THE EAGLES eve.
why IL Can See Both Nearby or Distant Oh
jests Equally Well.

Why It Can See Both Nearby or Distant or
josts Equally Well.
All birds Of prey have popularity
Of eye structure that enables them 10
see near or distant objects equally we'll
An eagle win ascend more than mile
I'm perpendiculaz height, and from that
elevation can perceive its unsuspecting
prey and pounce upon It with unerring
certainty. Yet the same bird can scruti-
nize with almost microscopic" nicetyyan
obiect close at hand, thus possessing o
power OF accommodating its sight 10
distance In manner to which the hu-
man eye is untitled, and of which 1t is
totally incapable.
In looking at printed page we find
that there il some particular distance,
probably 10 inches, ut which we can
read the words and see each letter with
perfect distinctness, but II the page be
moved to q distance Of 10 inches or
brought within o distance Of FIVE inches
we find it impossible TO read IL at all.
A scientific man would therefore call 10
inches the focus or focal distance Of
our eyes. This focus cannot be altered
except by the aid of spectacles.
But an eagle has the power of alter
ing the focus of it's eye just as it pleases.
It has only to look at an object at the
distance Of two feet or of two miles in
order to see it with perfect distinctness.
OF course the eagle knows nothing Of
the wonderful contrivance that the
Creator has supplied for it's accommo-
dation. It employs it instinctively and
because it cannot help it The ball Of
the eye Is surrounded by 10 little plates
called sclerotic bones They form q
complete ring, and their edges slightly
overlap each other. When it looks at
distant object, this little circle Of
bones expands, and the ball of the eye,
being relieved from the pressure, be-
comes hatter. When it looks at very
near object, the little bones press to
gether, and the ball of the eye ID thus
squeezed into rounder or more convex
form.
The effect is very familiar to every
one A person with very round eyes is
near sighted, and person with fat
syes, as In old age, can zee nothing ex-
cept at distance The eagle, by the
mere will, can make its eyes round or
Fat and see with equal clearness ut any

RUMORS or ALL KINDS
We're Flying Around When the House
and Senate Conferees Took
Their Noon Recess.
SOMETHING TOBE DONE SOON
And Those Best Informed Think
There win Be Agreement by
Saturday at Latest.

WASHINGTON, Aug. AT o'clock
the Democratic conferees adjourned nm
til $50.
When the conferees adjourned for
their usual recess, the air was full of all
kinds OF rumors, among them being the
statement that IN agreement would be
reached at the afternoon session.
The conferees all declined &C say any
thing. "A leading conservative senator
said the house must take the RESPONSE
bility Of risking another vote upon Ii In
the senate. There seems to be dispo-
sition on the part Of the senate to force
decision, one way or the other, during
the day, but the issue may further be
delayed.
Agree by Saturday.
Out Of the many conflicting reports at
noon recess of the conferees, it became
evident, and was so stated by those
most intimate with the conferees, that
an agreement was very near at hand,
and might be reached any time. Rep
resentative Straus Of New York, who is
closely associated with Mr.. Wilson,
gave IL as his opinion that there would
be q complete agreement by Saturday,
ut the latest.
Leaders Held Conferences.
Senators Jones and Vest of the tariff
conference committee, and Senators
German and Smith, acting ON hehalf Of
the conservative senators, held a meet
ing previous TO the convering of the
conference, and it Ii understood decided
that the time had arrived when the con-
ference should come to the end, and that
they arranged program for bring
ing about this result.
The program as detailed was 10 have

ferences, and In case Of failure, to urge
that q disagreement be reported without

of the senate holds frequent sessions
these days and during the morning held
q session Of considerable Importance in
view OF the various propositions that
have been threatened In the senate by
the Democrats. The main point was
practically agreed upon. The Republi-
cans think that tits no time todebate the
differences that exist in the Democratic
ranks. The proposition that has been
made to make sugar free was also dis
cussed, and the bearing this item would
have upon the success Of the bill. The
opinion was expressed that by putting
sugar ON the free list, the votes of the
Louisiana senators would be lost to the
bill, but that Senator PETER might vote
for 1t. The Republicans say that IL a
proposition is made to put sugar ON the
free list, it win receive the support of
nearly the entire Republican side.
