Hundreds OF people were attracted to the
St. Johns River front, Jacksonville, Fla,
by waterspout. The column OF water
entered the river from McGlrt's Greek, on
the west side, and made across the river at
the rate OF about twenty-five miles an hour.
It was followed BY another at q distance OF
about quarter OF q mile.
Both were large fellows, and they started
from the surface Of the river in big round
coils, and gradually decreased up to the
centre OF the spout, when they again began
to widen, until they reached ths clouds and
gained the Same size as at the base.
Both of the spouts plowed through the
river and made the water fairly boil. The
two were followed by smaller one, and all
took straight course across the river to-
ward Villa Alexandria, the home OF Mrs.
Alexander Mitchell, Of Milwaukee. Then
they seemedto turn and make straight up
the river. As they progressed the water
seethed, boiled, and foamed, and spray was
thrown high in the air.

ELECTRICAL Theory OF VISION.
"A Scientist Tells an Experience He Had
MaiclinE tho HEine EaiIs


When lecturing at the Royal insti-
tuition recently Professor Lodge nut
forward hypothesis concerning the
relations between vision and cleo
trcity. In connection with this
theory Dr. Obach communicates to
Nature an interesting account of
an observation of his ou his own ewes.
| One evening, he tells us, after watch
ing the famous Rhine falls near
Schauffhausen for a considerable
time in the full glare of the sun,
which produced a dazzling whiteness
of spray, Dr. Obach felt intense pains
in his head, which did not diminish
much even after he had retired to
bed in perfectly dark room. He
thereupon resorted to a remedy
which had given relief to pains in
| the eyes on previous occasions, sim
| ply placing the thumb and forefnger
| over the closed eyelids and impart-
ing gentle vibrations to the eyeballs.
After two or three vibrations he
was compelled to stop, as the remedy
was not only painful, but produced
the sensation of a blush white light
of dazzling brightness like an cleo
trio arc-being brought almost into
contact with the eyes. After the
lapse of few minutes the luminous
phenomena subsidized, and he again
commenced the vibrations of the
eyeballs, which now could be done
longer than before ere it became I'M
bearable. This operation was re-
peated eight or ten times, till finally
the vibrations We're almost painless
and no longer produced any lumi-
Mostly.
The explanation of this phenome-
non appears to DR.. Obach to be this.
The intense brightness of the light
reflected from the spray had not only
reduced the resistance of the inter
cepting medium to a minimum, but
at the same time overtaxed the elias
tic tissues whose duties it would have
been to shake the material back into
its normal condition after the cessa
ton of the light. The energy thus
lost by the tissues was then sup
pressed from without by the vibrat-
ing fingers. For what reason the re-
turn of the intercepting substance to
It's original insulating condition
should also be attended by the sensa.
ton of light is difficult to conjecture,
unless it be directly due to the physi.
illogical effect produced on breaking
the circuit. Similar effects, DR..
Obach says, can be observedin less
pronounced form on vibrating the
eyeballs after an ordinary overstrain
of the ewes.

A Stolen Seernf.

The manufacture of tinware in
England originated in a stolen Sc
cret. Few readers need to be in
formed that tinware is simply thin
sheet iron plated with tin by being
dipped into the molten metal. In
theory it Is an easy matter to clean
the surface of iron. Dip the iron in
a bath of boiling tin and remove it,
enveloped in the silvery metal, to a
place of cooling. In practice, how
ever, the process is one of the most
difficult of arts. 1t was discovered
in Holland and guarded from pub
icity with the utmost vigilance for
nearly half a century. England tried
to discover the secret in vain until
James Sherman, Cornish miner,
crossed the channel. insinuated him
self surreptitiously into a tin plate
mandatory, made himself master
of the secret and brought it home. -

A bearded Owl From Cane Horn.

Captain Taylor of the Reaper has
a large stuffed owl in his cabin
which was caught off Cape Horn.
The owl could not stand the change
of climate, and it weakened and died
IN the equatorial regions. The ships
caIpeRter stuffed ib in an artistic
Fmanner, and now the bird adorns the
Reaper's after cabin.
" This owl differs from the rest of
its kind in having hair on its face
instead of feathers. The hair very
much resembles whiskers and gives
the bird q patriarchal look. The
crew tell many stories of the owls
sagacity and of the tricks they taught
1T. One night it escaped from its
cage in the carpenter shop, climbing
through the window into the cap
tains room, and perched on the foot
of his bed. When all was quiet on
the ship and Captain Taylor was
sound in slumber the owl began an
unearthly screeching. 1t may be
imagined that it created commo-
ton. The bird had never exhibited
its voice before, and the watch at
tributed. the yells to some nautical
demon who unbidden had come
aboard the ship Captain Taylor is
not at all superstitious, but never
theless he lost no time in striking a
light, and with his revolver in hand
he started to investigate. OF course
he very soon found that the bearded
fowl was responsible for the rumpus.
