Bv GARRETT p. SERVISS.

A correspondent asks: "1f the eye
is lens why is it that we don't see
things upside down"
Because the upside down image of
an object produced by the lens of the
eye is not formed until the crossed
rays reach the retina, which is the
seat of the sensation of sight or Wis
ion. From the retina, on which the
lens focuses the image, the impress
sion is conveyed into the brain by the
optic nerve. The brain traces this
impression back to the object by fol-
lowing, backward, the direction OF
the rays of light that form the image.
1t sees not the image, but the object
from which the rays forming the i'm
age come, and this appears upright
because, in tracing back to the object
the crossed rays, along the paths by
which they have traversed the eye,
the effect Of the reversal by the lens
is neutralized, the ray which is at
the bottom in the image being fol-
lowed back to its origin at the top Of
the object, and the ray which is at
the top of the image being. likewise,
followed back to its origin at the bot
tom of the object.
The case is very different when we
have an image made by a lens outside
the eye. In that ca. the brain does
see the image, and sees it as it is,
upside down. The lens of the eye
deals with this outside image as if it
were a real object (Which, in effectit
is), and reverses it on the retina. The
seemingly CONTRADICTORY result fol-
lows that an upright image on the ret
ina produces the impression of a re-
versed object, while reversed image
on the retina produces the impression
of an upright object.
But this is easily understood if you
reflect that the image on the retina
is not seen by the brain as an image,
but is simply perceived as an impress
sion made by the rays of light from
the object.
You can get great deal of pleas
ing and instructive entertainment by
studying the performances of simple

lenses. They are as full of magical
tricks as the head OF prestidigitator.
Take an ordinary pocket magnifying
glass, for instance. Look through it
at any object, say line of print,
holding the glass at distance from
the object less than the focal length
of the lens; you will see the object
magnihed, but upright, in its correct
position.
Now remove the glass from the OBJ
ject, beyond the focal distance, and
the outlines will become blurred
Then, keeping the glass in the same
position, draw back the head well be-
yond the focus on its side of the lens,
and you will see the magnihed image
of the object upside down.
The reason is that Low the eye no
longer sees the object itself, but the
image of the object, which is reversed
at the focus of the lens. If such
things as this were shown and ex-
planned to school children, thus en-
ploying some of the time that is now
given up to the eternal drill on such
relatively useless subjects as the rules
and utilities of grammar, the world
would not be so full OF educated"
persons whose educations stops
where practical life begins. A dis
proportionate amount of youthful
time is devoted to learning to read,
write and speak various languages.
This is putting the cart before the
horse. The first thi g to be studied
is the world of nature, which will fur
nish material for language to talk and
write about.
How many school children, ] won
der, are ever told anything about the
real advantage of having two eyes
both turned in the same direction? 1t
is not the increase in the quantity of
light gathered, although that has
some importance, b, it is the fact
that by looking simultaneously with
two eyes we see an object from two
slightly different directions, and
when the images made by the two
eyes are blended in one sensation in
the brain we get the effect of depth,
or solidity, which makes the object

STUFF LEADER CALLS
WORK mo PINK TEA
New Yorker Urges State Or
CARNATIONS Rather Than
Club Methods.
TEACHES OMAHA WOMEN

