Objects are seen by the light
that falls upon them and is re-
fected to our eyes. A dark object
reflects but little CT the light that
falls upon it-perhaps less than
ene-fourth; a light colored object
reflects large part of the light
perhaps three-quarters.
/ If we are to see objects, the light
must fall upon them and be re-
fiected from them. The more
darby they are colored, the more
light is needed to enable US to see
them. The light that falls on OBJ
jects which we wish to see may be
termed useful light. Most electric
lamp bulbs when used without
shades or refectors throw out light
in all directicns-just as much to
the ceiling and walls of room as
down to the table top. Well de-
signed shades are made so that
they not only soften the light, but
also reflect some light that would
otherwise be wasted and direct it
downward and outward to the OBJ
iects that we wish to see.

Proper lighting requires two
things: First, that there be enough
light so that the eye can see quick
~ and easily; and second, that
this light be shaded and SO placed
in the room that the eye is not
strained by glare. Many homes
have soft, shaded light that is too
dim for good vision; others have
enough light but harmful glare is
q part of it; too few homes have
plenty of light without glare, which
is necessary for proper lighting
and the protection of eyesight.

The Great Manner of Poets.

At the end of the Vita NuOva Dante
announced his hope to write of Bea-
trice such things as had never been
written of any woman. Not to write
new kind of book, for women had
been praised before, as he implied, and
there had been poems of vision and
pilgrimages through hell; but his hope
was to excel. He determined to speak
no more of his blessed lady until he
could praise her worthily, and to
praise such a woman wOrthily would
be to write such things as had been
written Of no other. In the same mood
Milton promised his great epic-in
passionate love of the best before him,
and In the assurance of doing as well
or better-"I began thus to assent
both to them and divers of my friends
here at home, and not less to an in
ward prompting, which now grew
daily upon me, that my labor and in
tense study, which take to be my
portion In this life, joined with the
strong propensity of nature, might
leave something so written to after
times as they should not willingly let
It die" This is the great manner OF
the pOets.-John ErsSine.
