Charles B. Stone, a member of the
Board of Education, has been made
Deputy Superintendent of Common Schools
for this City and County.
Mr.. Stones appointment was not unex-
pected. 1t was part of the programme
touching the advancement of Madison
Babcock from the position of Deputy Su-
perintendent to the superintendent 8
chair. Mr.. Babcock controlled the appoint
ment independent of the Board of Educa-
ton.
1t is not necessary that the Board of
Education should confirm the appoint
ment. In all other cases where appoint
ments are made by the Superintendent
confirmation by the board is compulsory.
Mr.. Stone was elected member OF the
Board of Education at the last municipal

THE PERCENTAGE OF Poor EYEs.-Only
one person in fifteen has both eyes in good
condition, and in seven cases out of ten
one eye, generally the right, is stronger
than the other. 1t is found that just as
people are right or left handed, so thew are
right or left sighted, and while apparently
looking with both eyes, they often really
use only one. Out of twenty persons whose
eyes were tested by German doctor, two
only were found to be left-sighted. The
reason of the greater strength generally
possessed by the right eye is not altogether
understood, but probably the natural ten
dency to the greater use of the right side of
the body has something to do with it.
In using weapons, for instance, mankind
have been taught to assume for ages atti-
tudes in which the right hand and side
have most exercise, and this discipline
has undoubtedly had its effect on the eye.
Old sea captains, after long use of the tele-
SCOPE, find their right eye much stronger
than the left-the direct effect of exercise.
This law is confirmed by the experience of
aurists. If person who has ears of equal
hearing power has cause to use one ear
more than the other for long period the
ear brought into requisition is found TO be
strengthened and the ear not used loses its
hearing in corresponding degree.

There are many persons anxious to oc-
cupy the seat in the Board of Education
just vacated by Director Stone. Others
were clamoring for Secretary Beanston' S

Charles w. Welsh, whom the late Super

the position of secretary, is the strongest
candidate for the place. The Directors
who supported Babcock for the superin-
tendency are in favor of lis appointment.

Director. No one but the superintendent

last election, is candidate for the vacant
chair. Dr. Deane, who was formerly

Blocks of Milk.

Irkutsk is a city in central Siberia where
people have more occasion for fire and iurs
than for artificial ice cream or thin cloth
ing.
The markets Of Irkutsk are an interest
ing sight In the winter time, for every
thing on sale is frozen solid. Fish are piled
up in stacks like so much cordwood, and
meat likewise. All kinds of fowls are sim
ilarly frozen and piled up.
Some animals brought into the market
whole are propped up on their legs and
have the appearance of being actually alive,
and as you go through the markets you
seem to be surrounded by living pigs,
sheep, oxen and fowls standing up and
watching you as though you were visitor
to the barnyard.
But, stranger still, even the liquids are
frozen solid and sold in blocks. Milk is
frozen into a block in this way, with a
string OR a stick frozen into or projecting
from it. This is for the convenience of che
purchaser who can take his milk by the
string or stick and carry it home, swung
across the shoulder.

in other countries, a man can buy his
