EYES GROW KEENER IN DARK
Why the Sight Then Is More Sensitive
Than in the Light, Explained
by Scientists.

On entering a dark room after a
stay in the outside daylight the eye at
Once begins to increase In sensitivity.
At first this increase appears to be
slow, but after five minutes the IN
crease is quite rapid, the eye acquiring
a sensitivity several hundred times its
initial value, says a writer in the
Journal of General Physiology.
After 30 minutes sojourn In the
dark the sensitivity still increases, but
more slowly than before, and after 40
minutes or an hour the maximum SEN
sitivity is reached. The final sensitiy'
ity varies slightly with different peo-
pie, but in fully adapted condition the
eye is easily 5000 or 10000 times more
sensitive than 1t was at the beginning.
These facts are obtained from u
study of the sensitlveness of the eye
In the dark made by Selig Hecht o!
Creighton university, Omaha. Mr.
Hecht's study goes to show that the
increased sensitiveness is due to a re-
versible photo-chemical reaction with.
in the retina, involving p~hotosensitlve
substance and its two products of de-
composition.

DIFFICULT TO HANDLE FORKS
See Little of Benefit in the
Innovation.

1t is hard to believe the sensation
produced when forks first came into
use. 1t was in 1874, at a dinner given
by Henry Ia Of France. Here Is an
account by a royal lady guest. The
guests never touched the meat with
their fingers, but with forks, which
they carried TO their mouths, bending
their necks and bodies owe their
plates.
There were several salads. These
they ate with forks, for II is not con-
sidered proper to touch the food with
the fingers. However difficult it may
be to manage II, ii is thought better to
put the little forked instrument in the
mouth than the fingers.
1.-THE a%rtichokes, asparagus, peas
and beans were brought. 1t was a
pleasure to watch them try to eat
these with their forks, for some, who
were less adroit than the others,
dropped as many on their plates and
on the way to the mouth rs they were
able to get to their mouths.
"Afterward IA great silver basin and
a pitcher Of water were brought and
the guests washed their hands, though
II seems as If there would not be much
scent of meat and grease IN them, for
they had touched their food only with
those forked Instruments Ladies

MUCH REVEALED IN THE FACE
How Ones Occupation Can Be Told
by Those Who Have Made Study
Of the Subject.

II seems to be pretty well agreed
among those in a position to speak au-
thOritatively that associated with the
various occupations in life there is UNI
doubtedly n type Of face which more
or less betrays the calling of its own
er. Medical men, especially in hos
pital practice, find acquaintance with
these types valuable. They may not
be able, with the shrewdness of Sher-
lock Holmes or of other acute persons,
to read a mans past, present INT fu-
ture by a glance mt him In the street,
but they are able to gauge with con-
siderable accuracy how far the history

his probable occupation in life. Call

wears so characteristic an expression
as to make II not difficult TO identify
the vocation accompanying ii. We
speak also Of the legal face, the mu-
steal face, the dramatic face, and the
military face. This is merely a broad
classification, and the best authorities
disbelieve in the claims of the keen
observer that ne can differentiate to
a finer degree.

PEANUT GROWERS
NEED PROTECTION

Two million acres OF land in the
South are planted to peanuts. 1t is
estimated that each year the Ameri-
can people 100000 100
pound bags Of roasted peanuts. In
addition hundreds of thousands of
pounds are made into butter or oil,
or are shelled and sailed. The De-
partment of agriculture has issued a
receipt for bread made from peanut
flour that is claimed to contain four
times as much protein, eight times
as much fat, and nine times as much
mineral ingredients as wheat flour.
There are few products of American
soil that exceed in Importance the
peanut, yet the Democratic tariff law,
under which the country has been
laboring for eight years, reduced the
duty on peanuts 25 per cent below
the rates provided in the Republican
law, As a result, huge importations
OF peanuts have been pouring into
the United States, putting a wholly
unnecessary burden OF competition
upon the peanut farmers. One OF the
duties and pleasures Of the Republi-
can Congress will be the placing of
adequate tariff protection upon the
American peanut crop.

Why
1t Is Better to Wear a Smile
Than a Frown,

A big stockman has said that you
cannot do as much work with a mean
horse as you can with one that IS
easily managed, and that it takes more
time to milk an excitable kicking COW
than 1t does to milk one that is quiet
and gentle. A NEAR temper, he claims.
In most cases is the result of improper
handling. And the habits farm AMI
mails have are generally the result OF
their training. Patience and gentle
ness are the prime requisites to the
proper training of farm animals.
If 1t pays In time and trouble to
give the young animals the right care,
how much more essential is 1t to use
patience, tact and %gentleness in the
training and care of children. Many
a boy and girl has gone to the bad,
made a wreck of life, simply because
those who had the care of them did
not understand them. Instead of tact
full kindness they were harsh and Sc
we're. There are few, very few, who
are at heart vicious. Under the sur
face of what seems to be a mean, ugly
boy or girl, may be a poor, lonely
heart that is breaking for a sympa-
thetic smile, a word of encouragement,
a chance to be a friend to a friend.
That is why folks should always wear
a smile, a real genuine heart smile.
Then they never miss giving cheer and
a boost to the good to all they meet,
and If they have the responsibility of
a child, 1t should have the benefit OF
all the love and patience at their COM
mand.-Thrift Magazine.

