THOMAS B, GREGORY The trial of John Hampden before tho Court of Exchequer 278 years ago, June 12, 16S7, will always remain a red letter date in the history of human liberty King Charles I, In his attempt to strangle the free dom of the people, was' moving heaven and earth in the ef fort to raise money. He resorted to every possible shift to put money in his purse, and among 'other things he thought of the "ship money" dodge. Away back yonder In the an cient time taxes had been exacted of the people for the support of the fleet In time of great national peril; and although there was now no national peril, and no custom of paying "ship money," Charles revived the old demand and proceeded to collect his "ship money." But everywhere he met with the) most determined opposition, the moat stal wart of ;the kickers being John Hampden, the rock-ribbed patriot and bosom friend of Sir John Eliot, the Washington of the great English struggle' for freedom. Of course it was a great crime to re sist the will of the king, and Hampden, being the leader, as it were, In the re sistance, was brought to trial. It was really the trial of the people of England, or, rather, of the question. "Have the people of England any rights as against the king and his henchmen in church and stateT" and the excitement all over the country was Intense, As might have been expected the hire ling court decided that the king' could do no wrong, that his "divinely guided" will was supreme, and that Hampden, in refusing to obey his majesty, was guilty of high treason. Let it be remem bered, however, that even in the Court of .Exchequer there were men brave enough and true enough to prefer right to the king's favor, and that white seven of the Judges voted against Hampden, five of them cast their ballots ,tn his favor. The trial made Hampden the most pop ular man In England and stiffened' the cackbohe ' of the nation in its struggle against the would-be destroyer of the pop ular liberties, with the final result that 'the klnff tost and Hampden won. In the battle-clash' between the- plain human rights of the people and the "divine rights" of the king, Hampden died glori ously upon the battlefield fighting for humanity against kingcraft, and while men love liberty and justice his name will never perish from the earth. Beauty Secrets of Beautiful "Women Deep Breathing Lessons from1 Miss Zoo Barnett. Ity LILLIAN liAUPEIlTY. Most' of us realize what a wonderful it iumlhatlon for the face la afforded by a beautiful pair of eyes. And yot, cither because we are lazy or have a touching faith In Providence, wo do absolutely nothing to conserve and preservo tho health of those hard-working members of our bodily organization. 1 But 2 have found a llttlo girl who seems to feel that she owes something to theso good friends who do so much for her. "There Is nothing more beautiful than beautiful eyes and tho prettier they are the harder they havo to work," said little Molllo King, of tho Winter Qarden "Pass, lng 8hov of 1913." One naturally says "Little Motile," be cnuso the simple little whlto shirtwaist and white felt hat so earnestly bespeak youth in tho flush of her beginning career, and Mollle King's whole eager manner and girlish desire to please make "tittle and young" come trooping to your mtnd when describing this clever girl. "Now, all the while I am doing my Anna Held Imitation my eyes aro under a strain. Thoso muscles get Just as tired as any hard-working muscles In the body would, and so I keep them In training. But even If you aro not 'using your eyes In tho way I have to, they arc working all tho time. So 'I feel suro It would be wise for other girls to follow my treat ment. "Every morning I give my eycA, a cold water .massage, and this Is the recipe for the new kind of massage: Cup your palm and fill It with cold water again and again, and dash the water briskly at your eyes. About thirty times for each eye Is my treatment, and they do feel so fine and active with tho blood coursing through them. "When my eyes are very tired I batho them first with hot and then with cold water. This treatment I go about gently and It rests eyes and nerves too and brings color to the chunks at the same time. Every night and whenever I come In from any outdoor excursion that has been very dusty I batho my eyes with a weak solution of boraclo acid. Sometimes I wipe' them out with a bit of soft cloth and sometimes I apply tho boracld acid solution In an eye cup and, hold It against tho eye ball for a nice, long, restful time. "Then I have Just one beauty secret for my eyebrows," went on Miss Mollle with aregular llttlo-glrl-dressed-up-llke-a-ladj alr of secrecy. 'I have the cutest little brush for my eyebrows, it is wee like a baby's tooth bniBh, If there are such things. And with that I patiently brush my eyebrows In Just the shapu .1 want them to go. I like tho little half .circles, but you could train your eyebrows into crescents or any set of curyo you fett was most becoming." "And how about your mind and body and disposition? I feel sure you must have more 'beauty secrets to help you attain success so early In life," said I. "Let's nee," meditated Miss Mollle. "I think to be simple, and have a sweet manner and not to get a 'swelled head' are tho best things for a girl to remem ber. You know any young girl who wants to get ahead in tho world has to know she can't mix work and play but has to keep up with tho procession. You mustn't begrudgb others their success but must really wln your own for yourself and not make any enemies on your way to glory. Everyone has h chance, you know and other people getting ahead does not keep you from getting thero to. "And then If girls would get the ath letlo habit, I am sure they would not havo to worry about getting thin. Ten nis and' swimming and dancing for tho summer and plenty of ice skating In the winter will keep your flesh down and your cheeks aglow and athletics help the other eye treatment too. You know beau tiful eyes aro my dream of loveliness, and outdoor exercise to keep the sysfem li trim and the blood racing along In a healthy stream will brighten those healthy eyes I have told you how to ac quire." And Molllo King's advice certainly sounds as if it were worth following dossn't UT Mysteies of Science and Nature With the Aid of Photography and the Ultra-Violet, ttfe Man's Power of Vision is Beginning to m Rival That of the Insects. By GARRETT P. SKRVISS. Man is beginning to add to his senses. If he has not discovered new ones, he has extended the range of some of those which he already possesses. When this process has been continued for a few hundred, or a few thousand, years, the human race may find that it has got upon a new level, from Which It can pene trate much farther and much deeper in the wonders of the universe. Among other things, man Is be ginning, under the guldanoe of science. to see in a roundabout way, with the eyes of Insects. To understand this, let us first consider how we see with our natural power of vision. Our range of eight is strictly confined within the limits of waves of light, vary lng In length from about one is.OOOtH to about ope PT.OOOth of an. Inch- The longest of these 'waves- produces In our brains the Impression of red, arid the shortust the Impression of violet. The other principal colors (orange, yellow, green, blue and indlgO) are produced by inter mediate Wavo-Iengths, each color having Its own characteristic waves. If an object reflects light of only one of these colors it assumes the bus of that color; If It reflect them all equally, it I -(IBMS' sw in9f jEHHtHW W V u. MZWtTXTSiriHrsilVlltWSU BrXkf:WrsK!