LIGHT IS ENERGY.
If the Rays Are Not Absorbed They
Will Travel on Forever.
If one could get an inclosed room
with perfectly mirroring wall.- and ^
light an electric buib in it for a sec
ond and then suddenly annihilate J
the bull> the light would go on refleeting
back and forth forever. So
if one couid look into tin's room a
year later he would see tlie lighted
bulb, which no longer existed, mirrored
in all the walls of the room.
However, if the bulb had been
left in the room alter being extinguished
it, being dead and not a
perfect reflector, would finally ha reabsorbed
all the light back and
have converted it into heat.
If light from an object is not absorbed
it, being energy, travels on
forever. Take a church steeple with
the sun shining on it and no clouds
TVia lirrVtt rnflnnto/l frnm tlio
QUUTCi XUU llg Ub A ^UVV ivu 41 VU4 fuv
steeple will go out into space and
travel forever unless it strike some
matter in space. So a person on a
distant planet could see the steeple
if he had glasses strong enough?
the matter of seeing being merely
to receive enough light from the
seen object to impress the retina.
If this celestial observer were
very far away the light of course
would take some time to get to
him and he could not possibly see
the steeple as soon after the sun
struck it as could an observer on
the earth.
In the regions of space there are
rays of light that were reflected
from people and buildings ages ago. ,
If some one were there to catch
these rays he could actually see
things that long ago ceased to exist
except as light rays.
Astronomers do actually see such
things, for they can look at stars
lar."

Five or six doses will break any case, and
if taken then as tonic the Fever will not ]

whose light has taken forty years to
get to the earth. If these forty
year stars were to go out no one
on the earth could possibly see
them go out for forty years. They
would still be seen in the sky as
bright as ever for forty years more.
This fact demonstrates more
plainly than any other that what
one sees is light and not objects.
A friend's face, for instance, is not
seen. Nothing is seen but the light
reflected from that friend's face.
The friend could be annihilated and J
one would see his face for a short
time thereafter?that is, would see
the light from his face.?New York

The Arabs of Syria.
Among the Arabs of Syria a man
changes his name after the birth ol
his eldest son, assuming the name
which has been bestowed upon the
heir, with the prefix Abu, meaning
"father of." Thus, if the son is
called Fudlc Allah, "God's bounty/'
the father will henceforth be known
as Abu Fudle Allah, "father of
Gud's bounty." In like manner the
mother would become known as
Em Fudle Allah, "mother of God'?
bounty." This custom is not merely
one of common speech, but extends
to all occasions and even to
legal documents. Still more strangely,
even when a man though married
has no son the courtesy of ori- i
ental society demands that he ?
should be addressed as Abo Salim \
or Abou Mahmoud, after an imaginary
son whom politeness confers
upon him.
A Bird In the Hand.
Young Barnes'had married contrary
to his father's wishes. Meeting
his parent soon afterward, the
father said angrily:
