THE OWLS EYES.


Out TOO Late.
How do we account for the ability
of cats, rats. owls, and other nocturnal
providers 10 see In the dark? How can
the cat sec the rat at night. and how
can the owl see the sleeping bird on
the limb OF tree? In the economy
OF nature there il no provision for
times of inactivity, and certain ami
mails are so constituted that their work
ing hours begin just when those OF the
other animals cease. When the weary
laborer has finished his evening meal,
when the chickens are seeking their
roosts and the little birds are putting
their little heads under their wings.
then the tiger energies from the Jungle.
the rat from his hole. and the owl from
his haunt in barn or swamp tree. In
natures stillest moments there are
animals working in accordance with
that first law OF nature, sclf-preserva-
ton. just as we see others doing In the
glare OF the sunlight.
II is mistake. however. To suppose
that any animal, whether quadrupcd.
bird or reptile. can see in absolute
darkness The eat can not see the rat
I'm the cellar II there is total darkness
nor can the owl see the sleeping bird.
Some light IL an absolutely necessary
condition OF sight but while this is
true nature has provided that the ma
tural night workers may see with the
very minimum OF light and as an adj
ditional help certain other senses are
amazingly sharpeaed in owls To assist
the effort 90 see In the dark.
The owl which is the only night
worker that viii be considered now is
popularity supposed to be capable OF
seeing in utter darkness. While IL
probably comes nearer 20 this ability
than any other creature, the owl would
be as helpless In total darkness as 1t
would be at MONDAY II IL were not for
its remarkable organization for hear
ing and feeling The so-called barn
owl. which Is the most common In our
country, has perhaps the best nocturnal
vision OF all the blinking family. 1t
can undoubtedly attend 10 business
very well when IL is so dark that you
would hardly be able TO see your hand
before your face.
All animals that prowl at night have
cye-pupils that are capable OF great
distension. BY this means the quantity
OF light focused In the inner eye is
greatly enlarged. But the owl has a
strange additional arrangement for the
same purpose. There is feathery
disk surrounding the eye which
answers tho purpose OF n reflector.
concentrating the rays OF light and
focusing them upon the pupil.
The favorite working hours OF the
common owl are the early morning
and the late evening, when the faint
light is ample for owlish purposes but
insufficient for tho visual organs OF tho
owls victims. II sometimes happens.
however, that the owl falls victim
himself 90 his keen nocturnal vision.
He occasionally stays out too late at
night just rs large unfeathered
creatures sometimes do, and then, like
the latter, he has difficulty in finding
his way home. II be forgets the flight
OF time in the pleasure OF gratifying
his inordinate appetite. II daylight
comes upon him while he is still far
away from home, then he is as help
less as child in its first walking

A Clash Between Utah & Nevada

AN ENGINE BADLY DEMORALIzED
W. j. Shotwell succeeds A. n. Oliver as
Agent of the Denver & Rio Grande
in this City.

Yesterday morning when April fool Jokes
were the rule, Utah & Nevada engine
committed very expensive joke on q Utah
Central locomotive.
At South Temple and Fourth West street
the Utah & Nevada has sly" track cross
ing that of the Utah Central.
Engine No. 81, with Fred Lewis engineer
and Fred Hill fireman, of the Utah 81 Ne
vada, was coming north on the north stem
of the "Y' hauling four cars of salt into
the Union Pacific yard. Engineer Wallace,
driving engine No. 2. at the same time was
going west at a pretty good jog, and think
ing that the other train was approaching on
the south track of the ''Y'', did not check
up. When he saw that he was to be caught
he put On the brakes and jumped with his
fireman, and just in time to escape the COL
lision as the Utah & Nevada engine came
crashing in. No 2 tumbled over on its side,
clearing the track, and all day lay as help
less as stranded whale. Its drivers and
rods are all bent, while No 81 escaped with
little damage, except broken pilot

w. G. Hall, the newly elected city attor-
ney, is now looking up the business of his
Office and will be in the harness IN a day or
two. Colonel Merritt will leave for Cali
fornia not later than Saturday, and after a
short stay on the coast will probably take a
trip to the Sandwich islands. Frank B.
Stephens is not III the least disappointed
over the success of Mr.. Hall. He made no
active fight for the Office, but he had some
strong supporters in the caucus, and but
for one fact would probably have been
elected. The councilmen all acknowledged
Mr.. Stephens ability as lawyer and his
fitness for the Office, but it was urged that
in the superintendent of the officers when
the Liberals assumed control, the city at
torney was given to the Democrats. The
retiring attorney being q Democrat, 1t
would be unfair to appoint Republican tc
| succeed him, and of course that settled MIR
Stephens chances.

