Why it Seems to Rain In Streaks In. stead of In Drops. When it Is raining just what does one see? We know that the rain con sists of drops, nearly spherical, falling either vertically or at an angle (if the wind be blowing). But what do we see? We see streaks through the air and not drops at all. The reason Is that the eye cannot follow the raindrop in its flight and so cannot see just the drop continually. The eye gets only one glimpse of the drop in one position, while an imprcss: is made on the retina for some distance by the drop .movIng. If the drop were still we could look at It as long as we chose, and the Image of the drop would be in just one place on the retina, but, if we let the drop escape from our direct view it makes an image, or, rather, a succession of images, on the retina, and that Is what we see. But why does the retina show this succession of Images? It certainly sees at ,.ay one time the drop In just one position, so It would seem that the last position seen would be the one. This is not the case, and the cause is due to what Is known as persistence of vision. We cannot quit seeing a thing immediately after getting a view of it. It takes about an eighth of a sec ond for the retina to lose an Image, and so this succession of Images will be on the retina at one time and will cause a streak. For the same reason the spokes of a rapidly rotating wheel cannot be seen except as a blur. For the same reason moving pictures are possible. New York American. BEAUTIFUL NOSES. They Are Very Rare, It Seems, and Deserve Honorable Mention. - Lovely eyes you will find- a-plenty, and, though finely cut mouths are scarcer, it will be a strange day when you do not see several. But the dis covery of a really beautiful nose Is an event of a lifetime. I myself have found exactly seven. And yet I con sider myself catholic In my taste for noses. I can enjoy a nose for its mere expressiveness, whether it Is ag gressive or aristocratic or humorous. But It is amazing how seldom this feature really satisfies the eye. The bridge may be too thick or too high, the line from the forehead too abrupt or too severely straight More often a nose that Is really promising In its be ginning falls in the end. It keeps on too long or not long enough, while the tip 'finds a: dozen ways to err, and a fine nostril Is rarely seen. In our typical American faces overcrowded with features as our houses are with furniture, the nose Is commonly dis proportionately large. But your really beautiful nose IsI a delight In every way. It is as far from sharpness as from coarseness. It shows strength without obtrusiveness, deli cacy without fastidiousness, breeding without arrogance. It suggests humor, spirit and daring. But I tell you can didly that there are nct more than 100 such in the 4,000,000 noses of New York. You are lucky when one happens to come your way.-Atlantic Monthly. On Prisoners of War. With reference to the modern treat ment of prisoners of war, It Is Interest ing to recall the views which R. L. Stevenson In his novel, "St. Ives," puts Into the mouth of a French prisoner of war in Edinburgh castle, which was turned into a military prison In the time of Napoleon. He says: "There Is a horrible practice in Englnd to trick out in ridiculous uniform and, as It were, to brand In mass, not only con victs, but military prisoners and even the children in charity schools. I think some malignant genius had found his masterpiece of Irony in the dress which we were condemned to wear-jacket, waistcoat and trousers of a sulphur or mustard yellow and a shirt of blue and white stripe cotton." -London Standard.
