In an article on the human eve writ
ten by Dr. Austin Flint, the following
passage occurs: Viewed as an optical
instrument, the human eye may well
be called perfect. for it is an apparatus
contained in 4 globe less than an inch
in diameter, in which is produced an
image, practically perfect in form and
color. and which can be accurately ad
justed almost instantly for every dis
tance from five inches 10 infnity. which
is movable in every direction, has an
area small enough for the detection of
the most minute details, and at the
same time large enough for the appre-
citation of large objects, and which en-
ables MS 10 see all shades of color and
to estimate distance, solidity and. 70
some extent, the consistency of OBJ
jects.H And yet this wonderful instru-
ment, perhaps the most varied in its
capabilities OF any part Of the body, is
persistently m;sused and neglected. Is
it any wonder that some day nature
resents this treatment and leaves the
offenders in total and perpetual DARK
ueSs?-E. y Ledger.

SCALDED TO DEATH
NIGHT WATCHMAN OUNLIFFE
MEETS a HORRIBLE DEATH
Escaping Steam and Hot Grease Are
Showered Upon Him, Literally
Roasting Him-Died Standing Up
Against the Wall-HiS Partner Es
capped by Jumping.

Standing as erect as a statue Charles
Cunliffe, watchman in Whittaker's $
packing house, died yeserday morning
between u and l o'clock.
He was scaIded to death by steam
and boiling grease, which was show
cred with such powerful force over his
body that he probably never knew
what appended him for when he was
found he was standing against the
wall his limbs being roasted till they
were rigid.
The deceased was assistant engineer
and night watchman at the packing
house. About II o'clock Engineer
Foote recognized that there was some
thing wrong with the engine and the
safety valve would not work. He went
to open it and grease flew out instead
Of steam which indicated that a stop
page was caused in the reservoir by
bones or trash from the fertilizer tank,
clogging it up. He then went down
stairs to open the cock and found II
clogged up. He then summoned the
night watchman and both of them pro-
ceeded to let out the steam. Mr.. Cum
life opened the stop cock with wrench
while Mr.. Foote proceeded with a rod
to remove the obstructions. This done
steam and grease poured out with ter
rible force.
The engineer ran to the window of
the third floor and lifted himself out.
He raised himself with his hand from
the window sill to call Cunliffe to fol-
low him and then allowed himself to
drop. He fell on the stairway below,
and strange enough did not receive any
injuries. He then ran around to the
front door in order to render some as
sistance to his partner, but he was un-
able to enter Being unable to render
any assistance he gave the alarm and
several men came to his assistance,
but too late, for Cunliffe was dead.
The coroner held an inquest yeSter-
day with the following jurors: Dan
Burman, e. f. Enoch, Mr.. Jackman,
George Norris, T. B. McCully and
Henry Forby. They returned ver-
dict of accidental death.
The deceased was 40 years of age and
leaves a wife and seven children to
mourn his death.

WICHITA HEALTH RESORT.

DR.. A. F. Mckay of Chicago, secre-
tary OF the worlds congress of medico-
climatology, who is personally study
ing the advantages of different locali-
ties of the country to be embodied in a
report for the congress which meets in
1898, and in the meantime writing up
the same in detail for the publication,
American Climates and Resorts, cir
culated principally among the medical
profession, is in the city, and will spend
several days in securing accurate data,
not only of the city's advantages as TO
health, but as to business, future pros
poets. etc. In addition to his other en-
dOrsements the physicians of this city
have given him a strong letter of rec
ommendation. AS Wichita has the fin
est water, in the way of purity, to be
found almost anywhere, and an un-
rivaled climate for people inflicted
with incipient pulmonary troubles and
the like, his report may be of great ad
vantage in the future.

SUNDAY NIGHT FIRE.
Residence OF Police Comm ssioner Davis Burn
ed TO the Ground.

The residence Of +. A. Davis. Police
commissioner, corner of Osie and Fifth
avenue, was destroyed at 10 o'clock
Sunday night by fire.
Flames were discovered shooting up
from the roof at that hour, and soon
the comfortable two story, ten room,
frame building was at the mercy of the
roaring, leaping, angry elements of de-
struction. An alarm was turned in, but
the fire department, after covering
nearly a distance of two miles, were
hampered for want of water. the near
est hydrant being half a mile away,
although with their usual heroic sense
OF duty the out buildings were saved
and all of the furniture on the first
floor The upper rooms were used as
sleeping apartments and every thing in
these rooms were destroyed. The fam
lily losing all of their wearing apparel,
besides. valuable furniture and costly
carpets. a small insurance was car
ried on the building. Mr.. Davis, il
might be said, has been in acritical con-
dition for the past week, suffering from
a complication of heart and dropsical
troubles. He was tenderly removed 10
the home of his neighbor, L. c. Hert-
zell, where every thing was done for
his comfort and TO cheer the doubly
afflicted family in this their hour of dis
treSS and trouble.

STORY OF DRESSED DOLL.

The doll show has passed into the
history of Wichita. but it had coupled
with il some mysteries that are still
perplexing. One Of the purchasers Of
a doll is convinced of this. The pur-
chase was made more in compliment to
the young bride who dressed it, than
for the possession Of the doll. Once in
possession OF the doll. however, the
purchaser began to undress it and
found it a complete baby doll, logged
out as complete as any infant, even to

pinned article which is a baby's sole
