Merchants, and their customers artists and others--all have a prac- tical or pleasurable interest in a new method of creating artificial day- light, as. brought forward by George Sheringham, an English designer of beautiful fans, panels, and silk goods. The Society of Illuminating Engineers, Londen, recently wit- nessed demonstrations of this latest invention in the realm of lght. Illuminating engineers who have attacked this problem have perhaps too often been influenced only by the laws of physics as they understood them. Apparently most of these engi- neers have failed to take into con- sideration the fact that light itself consists of color or, perhaps more accurately speaking, is color. His training as an artist had given Sheringham a different conception of light than that commonly held. Therefore, he possessed an initial advantage in undertaking his pecu- liar fask, says the Illustrated World. No object In itself has color. Every school boy is at first nonplussed and ineredulous when his teacher informs | him that all objects in the dark are black. It is hard for him te imagine ! | that his bright red tie can lose its glorious effulgence. The fact that ob- Jects take their color from the light rays they reflect never does become a part of the standard beliefs of the average person. So this physical fact is often over- looked by the practical scientist when he is at work on the problem of re- | taining the natural colors under the rays of an artificial light. Of course, artificial light contains all the colors | of daylight. But these colors are not | In the same relative proportions. For | example, while red retains its natural brightness and strength "under the electric lamp, some shades of green lose about one-half and blues reveal only about one-ninth of their real color values. Certain shades, like navy blue, take on the appearance of black away from daylight. With the new method as developed by Sheringham, even such elusive tones as light yellow, which are often | completely lost, so much so, in fact, that some artists refuse to work with under the evening lamps. | The invention consists of a shade, | {lined with a varied design in colors | | worked out In accordance with cer- | tain laws of mathematics. The light from an incandescent bulb striking the shade is reflected and diffused. | The various colors of the spectrum, from red to violet, have their excess | rays (as in the case of red) absorbed, and the contrast between the strong- est and the weakest, therefore, he- tome less marked. In other words, because the strong rays are toned down the weaker rays gather bril- lancy by the diminution in contrast, Every woman who wishes to match the proverbial ribbon will be able to come out of the store assured that she has made no mistake and has obtained exactly what she went for, provided the new color reflector | has been utilized in making the se- | lection. Ties for men, dress goods, | in fact everything in which colo plays an important part in the pur- chase and sale of, goods, can be | bought much more conveniently and without the trouble of taking the the store, | The most important use to which | the discovery will be put lies, | In the for instance, ng of the col- reliable substitute for daylight. In color printing, in the making of wall paper, calicos, and the textile indus- tries in general, a similar handicap ificial daylight es- | tablished handicap will be] removed. -- Too Prompt. The Bishop of Southwark, who re- this | cently created a mild sensation by | announcing his decision not to open | any more bazaars, preferring, he said, | to devote himself to other more im. portant work, is famed In clerical eir- cles as a teller of somewhat uncon- ventional stories. One of the best concerns a certain cou parson | who, during a long droug i Wh the service was over, a sexton offered his congratulations. "Your prayer? for rain was soon answered, sir," he sald!

One small town, how- ever, having been told that a strang- er had arrived, immediately closed its shops and organized procéssions demanding independence, only to find later on that no member of the Mil- ner Mission had been near them at all. "And thus,' 'remarked one man ruefully, "a whole'day's business was lost!" In another case, however, the boy- cott was carried to much greater lengths, involviag even persqpal in- convenience, by an individual, a gold- smith, who went to buy a safe. Unfortunately the safes which he was shown bore'the legend "Milner." That was enough for the patriotie Egyptian. He would not have a Mil- ner safe any more than he would THE "CONAN DOYLE."

This exchange of complithents Between the distinguished author and the master of Sir Arthur's mari time namesake is a sequel to an exceptionally lively incident of the war, in which both the "Conan Doyle" and her skipper covered themselves with glory.
