I doubt if the women in Shake til speare's comedies are to be taken se riously. They are pretty creatures in tended to be played by boys. They are the vehicle of any more or less fitting e. strain of poetry which happens tc ) please the poet. Alice in Wonderland is a very real little girl. but one would not make a grave, scholarly analysis of the traits of character which she dis te plays in her encountr-r with the mock o turtle. Neither should we press too in heavily upon Shakespeare's poetry to re extract his beliefs about women. The unrivaled sonnets voice the praise and also the petulhit dis'satisfaction of a man In love or preteniing to be in love for the Ipurlwse of ies'try. The wonlan worship in tlhe sonnets and in the glow ing passages of the plays spoken by gallants in pursuit of their ladies is only the conventional romanticism com mon in medieval and renaissance liter ature. Shakespeare's phrasing outfiles that of all other poets. But his Ideas of women are neither original nor en lghtened. In studying the social ideas of a writer and his time we often learn more from his unconscious testimony than from his direct eloquence. Portia I Is wise. witty. learned. disguised as a t man: but she Is disposed of without protest through her father's will and Its I Irrational accidents to a commonplace c bankrupt courtier, and the tacit Impli cation is that she is happily bestowed I Where Shakespeare brings Portia's ca I reer to an end a modern comedy would begin. In the other plays the delight t ful heroine is hurried off at the close t of the fifth act into the possession of a F man whom she would not look at if she I were as wise and strong and witty as I the situations hare represented her.

By the Aid of the Wonderful Sun Valve It Lights the Acetylene Beacons as It Sets at Night and Extinguishes Them as It Rises in the Morning. The sun is the most trustworthy of id- lighthouse keepers. The sun or the heat from it lights many hundreds of , beacons along our coasts and water v ways evening after evening and ex tinguishes them punctually every morn lng. They are guides on land and sea that are never touched by human hand or from one month's end to another. The Ku way in which the United 'tates gov lie ernment, through its liglhtlti se board. ill has utilized the services of the sun and be made that great lamp of heaven a be faithful and unerring servant is most id. interesting. The discovery of acetylene gas was it the first step toward retiring the loneli keepers of the little lights in faroff places. Modern magic was not slow of in recognizing the fact that by the ip of plication of certain well known scien r titlfe principles the lighting of the great ik chains of beacons that girdle the coasts a of the two seas and the gulf and cover ni the great lakes and every navigable stream in our huge country could be n much simplified. The United States did not become in terested in the acetylene light and its automatically generating gas buoy until about the year 1906 and did not adopt a It until 1908. Then the engineers of n the lighthouse board devised some Ln wonderful improvements, among themr lit the utilization of the sun. The self lighting and self extinguish ing acetylene beacon is a very simple thing, but it depends almost entirely on the "sun valve." which is one of the most wonderful but least complex of the achievements of modern science. In the first place, the source of light for these lone beacons is dissolved acetylene, which is stored under pres sure in steel cylinders. One of these cylinders can be charged with enough gas to last a small beacon three years Usually, however, in the case of float Ing buoys, a six months' supply is all that is necessary, as such buoys are overhauled and painted twice a year Knowing the size of the flame and its hourly consumption of gas, it is very easy to compute how long a cylinderful will last and how often it will need to 4 be visited. That Is all the care the light will need. The sun valve does the rest The scientific principle upon which the sun valve depends is that light waves become transformed in different degrees, according to the nature of the it intercepting body. Sunlight upon dark surfaces is converted Into heat, and heat produces expansion. This expan slon is especially perceptible In certain metals. I In a carefully sealed and substantial I ly mounted glass Jar nearly a foot high and about one-fourth that in di ameter a thick black rod is placed per pendlcularly through the center. It is it supported by three slenderer rods of C highly polished copper. The big black rod Is of copper also and is coated with lampblack to make It absorb light to the greatest possible degree. The sup d porting rods reflect light without ab sorbing It and do not expand or con tract to the same extent as the largest rod. The thick black piece of copper In the center of the jar Is extremely sen sitive to light and heat As the sun Sappears and the atmosphere grows warmer In the morning this rod length ens. It pushes down into the metal Schamber In which the glass Jar rests and touches the end of a lever. It Spresses down on this lever, which Is r controlled by a spring and cuts offt the S ow of the gas to the lamp. When the sun disappears from view In the evening and the temperature of the air talls the process is reversed. The rod contracts and releases its pres. Ssure on the lever, allowing the gas to flow upward tothelamp. The gas ls Signited by a little pilot flame that Is - never extinguished. Thus the beacon Is lighted at the proper time and is put out when it is no longer needed, al though along desolate coasts it may never gladden the human eye for I months at a time The engaineers of the lighthouse board say that the precision of this device Is almost incredible. It can be used with equal certainty In equatorial heat and In polar cold, for it responds with the utmost accuracy to small variations in temperature. It Is used on lonely is- Ir lands In the Paelfec. Themre amre nearly T a hundred of these sun valve beacons vi In Alaska. In summer they are aids ol to navigation, and in winter they guide the travelers on dog sledges over the trosen waste-Harper's Weekly. ut Deadly.
