How to See the Blood Vessels Of til. Eve

Purkinje discovered a very simple and
highly entertaining experiment by means
of which the retina, with all its veins and
blood vessels standing out in relief against
it, can be thrown into the air before ones
eyes. 1t is called the arborescent figure.
from its likeness to Il many branched tree.
and Is produced in the following manners:
In a dark room at night move II candle
backward and forward before the eyes,
these being firmly fixed on the wall be-
You'd After few seconds the air will as
sumo u reddish appearance, and running
over it in all directions may be seen the
veins and blood vessels in bold relief. while
toward the center of the figure there rises
up dark trunk, from which the veins
branch out on all sides.
The trunk is visible where the optic
nerve enters the eye, and this experiment
is chiefly interesting to the student as
proving that the parts Of the retina which
actually receive and produce the sensation
of light must lie behind the blood vessels
since these cast their shadow onto it, and
we are enabled to see them, as we see any
other object, externally. Jour.

WHEELING 8 coNNE11,svIL1E.
a Preliminary Survey 10 BIO Commenced
to-day, which IL IA Good Sign.

a Preliminary Survey TO DO Commenced
tu-dny, which Is IA Good Sign.
For 4 week or SO there has been Il
quiet rumor that the Wheeling & Con.
nellsville railroad project was about to
show that 1t was n very live project.
The report seemed to como on good
authority, but was pronounced by
knowing ones n little premature. 1t
turns out now, however, that it WINS
very well founded. To-day n prelimi-
nary survey OF the line from Wheeling
TO ConuellsyiIlc will be commenced,
with the view to selecting tho best
practicable route from this city TO
Wayncsburg. Mr.. job Abbott, chief
engineer OF tho Terminal company, has
also accepted the position Of chief
engineer OF tho new project, which fact
itself will tend to give confidence 10 tho
hopes OF those who desire TO sec tho
road built speedily. The field work
will be in charge OF Gilmore Brown,
also OF the Terminal engineering force,
and it could not be in better hands.
The survey, it is understood, will begin
at Lcathcrwood and proceed east.
The numerous surveys which have
been made covering II part OF the terri
tory will serve MS somewhat OF q guide
in the work, and enable Il thorough eX.
animation TO be made much moro rap
idly and easily than il the country
through which it is desired 10 build
were virgin territory.
Railroad men have studied out four
practicable routes from this city east,
two Of them uniting at WayncsburG,
and the three thus remaining crossing
tho MonongahCla river ut points separ-
ated by something like twenty miles.
The most northcrnmostof scroutes is
what is known rs the old South Penn
sylvania survey. 1t ran up Middle
Wheeling creek, crossed over by Pros
perity and Van Buren, to the hcadwaters
OF Ten-hiile creek, left this stream neay
Zollarsville and went ovcr to B~eallsvi!lc,
and crossing the Monongahcla at
California, ran TO New Haven, across
from Connellsvillc. Tho other
three routes MI had their be-
ginnings in the valley OF Big
Wheeling creek. The northcrnmost ran
up Enslow's fork, crossed the divide to
Browns fork OF Ten Mile, and thence
ran to Wayncsburg. The middle route
ran up the south fork OF Wheeling
creek, cut across by Jacksonville on to
Gray's fork OF Ten Mile, and also run to
Wayncsburg, and thence by Muddy
creek 10 the Monongahela and on to
uniontown. The most southerly route
runs by Ryerson's Station to White
Cottage, and thenccdownt to the Monon-
gala county, West Virginia, line at Dent
?. .. This line follows Dunkard's creek
to Dam No. $, on the Monongahcla
river, and thence across the country to
Uniontown, at which point a whole net
work oil coal roads is struck.
