Tho I national regulations provides that the season for killing wator fowl shall be closed from Decenvber 16 until the first of the following Soptotnber. From tho 16th of December until September 1 It will bo unlawful under tho national regulation), to kill water fowl. As thoro aro no ducks or goeffo In Nebraska during tho winter, oxcopt in tho cxtromo northern part of tho state, tho national regula tion will not deprive Nebraska sports men of any shooting except In tho early spring. Tho state law provided that tho season should begin Septem ber 1 and close April 5. Under tho government regulations It will opon September 1 and close December 16, which moans a period of threo and one-half months of fall shooting. Tho next open season will bo on fish.

EFFECTS OF LIGHT ON EYES No Actual Data to Prove That Artifi cial Light Is More Discomfort ing Than the Daylight. Not all tho radiant energy which en tors tho eye is octivo in the process of producing tho sonratlon of light. No doubt it 1b fair to assume that at least this "Inactive" enerpgy is absorbed by tho oye media and transformed Into hoat, says the Electrical World. This should causo nn increaso in tempera ture in tho eyo, which has led Bmo to hold that this is the causo of irritation and fatigue. Thoro Is a general feeling that artificial light is moro fatiguing than daylight, which contains far less energy per lumen-second than the light from ordinary artificial lllumln- nnts Of cnuran. If It hn rn that. 'f artificial light.undor. thT'amo condi tions of diffusion, intensity, surround ings, retinal adaptation, otc, Is really moro irritating and fatiguing than daylight, It is wiso to look to tho spec tral charactor of tho radiation as a probablo cause. However, thoro aro no actual data which .provo that artifi cial light is moroi discomforting than daylight when all conditions excepting tho spectral charactor of tho radiation are the same.
