cement masonry, some brick masonry and some cobblestone masonry. All have low roofs, with broadly projecting eaves, and a front and a rear porch. The three-room bungalows possess a kitchen, a bed room and a living room, which is also used as a dining room, while in the four-room bungalows the living-room and dining room are separate. The living room always has a fireplace of artistic design and a disappearing bed. The disappearing bed is so designed that it can be used either in the living room or on the porch, and when not in use it occupies a sort of cabinet that creates a cozy-corner seat in both the living room and on the porch. The rooms are tastily finished, and the furniture and draperies are carefully selected to create a harmonious effect. They are liberally provided with built-in features, and the kitchen, which is of the cabinet kind, is to the housewife a veritable gem. The summer house of this "court" is two stories in height, and on both floors are tables and comfortable chairs. It is of extremely rustic design, and is entirely open on all sides, except for a low wall of cobblestones which partly encloses the lower floor. The timbers are of eucalyptus and the roof covering is of palm branches. It is the outdoor lounging place for the entire "court." The entrance to the "court" has received considerable attention and is of artistic design. The plot contains a number of grand old trees of various kinds, and a great deal of well-kept lawn area, and flowers of all kinds are to be found in profusion. The majority of the bungalows are for rent already furnished, although there are a few obtainable unfurnished. The furnished ones rent for from thirtyfive to forty-five dollars per month and the unfurnished ones for twenty and twenty-five dollars per month. The grounds are kept in order by a gardener furnished by the owner of the "court," and the rental price includes free water and electric lights. Gas for cooking is charged for extra, each bungalow possessing an individual meter. Dinner Pail Philosophy ¶ Put sincerity and excellence into your art.

When a wave of white light is captured and dissected in a spectroscope it is found to consist of a compound of colors ranging from red through orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo violet. Each color travels in waves of a different length, red being the longest and violet the shortest. PHOTOGRAPHING WITH INVISIBLE LIGHT By C. F. CRAIG ECENT research by a small army of physicists has resulted in the presentation of this old world in a new light. As might be expected in so commercial an age, the new light has already been put to work, while America and France, or to put it more literally, private individuals in both countries, are co-operating in an endeavor to extend its industrial uses. Oddly enough, the new light is not used for illuminating purposes, except in a figurative sense, for it is invisible. To avoid becoming befuddled over the paradox of invisible light it may be advisable to turn to the more familiar form of light for a starting point. Everybody knows what light is; that is, everybody except those who have spent a large part of their lives trying to find out something about it. Ever since THE ULTRA-VIOLET RAY TURNS THE WHITE GARDEN PHLOX DARK. ghens, the Dutch philosopher who lived more than two hundred years ago, maintained that light was propagated in waves in an all-pervading substance which he called the "luminiferous ether." Long afterwards George Green, trying to convey an idea of the ether, called it an elastic solid. Lord Kelvin, endeavoring to elucidate Green's idea, referred to the ether as a "jelly." More than a century after Huyghens formulated his theory Augustin Fresnel, a French government engineer, took it up, proved it correct and carried it farther along. Still later James Clerk Maxwell, the Scottish philosopher, demonstrated conclusively that light consists of electrical vibrations. Hertz confirmed Maxwell's theory and embroidered it with interesting details. Now a band of irreverent iconoclasts, headed by Henri Poincare and Max Planck are doing their honest best to prove that there isn't any such thing as the luminiferous ether. If they succeed in robbing us of our jelly, goodness only knows how we are going to circulate our light waves or our electrical vibrations. PHOTOGRAPHED WITH ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT. Meanwhile it is still safe to assert that light, whatever it is, travels in waves at a speed of about one hundred and eighty-eight thousand miles per second. These waves can be measured so accurately that they have been proposed as the absolute standard of length instead of the metre. When a wave of white light is captured and dissected in a spectroscope it is found to consist of a compound of colors ranging from red through orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo to violet. Each color travels in waves of a different length, red being the longest and violet the shortest. This rainbow-hued band, called the spectrum, embraces all of light that is visible, but includes only a small part of the total. Webster would restrict the definition of the word "light" to "that agent or force in Nature by which we But C. P. Steinmetz, the distinguished electrical engineer, who undoubtedly knows a great deal more about it than Webster, would have it that "Radiation is a form of energy, the most conspicuous form of which is light." This seems to establish a basis upon which invisible radiation can claim relationship with light. In fact the only difference between visible and invisible rays is in the length of the waves; so that if our eyes were only adapted to it we could see by the one as well as by the other. As it is, radiation is visible as light in a very narrow range of wave lengths; but this does not prevent the invisible radiations from being accurately studied by other means. The octave, the measure by which sound waves are gauged, has also been adopted for measuring light waves. An octave represents a doubling of frequencies. Now the eye is undoubtedly the best organ of vision yet devised; but when compared with the ear, if such a comparison can establish anything, it seems conspicuously inefficient; for while we can hear sounds ranging through nearly nine octaves, we can see in a range of less than one octave of light. And there must be so much to be seen, for radiation embraces a scope of sixty octaves as compared with a beggarly eight and a fraction of sound waves. Expressed in fractions of an inch, a light wave of one twenty-seven thousandth part of an inch is about the THE GRASS AND TREES IN FULL SUNLIGHT. PHOTOGRAPHED BY INFRARED RAYS, APPEAR AS IF SNOW WHITE, WHILE THE SKY IS AS BLACK AS MIDNIGHT. A grove of umbrella pine trees in Rome, Italy, too long to make an impression on the retina, though they also affect special photographic plates are the infra-red rays. These extend for about eight octaves beyond the red, until they come to the electric waves used in wireless telegraphy, while beyond these are the waves the invisible rays at the other end of the spectrum. Ultra-violet rays are the friend of man in many ways, but they will tolerate no familiarity. To allow them to enter the eye is to invite trouble.
