By a simple rule the length of the day and night at any time of the year may be ascertained. By doubling the time of the sun’s rising the length of the night is obtained, and by doubling the time of the setting the length of the day is given. Bridge Designer’s Curious Wish. Henley bridge, in England, was de- signed about 1786 by Thomas Hay- ward, who expressed the wish that he might die ere the work was commenced and that his body might be interred under the center pier. He died before the bridge was completed, but was buried in the churchyard close by. Baldness. When baldness first makes its ap- pearance the scalp is usually tight. The application of goose oil will loosen it and furnish food for the tissues of the skin. Unique Sundial. In the grounds adjacent to Went- Worth castle, in England, is to be seen a unique sundial which is composed of a fine yew tree for the pin and closely cropped box bushes for the Roman fig- ures and borderings. It was planted over 200 years ago and is still in a good state of preservation. Its time- keeping compares favorably Wlth sun- dials of more modern construction. Eye Color. The gray eye is an almost universal characteristic of people of great intel- lect.

The eflect of artificial light on the pigment of the iris is to make it paler; also prolonged eye work will do this. Eyes never become quite blanched, like The Dandelion.

The best way is to pour gasoline all around and into the cen- ter of the plant, and in a few days it will shrivel up and die.
