KICKED BY HORSE (Continued from page 1) bright young men, left Monday for Paulding, Mo., where he will join his father, who has located there, and will make hie future home at that' place. Mr. and Mrs. George W. DeVore of New Philadelphia, Onio, who have been the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Whisler of this place, left for Benton, Harbor, Mich., Wednesday morning, where they expect to visit relatives for a few days before returning to their home. John Uhrick. an old and respected farmer residing a short distance south of here, is reported seriously U1 with a complication of diseases, owing to old age. The small child of Mr. and Mrs. Reason Schaffer, who has been quite sick the past week, is reported as somewhat improved. Mr. and Mrs. W. 8. Smith left Tuesday for a week’s vacation which they will spend at Farmland, their old home, with relatives and friends. C. W. Hocker and family returned to their home at Elkhart after visiting among relatives and friends in and around Monroe for the past week. They drove through in thejr large touring car. John, Joe and Oscar Houcks of Tipton county were guests of A. S. Keller the past few days, and while here were looking after their newly purchased land in Adams county. Miss Esther McNary returned Tues day from Hillsboro, Ohio, where she has been visiting among relatives during the past few months. Miss Esther will leave next Tuesday for South Chicago, where she will enter college and will take a thorough course in music at that place. She will be absent during the coming school term. Rev. McNary is making preparation to leave here about the twelfth of September so Aliceville. Ark., where he will attend the golden wedding anniversary of his father and mother. This is the first meeting of the ten children of this venerable old couple in twenty-five years, and is looked forward to with pleasure. The celebra lion will take place on September 16th and no doubt will be a most enjoyable occasion for those interested. The quarterly meeting of the M. E. church at this place will be held on Saturday and Sunday, September 10th and 11th. Rev. Beatty, district superintendent, will preside at these meetings. ‘ « Preparations are being made for the Monroe Sunday school picnic which will be held on September 24th. Watch for further particulars. The foundation for the new residence of Dr. Parrish is now completed and a large force of men will commence work at once to erect the building. which will be a beauty as well as modern, and will add one more to the growth of Monroe. Jacob Heller and wife returned from Sidney, Ohio, after a visit with relatives and friends. OFF DAY FOR THE POSTOFFICE. Quite a number of new faces were seen at the postoffice this morning. Two of the force are off on a vacation —Will Engle and Will Biggs—and two were on the sick list, these being Fred Vaughn and Clyde Rice. However. Uncle Sam's business must not stop, whatever happens, so new men were at once found. The places of Mr. R,ce and Mr. Vaughn were filled by Harve Rice and Mei Butler. Mrs. Biggs took the place of her husband, and John Christen that of Will Engle. Patrons of Uncle Sam may have wondered a little today while their mail arrived a little late; they may have become a little vexed, but they must keep in mind that everytiifng worth doing requires time to master. The employees of the postoffice have their troubles as well as the rest of us, and it may not be so easy as it looks to hand out mafl. So be a little patient with these new men.

LICHT ffIJHE EYES We Do Not Always See Things as They Really Are. COLORS WE CANNOT DISCERN Normal Vision I* Not Ablo to Pen»trato to tha Ragions Beyond the Violet—Some Results That Have Been Attained With the Camera. Those of no 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 appearance of the world at large is merely the result of the circumstance that the human eye perceives only a 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 chandeliers the rays are spread out. forming a spectrum, which we see as a rainbow colored band upon the wall. The colors of the spectrum merge into one another by Insensible gradations, though the older physicists were in the habit of recognizing seven—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 spectrum we find that it extends to a considerable distance beyond the violet In other words, there Is a region beyond 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 ultra violet light and ordinary visible light Is In the length of the wave, which Is, in tact the only difference between the different colors of the visible spectrum. If, instead of using a glass prism for forming our spectrum, we use one cut from a quarts 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 sliver would resemble anthracite coal. In other words, things appear as they do merely from the circumstance that in the process of evolution our eyes have developed a sensibility to a certain region of the total spectrum of the light which comes to us from the sun. If we have used an ordinary photographic plate in our experiment we shall find that it has received no impression from the red and yellow parts of the spectrum and very little from tbe green. The plate therefore suffers from the same defect as our eye. It Is sensitive only to a limited region. Recently, kowevef, 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 sensitive 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 extent every day by all photographers who employ color screens In their work, and it is well known that increased contrast can often be obtained in this way. If, for example, we attempt to photograph 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 viewing 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 photographs both by the infra red and the ultra violet Invisible rays.—Robert William 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 elack for a few moments, he deemed the time propitious to speak. “If you will be mine,” he urged as he leaned over the desk, “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 material side of the marriage question is worthy of some consideration.” She said nothing, but gently touched the cash register, and the words “No gale" sprang into view. With a sigh he left—Chicago Post Self laudation abounds among the unpolished, but nothing can stamp a man more sharply as ill bred.—Buxton.
