A Sad Story.

AT an early hour last night a young

the southern part Of the city, with his
clasped around q lamp,post. His
face was pale, his hair d~isheveled, and
whole appearance indicated a general
cussedness of feeling. People passed
him by, deigning emily to look at him,
never a word of sympathy or kindly
But still the young man
claspsd the lamp-post, and occasionally
cried out New York; and every time
he shouted he ducked his head as if pay
ing homeage to something or somebody
a kind hearted peeler passed that way,
and hearing his supplioating cry in

secret in tho poorly paid policeman's
ear, who at once conducted him-not to
the statiou-house, but to No. 326 Main

ARTIFICIAL EYES SENSITIVE TO L1eHr
Among the curious developments Of
science is the recent production, by
DR.. c. ". Siemens, of an artificial eve
that is sensitive to light. We wish
we could add that it gives vision to
the blind; but we cannot, though, per-
haps, it contains germ of promise in
that direction. The new eye is COM
posed Of an ordinary glass lens.
backed by an artificial retina of seleni-
um. This mineral resembles and is
allied to sulphur, it is distilled from
bodies that contain sulphur, in con-
junction with metals, such as iron py-
rites, compound of sulphur and iron.
Mr.. May, a telegraph clerk en-
ployed at the Valentia cable line, first
observed, in 1873, that the electrical
resistance of selenium was instantly
altered by light, the resistance being
diminished by increase of light.
DIR. Siemens makes use of this pe-
culiarity of silenium in the construc.
ton OF his novel eye. An electrical
circuit is arranged, of which a bit of
selenium forms a part, and constitutes
the retina- When a strong light is
admitted into the lens and falls upon
the selenium retina, the current of
electricity flows, by acting upon small
magnets, may be made to'work the
artificial lids of the eye, opening or
closing them, according to the inten-
sit of the light.
1t is well known that vibrations of
musical sounds may by an ordinary
conducting wire be electrically trans
mltted and successfully delivered to
the ear. 1t remains to be determined
whether light vibrations can, by
means of selenium and elasticity, be
transmitted to the brain in the alb.
sence of the natural eye.-Scientitfc

ORIGIN OF THE TURKISH WAR.-The
origin of the Turkish insurrection and
the present war in the Turkish prov
inces has been represented by Turk
ish sympathizers to have been in Rus
sian intrigue. The special correspon-
dent of the London Times, who has
been on the ground ever since the
Montenegrins participated in it, "ven-
lures to turn back leaves of his cor
respondence and to recall facts which
he defes any man to contradict y

burst out in several places, almost
simultaneously, SO that various Incl
dents are claimed to have been the ex-
citing incident according to the locali-
ty assigned-in fact, many incidents
conspired to excite an eruptivc fever,
which appeared over the whole of
southern and western Herzegovina.
The first sympathizers and supporters
of the movement from abroad came
from Dalmatia, and the~Catholic popu-
lation along the Dalmatian frontier
was the first to give it any impor-
tance The first blood drawn was. so
far as | can speak with confidence, III
Nevesinge, which district was paci-
fed Ia Bulgaria, by Shefket and
Selim Pashas. Dervish Pasha, then
Governor, is generally accused of hav-
ing fostered the causes of the insur-
rection at the critical moment, because
it is believed to be step to promo
ton and profit to suppress an insur-
rection. At this time the Prince of
Montenegro did his best to repress
the movement, doubtless not from af-
fection for the Turkish Government,
but because the movement was inop-
perfume, and any insurrection in
Herzegovina must inevitably, if not
continued, involve, openly or secretly,
the Montenegrin population. His eff
forts were vain, because, while he was
discouraging, Dalmatian and Servian
patriots were encouraging it, and his
persistence would have ended only in
his losing all the influence he had on
the Herzegovinians. Thus, shortly af-
ter | arrived in Ragusa, Peko and his
band of Montenegrins and Herzego-
vinians appeared in the vicinity of
Trebihje. | am not prepared to say
that the Austrian Government favored
the insurrection at this time, but Aus
trian officials did, Money and arms
came from Austria as we'll as volun-
teers, and while these far exceeded
the number of the Montenegrins pres
ent, the tone of all the officials Oh the
border was more encouraging than
anything ] have seen at any time
from Russia, and, SO far as my opin-
ion is worth anything, | think that
Austria did much more to favor the
insurrection than Russia, who, not
being ready for the event, regarded it
as hopeless, because premature, and
so, while not choosing to risk her in
fuence by decidedly opposing any in
surrection in the Slavonic Provinces,
would have been relieved by pacifi-
cation"
