Radium is Making
the Industries Safer

Radium's role in industry as life
saver is less spectacular, but perhaps
even more important that it is as a
therapeutic agent. The great mass of
accidents in factories, in mines and in
other industrial institutions where
darkness is an agency of danger, are
being eliminated through the newest
invention of science-radium luminous
material The same material that il
Eliminates the watch dials is now be-
ing employed in great factories on
power line switches where fumbling
might mean serious danger to the oper-
ator
High pressure guages, which are in
stalled as an insurance against dan
gers, are deprived Of great deal of
their safety value through inconsist-
ant lighting. Their dependability as
indicators are increased tremendous
ly through making them safe twenty
four hours day by the application of
radium luminous material, which is in
variably luminous in the dark. Steam
guages and water guages of all sorts
are being provided with radium illumi-

Electric switches are often set in
places which are unlighted. This in
cludes switches for electric lighting
equipment which are usually visible
only after the light the ycontrol has
been turned on. A spot of radium
luminous material on the switches
makes them easily located in the dark.
so that in emergency they may quickly
be made use of. When other lights
fail, fuses blow out, or wires break
down radium will glow dependably
without danger of explosion or of
burning.

Every dog in Pennsylvania that is

have a 1921 license tag, is an outlaw
and any peace officer in the State may
dispose of such unlicensed dog and
prosecute the owner. The period of
grace for the licensing of dogs expired
on January Is and justices of the
peace may no longer issue licenses
but they must come from the county

fhe Nearsighted Child.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is owl

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is owing
to a deformity of the eyeball; il be-
comes so long that the image is
focused in front OF the retina instead
Of exactly upon it. Few il any chill
dren are born with short sight, but
the softness of the eye, which per-
mits the eyeball to lengthen, is often
a family peculiarly that children in
herit.
The trouble comes soon after the
child begins its school work; and, once
begun, the defect is likely to increase
with each year of school until finally
the inconvenience or the actual dis
tress obliges the child to turn to
glasses to correct its vision Some
times it is not merely inconvenience
that the condition causes; the myopia
may become malignant myopia, in
which event changes in the eye begin
that lead TO incurable blindness.
II child keeps his normal vision
until the age of fifteen or sixteen, he
may be regarded as no longer liable
to nearsightedness. The progressive
increase in the defect usually ceases
soon after the twentieth year.
Only the physician can make an ex-
act diagnosis of myopia. The diagnosis
that a non-medical optician makes is
not Trustworthy, because the spasmodic
contraction Of one of the eye muscles
may cause an apparent myopia, which
unless atropine is used temporarily
to paralyze the muscle cannot be dis
tinguished from the real thing. II is
easy to guess, however, that a child
is suffering from nearsightedness
when he has prominent eyes and d.
lated pupils and, though bright and
quick at play, seems dull or mis-
chievous at school-dull because he
cannot see that blackboard and mis-.
chievous because, not being able tc
take part in the school work, he mus
lind some other outlet for his energy
But the trouble may not be owing tc
myspia alone, but partly or wholly tc
astigmatism.

The Bull in the Berry Patch.

When young lady meets a bull UNI
expectedly what should she do? Young
ladies who would like to know the
answer to the question may find il in
this anecdote, which contributor
sends us. The heroine was his mother.
The scene is Vermont.
When the berries were ripening, he
says, my mother, then a young and
beautiful bride, went to visit her
brother, who lived on a large farm
perhaps five miles from the village in
which my father had established Him
self. One day she put on her
brothers hat and, taking two pals,
started for the berry fields which were
on the hill opposite the farmhouse.
Absorbed in her berry picking, she
paid little heed to anything else until
a strange sound caused her to look
round. Imagine her dismay when she
saw close to her fierce looking bull
approaching her threateningly. To run
was useless; the nearest fence was
far away. For moment she lost all
hope; then she suddenly remembered
how she had once seen her brother
brighten some cattle. The memory
gave her hint, and she took it. Her
inspiration had come none too soon
for the bull was charging.
She threw her light print dress over
her head, pulled her hat down over her
eyes, clutched her pals and began
clashing them together and believing
from beneath the skirt. Doubtless her
own terror gave her believing an un.
earthly sound. At any rate the bull
first stor 7ed and lifted his head ir
amazemont, an ten as his amaze.
ment changed to fright he wheeled and
with tail flying high, started for the
farthest corner of the lot.
My mother remained in the field
and filled her pals. Then, returning
to the house, she told her story. Years
afterwards heard her laugh and sa,
that she had frightened the bull more
than he had frightened her.
