Wonderful Eyes.

John Thomas Heslop, of Birming>
ham, England, is a lad whose powers
of vision are to be accounted for
among the marvellous. HI is known
as''the living microscope" ION account
of being able to see the most minute
objects clearly defined. In 1873 or
1879 he was attacked with some baf-
fling eye trouble and came very near
losing his sight forever. After the dis
ease had reached it's worst, there.
was an instant and startling change
for the better. When his s%ightreturn-
ed it was with extraordinary increas-
ed powers of vision. To John
Thomas the most minute plant louise
was as large as a rabbit, and the
mosquitoes bill as large as al axe-han-
die. He could see and describe dis
tant minute objects with startling
clearness and precision. He was
amazinglyshocked upon repairing to
the we'll to get cooling draughtt to see
the immense number of hideous crea-
lures that were floating, fighting, and
wriggling about in the water. From
thatday to this water has never pass
ed the lips of John Thomas Heslop;
his drinks consist wholly ofcoffee, tea,
and milk thoroughly boiled. The
doctors say thatthe entire organiza-
tion ofthee eye has undergone a struct-
ural change; that the cornea has
become abnormally enlarged, and
that the crystalline lenses have di-
vided into three different disks orcir-
cles, each circle surrounded by anoth-
er Of light blue.

man in New York.
New YORK, Special-Peter Clausen, q
young Dane, employed as a lineman by the
Northern New York Electric Lighting COM
pany, met a horrible death to-day.
It was in every way similar
to that of Feeks, who was killed
by an electric wire a few weeks ago. Clau-
sen met his death on the pole at the corner
of Third avenue and 156th street. This
pole was close to the station of the SUBJ
urban elevated railroad and in front of a
four-story fiat house. 1t Is about thirty
feet high, and has two cross-beams, the
upper one supporting telegraph wires,
and the lower beam carrying two
electric light wires. Shortly after
Clausen assembled the pole some children
playing about its base hearda kissing noise.
Looking up they saw the lineman lying
across the two electric light wires, while a
blush light shot from his right hand and
head. The children's cries of terror at
tracted the attention of their parents in the
fiat. Two women at a front window here

Another Disaster at Johnstown.

Another Disaster at Johnstown.
As the performance of the Uncle Toms
Cabin troupe was drawing to an end in
Parke's opera house at Johnstown, Pa., the
fire bell was rung, causing a frantic scramble
for the exit. There were five or six hundred
men, women and children in the hall,
and to gain the street it was
necessary to pass down a narrow,
walIed-up stairs and through a
very narrow door. The people from the
streets rushed into the door fro mthe outside,
and many were crushed before they could be
forced out. 1t was necessary to turn the hose
on tho crowd at the door before the rescuers
could get at the dead and wounded.
The screams were terrible. and it was

No EscapeAfrom an Inqulsitive
Yankee.

Many years ago Mr.. Brown, ofLon-
don, Conn.,, was about to erect q
fence around one Of his lots in that
city, and in order to save himself
from the daily interrogatories which
he knew would be made By his neigh
bors and ~passers-by he had 9 sign
painted on which he displayed oil the
information in regard to the fence
which he fancied could possibly be
desired or, demanded. He narrated
concisely who was the owner of the
land; why he fenced it in; how much
lumber the fence was to contain;
where he bought and how much q
foot he paid for it; the quantity of
nails to be used; the name of the
builder and the exact amount ofland
to be inclosed.
Self-satisfed that he had answered
all the questions that could be asked
in regard to the fence, Mr.. Brown was
quite happy at the idea that he had
freed himself entirely from impertin-
ent inquiries.
But one night, orrather very early
on a very disagreeable morning, Mr..
Brown was awakened from q deep
sleep by a loud knocking at his front
door. The call appeared to be so
urgent that Mr.. Brown thrust his
head out of the window and demand
ed in no very gentle tone. what

shivering in his only garment Mr..
Brown held the following colloquy
with the intruder:

"Well, Mr.. Josiah F. Brown, I have
called to inquire ifyou intend to
paint that fence or will you WHITE
wash it?"
The answer and the window went
down together and Mr. Brown retired
to bed fully satisfied there could be
no escape from Yankee inquisitive-
ness.

Noble is only partial, but in the reply the
secretary agrees with him that the reserva-

but that congress will have to ratity such
portions of the treaty as the commissioner
found it necessary to alter in order to secure
the signatures of the Indians.
