The true site of the Garden Of Eden mas

iecture. The three continents of the Old
world have been gone over by theologians

According to DR.. A. d. Williams, the
white. faxen hair Of Albinos shows that
there is a deficiency of coloring materials
III their bodies. Further proof of this fact
e found in the absence of the necessary
amount of pigment in their eyes. Such per
sons have pink eyes because there Is not
nigment enough in the iris and upon its
nosterior surface TO prevent the red reflex
ofthe the fundus from shining through the
iris. Albinos are always greatly annoyed
bv strong light, because there is not sutli-
Gent coloring to prevent the ingress OF a
flood of it, the bright glare entering not
only through the pupil, but through the
substance of the iris as well
The ehoroid being likewise deficient IN
pigment. the excessive amount of light
dazzles and greatly confuses the vision.
Furthermore, the deficiency OF pigments
in the choroid prevents the light after 1t
has acted on the retina from being ao-
sorbed. that being the main function OF
the choroidal pigment. Albinism IS an
unfortunate condition, as there is no way
TO supply the deficient pigment to the iris
and choroid.-St. Louis Republic.

Horne street aud R. Sewell of Montgom-

writers, were arraigned in Justice KIM
merly's court this morning charged with
gambling by Jane Wilson of No. 20
kearny avenue. Wilson attempted to get
seven warrants issued for other policy
dealers in Justice ODonnell's
court yesterday, but his request
was refused. Justice ODonnell, when
interviewed this morning, stated
that he would not issue the warrants be-
cause the men complained of were doing
business on the Heights. IL is said that
one OF the warrants asked for was for the
arrest of Charles Weber, whose place OF
business is IN the rear of cigar store at
No. Montgomery street. Wilson has
made plays in nearly every policy shop in
the city aud has slips for evidence. He
is making the complaints. it is alleged,
because certain dealers refused to pay
him when he made hits.
One John Morris, potatoe dealer at
Ocean and Kearney avenues Is said TO be
behind Wilson Ia his fight against the
policy deale.s.
Morris has been playing heavily for
the past year, never splaying less than Sl2
