but all articles coming in contact with
him, are dangerous and should be dis
infected
1t is sometimes advisable to hang a
sheet moistened with corrosive subli-
mate over the door of the room in
which the patient is isolated.

The Fifty-Pound Cow.

A new worlds record for all breeds
for butter-fat production in the seven
day division was established by the
pure-bred Holstein- Fresian cow, Seq
is Fayne Johanna 114656, in a test
ending Jan. 8, 1917. This remarkable
COW produced 5O.68 pounds of butter
in seven consecutive days and the Of
fetal test was conducted by super
visors from the New York State Ag-
ricultural college, Ithaca, N. Y.
Segis Fayne Johanna, by her won
derful achievement, is now the most
talked of cow in the world, and her
sensational record marks signal
triumph in the forward march of the
Holstein- Friesian breed.
She was bred by A. A. Cortelyou of
Somerville, N. j., and her present
owner is Oliver Cabana, Jr., proprie-
tor of the Pine Grove Farms, Elma
Center, N. Y, at which noted estab-
lishment four other worlds record
holders have been developed during
the past six months.
The new worlds record holder
freshened at the age of eight years,
two months and II days. She is four
fifths white, weighs about 1850
pounds, and is sired by King Fayne
Segis 41767. Her dam is Wilma Jo-
hanna 64385, a daughter of Johanna
Rue 3d's Lad and Wilma Clothilde.
The test was made under perfect
conditions, absolute quiet, systematic
feeding and milking, and roomy
stall constructed of clean white enam-
elled walls.
Segis Fayne Johanna's seven-day
production of over so pounds of but
ter surpasses that of Hester Aaltje
Korndyke by 3.91 pounds. In their
present warranted state of elation, en-

STYLES AND THE WOMAN.
Fashions In Dress and Hair In the ORR
ent and Occident

Styles of oriental dress differ wide
Iy, but can safely leave it to any I'M
prejudiced observer that the American
and European woman is the most hid
eously, ineficiently and uneconomically
dressed woman on earth. The Japa-
nese kimono. familiar to all Of us and
typical of oriental garb, is made of
straight lengths Of material which, like
all the others is disable after it's first
freshness is gone
We, boasting Of our efficiency. cut
garments into inconceivable bits, have
them sewed together at great expense,
only to discard them as useless after
a few months wear.
And consider hairdressing. It's all a
matter of taste whether one smooths
each individual hair with coco butter,
elm bark, as in China. Both are to be
preferred to the usual untidy appear
ance of the western couture that leads
the oriental to ask, 'DO they ever comb
their hair?'
The more you know Of oriental WON
en- the more you know they are like us.
The seeming differences are largely q
matter Of superfcialities, like the color
Of the skin. Indian women use saffron
to produce beautiful yellow complex
ion. Chinese and Japanese women like
touch of carmine on their sallOw
faces, while American women put on
first a carmine coating, then white.

CURIOUS COURTsHIP.
Chinese Girls Allowed No Choice In
Picking a Husband.


As soon as the Chinese lady is
old enough to be married her father
chooses a husband for her She is new
er allowed to see him herself. Her
father carries on all the cOurtship for
her The POOR Chinaman does not see
his girl until the day of the wedding.
He does not know whether she is pref
ty or whether she has a temper.
On the great day the bride is dressed
in very gay clothes and placed in a
sedan chair. and she is carried toward
her husband. A crowd of people go
with her. carrying torches which are
lighted even if it be a noon wedding.
A band of drums and flies precedeS
the chair, and, no matter how hard the
bride tried to get away, she could not,
as the chair is locked, and an old serv-
ant carries the key. The key is then
given to the bridegroom, and he is
the only one privileged to open it.
When he opens the doors of the Sc
dan chair he lifts the veil the little
Chinese lady wears over her face, and
if he does not like the face Of his fu-
ture bride he orders the servants to
take her back to her fathers roof, and
he pays the girl a sum of money to
make up for the loss of his compan-
ionship. But if he thinks he is going
to like the little lady he asks her to
come in, and the chair is sent back
empty. Then there is a grand feast,
and the Chinaman is married.
