A GALLANT SHOW AT CHESS.
Game Played in Bohemia With POmp
and Pageant of Actual Life.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
A mammoth game of chess 1t was that
| was recently played during the Sklavo-
Bohemian chronological exhibition, in
Prague Bohemia. The object of the game
was TO checkmate the black king, who was
dressed to represent Matthias Corvinus, an
old Hungarian monarch, by means of the
white, who represented King George of
Podjebrad. The Individual chessmen We're
replaced by groups, which made the scene
more effective. The huge chess board,
measuring about 40 feet square, was laid
out in a great amphtneater, the black and
the white squares marked out exactly as
the game requires. In place of pawns, there
were foot soldiers in historically correct
costumes. Indeed, the coStuming was
quite an item. and the kings and the
queens even wore historical masks. TO en-
phasize the roles they played. The knights,
and the pages who led their horses were
particularly remarkable for the gorgeous
ness of their apparel. Embattled war
chariots. adorned with banners of the hos
tile kings took the place of the pawns,
while the bishops, mounted on fine horses,
were attended by a body guard of per-
fectly equipped archers.
In procession the figures paraded through
the exhibition grounds and at 4:3o o'clock
in the afternoon the game began, the fact
being announced by a flourish of trumpets.
Just before the battle. the Bohemian
used to be the customs in olden days and
in grimmer war.
AS the last strains died away. the Hun
garians (black) advanced their lines, while
George of Podjebrad twhite) watchfully
directed his forces. Whenever the two
groups met, a mighty strife arose. At the
sixteenth move the position of the oppo-
nents was changed, and, amid great eX-
element, there was represented the eX
act counterpart of the battle of Wilemov.
During the contest appropriate music, spe-
cially composed for the occasion, was rem
dered.
The Hungarian King at length found
himself in a tight place and, at the twenty
fifth move things began to look all wrong
for the black. Affairs went from bad to
worse, and, at the thirty-Second move,
black was beaten. Amid the shouts of the
thousands of specta tors, Matthias advanced
to the victorious white king and surren-
dered his sword in token of defeat. while
the old battle song of victory was raised
by King Georges followers.
This remarkable spectacle was received
with SO much delight by all who saw it
that it was repeated. The idea originated
with Franz Moncka, the secretary of the
Bohemian Chess Club, who also took entire
charge of the arrangements. The game
was arranged by the famous chessmater,
DIR. Johann DobmSky.

WE HAVE THREE EYES,
Science Declares That Man md Other
Animals Have n Third ODtic

Science Declares That Man md Other
Animals Have n Third Optic.
From Popular Science Monthly
Recent researches prove that man and all
vertebrates seem to possess the rudiments
of third eye.
In examining closely the skulls of GER
tain lizards, it was found that near the
top of the head, under the dark, opaque
skin, and often in the very bone an almost
perfect eye exists, although no ray of light
could ever reach it. This eye shows crys-
tatline lens a retina of very complex
structure and an optic nerve; in fact all
the essential parts of a perfect eye. But
being covered by the Opaque skin of the
animal, 1t is absolutely useless. If this
optic nerve is traced to the brain, it is
found to connect the eye with the so-called
pineal gland of the brain. This pineal
gland is of course, in no sense of 4 word a
real gland, but definite portion of the
nervous tissue of the brain, Invariably To-
Gated just back and partly over the cer-
eorum, and in front of the rounded brain
mass which generally is considered TO cor
respond to the corpora quadrigemina in
man.
This third eye of the spotted lizard is
called the pincal eye, on account of the
nerve connection of the retina with the
pineal gland Now. while in certain liz
ards this highly developed eye is useless
IL,
in others even deeply bedded in bone it
would seem probable that in an earlier
stage of development this pineal eye was
not rudimentary, but in constant use A
very slight modification would accomplish
TINS, namely, the transparency of the skin
covering the eye. This IS exactly the con-
dltion of the normal eyes in reptiles to-
day; the skin covers them hut il is trans
parent where il passes over the eye In
the skulls of some OF the gigantic reptiles
OF the earlier age of this globe, paleon-
biologists have long ago found a large
round perforation. Probably this was the
socket of the third or pineaI eye of the
ichthyosaurus, the plesiosaurus and the
labyrinthodon.
But much more important conclusion
must be drawn from this discovery: name
ly, that In all vertebrates, even including
man, the traces of the third eve remain
To-Day. The pineal eye of the lizards being
connected with the large pineal gland of
the same ii would seem that the pineal
gland itself is but the nerve center or op-
Tic thalmus for this third eye. In all rep
tiles and amphiba the pineal gland ia
large; so II is also in fishes. In higher ami
mails the cerebrum develops very much.
ovsrgrowing the more posterior portions
of the brain. By this preponderance of the
nerve mass the pineal gland becomes COW
cred by the cerebrum, and assumes more
and more rudimentary forms. But it re-
mains with obstinate pertinacy. 1t is even
always present in man-although here only
of the size of pea and rudely resembling
pine cone in shape. 1t seems also degen-
Grated in structure, having hardly any
nervous tissue. These facts of form and
structure have given rise to its name, that
CT pineal gland.

