TACOMA. July 2l-Hon. Henry Drum,
Worlds fair commissioner, arrived home
from Chicago tonight. He is enthusiastic
over the prospects for the Worlds fair
which are that the state of Washington
will have an unexcelied exhibit. The legis-
lature will meet in special session next
September. Washington's tive Worlds
fair commissioners. joined by petitions
from all the Chambers of Commerce of the
state, will recommend an appropriation by
the legislature of $100, 200 for the Worlds
fair exhibit and the appointments of two
special state officers to get it up. In ad-
dition to them he thinks that many
wealthy citizens of the state will see that .
thoroughly representative and creditable
display will be made, regardless of expense.
1t is thought probable that Washington
will have an exhibit representing an outlay
of at least $500 900.

Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1890-10-24

Every one knows that cats can see in
the dark, aud the reason they can do 80
Is because Of the peculiar construction
OF their eyes. You may have noticed
that in a moderate light the pupil or
black part Of pussy's eye is small and OF
an oval shape, while in a full glare of
light ii becomes narrow Now, in the
dark il expands to circle and nearly
fills the surface of the eyeball. This
popularity Of the cats eyes is turned to
account in a curious manner by the
Chinese The Able Hue relates that
when he was travelling in China he asked
his attendant what time it was. The
man went over to cat that was quietly
baslring in the sun, and, examining its
eyes, told the able that it was about two
hours after noon, and, on being ques-
toned how he knew that, he explained
that the pupils of cats eyes were largest
in the morning, aud that they gradually
grew smaller as the light increased, till
they reached their minimum at noon;
that then they began TO widen again, till
at night they once more became large.
The good able was filled with admira-
ton for the ingenuity of a people who
could use cats as clocks. But it must be
admitted that this way of telling the
time of day is rather a loose one and
could only be trusted in very clear and
serene weather, for temporary gloom or
the darkness of storm would sadly de-
range your four footed clock and put it
all wrong.

According to the British Medical
Journal, DR. Gautrelet, of Vichy, claims
TO have discovered a method of render
ing tobacco harmless to mouth, heart,
and nerves without detriment to its
aroma According TO him, piece Of
cotton well stepped in a to 10 per cent
solution Of pyrogallic acid inserted in
the pipe or cigar holder will neutralize
any possible i'll effects of the nicotine.
In this way not only may the generally
admitted evils of smoking be prevented,
but cirrhosis of the liver, which is DIR.
Gautrelet's experience, is sometimes
caused by tobacco, and such lighter PEN
alties of over indulgence as headache
and Turing of the tongue, may be
avoided.
