Not For "a Year Yet

There is a mistaken idea going the
rounds of the press that the last leg
islature passed a bill making it obi
gatory upon cities to have covers on
their patrol wagons by the first day
of July, 1898. The legislature did
nothing of the kind. If it had the
Rock Island city council would now
be in contempt of the law. What
the Legislature did was to pass pa
troll cover law which goes into effect
the first day of July, 1894, This will
give the city fathers ample time to
find out the best kind of cover. and
will also enable a good many mis-
creants to ride to the calaboose in an
open barouche at the expense of the
city, enjoying the scenery while en-
route.

IN THE WOODS.

The boboiink sings at the break OF day,
The vhip.poorwill sings OF night.
Tic ehickadoe chirps, and the branches sway
And tho songs are bright and the songs are
gay.
And the shadows are put to flight
For It's singing among the swinging boughs,
IT'S singing among the grass;
Ana IT'S one sings high, and it's one sings low.
Ana It's one sings fast and another slow,
with a trill and a rush Of eager notes,
That thrill as thoy pour from their tiny throats
As the hours OF summer pass.
The bobolink builds In q lonely lea,
The whip-poor.will makes no nest;
The chickadeo builds in hollow tree,
with q round little door that few can sec,
And he thinks his home the best
And It's singing among tho swinging boughs,
It's singing among the grass;
Aud It's one sings here and It's one sings there,
While moss-Rrown rock has a merry pair,
with some In the grass and some on the trees,
Ana q trill and q thrill that stirs the breeze
As the hours Of summer pass.

THE HUMAN EYE.
by Means of Two Now Instruments All It's
Functions and Diseases Are Known.

BY Means of Two Now Instruments All It's
Functions and Diseases Are Known.
The London optician, in describing
the remarkable progress that has been
made of late years in the treat
ment of eye diseases, says that with
the ophthlamoscope and ophthalmome-
ter there are very few problems with
regard to the functions and diseases Of
the human eye that cannot be deter
mined by an expert in very few mo-
ments of time.
1t may safely be asserted that there
Is no department of knowledge of the
functions and diseases of the human
body that is so advanced as that Of
ophthalmology, and this has been the
work of the civilization of the nine,
teenth century. With the ophthalmo-
scope the circular opening in the iris,
which we call the pupil, is made win
dow looking upon scarlet picture, In
the center of which is n beautiful
white moonlight disc, over which radi-
ate vessels pulsating with the blood
constantly pumped in by the heart.
The darker returning current in the
veins is also seen, while the varying
and almost numberless changes made
by disease are noted by the practiced
eye, and tell tale of warning and Of
ten of woe. The entrance of the optic
nerve in the retina, little spot one
seventeenth of an inch in diameter, is
made to appear as white disc.
Besides all this, the lens and the
great vitreous humor-those trans
parent structures that make up the
greater part of the interior of the eye
are so lighted up that any changes
in them, however minute, are magni-
fed by their own power rs lenses and
clearly seen. With the instrument for
measuring the radius of the cernea,
the ophthalmometer, another variety
of revelation is made, which reduces
the choosing of glasses TO aid vision to
a purely scientific problem, easily and
exactly solved, and with satisfaction
in the solution that removes the whole
subject far from the humdrum and me-
chanical ideas that are often asso-
ciated with such an occupation.

In one Of the old castles Of northern

by singular mechanism. Each room
is adjoined by an alcove, used as IL

the adjoining alcoves turn on pivot in

one Of the ancestors Of the present

edge Of glade, saw sixty-fve bears in
consultation. One was lying bound
with grapevines, two were watching
over him and another was making a
speech. Presently the big bear stopped
talking and all the sixty-three growled
an assent. Some of the bears threw a
gravevine loop around the erring bears
neck, led him to u limb, threw the vine
over and six bears walked away with
it. In ten minutes the bear was dead,
and the Others went solemnly away
