Important Word to Advertisers We wish to remind advertis ers that copy for change of ad vertisements In The Gazette must be in this office not later than 8 a. m. on Tuesdays and Fridays in order to be sure of insertion in the papers of those days. Otherwise we cannot in sure insertion. When it comes In later than this it is impossi ble to give it the proper atten tion If it can be handled at all. Advertisers who get their copy in by soon on Mondays and Thursdays will secure better dis plays and more satisfactory ser- , vice in every way as we will then have more time to devote to1 them. It is as much to the advertiser's interest as it is to ours to have a neat, well-displayed, correct advertisement and to this end we ask your co operation by getting copy in ear ly and giving us sufficient time in which to properly handle it. New business will, of course, be handled as well as possible and as late as possible before go ing to press. Penny column advertisements can be handled as late as 1 p. m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. These regulations are neces- sary because of the constantly in creasing demand on The Ga sette's advertising department. Mr. Advertiser: Help ns tou give you the best possible results by giving us plenty of time on your copy. . 1 i -If you like The Gazette and think it Is good county paper, peak a good word to some friend or , neighbor who is not a subscriber If yon can thus indues him to take and read The Gasette yon will be doing botk him .and - the paper a favor i which, will be appreciated by all parties concerned. LIGHT AND THE EYES We Do Not Always See Things as They Really Are. COLORS WE CANNOT DISCERN Normal Vision Is Not Able to Pane trata to the Regions Bsyend the Vio- UtSome Results That Have Bsen Attained With ths Camera. Those of us who are fortunate enough to possess normal eyes are apt to feel instinctively that we see things as they are. This Is a mistake. The aDDearance of the world at large la merely the result of the circumstance that the human eye perceives only comparatively small part of the total radiation which comes from the sun or is given out by a lamp. To make this a little clearer we may consider one of the oldest experiments in optics, the passage of a ray of light through a prism. When a beam of sunlight passes through a prism of glass such as is often found on old fashioned chande liers the rays are spread out, forming a spectrum, which we see as a rain bow colored band upon the wall. Tle colors of the spectrum merge Into one another by Insensible gradations, though the older physicists were iu the habit of recognizing seveD red. orange, yellow, green, blue. Indigo and violet These colors which the eye perceives are by no means the only ones present In the spectrum. If we perform the experiment in a dark room and place a photographic plate in such a position as to receive the image of the spec trum we find that It extends to a con siderable distance beyond the violet In other words, there is a region be yond the violet which the eye cannot see. but which the sensitive plate Is able to photograph. This region Is termed the ultra violet, and the light from virtually all sources contains a greater or less amount of this ultra violet light The only difference between this ul tra violet light and ordinary visible light is in the length of the wave, which is. in fact the only difference between the different colors of the visible spectrum. If, instead of using a glass prism for forming our spec trum, we use one cut from a quartz crystal we find that the ultra violet spectrum is very much longer, which shows us that the shortest waves of light are not transmitted even by the clearest glass. If your eyes were sensitive to this region of the spectrum instead of to the other the appearance of things would appear black, our windows would be as opaque as sheets of iron, and polished Bllver would resemble anthracite coal. In other words, things appear as they do merely from the cir cumstance that in the process of evo lution our eyes have developed a sensi bility to a certain region of the total spectrum of the light which comes to us from the sun. If we have used an ordinary photo graphic plate in our experiment we shall find that It has received no im pression from the red and yellow parts of the spectrum and very little from the green. The plate therefore suffers from the same defect as our eye. It is sensitive only to a limited region. Recently, however, means have been found of rendering plates sensitive to the entire visible spectrum and to a