Barrier to Sight Of Stars.

A theory gaining scientific accept
ance is that in the void of interstellar
space there Is a substance which wells
from our view the stars beyond GER
tain limit of distance. Consisting pre-
sumably of microscopic and widely
scattered particles, 1t nevertheless
makes a barrier to vision when dis
tances are sufficiently great.
In other words, If We were far
enough away from the sun there would
be enough Of these particles between
ourselves and that luminary to render
1T invisible to us.
DR.. G. G. Abbott Of the Smithsonian
institution, said that the estimated
density of this substance" is one tril-
liOnth Of that Of the air We breathe.
Pretty thin, one might say. And yet
q sphere Tin spaced whose radius was
the distance from the earth to the star
nearest to our solar system would con.

Ben Frankiin's Simple Diet.

1t is amusing to read how Ben
Franklin thrived on biscuit, or a
slice Of bread, handful of raisins, or
tart from the pastry cook and a
glass Of water, varied at times by
boiled rice or a potato, or a hasty pud-
ding of his own making. Upon this
fare grew Americas greatest states
man and the worlds greatest philOsO-
pher. The rich and ambitious youth
of these days would scOrn such diet,
holding that it was the eating that
made the man. But Benjamin not
only saved time and money by his new
diet, but as he says: 81 made greater
progress from that greater clearness
Of head and quicker apprehension
which generally attended temperance
in eating and drinking" This abstemi-
Gus life did not seem to detract from
his health, but rather contributed to his
longevity. for he lived to be eighty
four years old.

BORN OF DESIRE FOR SPEED
From Earliest Ages Man Has Sought
Methods Of Transportation Other
Than His Feet.

Doubtless the first form of construc-
tive transportation was by the boat In
the form of float and our earliest and
simplest conception Is a man astride
a log, propelling it by hand and foot.
The idea of propulsion stimulated to
activity the inventive genius of mans
mind, and we find him developing vari-
Gus modes of land conveyances. The
camel was drafted into service with
the elephant, the horse and other ami
mails. Then came the sledge, the first
of natures own construction, simply
forked tree limb.
This gradually developed into more
perfect mode of conveyance, being
mounted on rollers or logs and here
began the development of the axle and
the wheel. The most primitive form
of wheel was the simple roller made
from a tree trunk, afterward differen-
tiated into a pair of fixed wheels by
trimming down the middle portion of
the cylinder in such a manner as to
leave the center Of the trunk as
rotating axle.
The next step was the substitution
of two shorter sections of tree trunks
attached to rotating axle; fiat, round
cylinders of stone doubtless were used
as well, and later a considerable adj
vancement was marked by the substi-
tuition of the fixed axle on which the
cylinders rotated.
The cart wheel similar to that which
may today be seen in the remote dis.
tricts of Mexico, is doubtless the next
noteworthy advance, and from these
primitive steps we find Aristotle and
other Greek philosophers interesting
themselves in these important advance
ments and earnestly agitating the
minds of the mechanics of that period,
in the effort to stimulate even greater
improvements.

You can use the movies to test your

But if you see well-Qperated pic

on the annals OF OphthalmOlOgy.
There is no surer way to inform
yourself of optical defects. The nor
NAL eye accommodates itself readily
to the fitting films of high grade,
while the subnOrmal eye makes its
complaint very apparent after a steady
focusing upon pictures.
"Persons with no defect of sight
mechanism should be able to enjoy at
the very least four sittings of from
one and one-half to two hours dura-
ton each per week without discom-
fort" says Doctor Balm. mo perma-

ONE OF WORLDS CURiOSiTlES
Fir Tree In Belgium Has Characteris-
tics Unlike Any Of Its Kind So
Far as Known.

What is claimed to be one of the
most curious trees in the world was
found in Belgium by M. Louis Pire,
president of the Royal Botanical So
ciety of Belgium. 1t is a fir tree, still
standing at last account, in the forests
of AliaZ, Canton Of Vaud.
"This particular tree" reports Pro-
lessor Pire, islands $500 feet above
the sea and is surrounded by a forest
of frs, which it exceeds in height by
30 to 40 feet.
"The trunk of this tree is ten me-
ters, or a little more than thirty feet,
In circumference at the base. At about
yard from the ground it puts out,
on the south side, seven OffshOOts,
which have grown into trunks as strong
and vigorous as those of the other
trees In the forest. Bent and gnarled
Mt the bottom, these side-trunks soon
straighten themselves up and rise per-
pendicularly and parallel to the main
stem.
another most curious fact Is that
the two largest side-trunks are con-
nected with the principal stem by sub
quadrangular braces resembling grid
ers. These beams have probably been
formed by an anastomosing of
branches, which, common enough
among the angio-sperms, is extremely
rare among cOnifers."

Varieties of Pearls.

