THE PUREST NATURAL LIGHT

The scientists tell us that the frehy's
light is the purest in nature; almost all
other sources of illumination give forth
mixed form of energy that is only in
part illumination, to the human eye, at
least. But the fireAy gives forth light and
nothing else. An ordinary gas flame,
for instance, contains but three per cent
of light rays. Sunlight itself is only s.
per cent pure. 1t is no wonder, then, that
many a child has discovered that when
a frehy crawls over a book in the dark
you can read the type behind him, pro-
vided he is accommodating, and you read
rapidly. The illumination is said to come
from a photogenic plate of fatty substance
supplied with a profusion of fine tracheal
branches, which carry a rich supply of
oxygen to the fat cells and cause, at the
insects will, rapid combustion. Probab-
ly it is fortunate for the freAy that this
combustion does produce pure light, and
not As per cent of heat waves!
These are two theories to explain the
reason for this luminosity. One finds the
explanation to be an aid to sexual attrac-
ton, the other defense against birds
and other insect-eating foes. 1t is GER
tainly true that birds will not eat fire.
flies, and, after one attempt will not
thereafter even snap them up. The fire.
fly, as he fits about over the meadows
and through the trees, may well be pro-
tecting himself by his constant golden
flashes. ''Im no good to eat" If he is
attempting, rather, to attract the female
of the species, he certainly would seem
one of the most amorous of Gods crea-
tures-Walter Prichard Eaton in Har-
per's.

HOW MARBLES ARE MADE

Who knows how marbles are made, or
where they come from; Marbles" says
the Chicago Herald, "are made in great
quantities in Saxony, for export to India,
China and the United States. A hard,
calcerous stone is used. This is broken
into square blocks, and about one hundred
and fifty of these blocks are thrown into
a mill, on a fat slab of stone with numer-
Gus centric burrows in its face. A block
of oak of the same diameter as the stone,
a part of which rests on the small stones,
is made to revolve on the slab, while
water flows upon it. The whole process
requires but a quarter of an hour, and one
mill can turn out twenty thousand marbles
a week.
$50 marbles are made going through
the mill and getting the rough corners
rubbed off the edges smoothed down, and
the mass ground into globular form. And
boys are made into men much the same
way, by being run through life's school,
which is their mill" until their rough
corners and edges disappear and they be-
come rounded and smoothed and fit for
use in the world.
poverty, adversely, hard times, and
hard fare,-all have their uses in this
world to round men, and smooth them and
polish them for usefulness here and glory
hereafter."-Ex.
