Remarkable Eyes.

Emma Byers, remarkable freak of
nature known as s'the girl with doll
baby in her eye" was born at Fair
mount, near Cincinnati, in February,
1882. The writer last saw her in May,
1883, when her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Byers, lived at Budd and Har-
riet streets, Cincinnati. The eyes Of the
child, Emma, SO far as is known to the
contrary, are, or were, the most remark
able organs of vision which nature ever
set in the head of a human being. In
her left optic was the form of a perfect
doll baby, handsomely dressed, and with
features positively beautiful.
This wonderful freak was not dis
coloration Of the iris. or anything Of
that nature, but was to be seen in the
form Of the pupil itself. The pupil of
the right eye was also of the freakish
order, being in the exact shape of a

moon at about the time of its first quar-

tinct, but could be plainly observed at a
distance Of s or 10 feet. When she was
first born her parents believed the child
to be blind, but subsequent events
proved her to be a child with remarka-

The Dead of the Sea.

An inquisitive Frenchman has
thought it worth while to ask what be-
GENES of the bodies, after death, Of the
numberless fish and other living crea-
lures that fill the sea. OF course they
all die, sooner or later, and yet it is an
occurrence SO rare as to be practically
unknown for anybody who lives beside
or on the ocean to come across the ere
mains" of even single victim. of the
fate that awaits all things mortal. In
the profounder depths putrefaction can
not take place, SO if a dead fish once
reached those calm, chill abysses he
would be preserved until the end of
time. Probably, however, no such
peaceful repose awaits more than an in
finitesimaliy small proportion of the
finny folk, and no great accumulation
Of lifeless bodies exists at the bottom OF
the sea. The living eat the dead before
they can make the long, slow journey
downward. AS a mattec Of fact, ex-
tremely few fish, and perhaps none,
ever meet what is known as a natural
death" Almost always they are slain
and deyonred, and SO put definitely out
of the way

The .Breathing Cave.

In the state of North Carolina, in the
western part, in the range Of noun
tains known as the Fork range, is located
the most remarkable cavern now known
to exist. 1t is called the breathing
Cave and is certainly most wonder
full natural curiosity. During the summer
months current of air comes from it
which is so strong that a full grown
man cannot walk against it, and in
winter the thrush" of air is equally
strong. At times a most unpleasant
odor is emitted from the cave, which is
supposed to be from the carcasses Of
dead animals which have been sucked
in and killed by coming in contact with
the inner walls of the inanimate, breath
ing monster. During the spring months,
sghen the change from inhalation to ex-
halation takes place, the air is filled
with pellets Of hair, dry bones, small
claws, etc., which are supposed to come
from creatures sucked into this dry land
maelstrom in times passed.
Many scientists have visited and re-
visited the place for the purpose Of
studying its peculiarities, but still the
mystery remains unexplained. st. Lou

RESEARCHES IN THE AIR.
There Are Millions of Dust Particles In Q
Cubic Foot.

| Cubic Foot.
The air Of meeting room, tested in
different places and at different times
during the progress of the meeting,
showed numbers of micro organisms
varying from IS, 900 to 8, 500, 000.. The
air near the ground contained fewer
than the air near the ceiling. For exam
pie, the air some four feet from the
ground contained 27O,O before the
meeting and at the end Of the meeting
400, 600, while near the ceiling the
amount at the beginning of the meeting
was 5000, 600, and at the end Of the
meeting this had been increased to
$500, 900.
Air near a burning jet Of gas showed
the largest figures of all. Thus, in the
immediate vicinity of bunsen flame the

900, 900 per cubic inch. In Mr.. Aitkin' g
own words: "It does seem strange that
there may be as many dust particles in
one cubic inch Of air of room at night
when the gas is burning as there are
inhabitants in Great Britain, and that
in three cubic inches of gases from a
bunsen fame there are as many parti-
cles as there are inhabitants of the
world"
Possibly tests ON the air of smoking

Ticket of Leave Men.

The ticket Of leave is, in most in
stances, only means to compel the I'M
fortunate ex-prisoner to give facilities
to the police to throw obstacles in the
way of obtaining honest employment.
These obstacles may not be Intentional
" created by the police. In some cases
the reporting Of the ex-convict may en-
able those whose duty it is to keep an
eye upon his movements to prevent a
hopeless thief from palming himself off
for purposes of theft upon some unsus-
pecting employer.
In very large number of cases, how
ever, it means that men who have been
in convict prison only once. and who
may have found their way there owing
to untoward circumstances, intemper-
ance or temptation, and not through
calculated crime, are prevented by this
police surveillance from obtaining fair
play in their endeavor to throw off all
trace and suspicion of their past crime
and prison experience. Where the
''ticket" penalty saves one employer
from the risk Of harboring an old jail
bird in the guise of an honest worker, it
prevents 30 men who may be honestly
bent upon better ways from obtaining
the employment which would make
them independent of criminal practices.

companied by her husband, and point
ing to her swollen face asked the dem
fist to extract the offending tooth. He
placed her in the chair, and taking the
small hand glass which dentists use put
it into her mouth for the purpose of ex-
amining the molar which was to be ex-
tracted.
The glass had no sooner touched the
tooth than she uttered frightful scream,
and, bouncing out of the chair, rushed
out into the waiting room, crying that
her jaw was broken. The united efforts
of her husband and the dentist were for
some time unable to persuade her that
the tooth was not extracted and that
she could not possibly have been hurt.
After examining her mouth with the
aid of a glass she finally became con-
WINGED that the tooth was still in it's
place. Taking her seat in the chair
again, she submitted to the operation Of
extracting the tooth without murmur
and expressed her surprise that the pain
was so slight. York World.

means IN their power to release the boat.

work had to be abandoned. It viii be re-

ers that the yacht may become injured
by the strain of her position have not
abated, and after thorough inspection
OF the boats position by the divers this
afternoon the builders were convinced.
If tonight's attempt IS not successful the
bow will be nghtened by pontoons to re-
Heve the strain as much as possible for
the further work of getting her into deep
water The Herreshoffs assert a belief,
however, that she wifi come loose tonight.
