BARTON Our eyes are adjus'ed to varying intensities of light. This is a great convenience. What we have to @o artificially with a camera, opening the lens wide When light is dim and stopping it down when the it is too wtrong, the eye does automatically with Its adjustable curtain that accommodates the opening in the lens to the degree of light. One of the tests which physicians use when the Breath ceases, ts to light a match and lift the eyelid f the patient; if the pupil of the eye fails to contract &s the match is held near, the patient is almost cer tainly dead This is not the fina! test, but it is a test conven fent and commonly used But one of the results of this opening and narrow ing of the pupli of the eye is that we are poor judges Of the intensity of light. Any artist will tell you that the whitest paper or paint is dark compared with the whiteness of undimmed light, Any printer Nothing is more common than to hear people tell about some bright night when “the moon was as bright I have seen nights which I should | be tempted thus to describe. But how accurate ts such a statement? How many moons should we need to give us as much light ag the sun? Would 10 moons da it? Would 100 moons? No, nor a thousand moons, nor ten thousand moons.

Two years ago there was a friend) of mine stopping with me who had two cars, and when he got the li conse for them he had them sent to my addreas.
