A TUNNEL HEARING ANNOUNCED.

The State Railroad Commissioners have
lmade wise move in deciding TO hold an
open meeting for argument and suggestion
in tho matter Of lighting and venti-
lAting the Fourth Avenue Railway Tun-
mel. Such meeting they have
appointed for Wednesday next at 10 O'Clock
A. NJ, in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms. Taking the public into Its
confidence is the surest way public body
has OF securing the confidence of the people
for whom 1t acts. Particularly is this true
where the interests involved are those OF
the people ON the one side and Of great
and powerful corporation on the other.
But aside from all such considerations,
the holding of public meeting, and the re-
ception OF such ideas and suggestions as will
be put forth on that occasion, is more thar
likely to be of real assist ance to the Com
missioners in the great work they have be
fore them. 1t is not true that the engineers
and electricians known In a general way
as experts in their profession possess
. monopoly Of all the knowledge in theil
Lines. A layman Of practical turn Of mind
has more than once succeeded in admins
tering poser to one of these gentlemen
and while It Is undoubtedly the case that
experts must carry out the plans finally
adopted, the likelihood is not removed tina
the plans will include some valuable hintl
dropped at the coming meeting

COLLEGE HuNOR.

The idea OF humor entertained by col
legians Is not one which the writer's on
rhetoric would consider as at all germane to
the essence of this delicate phase of thought.
Collocation OF incongruities is an element
in the humorous, but 1t is not all, and here
is where the merry collegisn goes TO pieces
and stirs TO tearfulness instead Of to laugh
ter.
The statue of the founder OF the chief uni
versity OF America was recently desecrated
by boorish students, whose efforts as hui.
morists entitle them only to FOOLS cap
and expulsion. A red cross was daubed on
john HARvARp's brow, and the marble was
otherwise misadorned in spirit more of
vandalism than Of humor.
The Wyoming Seminary students are
more amusing. After seeing the Faculty
regaled on strawberry shortcake for week
at supper they obtained large supplies OF
1t for themselves and proceeded at open
table to gibe and jeer at the professors,
who were left out in the cold. Now the
grave Board is considering whether tho In.
stitution can stand expelling the whole
body of students, as 1t is threatened by
the boys that II ono goes all go.

STRAINING THE EYES.

Reading, Writing, &C., Most Injuri-
GUS to the Optics.
Some time ago the Breslau occulist, DR..
II. Cohn, on examining the eyes OF seventy
five watchmakers, says London It'd Bits,
found that scarcely per cent of the num-
Der were affected with shortsiRhtedness
which result seemed to justify the belief
that the use OF the loupe was an excellent
protection against myopia.
The same oculist examined the eyes OF
fifty watchmakers IN frierburg watch
factory, who had for years, without using a
loupe, worked the fine parts of watches and
of whom, nevertheless, only two wers
slightly shortsighted.
From this DR.. Cohn concludes that watch
making is an industry not injurious to tht
eye, while, considering the fact that his ex
tensiye examinations among students hat
established an average OF SO per cent.
among compositors of 81 per cent.
and OF photographers OF 81 per cent.
afflicted with myopia, he comes t,
the conclusion that reading, writing, com
posing and drawing are more injurious I,
the eyes than tho constant exercise OF tn
visual organ in connection with fine sta
tionary objects.

ART MUSEUMS SUNDAY OPENING.

The people are to receive on Sunday next
the first fruits Of victory long fought for
and long delayed. On that day for the
first time the doors Of the Museum of Art
will be thrown open to admit to the gal
leries some of those thousands to whom
only Sunday visits are possible.
The occasion will mark another
step towards the recognition, which shall
some day be full and complete, of popular
rights and needs while as for the mere act
OF opening the doors, it will lead to the
planting of new ideas and new intellectual
influences where such seed will do the mos,
good.
People, city, and eventually the Museum
all will be gamers by the new departure.

You must part your hair down the front, says
the highest authority In the Court OF st. james.
Perhaps the idea originated In the becoming
headdress worn by Miss Julia Nelson In The
"Dancing Girl" Az all events the hair Is not
to be worn pain, but curled on either side OF
the parting, being carried back to the far
crown of the head. as we see It worn by Her
Majesty on the coins OF the realm. These
waved bandeaux assimilate well with the
fayorite Grecian style, but the back Of the hair
is still dressed nigh, and is likely to be so az
long as the high collars and cufIs keep in
fashion.
