Methods by Which Foreign Particles Can
Be Gotten Rid OF.
Never needlessly expose the eyes to for

whose directions must be implicitly followed.
The foreign bodies may be solids, as sand, cin-
ders, hair, dirt. &c, lime, acids or alkalies.
Don't rub the eyes, avoid sudden glares of light,
never look directly at the sun.
To remove the solid particles from under the
lids 1t IL sufficient to pull the lid away from the
eve and to wipe the body with piece Of moist
paper or the corner Of a handkerchief; if it is
under the upper lid. grasp the lid firmly be-
tween the thumb and finger, lift it from the
eyeball and draw it down over the lower lid.
and then allow it To slide slowly back to its
natural position. The foreign body will be
scraped off on the lashes. The operation may
be repeated several times. Or lift the lid from
the eyeball. allow the tears to accumulate be-
meath the lid and fOrcibly blow the nose. Or
place in the eye few grams of faxseed, which,
forming mucilage, will promptly bring relief.
Or place across the upper lid the point of o
pencil or bodkin and turn the lid back over it;
in this way the foreign particle is brought into
distinct view. and can be readily wiped away.
Lime and Roman cement are very destruct-

with water, then with water containing vinegar
or lemon juice.
For acids in the eyes, wash with water con-
tanning little ammonia or baking soda.
For alkaiies. wash with water containing

LAND TURTLE.


In that desert are also innumerable scorpion
mice-the only essentially carnivorous mice
known-which feed on scorpions and lizards.
There are big land turtles more than 9 foot
long. which shut up when they are alarmed
like box turtles. The Indians are very fond Of
their flesh, and 30 are the coyotes. Two kinds
of desert bats there are, both nearly white and
one with big ears. There are desert foxes
which feed on lizards and kangaroo rats
chiefly. The latter rodents furnish provender
that lives in the mesquite bushes which feeds
on the lizards. All OF these mammals are noe
turnal in their habits. The only ones which 60
abroad in the daytime are a few Jack rabbits,
cotton tail rabbits and white-tailed chlpmunks
In Furnace creek. which runs down into the
valley from the Funeral mountains. are frogs.
CHANGE OF COLOR.
One Of the most wonderful things about
these animals Of the desert is the devices Of
protective coloration which nature has escorted
to for their protection. For example, the
horned toads always take the tint Of the soil on
which they are found. On the alkaIi ground
they are white as a sheet OF note paper,
while on the lava crust they are dark. so that
the foxes and coyotes which prey on them may
plain are OF pale hue, while on the mountain
sides they are nearly black The white-tailed
chipmunk is exactly the color of the desert
sand When this little squirrel is stationary it
cannot be seen, but. when il runs away. it
throws Its tail over it's back. The tail then
shows cleaning white, being intended as a
signal TO other chipmunks. This il considered
an extraordinary instance of provision at the
same time Tor protection and recognition.

IN A JAVANESE THEATER,
A Show In Chicago - Work Of the
Prompter.


PrOmpter.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Besides the women who fascinAte western
visitors to the Javanese theater there are other
participants in the daily exercises. Dressed in
fantastic frocks Of cotton, wearing ON their
heads much tho same masks as those used by
the women in the dance. they stand in prim
rows on long board, which they are never
known to leave. These are little wooden
mnrionettes, which are worked on the stage by
one OF the natives, who sits just behind them
and moves their arms by means Of sticks which
are attached to them, making them pose and
gesticulate much as the real dancers do. The
latter people of the lower caste in Java never
see. Their place IL taken by the marionettes
Many of the Javanese in the village saw WON en-
dance for the first time in their lives here In
America.
Back of the players in the theaters is little
screen. Behind this sits the man who does the
conversation for the entire company changing
his voice to represent different characters The
actors are thus relieved Of the trouble Of re-
Numbering cues aud give their undivided at
tention to their gestures and to holding on their
masks with their teeth.
Back of this combination Of prompter and
all-around conversationalist are placed the mu-
sicians who constitute the "gameiany" or ma
in addition to their usual skirt of native cloth,
and before each man as he sits on low cushions
scattered on the floor is placed gong made in
Samarang, q pipe, or rude attempt ut q
-iolin. The gongs are made OF different
metals and composition, giving a fairly wide
range OF tone. There are, however, only two
scales in Javanese music. one having q range Of
five. the other of seven notes. Many Of the
European tones are therefore unrepresented.
Notwithstanding this fact, the musicians have
picked out Yankee Doodle" America" and
the Dutch national air on the instruments,
blending three or four Of their own tone
values to produce the missing notes. The music
is trile wavering and uncertain at times, but
the audiences that fill the theater applaud 1t
with unmistakable heartiness. Each Of the iu-
struments is gorgeously decorated with dragons
and reptiles done in bright blue paint and
gliding, SO the stage with its setting Of
Jsvanese scenery showing the purple noun
tains and winding streams Of that far-off coun-
try presents rather gay appearance contrast
ing pleasantly with the sober brown and ecru
tints Of the woven bamboo walls aud hangings

One species is very good to eat. 1t attains .
length Of about one foot, is fat, and when prop
erly prepared tastes like bullfrog DR.. A. K
Fisher and others Of the expedition ate several
specimens of this kind lacking other meat, and
found them good. The Indians OF that region
depend to a considerable extent for food upon
the creature, which they call "chuck-walls."
They hook it out from clefts in the rocks by
means Of q forksd stick or a bit Of WIRE. To
catch il on the run is out Of the question. So
active is the animal that it is hard to get within
gunshot Of ii. This remarkable lizard subsists
wholly on buds and flowers. When cut open
its stomach is USUALLY found to contain a good
sized bouquet of yellow cassias, lotus blosso ms
and salmon-colored mallowa
WITH A GRIpIRoS TAIL.
Not less extraordinary is the so-called grid
tron-tailed lizard, which carries its caudal ap-
pendage coiied over its back as if it were afraid
to put it down on the hot sand This animal
inhabits the open desert and runs with amazing
svlftness. 1t starts at full speed and stops with
equal audiences, thus eluding hawks, coyotes
and other foes When at rest its colors mar
monte so well with those of the ground that
II can hardly be seem No horse can keep up
with it when it is doing its best gait The expe-
dltion had dog, Russian terrier, which
thought 1t would be fun to chase these lizards.
At the first haif-dozen trials it was much sur
prissd to see the reptile pass like a flash out Of
the range Of vision. In fact the creature
travels with such velocity that the eye can
hardly follow it.
During ITS leisure moments the gridiron- tail
amuses itself by going through q curious sort
OF gymnastic exercise on the rocks. Placing
Itself with its elbows at the sharpest
angle with its body. 1t alternately lifts and
lowers itself on its fore legs. Thus it will con-
unue to hump" itself for many minutes to-
gether Ii Is about eight inches long Insects
end mower furnish its food. Lizards Of bigger
species eat it when they get chance.

Another odd species is the whip tailed lizard,