How Secrets May Be Preserved.

INDIA'S MILLIONS OF GOODS"

st. Simeon Stylites, the noted Syrian
record of the many thousands of reli-

in Furnishing the body that the soul

30 years of his life sitting for the most
part of the time upon a high stone
pillar, set up in the ground, neal Anti
och, enduring the s%corching heat by
day and the biting frost by night that
he might thus overcome evil passions
and be better fitted for heaven"
Enthusiastic followers today of the
tenets of st. Simeon are the Sadhus
of India, says Grit. While the prac.
tice of doing penance to earn merit
is prevalent in other countries, there
is no land where ii is so universal,
or where it is carried to such a de-
gree of physical suffering as in India.

Where Ice Makes Crops.

We are accustomed 10 think or
Alaska as a moist part of the world,
but except IN the southern portion 1t
is rather arid, having a rainfall In
sufficient for the production of crops.
When an area is first cleared for
planting the soil is moist enough, he
ing frozen nearly 10 the surface the
year around. Then the ice in the
ground gradually melts. so that the
first few crops require only a slight
rainfall-the melting Of the ice furn'
ishing sufficient moisture to the roots
of the growing plants.
In the course Of a few years, how
ever. the ice recedeS TO a depth Of six
or more feet. and this reservoir Of
moisture is no longer available for the
crops. II then becomes necessary to
resort 10 various expedients, such as
"mulching,' for hindering evaporation
and ecOnomizing the available water.

How Carbon Black Is Made.

How is carbon black made? by
burning oil or natural gas. But the
carbon obtained from gas is much
blacker and better than the carbon
from oil.
Gas burners are erected underneath
steel channels that nov back and
forth. The carbon Is deposited on
these channels, but II is constantly
scraped off by their movement against
each other. Only 15 per cent of the
total carbon in the gas is recovered in
the form of black: thus the waste of
gas is enormous. Scientists are now
trying to produce carbon from gas by
mixing il with other gases without
necessitating combustion. Popular

INDUSTRY AND BANKING

Banking problems are largely indus
trial problems. If the community
prospers, the banker prospers. To
have community prosperity, industrial
activity is necessary to keep up a
constant circulation Of money.
To help stabilize business condi-
tons, some prominent bankers are
urging merchants and others engaged
in business to adopt a plan of cash
reserve, or surplus Il tide them over
emergency situations and furnish pro-
lection against temporary trade dull
ness.
Larger business firms have long
followed this practice.
A reserve of this kind would in
crease bank credit and be a valuable
asset for industrial stability in any
community.

ESTANCIA NEWS-HERALD'S
REPORT OF LAST SUNDAYS
OPEN AIR ENTERTAINMENT

Only about fifty tickets were sold
at this point for the Santa Fe ex-
cursion Sunday, and it is said only
two were sold at Willard. In the
ball game the Estancia players went
all to pieces and didn't play ball at
all. The score was % to 3 against
them. . But Santa Fe furnished en-
tertainment OF a sort, besides playing
ball. One excursionist SAID he saw
seven fights without moving out OF
his tracks, and bootleggers were SO
thick they had to wear badges to
avoid trying to sell to each other. The
fighting was a free show for the Es-
tancia people, one OF whom engag-
ed in it. And OF course they could
take the booze or let it alone, as they
pleased. Most of them-possibly all
let it alone.

EXPERT HUNTERS WAGE
WAR ON SAVAGE BEASTS.
Compared with some individ-
ual members of the mountain
lion, wolf, and coyote families,
Gulliver's hungry giants and
giantesses were light and dainty
eaters. All these animals are
classed as predatory, but a few
specimens develop exceptional
skill and cunning in killing cat
tie, sheep, and colts. They usual
ly acquire equal skill in avoid
ing traps, poison bats, and rifle
fire, and often do thousands of
dollars worth of damage before
they are killed.
The bureau of geological sur
vey, United States Department
of Agriculture, keeps a staff of
expert hunters in the field for
the express purpose of Kidding
government range lands of these
four-fOOted outlaws, and thus
assist in relieving the rancher.
A government hunter killed a
mountain lion near Roosevelt,
Ariz., that had destroyed 80
calves and three colts on a single
ranch. One wolf slain by anOth-
err hunter in New Mexico had
killed % calves. Another, in
Wyoming. slaughtered 30 head
of cattle before one of Uncle
Sans hunters shot the criminal.
A pair of Wyoming wolves that
had learned exceptional cunning
and cruelty ran a yearly board
bill amounting to about $500.
Their meal tickets were Cancelled
by a couple of well-aimed rifle
shots by a government hunter.
Two other wolves, which showed
gustatory preference for mutton
and young horse flesh, in a single
month killed $50 sheep and seven
colts, but at the end of the
month a hunter collected their
pelts.
