PAGE THREE SIGHT METER TO MEASURE LIGHT A deviee of recent invention that promisés to become an almost indispensable feature of modern household equipment is the sight meter. This is designed, primarily, as a gauge of light in a room, just as the thermometer is a gauge of heat. It goes farther, however. It not only measures the intensity of light given ‘out by, lamp or bracket, but records it in such terms as to enable the housewife to use the lighfing service at her disposal to the best advantage when engaged upon some task which, if performed under an_ inadequate light, might pees injurious to her eyes. The’ sight meter is a portable instrument and, apparently, simple of construction. It consists of a disc and a meter placed side by side in a bakelite case about four inches long by two and one half inches wide. The dise is a sensitive plate, and light falling upon it generates electricity lof the You Bet section. small in amount but proportionate . _to the intensity of the light received. i This electric current is transmitted along wires to the adjacent meter upon whose dial is a graduated scale marking the light units suitable for '!

A needle indicates upon the scale the quantity of light shed upon the dist and from this the person, engaged in any visual tasks mentioned can determine whether he or she is receiving sufficient light for that particular task. Not only, then, does this remarkable device measure light but it indicates the minimum amount of light one needs for every purpose, just as the ordinary household thermometer indicates healthful temperatures.

State Fair . i}; Rebecca. ase Rebecca and Abigail Bates N AFTER. years, when admiring tourists and school children. asked the Misses Rebecca and Abigail Bates to write in their albums, they always signed themselves, with due “pride, “The American army of two, in the War of 1812.” One bright August morning, only two months after the formal declaration of war, a British battleship appeared off the coast of Massachusetts, making straight for the little village of Scituate, whose harbor was _ filled with small, defenseless fishing craft. The only ones to, see the ship were and Abigail, girls in~ their— teens, who. happened to be up in the lighthouse of which their father was keeper, trimming and polishing the big lanterns. Their father was away, bartering for meal in a neighboring village. So. the two girls ran out “and gave the warning. Back at the lighthouse Rebecca and Abigail again looked out over the sea, and saw that five small boats, bristling with armed soldiers, had left the ship and ‘were bound for the harbor. Now Rebecca had beguiled many a long hour in their lonesome home learning to beat out a rhythm on an old drum, of producing a squeaky but quite distinguishable tune on her father’s fife. Armed with drum and fife the two sisters again ran out of the lighthouse, took their stand behind a* low dune near the shore, and set ‘up a dismal little tune. At first their music seemed rather a joke. Rebecca and Abigail sat down on the sand, breathless, and giggled at each other, rather frightened at what they were doing. But the British boats steadily approached nearer and nearer the shore.. The girls jumped to their feet again. After all, the idea was a good one. they started in. Louder and shriller squeaked the fife. deeper and. faster rolled the drum. Back and forth they marched, behind the protecting dune, accompanied by a very torrent of martial music. oO. SUBOCFIBE.