certain extent to the infra red or the extension beyond the red analogous to the one beyond the violet. With a photographic plate rendered sensitive to the entire spectrum we could obtain an idea of how things would appear If our eyes were sensi tive to regions other than the one adopted by nature by excluding from the lens of the camera all rays other than the ones with which we wish to operate. This is done to a limited ex tent every day by all photographers who employ color screens in their work, and it is well known that in creased contrast can often be obtained in this way. If. for example, we attempt to pho tograph white clouds against a blue sky without the use of such a screen we get scarcely any trace of the clouds at all. whereas if we place a yellow glass in front of the lens the clouds come out snow white on a very dark background. We can see this same effect by view ing the clouds first through a piece of deep blue glass, which is what the photographic plate "sees," and then through the yellow plate. At my laboratory at East Hampton. N. Y., I have pushed this principle to the extreme and have obtained photo graphs both by the infra red and the ultra violet invisible rays. Robert Wil liam Wood In Century. A Mechanical Answer. The well to do patron of the place had been attentive to the cashier for some time, and now, business' being slack for a few moments, he deemed the time propitious to speak. "If you will be mine," be urged as be leaned over the desi. "every comfort that you may desire will be yours. True, I am no longer young, but I have money, and I can provide for you as few young men could, and surely the materia) side of the marriage question Is worthy of some consideration. She said nothing, but gently touched the cash register, and the words "No Sale" sprang Into view. With a sigh he left. Chicago Poet Self laudation abounds among the unpolished, but nothing can stamp a man more sharply as 111 bred. Box- ton. . LOVE AND FLOWERS. Ths Advice a Oisesrnlng Woman Gave Unto Hsr Daughter. My daughter,' wouldst thou know a man's secret? ' Go to the florist, then, 0 simple one, for In him every mas reposeth his confidence. Yea, by the flowers Which he aendetb a woman shall ye Judge the quality of a man's love, likewise tb quantity and exact stage. . As violets pass unto roses, and roses unto cheap carnations, and carnations unto naught ho passer b bis grand pas sion from the first throes into matri mony. Lo, at the beginning of a love affair mark with what care a man selectetb bis flowers in person, that not a wilted violet shall offend thine eyes! Yet as time passetb be telepboneth his orders and leavetb it all to the clerk. And there cometb a day when he murinuretb wearily. "1 say, old chap, make that a standing order, will you?" Then the florist heaveth a sigh, for he knowetb that the end is at hand. Yea. this Is the mark of an engaged man who doeth his duty. So after the wedding bouquets all orders shall cease together, and until be seeketb flowers for his wife's grave that man shall not again enter a florist's shop, For stale carnations, bought upon the street corner and carried borne in a paper bag, are a fit offering for any wife. Yet a funeral rejolcetb the flor ist's heart and maketh him to smile, for he knoweth that a widower's next order shall be worthy of a new cause and the game shall begin all over again. Verily, verily, my daughter, 1 charge thee, account no man In love until he hath gone forth into the gardens and the fields and plucked thee a few dinky pansles or stray weeds with bis own bands. For when a man sendeth thee violets it may mean only sentiment and when he sendeth thee orchids It may be only a bluff, but when he doeth real work for any woman it meanetb business. Selahl London Tit-Bits. HAD LUCK ON THE WAY. The English Thief That Dropped In to See His Lawyer. Here is a story of a genuine instance of the kind of business which fell to the lot of a once notorious London "thieves counsel." One day a thick set man, with a cropped poll of un mistakably Newgate cut. slunk Into this counsel's room, when the follow ing dialogue took place: "Morning, sir," said the man, touch ing his forelock. "Morning." said the counsel. "What do you want?" "Well. sir. I'm sorry to say.sir, our little Ben. sir, has 'ad a misfortin. Fust offense, sir, only a wipe." "Well, well!" interrupted the coun sel. "Get on" "So. sir. we thought as you'd 'ad all the family business we'd like you to defend him, sir." "All right" said the counsel; "see my clerk" "Yes. sir," continued the thief, "but I thought I'd like to make sure you'd attend yourself, sir. We're anxious cos it's little Ben. our youngest kid." "Oh, that will be all right! Give Simmons the fee." "Well, sir," continued the man. shift ing about uncomfortably. "I was go ing to arst you. sir, to take a little less. You see. sir" wheedlingly "it's little Ben his first misfortin" "No, no!" said the counsel impa tiently. "Clear out!" 