Among the varieties Of so-called
pearls there are at times small dark
gray or blacklist pearls. which are
more or less fiattened and lack the
Jet black luster and perfect shape Of
the sO-called black pearls. These are
true pearls, probably secured from pin
ma shell. and possess some small value.
They may be easily distinguished from
the false pearls by their color and
shape. Very small round pearls of a
golden luster are secured from a small
avicula that has beautiful golden
luster on the inside. The avicula shell
is usually less than six centimeters in
diameter, and have never seen pearl
produced by this shell that was larger
than No. 6 shot. The big. perfectly
round yellow pearls offered for sale
are usually frauds.

WORTHY OF MORE MENTION
Brakeman Seldom Properly Appreci.
ated In Life or Appropriately
Honored in Death.

Following a railway accident recent
ly, there was great relief in official
circles when the report was made that
only a brakeman had been killed. Only
a brakeman! And there were hun
dreds of others waiting to fill his
shoes.
Only brakeman His name was not
given In the telegraphic report of the
accident. He had not made name to
which the world would pay tribute.
There were only a few friends who
knew him in the railway Y. M. G. A.
and brother and sister In Russia.
Home, family, friends he had left In
the land of oppression to come to
America, the country of opportunity.
Alone, ignorant, unframed in Ameri-
can ways, he was only brakeman In
the official report telling of his death.
Only brakeman Yet it is such as
he who are moving our freight, truck
ing the meat that supplies our tables,
hauling the coal that heats our homes,
bringing the milk with which we feed
our babies. Standing on top of their
freight cars, leaning against the wind,
with the dust of the deserts in their
faces, the roar of the engines in their
ears, and the CRIME Of the nations on
their hands, wherever you find cars,
engines, freight, SCOT, danger, there
you will find the brakeman, toiling
sleeplessly, hopefully, accomplishing
ly, with death stalking ever at his side,
to give us comforts and make our
homes happy. Yet when the car
couplers pinch him within their giant
jaws or the wrecked train brushes out
his life beside the railway track, the
reports that the public reads record
the death of only brakeman.-Mil-
waukee Journal.

Formation and Color.

The iridescence of nacre, or mother
of-pearl, is a matter of form and not
actual color. In fact, all "changeable'
colors are more or less the result Of
form even where there is fermentation
beneath, such as In certain ribbed silks.
When sunlight bears directly upon
finely ribbed metal, as file, there is
the same play of colOrs.
In the case of mother-Of-pearl an In
teresting experiment has been made.
An impression of the pearl was TAX
en- upon pure white wax. II was then
found that the apparently smooth sur
face Of the pearl had still sufficient
irregularities to impress upon the wax
a surface that resulted In similar color

THE PINK AND YELLOW
CARD Fixes STATUS
Both Indicate SIackers, Though One
Has Subscribed-But Not
Enough.

Two colors are going to figure prom.
tnently in this Third Liberty Loan
campaign, Yellow and Pink. Every
person who is financially able to buy
a bond and who refuses will have his
name recorded on the yellow card
the Stacker card.
In the last two campaigns for the
sale Of Liberty Bonds there were many
persons who slipped quietly into their
banks and made a small purchase OF
Liberty Bonds, when, as a matter Of
fact, by reason of their financial abil.
fty, they should have bought ten times
as many bonds. Such individuals are
considered by the federal government
as slackers, just as much as are those
who can but will not buy any bonds
at all.
In order to get a permanent record
of persons of this character, the Fed.
eral Reserve Director of Sales of 10 va
has sent to every county chairman a
supply of pink cards, upon which the
names will be recorded of such per.
sons as do not do their full duty--who
do their "bit" instead of their ut.
most"
These pink cards will be carried by
every Liberty Bond salesman, and
when an individual who ought to Guy
"a $1,000 bond will only buy a $50 bond
down goes his name on the pink card.
These cards will be handled the same
as the yellow cards-they will be re.
viewed by the county chairman and
his executive committees. The indi.
vidual will then be given another op.
iportunity to increase his subscription
to its proper amount, and, failing in
this, the cards will be forwarded to
the Federal government, for such &C.
ton as the Federal agents deem
proper.
{, Each state in each of the Federal
Reserve Districts has similar plans,
and no man may be a Stacker without
the knowledge of Uncle Sam.

WHAT WE CAN Do
Prominent Kentucky Educator Points
Out Duty Of American.
By FRANK L. McVEY,

President University of Kentucky.
There are a number of things that
we can do In this war. Some of US
can do all of them. Any of us can do
part Of them. These things are:
/. To enlist.
2. To go in the draft.
3. To work for the government.
4. To buy bonds.
s. To save food materials and
money by buying bonds.
Unless there are materials and food
the men who enlist, who 60 in the
draft. or who work for the government
cannot be maintained. The means by
which the government gets food and
materials and pays wages is through
the sale Of bonds. This is the key,
and when the government has the
funds it can 60 on with the war. II
1t does not have them its efforts must
cease. The duty of the patriotic citi-
zen is apparent.
