MORE DETAILS ABOUT ROUNSEFELL-WILKE
 W ED DI IN 6.

Mir and Mrs. Geo. w. Wooruff are in receipt of letter this morning from Miss Morehouse in Los Angeles giving more details about the wedding of Miss Kathleen Rounsefell and MT. Hen ry Wilke which was reported a few days ago, the description as given in the letter follows:
 Well, a short note this time telling you about Kathleen's wedding. She was married Thursday December 21st. 1916 at three thirty o'clock at the St. Luke's Episcopal church of Long Beach She had a very pretty white crepe de chene dress with pearl trimmings also wore a wedding veil with wreath of orange blossoms and carried beau tiful boquet of white roses.
 She went up the aisle on the arm of her father, preceded by two flower girls, (One of them Ruth and the oth- CT a cousin. A little girl about the size of Ruth) carrying baskets of pink roses. The service was the usual Epis copal ring service
 After the ceremony we all went back to the Rounsefell house and had a very sumptuous repast There were about two dozen guests including relatives and friends. The house was beautiful ly decorated with carnations and Eas- ter lilies.
 Mir and Mrs. Wilke left that evening for Santa Barbara and will stay there until Christmas when they come back to Long Beach to spend that day with the family and then they go back to New York, Boston. etc, and expect to be back in Ketchikan along about the first of February. They surely are going to have one grand trip and they both seemed to be very happy. In fact we all had a mighty jolly time at the whole affair.

WHY CATS EYES
 SHINE IN DARK

Not satisfied with the old explana- ion that a eats eyes glow in the drak because they catch and concentrate avey little glimmer of light that may be about scientific men have been making experiments recently to as certain if there may not be some other explanation, for the eyes glow when there is no light at all. This is true of the eyes of many animals-in fact, it is true of most nocturnal creatures. including birds and insects.
 The first man to point to what seems to be the true reason was Professor Bugniou of Switzerland, who suggest ed that perhaps invisible rays-such as the ultraviolet or infra-red-were transformed by some chemical action into invisible rays at the instant of re- flection from the eyes.
 Now two Costa Rican professors. G. Michaud and J. F. Tristant, report their experiments on the eyes of men and animals. They filtered a ray of sun light through a special filter compos- ed of a cell of Uviol glass containing a solution of copper sulphate and film of nitroso-dimethylanilin, thus cutting off all the visible rays and al lowing none but the invicible ultra violet to enter a perfectly dark room.
 In the room these rays were allowed to fall upon the eyes of a dog or a man who had been in the dark for fifteen minutes. The pupil immediately be- came sharply defined in luminous green against the violet-black back ground of the iris.
 This startling effect, they believe, is caused by the pigmented iris absorbing the ultraviolet rays while one of the tissues inside the eyeball, perhaps the purple of the retina, fluoresces when they enter.

THINGS WHICH A
 SCOUT MUST LEARN

Almost every ybody must have notic ed how different things look on a re- turn journey from what they do on { setting out. The scout must make himself familiar with both points of view, and keep looking back as he ad- yances, so that on the return jour ] ney he will in no sense feel lost.
 Estimating the distance objects are away from him is another important duty of the scout, and in most scout bodies prepared cards marked to scale arrived at by experiments are used. l The rifle, too, is used for this pur- i pose. The scout slips out the bolt and gazes down the bore He has learned i beforehand that a man on horseback is just contained within the circle of
 the barrel when 300 yards distant.
 Again. he knows that at roughly 500
 yards a mounted man takes up half
 the diameter an so on the smaller
 the man and horse the greater the dis
 tance away. that distance being easily
 calculated by dividing up the diameter
 of the rifle barrel
 | Other objects are treated in a similar
 way. Clouds of dust are never the
 same though to inexperienced eyes
 they may seem so. The scout can tell . at once whether the telltale cloud aris es from a column of infantry on the march or from cavalry cantering into , action, and likewise if it be artillery or just transport wagons that are pas sing in the far distance.
