There isa remarkable sympathy between
the eyes. So much is this the case that anv
serious injury to the one is almost certain
to affect the other; hence the necessity
which often arises for the removal OF tho
injured eye mainly for the sake Of saving
the other. This sympathy has been shown
to extend so far that color perceived by one
eye alone exeites the retina of the other
This is shown in the following way; n a
white surface is observed for a short ting

Tue other eye is screened, On removing the

theuse Of man. Recent and most exhaust
I've investigation proves II 10 be true. This
valley, 10 which 20 snake is DOW found,
was onee full Of serpcnts called by the
Sioux Indians the food snake" by reason
Of the size and delicious flavor OF It's eggs.
BIZ untold dozens these eggs were laid In
pits followed out Of the soil for their re-
ception. As rule the pits were from to
s feet deep, IS inches In diameter and con.
tained from 100 10 200 eggs, snugly packed
AT the bottom aud covered with dry grass
and leaves The eggs were little larger
than those Of the domestic hen and more
palatable. but deadly poisonous.
Many Of the Sioux, tempted by hunger,
died from eating them. Often they were
purposely exposed to the discovery OF In
vading enemies In order TINT they should
eat and die. Not only were these eggs i'm
bued with poison, but they wese vluaIiy
peculiar II that they vfnained fresh and
palatable in all wea,hers for IS years, and
were finally Matched by the cold OF the win
ter and not the heat Of the summer.
Three hundred years ago Blue Goose, a
mighty chieftain, ruled the Sioux. His
wife discovered mixture which was per
feet nntidote TO the poison in the eggs. The
simplest washing in the mixture rendered
them perfectly wholesome
Blue Goose was lover OF war He saw
that by revealing the secret OF the antidote
the hunting Of buffalo, then numerous,
would largely cease, and that the people,
finding abundant food in the snake eggs
would grow indelent and los warllke,
He therefore formed council Of several
discrsst women. most solspnly pledged to
retain among themselves the kssrst VI the
antidote and to use 1t only in times ot
famine or defeat In war. This council was
self perpstuating and elected new members
only as vacancies occurred by death. Never
was the secret betrayed.
Indian tradition says that seven times
was an antidste used in times Of need,
when pestilence swept OF the entire coun-
try almost at stroke, aud the secret was
lost
The race OF food snakes was never recon-
ciled to this loss and rapidly dwindled
away They utterly disappeared about the
year 1880. 1t is interesting TO note that the
last place at which either the snakes or
their nests were found was in the timber
along the James river at Rondell. Anime