"They are glass" said the fare.
Dog jealousy.

Druggist Koehler lives in Mount Auburn.
He owns huge bloodhound, which for a
long time had been the pet of the children
on the block. Not long ago he presented
his neighbor, Stacey Hill, Jr., with sol
emn looking little pug. The children i'm
mediately transferred their affections from
the big bloodhound to the little pug. The
bloodhound moped for while, and once or
twice assaulted his rival, the pug. The
other day the pug disappeared. 1t was
sought far and wide. One Of Mr.. Hills
servants remembered that she had seen
the bloodhound carrying the pug pup in
his mouth through the side yard of the Hill
residence Another search was made.
The pug was found in the cistern. 1t
was dead. The bloodhound had captured
the pug, carried it into the rear yard and
dropped it into the cistern we'll, the cover
of which was half removed. The blood.
hound thus disposed of his rival. This is q
curious story and an interesting one. Its
truth is volched for by Druggist Koehler,
Mr.. Hill and the servants-veracious per-
sons all of them.-Cincinnati Commercial

ALL KINDS OF BATHS
Hot, Salt Water, Warm Springs,
Turkish, Russian and VapOr,
INDICATED AND ELECTRIC.
The Most Complete sanitarium and Bathing
establishment in the United States
to be Established Here.

DR.. D. W. Scott, who visited this city
several weeks ago, and who was reported
TO be negotiating for the purchase of the
hot springs owned by the Utah Lime and
Cement company, will establish in this city
one of the largest and most complete nata-
forums and sanitariums in this country.
Before leaving for the east Mr.. Scott ar
ranged with q business man here to pur-
chase the old natstorium outfit if it could
be had at stipulated price. These nego-
tiations are being conducted quietly.
Should they fail to mature in the purchase
Of the old pipe line and its franchises, an
independent line will be built, and this, it
is believed, will be the cheapest in the end,
as much Of the old line would have to be
relaid.
DIR. Scott is now at the Lincoln park san
itarium, Chicago, H., aud writes his agent
here that at recent consultation OF the
hackers of the scheme it was determined to
enlarge the original plan, to include every
kind of baths that has met with favor in
this country, and in addition thereto, hot
Great Salt lake baths, with water brought
to this city in tank cars.
The natatorium Is to be arranged with a
large swimming pool and the private baths
are TO be q strong feature, as they will be
fitted up in the most Luxurious manner. II
the old natatorium sight is secured large
brick building will be erected to contain the
Russian, Turkish, indicated, vapor and
electric baths.
For persons preferring Great Salt Lake
water to the hot springs product, private
baths will be supplied, hot and cold. The
water will be brought to this city daily, a
large tank car holding 100 barrels being
used for that purpose.
The failure of the old Natatorium pipe
line was attributed to the wooden pipe
strapped with iron bands, corroding in the
swamp lands. The plan is to raise the
water to a sufficient height at the no,
springs to allow the water to come to this
city by its own gravity, and secure down.
grade line around the base of the mountain
to Main street and thence TO the Nata-
forum, which will be erected on or below
Fourth South, unless the old Natatoriun
building is used.
The Sanitarium will play big part In
the business of the company and the vir-
tues Of the hot springs and salt water will
be extensively advertised over the entire
country. The popularity of medicated anC
vapor baths makes them in great demand
and this department of the institution will
be worked for all it is worth. A corps OF
physicians will be in attendance, diagnos
ing the patient and prescribing the kind OF
bath which they should use.
The Russian and Turkish baths will b,
fitted up in The most luxurious style.
DR.. Scott will return to this city in ter
days or two weeks, when more of the par
ticulars Of this important enterprise vii
be learned.
