good eyesight. On one occasion some

his trade were stolen from him, but

NOT INVENTOR OF CAMERA
Honor That Has Been Given by Many
to Distinguished italian Seems to
Be Undeserved.

Because in the year 1869 Glambat-
tista de la Porta, in his book on
natural magic" gives description Of
the camera obscura the invention of
that instrument is ascribed generally
to him. 1t is claimed for him that he
not only used lens but an inclined
mirror as well, thus anticipating by
hundreds Of years cameras Of reflex
order. 1t is not however, to be imag-
ined that his instrument was of the
portable kind. Rather was it q dark
chamber in which an image Of the out
door-scene was thrown upon Whit
ened wall, through the medium Of a
small hole on the opposite side.
1t Is not at all unlikely that POrta
was simply the recorder of a phenom-
enon known to Others than himself,
but not by them reduced to writing.
There was one distinguished individual,
at all events, who had observed the
same optical effect, thus anticipating
Porta by some years 1t was about
the beginning Of the sixteenth century
that Leonardo da Vinci said, eff you
will place yourself in an Theoretically
closed room facing a building, land
scape, or any other object directly
lighted by the sun, and then cut q hole
in the shutter, an image of the object
outside will be thrown upon any sur
face facing the hole, and it will be re-

The Cost of Life.

ITO live is always to be hurt in

Gently. 1t was the half-resentful, half
wondering voice of one still new to

The statement is true, and the more
fully alive one is, the more keenly
are the hurts felt. Every joy brings
with it it's possible price of suffering.
Every love opens door to sorrow,
every gift brings its weight of response
bility; wider knowledge brings the
larger drain upon sympathy. The high.
err one rises in the scale of being. the
greater becomes not only the capacity
for JOY, but also the twin capacity for
suffering, but who would choose TO be
clod to avoid feeling, block Of

PROUD OF OLD CLOCK TOWER
Citizens of Halifax Cherish Building
Which Was Erected by the Fa-

Halifax, n. s., the chief British mil
Hnry and naval station IL America. Is
enc Of the most strongly fortified in the
world. The citadel, its chief fortress,
pronounced by engineers the most
formidable in America, occupies COM
marding eminence overlooking the city
and harbor. The citadel was begun
about 1893, under the supervision of
the duke of Kent, father of Queen Vic
tOria, and was completed in 1914. At
the time the fertilization was begun
the duke was governor of Nova SEQ
tia and commander in chief of the
British forces in America. The cita-
del was named by him in honor of his
father, George III, king of Great Brit
ain.
The duke Of Kent left other remind

them the quaint old clock tower and
clock at the foot of Garrison hill and
opposite 10 the main entrance of Fort
George. The clock In the tower, which
was brought from England, and Is stiK.

Of George III.
Though quaint and somewhat crude
ia appearance, and suffering by contrast
with the more modern structures in its
vicinity, the old tower and clock are
still cherished with pride by the citi-
Zens of Halifax as reminder of the
residence among them Of one who
would himself have been king " Eng

Demand for Canned Milk of Goats

California has a large ranch stocked
with Swiss and Nubian goats, the milk
froIa which is condensed and canned.
Goats milk is said to be very rich, and
is in demand as nourishing food for in
valids. A well-bred mich goat will pro-
duce u times its weight in milk. A
COW produces yearly three times her
weight if she is good mixer, but the
goat cannot be depended upon for a
steady supply of milk at all times
through the year. Therefore it is said
that canning is the best method of
making a goat dairy profitable. An H.
ounce can of condensed goat milk re-
tails at 20 cents in the West, and the
sale has thus far been confined chiefly
