passed through beautiful succession
of groves and parterres and miniature
grassplots and pleasant terraces. His
menagerie fell away of late, but some
years back it almost rivaled the famous
collection in the London Zoo. In one
| large space there were buffaloes, goats
and deer and ostriches and other great
birds. A tank something like one hum
dred and fifty yards square was COW
cred with storks and pelicans and
swans, and had ample welI-wooded
rambling grounds around it. The
smaller birds were sheltered in lofty
aviaries. The lions and tigers and
wolves and other ferocious animals
were, of course, Gagged, but Gagged very
comfortably.
In another garden building that
looked like a magnificent ant hill was
fixed in the center of large square
well, and was carefully surrounded
with water. Here the snakes were

ARTIFICIAL EYES.
An Optfcian Tells where They are Made
and What Hher Ara Enrth

An OUtfcf2n Tells where They are Made
and What They Are Worth.
One-eyed people who can afford it
have two glass eyes. one for day, the
other for evening use The reason for
this is that the pupil of the eye is
smaller in the day time than at night.
and hence the two glass eyes are of
different sizes, so as to correspond with
the natural eve. The price of glass
eyes is, becoming cheaper on account
of competition, and at the same time
the quality is better. A common glass
eye may be had for ten dollars. but
they are not good receptions and do
not last long. A first-class eye costs
fifty dollars, or even more. The best
will not last over two years. because
the secretions in the hollow of the eye
roughen the glass by chemical action,
and this roughness irritates the flesh.
A glass eye, like false teeth, is taken
out at night. for it would not be safe
to gotto sleep with it in the cavity. 1t
might drop out. and the slightest fall
would break it. If person could buy
glass eyes at wholesale. by the gross,
he could get them for about two 6oi-
over great many before finding one to
fit and to match his other eye in
size. color and expression. Glass
eyes are all made abroad, principally
in Germany and France, no factory
having been started here. although
there is great demand for them in
this country. A glass eye is not made
after the shape of natural eye. be-
cause when the latter is taken from the
cavity the tissues just back of it pushes
forward and leaves but little space.
The false eye is therefore elliptical in
shape. The. outer side preserves the
natural form, but the inner side is near
flat, with rounded edges. 1t is slightly
larger that the natural eye, so that
when inserted in the cavity it may not
slip out. At first it irritates the eye
lids and the tissues back of the cavity,
but the wearer grows accustomed to it,
and finds it q rest and a protection.
A skillful oculist can put glass into
the cavity so that very close observa-
ton is necessary to detect it. Not only
are the size and color of the natural
eye cOunterfeited, but even the general
expression. The oculist has yet to dis
cover means of giving that sympathetic
movement which distinguishes a pair
of eyes. There is quite Il large number
of people with glass eyes. say one in
four hundred. You would not know it
by casual observation. for the wearer
of glass eye is so sensitive on the su b.
ject that he is careful of IFS actions in
public, and he becomes SO accustomed
to the glass orb that he can prevent all
but intimate friends from discovering
his defect. Science has done better by
him than by the man with the wooden
limb. ST, Louis Globe-Democrok.
