WHAT MAKES
ITLIGHTo.
BY DR.. William T.. Barton.

One of the achievements of the
last few years is an exploration oi
the carth's atmosphere higher and
more thorough than has ever
been accomplished before. Not only
have men ascendCd to unprece-
dentcd attitudes. but they have sent
much higher balloons with sclf-rcg-
istering Instruments. We are begin
ming to learn about the air.
We learned long ago that as we
rise toward the sun we do not grow
warm but cold: we know that the
temperature falls about one degree
for each 900 feet of elevation for the
first seven miles.
III we could go up about 200 miles
we should find ourselves. not in bis
| tering, heat, but in temperature
about 400 degrees below zero.
But we have learned a more sur
prising thing. 1t does not grow light
but grows dark. IL we could rise 80
miles. we should see the stars al
! midday. In the full blaze OF the sun
we should be in darkness.
The energy of the sun which VIC
know as light and heat is not trans
mitted as light and heat, any more
than the electric current in the wire
is pcrccptiblc as heat or light while
IL is in transmission.
| The light becomes light when the
energy Of the sun encounters the
friction of the coarser molecules OF
the atmosphere. The fine dust
which impcdcs the solar energy ant
darkness the light, is the real occa
sion of the light.
This fact seems to me to have
helpful practical suggestion as wei
as scientific value. Perhaps if w,
know little more we should discOv
er that those very qualities i'm life
which appear TO impede our plan.
and darken our hopes are essentia
to our highest welfare.

HARD TIMES

| A portrait painter sat in French
cafe slipping his. wine. His small bot
tie was finished and he was about to
order more when his eyes rested on a
newspaper lying near. He read the
headline Hard Times are Coming"
Hard times" he said, 1--WE must econ
omize.' so instead of calling for a
fresh bottle he called for his bill.
The landlord, knowing the artists
habits. surprised that the order for
the second bottle was not given, ap-
preached his customer and said. mot
going so soon? Is my wine not good ?"
Excellent" said the artist, but

his wife. THAT new silk dress you or

When the landlords wife Cancelled
her order she told the dressmaker
what her husband had said. I'VE must
prepare for hard times" she said.
Hard times are coming; my husband
and the artist say so."
Hard times" said the dressmaker,
hard times are coming. This is no
time to expand. Those improvements
I had intended to make must wait"
He put on his hat and crossed the
street to the builder with whom he
had planned additions to the show
room.
"The changes planned must wait"
he said. DO not proceed with the
work. Hard times are coming. We
must economize. When conditions
improve I will call you in but 1 cam
not invest money in the face of hard
times
When the dressmaker left the build
or sat down and wrote a letter: "My
dear artist friend, 1 must postpone
sitting for my picture. We are going
to have hard times and I think it best
to wait until things are settled before
INDUCING in this expense. Hard times.
you know, must be regarded"
When the artist received the letter
he went to the cafe. He ordered q
small bottle-just enough. he said to
sooth him. Staring at him from q
nearby chair was the newspaper he
had seen two days bfore. He picked
1t up. scanned 1t more closely and
found that 1T was two years old.

Thought in Action.

How many times have you faced
the fact that some one else has made
use of your" idea?
In other words, how many times
has the other fellow beat you to
it?"
IL YOU are an advertising man it
is probable that you have found in
the newspapers an idea fully work.
ID out which YOU had been turning
over in your mind.
If you are merchant or a man
ufacturer il is more than likely that
YOU have suddenly discovered that
some one has already put into opera
tion merchandising idea which you
had evolved and meant to use soon.
The history of human thought y
full of instances where two or more
men were working on the same idea
and where the one who reaped the
rewards was the one who brought
his idea first before the public.
The patent office and the internat-
national copyright, especially the
former, are in existence because
ideas are not exclusive properties oc-
curing to only one man. Two, five,
4 dozen men unknown to each other
and separated by thousands OF miles
may be working on the same new
| idea.
The successful man is the man who
| first translates his thought into ac-
tien.
| He is the man who when an idea
comes to him sets himself immedi-
ately to the task of realizing his idea
as something other than a mental
! fancy.
An idea which is not in action,
which is not materialized, is nothing
more than mental toy.
| 1t is useful, worthy. and profitable
only when it is a visible fact.
