@ El vr ER lcd hghomed nk peda Ca he Testing The Night Vision Of Seamen Lookouts With Keenest Sight _Selected hv Secret Instrument The Royal Canadian Navy Is us- fng a secret instrument to (est night vision of seamen--a discov. ery being used to increase the fighting efficiency of its ships, said a naval headquarters press release recently. The announcement meant lookouts with the keenest night. sight now can be selected for the dark watches. "It has also meant radical changes in lighting aboard ships, and a way has been found to permit -a captain or navi- said this gator to consult a chart under bright light without being tem- porarily 'blind' when he returns to the bridge." Before the war, said the release, "few persons knew, beyond re- stricted scientific circles, that hu- man beings are actually equipped with two sels of eye cells--one for day and one for night vision." The daytime set might be perfect and those used at night might be blind. The Navy told guardedly of how those with extraordinary night sight are chosen. Through a fabyrinthine passage which stops all light, men_ come in groups of 30 or 40 into a com- pletely dark room for their tests. Chairs, desks, floors, ceiling--ev- ery inch is painted a dull black. The secret instrument is one by which technjcions can accurately record and compare seamen's ab- lity to see in the dark. The press release - described how one man would stumble into the testing room, bark his shins on a chair, perhaps walk right into a wall. Another would step carefully in, like a cat. Such men as the latter now stand the night watches, It Took 46 Minutes - .Seagoing ships are being equip- ped with a ghostly kind of illu- - mination 'in which men can see to move about but which does not affect the eye cells used for sce- ing in the dark, the story added, explaining it takes 45 minutes for the eyes to grow fully accustom- ed to darkness. The captain secs his charts by a red glow that does not affect his night vision. © "Training also helps men -to rec- ognize objects at night, sald the Navy. To see an_object at night one should look above or just to one side of it, not directly at it. Perspective 1s lost at night, the announcement said.

Memory Verse: Thou art night, O Jehovah, Psalm 119 : 161. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time--The exact time for the writing of this Epistle cannot be determined, but it was probably not far from A.D. 60. Ple:ce.--In the last chapter of this Epistle, the writer refers to "She that is in Babylon," which has led some to believe that First Peter was written from the great city on the Euphrates River bear- ing that name; others have sug- gested that, because the city now known as Cairo, Egypt, was anc- fently called Babylon, the Epistle was wrttien from there. A major- ity of scholars, however, believe that Peter used the word Babylon to designate tho city of Rome.

"But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' rake, blessed are ye: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled."

For N a cither--Ts-- cand fertilizers, Carried By 'Jenny' Air Mall Servi Service Inaugurat- ed Twenty-Five Years Ago Thousands gaped and cheered when a World War training, plane known as a "Jenny" settled down at Potomac Park, Washington, 25 - years ago, and the pilot dumped out a pouch of mail. The plane, traveling 80 miles an hour, brought the mail over the 200-mile route from New York, thus inaugurating the first regular 'air mail service in this country. That was May 15, 1918. * Through the years the planes 'have become faster, loads heavier, _ distances seem shorter, From the brief New York-to- Washnigton hop,' the service has extended octopus-fashion thous- ands of miles to the farthermost posts of the world. Today the shadows of the planes flicker over tree-steepled hills and sleepy hamlets, without much more than an occasional upward -glance from the people speckling the earth below. "Fewer Planes, More Mail Less jittery, less hazardous the flight . . . more swiftly sure than in the old days when pilots lived on borrowed time and passengers huddled in open cockpits on a bag of mail. From that first 200 miles in 1918 'to approximately 105,000,- 000 miles in 1942, from 600 pounds of mail a day to 225,000 pounds, commercial air service has grown lustily, Before the war, according to the Civil Acronautics Association, there were some 356 planes oper- ating over the commercial air- ways, Noi, even with a notable increase in air mail, there are 176. The rest have been taken over by the armed services, chiefly the Army's Air Transport Command which operates them as part of its vast fleet of planes carrying material and personnel. both at homie and abroad.