'But, sir, you've had all our busi ness. Well. sir. if you won t you won't so I'll pay you now. sir." And as he doled out the guineas. "I may as well tell you, sir. you wouldn't 'a' got the counters if I hadn't bad a little bit of luck on the way." From "The Recollections of a K. C." by Thomas Edward Crispe. Funny For Her. A New England lad was intently watching his aunt in the process of making pies and cake. He seemed very much inclined to start a conver sation, an Inclination, however, which the aunt in no way encouraged. She continued in silence to assemble the Ingredients of a mammoth cake. "Tell me something funny, auntie," finally ventured the boy. "Don't bother me. Tommy," said the aunt "How can I when I Am making cake?" "Oh. you might say. 'Tommy, have a piece of the pie I've Just made.' That would be funny for you." Exchange. Waited Twenty Year For a Solution A bit of pure and harmless mischief at recitation at Yale was the device of a member of the class of '72. who Introduced at recitation a turtle covered by a newspaper pasted on the shell. The tutor had too much pride to come down from his perch and solve the mystery of the newspaper movement, but twenty years after, meeting a member of the class, his first and ab rupt question was. "Mr. W., what made that paper move?" A Relief. "Johnny," said the boy's mother. "I hope you have been a nice, quiet boy at school thla afternoon." . That's what I was." answered John ny. "I went to sleep right after din ner, and the teacher said she'd whip any boy in the room who waked me up." Boston Post. The Change. "Yon didn't use to object to your hus band playing poker." ' , "No, but that was before I learned to play bridge. It la. a lovely game, but I cannot afford to play It unless he tops playing poker." Houston Post.

Some Making Large Profits From Strange Devices. Van Norden's Magazine. Wireless telegraphy and the con quest of the air have taken a firm hold on the youths of America, the hundreds of lads of tender years, but advanced In ideas devoting their talents to the invention or construction of machines in botn these lines. While these devices are largely for pleasure, young America has proved his ability to turn inventive genius into utilitarian channels. One of the most remarkable inventions made by a boy is a device for sig naling on elevated roads. It is in use on part or tne urooKiyn u system and is the work of Morris Schaeffer, 15 years old, a public school boy. Morris was offered $18,000 for his patent, but on the advice of friends refused it. The boy expects to be able to get $50,- 000 for the idea from the railroad company. Of quite a different caliber is the machine invented by Donald H. Miller, a student of Columbia Uni versity. This, by mere touching of keys, similar to those on a type writer, translates Chinese Into . Eng lish. It can also be used to trans late any other language. The con trlvance resembles an adding ma chine. From the darkest India comeB the record of the achievement of Claude Moore, the son of a poor coal miner. Young Moore, who is 20 years old, was reduced to the sum of two cents when he received word from the pat ent office that it had issued a patent on a corn husker. Thereupon Claude, who Is a thrifty youth, sold his patent to the harvester trust for considerable real money. A most ambitious piece of work has just been successfully finished by Francis Lee Hershoff, the young nephew of the famous yacht design er. This is the construction of the high-power racing automobile with which has been developed the tre mendous speed of 80 miles an hour. Herrshoff has also patented a de vice for subduing the glare of acety line lamps. The mechanism does away with' the necessity of extin guishing tlie lamps, for It softens the" glared "'making it hardly more noticeable than an oil lamp.

An editor commenting on the fact says: "Those corsets should be done away with and if the girls can't live without being squeezed we Buppose men could be found who would sacrifice themselves." As old as we are we'd rather devote three hours a day, without a farthing of pay, as a private corset, than see these girls dying in that manner. Office hours almost any time.
