This is often Jne to the fact that our eyes do not see things exactly the way they are, nut are all the time fooling us. For example It Is an optical principle that the eye exaggerates the upper part of an object and underestimates the lower part. If you make letter B for Instance and make the upper bow the same size as the lower, the letter will never look right, for the upper part will look too big and the letter will be topheavy. For this reason it Is necessary in designating letters to allow for the error the eye S8 1; S8 f Optical Illusion. makes and make the upper parts manlier than we want them to look when finished. That this is the chse you can easily 'prove by looking at the letter 3 and figure S here given. The ones on the left, being right side up, look while those on the right, beup, look topheavy. And ing wrorg-sldyet the funny part about it is that K you w ill turn the paper ypalde down you will find thatit Is the first pair that look wrong and the second one that looks right.

I heard of an English woman the other day who said that she bad never eaten the wing of a chicken, because when she was young it was always given to the older people, and now that she was old it was saved for the children. If she lived In Germany she would still have a chance, provided she kept away from a small loud set, who In all matters of education and morality would like to turn the world upside down. In most German homes the noisy, spoiled American child would not be endured for a moment, and the little tyrant of a French family would be taught its place to the comfort and advantage of all concerned. I have dined with a large family where eight young ones of various ages sat at an overflow table and did not disturb their elders by a sound. It was not because the elders were harsh or the young folks repressed, but because Germany teaches Its youth to behave. The little girls still drop you a pretcourtesy when they ty greet you. The little boys. If you are staying in the house with them, corns and shake hands at unexpected times when they arrive from school, for Instance, and before they go out for a walk.

It has often been called the Pompeii of Latium, and certainly It is the only other place In Italy where one can ramble about the streets of a town of the empire with no modern architecture to Intrude on ones dream. The ruins .however, differ greatly from those of Pompeii, because the ancient character and purpose of Ostia were different. The latter town was a bustling seaport with a cosmopolitan industrial population neither leisured enough to indulge private artistic tastes nor much disposed to them. The world's capital, only a few miles distant, was the natural home of Ostlans of wealth or culture. But if we cannot see at Ostia the painted rooms and the courtyards set with statuary, which f make 'Pompeii so attractive, we can see the framework of a more vigorous and momentous life, which makes a strong appeal to the imagination of anyone who has ever considered, however vaguely, what the Roman empire meant Streets Filled Pp. The extraordinarily untouched state In which the Ostia of the late imperial age has been preserved to our time is due to two agents, sand-drif- t and malaria. Silt brought down to the Tiber mouth, dried, pulverized, and wind-bornhas gradually filled up streets and ruined buildings deserted by men because of the fevers which were bred from choked-uharbors and channels of the river. Partly for fear of these fevers, partly because Civita Vecchia was found, ultimately, to be the better port tor Rome, no considerable population has ever returned to Ostia, not even during a temporary revival in the fifteenth century, when the existing papal castle was built The town had from the first a precarious existence. Its life was given to it by the Tiber, but the Tiber could not be trusted. The river silted up Its harbors one after the othThe port er, and silted up itself. from which navies sailed to the Punic wars had become uselaie by the time of Augustus, and Claudius first and Trajan after him, had to dig out new basins at enormous expense some distance away to the north, and cut. connecting channels, which the river proceeded to slit up as of old. In the end it proved Impossible (or not worth while) to keep any port open Into which the main current of the Tiber flowed; and if Trajans fossa, or canal, dredged out anew by Pope Paul V, In the early seventeenth century, Is still navigable for small craft working up to Rome, It Is a channel only, and the huge spreading basins, that of Trajan as well as that of Claudius, are dry. Just because the river treated - these new harbors as badly as the old. Ostia managed to maintain its life, and even to develop it, for some centuries longer, and only succumbed In the competition with Civita Vecchia (a new creation of Trajan's) after the empire has become Christian. If It had no proper basin for ships, it had always the main channel of the Tiber flowing past Its walls, and bad passage as this offered to ships, it was probably more to be depended on than the Claudlan or Trajanlc canals.