Suffrage clubs are out of date.
Suffrage work is no longer pink
tea affair. It's political proposition
and must be handled by political or
ganization.
Organize through precincts, wards
and congressional districts instead OF
your little suffrage clubs"
Mrs. Frank J. Shuler OF New York
gave this message to local woman in
the first session of the suffrage school,
conducted by the National Suffrage
association, which opened three
day, session at the Young Women's
Christian association yesterday.
Mrs. Shuler, who is corresponding
secretary of the national association,
handled the Congressional union, rival
suffrage association, without gloves.
Congressional union methods are
hurting the cause. They are methods
designed for thick-skulled English
men, not for American men, who are
the finest on earth" she said. "Ameri-
can men will give the American wom-
all what she wants as soon as they are
sure that she wants it.
Union Hurts Work.
THE Congressional union has re-
peatedly hindered the work of the
national association in Washington.
This winter when our suffrage lobby
lists attempted to secure suffrage peti-
tons on the federal amendment from
congressman, they found Congress
sional union lobbyists had asked these
same congressman not to sign the
petitions because they, the Congress
sional unionists, were not willing that
the work should be done this winter.
Our state work must come before the
federal amendment can be passed.
"Picketing the White House and
dropping the flag, all of which has
been done by the Congressional
unionists, is losing us our staunchest
supporters. l speak with intelligence
on this subject because ] have been in
Washington three times this winter
and heard the comments of the sena-
tors"
No Union Here.
Mrs. Shuler said she spoke with
frankness because she understood
there was no Congressional union Or
ganization in Nebraska. Attempts to
organize were made here recently by
Miss Beulah Amidon of the Congress
sional union, but no officers of the To-
cal club were ever announced.
Work on a federal amendment,
which the Congressional union desires
exclusively, cannot possibly be effec-
tive until at least one New England
and one southern state have given
votes to women, she said.
Mrs. Halsey w. Wilson and Mrs.
T. T. Gotham, the other instructors in
suffrage history and argument and
public speaking and publicity, have
been with the suffrage school since its
inception in November and have al
ready conducted fourteen schools.
Mrs. Shuler came on from New York
this morning.
Southern men are ready to give
women the vote. 1t is the women
who are apathetic," Mrs. Wilson and
Mrs. Gotham say.
Two hundred woman are enrolled
in the suffrage school here. One night |
session was held last evening for
business girls who could not attend |
the day sessions, and large mass
meeting is planned for Saturday |
evening.

BARRAGE FIRE SENT
AGAINST AIRPLANES
IN RAID ON LONDON
German Planes Cross Channel
and Drop Bombs in North
east and Southeastern Dis
triCtS of London

LONDON. Sept. 30.-Hostile airplanes
raided London again tonight. An Off
cial communication from the home Of
flee on the latest raid, says:
Hostile airplanes crossed the coasts
of Kent and Essex in groups between
S and o'clock. Several attacks were
made upon London and some bombs were
dropped in the northeast and southeast
ern districts. Bombs were also dropped
at various places in Kent and Essex. No
reports of casualties have yot been re-
ceived.'
London's warning Of an impending
raid was given quickly by policemen rid
ing through the streets with take
cover" signs on their breasts. and every
one hurried TO shelter. Soon the distant
roar of guns was heard. Then the ex-
plosions of guns and the crack of shrap-
mel bursting in the air came nearer. The
flash of the bursting shells in the night
was incessant. From all directions the
defense guns doomed.
Mingled with the sound of the guns
the whirring CT Gothas was heard over
head. Bombs began to drop, as could be
told by their peculiar explosion. The
fire of the anti-aircraft guns seemed
heavier than on any previous raids, and
IL was obvious that barrages were be-
ing thrown up to defeat the purpose of
the raiders At this time it appears that
the barrages at least prevent the raid
ers from having their own way.

HELM AND NORTON ARE
URGED TO APOLOGIZE
NOrton'S Friends Want HefIin
to DiSavoW DiSIoyaIty
Charges

WASHINGTON. Sept 29.-House ir-
ritation over the Heflin insinuations
against congressional loyalty was
heightened today following the catch-as-
catch-can bout between Representatives
Heflin and Norton on the floor yester-
day.
Both members have been urged by
friends to take the floor at the earliest
opportunity and present their apologies.
Both have indicated they intend TO make
few remarks-"not necessarily apollo
giles"
Norton's friends insist on a personal
disaVowal from Hefiin of both his speech
on the floor in which ne said thirteen or
fourteen members had acted disloyally
and of his newspaper interview con-
corning a gambling hall in Washington
where pro-German congressman were
understood to make easy winnings t
cards.
From a reliable source the report came
today that Majority Leader Kitchin
would take the floor today with a de-
mand for Heflin's censure.
While the house continued it's post
rough shedding in the senate. Senator
Smoot opened a fight to delay it's pass
age until at least the December session.
If he fails in this, he will contest the
bill on the floor.
