OBSERVE STARS Ill DAYTIME
u One Is Sufficiently Interested They
Can Be Seen From Bot
tom of Well.

Not only have the astronomers de-
yised means whereby they may OBJ
serve the stars in the daytime. but
anyone may, if he choose, see them at
such time if he will go to the trouble
to do so. At the bottom Of deep
well an observer on looking up will
see the stars if the sky is clear and
the SIN does not happen to be shining
directly into the well.
Why cannot the stars be seen from
the surface OF the ground in the day
time? They certainly give forth their
remembered that the moon is frequent
~ seen during the day.
The question resolves itself into the
capacity Of the human eye. During
the day the sun shines on particles
suspended in the atmosphere itself,
and its rays are reflected in every
direction from the different particles.
We thus have diffused light by means
of which one can see objects not di-
rectly in the sunlight
IL IT were not for this diffusion OF
light, or irregular refractiOn, as it is
called we could not possibly see any
thing not in the direct sunlight. Now,
these rays irregularly reflected enter
the eye in enormous numbers, so the
intensity is comparatively great with
starlight
But to person in a deep well or
mine shaft only the perpendicularly
reflected rays enter the eye, and from
only those particles directly over the
mouth of the shaft. Thus compara-
lively little light enters the eye, and
any starlight that comes down at that
time is easily perceived and the pres
ence of the star is recognized.

ARMENIANS VICTIMS
OF PRETENDED FRIENDS
Allies Promised Assistance To Fight
Turks But Fail TO Make
Coed

One of the special reasons why we
owe to the Armenians such assistance
as will save them from starvation is
that the Armenians have been victims
of misplaced confidence. The Allies,
who afterwards were allies of ours,
made promises to the Armenians that
misled them and embittered the Turks.
An article by Thomas Dan Heald
in Scribner's Magazine for November,
sets forth the facts in this case. When
Russia fell a prey to Bolshevism, the
Allies frantically sought for some
method of preventing the Turks from
gaining access to Persia, which would
be a source of supplies The Armen-
ians, suffering from centuries of Tur-
kiSh rule. seemed to offer hope. Offers
of supplies and of supporting armies
were made to the Armenians if they
would rise against their murderous
rulers.
Relying on these promises, the Ar
,nenians organized a revolt but the
help was never furnished. Whether
the Allies were unable to give the as
sistance or deliberately lied to the Ar
menians canot be told. Anyhow, the
hopes of the Armenians were wrecked.
and the Turks. enraged at the rebel
lion, started in on the most horrible
series of atrocities ever perpetrated.
Under our peculiar policy. we were
not at war with the Turks hence could
do nothing. We could have forced our
allies to make good OH their promise
but we did not. Therefore me may
fairly consider that part of the blame
for the Armenian sufferings rests on
our heads.
Having been in a measure a party
to the undOing of the Armenians, we
certainly should be willing to give
some from our abundance to keep them
alive until they can once more settle
down in the land OF their fathers.
Viewed from this standpoint, our
duty to Armenia is not based simply
on charity but is in a large measure
repayment of a debt Therefore, be
liberal

The rock of Gibraltar is 1,400 feet

broad. On the eastern side the cliff is

The only possible approach to the
rock is by land from the north, or
from the sea on the western side. AS
viewed from the ocean the Rock of
Gibraltar is impressive, strong, gloomy
and forbidding But flowers grow about
the steep walls. The great Victoria
batteries, occasionally fired, are
screened and sheltered by acacia
blossoms. Here are concealed 1O0-ton
guns, sinister, threatening. The north
and northwest sides are honeycombed
by Notifications. There is a town and
harbor on the west, protected by bat

to the summit Of the rock. Modern
guns of the most formidable pattern
frown from the heights. The town is
inhabited by british colony of about
25.000 people. Everything is under