-a, ..I 1 'or Miss Zoo appears white, because a combination of the primary colors produces the Im pression of white. But there are. In reality, enormous numbers of light waves which are longer than the longest that affect our sense of vision, and also enormous numbers that are shorter than the shortest that we can see. In either case theso waves, which lie beyond one end or the other of what is called the "visible spectrum" of tight, are, except for scientific de vices, totally Insensible to us. Now, it has been found that certain In socts, particularly ants, can perceive light waves that are shorter than one C7,Wth of an Inch, which is the lower limit for human eyes. In other words, tho ant can "see" a color that lies outside tho violet. If the ant has. a name for this "ultra-violet" color we are not likely to find It out. More that that, the ant (if It possesses microscopic powers) may be able to see obJecU that are so minute that a "40,000,-OOO.poo-power" microscope would be un able' to reveal them to us, because they are smaller than the smallest light wave that lies within our range. An object small as that would be unable to roflost perfectly a wave of violet ljght. and con sequently np amount of direct magnifica tion would' be able -tp bring it clearly within the limits of sight for us. ' Bur right here the maglo power of photography comts to our aid and en ables us to penetrate Into this world of the infinitely minute, which the insects may be supposed to have regarded as their exclusive and Inviolable domain. Photography U able to dq this because the sensitive plate or film la affected by Harnett. 6 those same ultra-violet waves that the ant perceives. Suppose, 'then, that an object Is so small that It cannot reflect the vlolt waves, but can reflect the smaller ultra violet ones. It is only necessary to make a photograph of it, whereupon the ultra violet waves that it reflect will produce a chemical, change In the sensitive sur face of the photographlo plats or film and Impress on image there, which Image may be magnified at will. This is tho principle of the "ultra-violet micro scope," There is another way In which man hat recently extended his range of vision Indirectly, deep Into tho secrets of the Infinitely minute. It has been dope by the aid of what is called the "ultra microscope." This depends for Its action upon tho fact that a minute object pro duces a scattering of the rays of light that fall upon it. It surrounds ltselt with a kind of aureole, as may be natlced when a beam of sunlight enters a dusty room, causing millions of previously In visible floating particles to glow Ilka In finitesimal stars. Suppose that an object of this kind, too smalt to be seen by direct microscope examination, yet large enough to reflect the lights waves that lie within our range, is placed under powerful lenses, In a beam of light so' arranged that It does not pour directly Into the eye of the, observer. It will scatter about 'Itself enough light not only to betray Its pres ence but even in some cases to reveal its doubtless we have only Just begun to find out the power of the mind by Us inventions to extend the range of our senses.

International News Service, i II. Soon after the British Parliament passed a law forbidding the cutting down of trees for fuel, Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition In 1586 discovered iron in this country, and In 1608 a cargo of ore was shipped from Virginia to Eng land and success fully smelted. In 1664, tho first iron works was erocted near Lynn, Mass, In 1740, Huntsman Introduced the cru cible process, and various mechanical devices were pat ented about that time, which ma terially stimulated the steel Industry. In 1838, the Inven tion of J. B, Nlel son the Introduc tion of a heated blast caused a tremendous Increase In output. This Improvement was accom panied by Nasmyth's steam hammer, and In 1856 Bessenier gave to the world a process (hat was astonishing and remark able. The discovery of the Bessemer process made It possible to produce steel at such low cost as to extend Its use widely, and did much to supersede wrought Iron In structural work. Bessemer steel la now almost univers ally used for steel rails. The open-herth system of Martin and Thomas, with the regenerative gas furnace of Siemens, sup plies steel that Is used in enormous quan tities for all purposes. Lately science feas again prevailed, and in the products of White and Taylor and Robert Iladflold we have steel that com bines great malleabltness with great hard nessa hardness that retains Its cutting powor even when at red heat.

Steel is made by combining a certain proportion of carbon with iron. The process determines Its value and Variety. , The most Important of. these processei arc cementation, Bessemer and open hearth. The first system consists in placing bars of wrought Jron between layers' of char coal In firebrick-lined retors. Yellow heat is appllod tor a certain period until tha required gradn of steel is obtained by the additions of the necessary carbon. This Is tho steel from whim edged' tools ara made. The Bessemer process is directly oppo site In principle to the cementation pro cess. The Bessemer burn tha carbon out of the cast Iron. This Is done in an egg shaped furnace known aa a converter, lined with fire brick, and capable of being tilted. At the bottom, a number of tuyeres or nozzles conduct the air from a powerful blowing machine through the molten metal. This burns out the silicon and carbon, and after the alloy has been added and thor oughly mixed the metal la poured Into ladles, and thence to casting molds. The ingots are reheated and rolled into the forms desired for use. In the openhearth system, steel Is made from a mixture of pig iron and scrap Iron or steel, which Is melted by direct con tact with tho flame' In a regenerative gas furnace To follow these different processes to seo the ore cold, dead stones trans formed into things of utility and beauty is a revelation and an education.
