NATURE is BENIGN

With the sun coming up this morning
in clear sky and with vitalizing chill III
TIE air, how many of us in Key West. leag-
ing cut the newcomers here, who appreciate
our climate far more than we do. give
thought. even nov and then, to the kind-
nesses that Nature forever bestows. on US?
YER lew of US but that is no reflection
on cur faculties to appreciate the things
that are good and beneficent Human n
ture is such it is impossible for our inter-
est to be sustained in anything. whether it
be general, as is cur climate, or. horrible,
IS is the war
We are tired of war news, unless it be
excepticnable, and we have come to take it
as matter of course, in reversed ratio, %
cur taking our climate as matter of course.
It is well that human nature is So con
stituted for sustained interest in anything
breaks the human mind Those people who
have committed suicide because of the war
kept their interest at Sc sustained pitch It
tuned into brooding, and the only way out
of constant breeding is the end of life.
And what is true of war, Of climate. IS
true CT everything else in every walk. Of life.
Fame IS shooting star: it flares brightlvsfer
an instant and then is swallowed up in
blackness. The present generation has seen
more fame shine brightly and then die out
than any other generation in the history OF
mankind.
Motion pictures have had much to do
with shooting stars Who were the stars Of
yesterday? When was the last time you
saw the name of Mary Pickford in the pa
pers? Yesterday she was America s Sweet
heart" today she is forgotten.
Who speaks today about Wallace Reid,
Rudolph Valentino, Lon CLANCY, who were
thrilling millions yesterday?
And so it goes; time marches on, and,
as it marches, there is constant change CT
everything, including The mind of mar,
which holds fast to nothing, and it is a
blessing that it doesn't. =
Were we to concentrate on the horrors
of war, day in and day out, thinking of the
millions who loved and were loved who
have lost their lives through no. fault of
their own, it would not be long before this
would be world of madmen..,..ti s.e.ois
Nature is benign; she strives to take
care OF her children. and those who do4not
heed, try to ease their troubled minds in OBJ.

NIGHT VISION

Russian scientists have discovered q
method for soldiers to see better at night
socn after leaving lighted room. Details of
how it is done are not revealed
Under The method a red soldier leav-
ing lighted room win be able to acquire
"full night vision" within five or six mir
utes instead Of the usual three-quarters Of
N hcur. This is attested to by Krikor Kek-
cheyev. Nikolai Derbhavin and Sergei Pill
ipchik Of Moscow, scientists and medical
nen, who have advised American doctors of
the discovery but have withheld details.
It's suggested that the method is based
onra he theory that man with full stom-
ach and his sense e smell, hearing and feel
ing duiled, cannot see as well as one who is
slightly hungry, has not heard loud talk or
ncise recently and has not been active Just
before going from light into darkness.
= Scientists assert that the senses are
aympathesic. II is held that if person has
teen listening e very faint sound while
indoo5s he can detect noises outdoors that
Otherwise he might not have heard at all.
Aspeason sitting in a dark room has less
trouble seeing at nigh outdoors than enc
who hiss been in bright light
There is a hint that The method used
has something TO do with gazing at a
Radowed picture and trying to discern a
