a HINDOO MIRACLE.

/ Z rom inc arena. -
A German traveller and philosopher,
| Heinrich Heusoldt, Phi. D., gives an &C.
count of some wonderful experiences
among Hindoo adopts while living with
them to study their philosophy. Here
is one of his marvellous adventures:
Coomra Sami led the way to a cur
| tanned door in the wall on the west
side, located about twelve yards from
| where we stood. 1t was now pitch
dark and the rain was falling fast. SO
that was glad to get under cover. We
walked through several empty rooms
and then assembled a stair, Ceemra
holding my hand all the time and pilot
ing me through the darkness.

the end of the steps and had advanced

many of them three hundred years
old-written in Pail and Devanagari,
and you can come here as often as you
like and study to your hearts content;
or you are at liberty to take the whole
lot to your own room" He released
my hand and left me standing in the
dark, while heard him walk some dis
lance and opened what >afterward

THE EYE OF THE EAGLE.
Can See objects Close at Hand as Wen
as Those at "a Distance.

Can See objects Close at Hand as Web
as Those at "a Distance.
All birds Of prey have a popularity
OF eye structure that enables them
TO sec near or distant objects equally
we'll An eagle will ascend more
than a mile in perpendicular height
and from that elevation can see its
unsuspecting prey and pounce upon
it with unerring certainty, says the
Louisville Commercial Yet the
same bird can scrutinize with al
most microscopic nicely an object
close at hand, thus possess
ing power OF accommodating its
sight to distance in q manner TO
which the human eye is unified and
OF which it is totally incapable. In
looking at printed page we find
that there is some particular dis
tance. probably ten inches, at which
we can read the words and sec each
letter with perfect distinctness. but
II the page be moved to distance
of forty inches or brought within
distance of five inches We find it i'm
possible TO read it at all. A
scientific man would there
fore call ten inches tho TO-
Gus, or focal distance, Of our
eyes This distance cannot be al
tered except by the aid of spectacles.
But an eagle has the power OF alter
ing the focus OF It's eye just as IL
pleases. 1t has only to look at an
object at the distance OF two feet or
two miles in order to see it with
perfect distinctness or course, the
eagle knows nothing of tho wonder
full contrivance that the Creator has
supplied for its accommodation. 1t
employs it instinctively and because
it cannot help it. The ball OF the
eye is surrounded by fifteen little
plates called sclerotic bones. They
form complete ring and their edges
slightly overlap each other. When
it looks at distant object this little
circlo OF bones expands and the ball
of the eye, being relieved from the
pressure, becomes Halter; when il
looks at very near object the little
bones press together and the ball OF
the cye is thus squeezed into q
rounder or more convex form. The
effect is very familiar to every one.
A person with very round eyes Is
near sighted and q person with fiat
eyes, as in old age, can see nothing
except at a distance. The eagle, BY
the mere will, can make its eyes
round or fat and see with equal
clearness at any distance.

TEACH CHILDREN TO SWIM.

In view OF the many and narrowing
deaths by drowning that are always
coming among the distressing Incl
dents of the summer season, it would
seem as though parents would con-
slider it far more necessary to have
their children taught to swim than
to spend so much care and trouble
on accomplishments that are OF no
earthly value to any of the latter
who gets into water over his or her
head. This little preach, says the
Philadelphia Times. is not meant by
any means in the way to run down
advantages to be derived from the
highest mental training. but wh6,

grees be If in a moment OF impulsive

Parents would feel highly incensed
IL some outsider were to remark
that they cared more for the mental
health Of their children than for
their physical welfare. Yet in
many cases this is true. though per-
haps unwittinglY so. Outside of the
fact that a knowledge of swimming
may some time be the means of saw
ing life, it is most healthful and
delightful exercise, even though
never put to any more exacting pur-
pose than to pass away pleasantly q
few hours at the natatorium or in
the surf. In giving children as
many of the pleasures of life as lie
within the power OF their parents TO
grant, lessons in swimming should
be among the first thought OF. for
the pastime, unlike many others.
