EoTH INJUNcTloNs DISSOLVED.

Judge Gunster Renders His Opinion in
the Cross Cases.
Judge Gunster handed down opinions
yesterday dissolving the iujunctions
heretofore granted the city against the
Scranton Gas and Water company and
the gas and water company against the
city.
In the former case the judge said
that the city bases its right to an in.
junction on an ordinance passed on
March 10, 1884, but that for almost ten
years that ordinance has been dead
letter. He did not think the reasons
sufficient to warrant him in granting a
permanent injunction.

Some debate occurred ON the parlia-
mentary situation.
Nice-PreSident Stevenson held that
the vote should be first taken on Mr..
ManderS0n'S amendment to instruct
the committee to report back an
amendment TO the free sugar bill Dro-
Vldlng for the Mckinley bounty on
raw domestic sugars.
Great interest was manifested in the
result Of the roll call. The two Iouisi-
ana senators and the three populists
voting in favor of the Henderson
amendment for the Mckinley bornrv
III the free sugar bill was carried y
10 20, the point of no quorum was then
raised but the roll was again called.
The call developed the presence of
tlfty-four senators, eleven more than I
quorum.
At the request of Senator German.
the Gray-Manderson resolution was
temporarily laid aside.
Mr.. Lindsay, democrat. of Ken.
lucky, offered 4 resolution expressing
1t TO be the sense of the senate that
congress should not adjourn until a
bill had been passed relieving and dis
Mr.. Henderson moved to amend the
resolution SO as to instruct the finance
committee to report back the amount
of profit to be derived by the whisky
trust from the tariff bill now in the
hands of the president
Mr.. Sherman took the floor to in
dulge, as he said, in some plain
talk" He reviewed the blunders made
by the democrats in the general con-
duct of the long tariff fight. The re-
suit of the plumbers in detail Mr..
Sherman said, was that from fifty to
100 very important errors would be
found in the bill as it would be signed
by the president. Already several Of
great Importance had been discovered.
One of them, tina t provided for the free
entry of alcohol used in the arts,
would, II uncOrrected, cost the govern
ment $20,000,000 or $4,000, 900 of rev
enue annually. Mr. Hoar, the author
of the amendment, Mr.. Sherman as
serted, had not expected that it would
be accepted. He had simply offered
it as a tentative proposition. Mr.. Sher-
man quoted from the Record in sup
port of his statement. He deprecated
the attempted interference of the pres,
ident with congress, but he justified
Mr.. Carlisle's letter as to the effect of
the tariff bill on the revenues. He
stated that he would, if opportunity
! offered, vote for a straight duty on
raw and refined sugar without the diff
ferential. AS far as the other pop
gun bills were concerned, he was OPP
posed to placing iron ore, coal and
/ barbed wire on the free list.
Mr.. Gray, who followed Mr., Sher-
man, thought that no matter what the
result of the coming election might
be there would never be another Nc
! hinley law. The people were heartily
tired Of the scenes Of the past winter
which resulted from the Mckinley
law.
Mr.. Harris then called up the house
| bill to repeal the tax on alcohol used
in the arts, but adjournment was taken
before final action was had upon it.

THE EYE OF THE EAGLE.
Can See Objects Close at Hand as Well
Those at a Distance.

All birds of prey have a popularity
Of eye structure that enables them to
see near or distant objects equally
well. An eagle will ascend more than
a mile in perpendicular height and
from that elevation can see its I'M
suspecting prey and pOunce upon it
with unerring certainty, says the
Louisville Commercial. Yet the same
bird can scrutinize with almost micro
scopic nicely an object close at hand,
thus possessing a power of accOmmo-
dating it's sight to distance in man
ner to which the human eye is unified
and Of which it is totally incapable.
In looking at a printed page we find
that there is some particular distance,
probably ten inches, at which we can
read the words and see each letter
with perfect distirctness, but if the
page be moved to a distance Of forty
inches Or brought within distance
of five inches we find it impossible to
read it at all. A scientific man would
therefore call ten inches the focus, or
focal distance, of our eyes. This dis
lance cannot be altered except by the
aid of spectacles. But an eagle has
the power Of altering the focus Of its
eye just as it pleases. It has only to
look at an object at the distance of
two feet or two miles in order to see
it with perfect distinctness. OF
the eagle knows nothing of
the wonderful contrivance that the
Creator has supplied for its accommo-
dation. 1t employs it instinctively
and because it cannot help it. The
ball of it's eye is surrounded by fifteen
little plates called sclerOtic bones.
They form a complete ring and their
edges slightly overlap each other.
When it looks at a distant object this
little circle Of bones expands and the
ball Of the eye, being relieved from
the pressure, becomes fiatter; when it
looks at a very near object the little
bones press together and the ball of
the eye is 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 a person with fat eyes, as in old
ige, can see nothing except at a dis |
:ance. The eagle, by the mere will, !
IAN make its eyes round or fiat and
zee with equal clearness at any dis +,
ance.
