the clatter of hoofs. Looking up he

In black helmets riding his way and

one, riding quite close.

We're going to search you"
They turned out poor Jacks pockets.
And there was the watch. One of the
policemen held 1t up triumphantly.
''Here's the watch he stole from the
Newton house. Come along with us. !"
''But 1 didn't get that watch in the

LoNDoNERs UNABLE TO eRoPE
THEIR WAY IN DARKNESS.
Philosophical Review Of Warfsres
Needs, and of Past Days, Has Not
Brought Citizens to a Proper
Realization Of Conditions.

A few months ago CHANGED to be In
what official language would describe
as "a certain northern town" at the
time when lighting restrictions were
being newly enforced as a precaution
against air attacks. Loud was the
outcry Of persons who had bumped In
to the lamppost and tripped over the
curb upon their homeward way. and
who had even found themselves un-
able to identify their own homes with
out the aid of an electric torch.
And yet the curious thing was that
even such restricted street lighting as
remained would have been considered
really handsome illumination by our
forefathers and would indeed be con-
sidered 80 today by dwellers In rural
districts where the street lamp Is un-
known, @. Fox-Smith writes In the
London Chronicle.
What Is happening to us-or, rather.
what was happening to US In the days
when the daylight, in towns, was de-
posed before its death by the glare of
gas and electric light? Were we not
rapidly losing the very last remnant
of that faculty Of seeing in what we
call "the dark" which Is really quite
natural part Of our equipment, being
a sort of combination Of the senses of
sight, smell, touch and hearing7
As matter Of fact speaking broad
ly, what most people call "the dark"
Is not darkness at all. How often, for
example. do you hear a person who
has just emerged from or who lifts a
blind to look through the window of a
lighted room eKclaim: "What a pitch
dark night"
But once leave the bewildering
lights behind and 1t will be seen that
the apparent darkness was really more
than half caused by the light itself.
Pitch darkness seldom exists except
comparatively. never without some ex-
traor1inary condition, such as fog or
very dense clouds. One does, Of
course. remember one or two such oc-
casions Of a blackness impenetrable
as a wall and almost as tangible to all
seeming. But they are rare enough to
be noticeabie-even to cause surprise,
as II they were somehow abnormal,
which would not be SO II pitch dark.
ness were common.
It Is rather strange to reflect that,
Until the coming Of the lighting re-
strictions. most Of the present genera.
tion had never really seen the town at
dusk.
And yet what peculiar charm there
is now about the coming on of dark in
a city. There Is, let us frankly admit
1t. touch Of the sinister about the
dark mouths Of narrow streets which
by daylight are but the most common
place and sordid Of routes to the backs
of shops and warehouses.
But they are for the time romantic,
as well as sinister; there Is a some
thing Stevensonian about them, Stew.

The war has enormously increased
The already large crop of philanthropic
societies. Every such organization
calls for a long list of officers, a paid
secretary and paid assistants, a large
amount of expensive literature, and in
some instances magazine. To meet
the expenses of this publicity there is
a steady solicitation of the public for
funds, says Leslie's Weekly. On our
desk are more than a dozen appeals
that have come in during d few days.
If one joined all these societies. or
gave to them ALL there would be moth
ing left for the church or the hospital.
Indeed the churches complain that
these outside appeals for money have
cut down their incomes, Ministers say
II they preached on all the special
causes to which they are asked to de-
vote sermon and service, there would
be no Sundays left for the preaching
of the plain gospel. Many busy per-
son, appealed to by the commendable
causes represented in these new socf-
cites and unable to give personal at
tention to such work, eases his con-
science by generous contribution and
the permission to use his name on the
list of vice presidents. All societies
have an imposing list of vice presi-
dents of prominence, which gives
weight to their appeals. Our criticism
is not that the causes represented are
always unworthy of support, but that
the thing has been overdone, that the
middleman is too big an item of ex-
pense in philanthropy just as he is in
business.
