How You can Be Transparent.

A liquid that renders flesh invisible
or transparent has been invented.
If a hand or arm is immersed in this
liquid its flesh win disappear almost
entirely from view; the bones. how
ever, VIII be visible, as under X-rays
The mixture makes the flesh of your
hand transparent because it has the
same index Of light reflaction as the
flesh. The light rays passing through
the liquid are not bent, or refracted
when they pass through the flesh
though they are bent by the bones
which have different index Of refrac
ton.
Different parts Of the body have diff
ferent induces or refraction; any par
can be made to disappear by submerg
ing it in the proper liquid. But no
all parts at once, SO the magic cloal
OF invisibility is still TO be discovered

SOME MORE HIGH ADVENTURE

A small party of scouts Of Troop +
San Jose, Cal. hiked OF into the hills
with a portable searchlight which had
been made by one OF the boys. In the
meantime another party Of scouts mo-
tored TO the summit of Mount Ham
ilton, famous as the site Of the Lick
observatory. Within ten minutes the
two parties were signaling each other
over a distance of fully . miles, no
small feat, for amateurs with amateur
outfits. The incident was a thrilling
one to the boys.

HOW

HOW v
aGOORS FATTEN FEMALES
FOR MARRIAGE MARKET
In Egypt a quaint wedding Gus
tom is the visit paid by the bride
and her friends to the bath. The
progress to IL partakes Of the
nature OF a procession, headed
by Arab musicians, with tam
bourines, flutes and other fnstru-
ments. The bride is usually
seated on a camel and covered
with a sort OF tepee from the top
of which the greatest palm
leaves obtainable are projected.
Over the door of the bathhouse
a handkerchief is huAg to denote
that only women may enter. AT
ter the bride and her friends
have bathed, they abandon them
selves to the enjoyment OF the
entertainment provided by the
musicians, story tellers and sing
ers.
Among the Moors, girls are
fattened for the marriage mar
ket much as the poultry farmer
treats his livestock. The staple
food of the women Is bread. and
it is chiefly with this that they
are fattened. Long-shaped pellets
of 1t are constantly forced down
their throats for a period Of
about three weeks before their
marriage.
The bride has to be put
through strange ordeal She
is placed In an ill-ventilated
wooden cage, usually white
washed, and il taken in it in pro-
cession through the streets to the
bridegroom's dwelling. After a
two weeks honeymoon the dis
carded box Is placed on the roof
Of the house In prominent posi-
ton. SO that all may see 1t. This
Is an official intimation that the
newly welded pair are ready to
receive friends.

the path of so-called stock-in-trade which JUS
tilted for many years; It is not like Hroshige's
picture where the individuality of nature is sudden

take her copy"
To Hiroshige Whistler much, in the opin-
ion of Noguchi. And there is notable similarity
in their handling of allied subjects similarity of
motif.
To the layman, perusal of this book of criti-
cism and definition whets desire to know more
about Japanese pictorial art. We have long re-
garded it as fantastic-pretty quaint, meaningless
stuff A little study of the better examples is sure
to end that conception. 1t seems that Noguchi has
hit upon the correct explanation; that superAuous
details are discarded. And after all this seems
natural, for eyes are not Photographic;
they what they seek to see and totally disregard
what the brain tells them is extraneous.
So it is that interest in a new phase Of Japan
ese life might be stimulated in America II were
deluged with books like Noguchis, containing prints
like those Of Hiroshge; a more tolerant and under
standing sentiment might be spread through the
nation and the ideal of true international friend

whose art has found its, way into their affection

to his works. This inadmssible to Western
art but is countenanced in Japan.
1t givesIone a shock to learn that Hiroshige has
been dead nearly sixty-three years. This because
it was but a decade since that his name was un-
known outside of those art circles here and in
Europe that fostered his introduction in the Occi-
dent At present, great proportion Of the Jap
anese prints of the better sort found on sale are
reproductions of Hiroshige, a prolific brush-plier
and triumphant landscape student Noguchi
amusingly records that the first specimens of his
art were dispatched to James Mcneil Whistler,
who later acclaimed the Japanese a master, by "an
insignificant Western missionary who strayed into
old Japan" and that the cierc's purpose was to
show Whistler some specimens of barbarous life.

from the Photographic of any great painters. To
the untutored most of his productions would seem
queer" Just what he strives for and achieves,
Noguchi sets forth as follows:
"The Western landscape art, from that of
Constable and Corot to that Of the late Sir Alfred
East, would be called the product of an environ
ment because Of its lack Of a certain dash in alb
straction or uuintessence. However splendidly it
is drawn, it will never escape from the details of
incidental phenomena since it is always too closely

The Storm.
BY THRoDosIA GARRISON.

J.. D.
- HE, souls Of the cruel. dead kings ride out
on the wind tonight
They slash the trees as they pass and the
branches shiver and fall;
They thunder with galloping hoofs on the roofs OF
cottage and hall.
And the fame on the hearth leaps high, and we
cross ourselves in fright
Kings that were slain in fury. and kings that
perished in pride,
They have bridled the black North winds and
loosed them to work their will.
They crash through the lowest valley, they
sweep up the highest hill, -
And the sound of thousand trumpets goes with
them the while they ride.
The souls of the cruel. dead kings out in the
hail and snow. ss
(That was mailed hand striking just now at
the window bars) Ez
wish might think of my placid saints or the/
friendly, Viglant stars;
But my heart rs blown and trarnpled leaf on the
roads the mad kings go.