As a Campaign Document.

Says the Democratic .ldgocate: The
Baltimore SIN is being circulated gra.
tuitousIy in Carroll as Republican
campaign document. Those Demo
Gratis who have been following the
Sun as a Democratic paper should
make note of il. The paper has al.
ways claimed to be independent, not
Democratic, and its chief efforts fol
some years have been decidedly
against the Democratic party.
-Four years ago, in the campaign OF
1891, all it did was favorable to Repub.
lican success. 1t feared a reassessment
law would be passed.
1t is more opposed to democratic sue.
cess now than in 1891, because so sure
as the Democratic party wins in Nov
ember, so sure there will be a reassess-
ment. The Sun, therefore, hopes for a
Republican victory, ana Lloyd Lown-
DIES would be an ideal candidate for it.

A Great Revival of Prosperity

The hard times are over. Every in
dlcat!on points to improved and inn
proving business throughout the coun-
try, to increased employment, to bet
ter wages, to larger sales and to restored
confidence abroad in American securi-
ties. This last is only another way of
saying that our currency, our finance
and our business methods are again re-
garded by foreign investors with favor
and confidence.
Here are few illustrative facts:
The Pennsylvania Railroad last week
sold in London $5,0OO,OOO of 81 per
cent. bonds at l03!. This was the mos
advantageous sale of American rail
road securities that was ever made in
London.
Railroad earnings as reported for
the last half year show gain of SD
2oO, 1000, where substantially the same
roads lost S74 800, 900 last year About
ioo,o0o miles of railroad reporting for
June gained SO per cent. during that
month, against gains of 6.3S per cent.
III May and 4.65 per cent. in April
Inc Iron 4ge reports that the capac-
lty of furnaces in blast will show an in
crease of about 1900 tons for June,
and larger total product than has
oeen Known in any month since May,
1913. The Western furnaces have all
their product sold for nine months i'm
advance.
Increases of wages are everywhere
reported, particularly in the iron and
steel trades, which are always the most
accurate barometers of the general con-
dltlon OF business in the country.
ihere Is special activity in the demand
for structural iron and steel. which
means the coming of particularly good
tlmes to men employed in the build
ing trades.
Inc bank clearings, another trust.
worthy index of business, showed last
week an increase of 24.7 per cent OF
nearly one-quarter. The trade i'm shoes
ana some other commodities, including
Woollen stufls, was greater last week
than ever before in history. This
means an increase in the general pros
perity and purchasing power of the
people.
The crop outlook is most encourage
ing. Winter wheat shows a falling
OIL, but larger production of spring
wheat promises to make the loss rood
Corn, which is by all odds our most
important grain crop, gives promise of
the heaviest yield ever known. The
crop is estimated at quite twice that of
last year and the time of uncertainty
regarding the yield is now nearly past.

A Sensible Suggestion.

Col. John NJ. Wilson, of the engineer
corps in charge of the White House

port recommends that an appropriation
of S250,000 be made for the erection

ton. "Ihis structure, "he says, could
be connected by a wide corridor with
a large conservatory fitted up as IA win
ter garden, with tropical plants, foun-
talns and statues of eminent Ameri-
cans. The conservatory would open
into picture gallery, connected bv
two wide corridors with the East
Room, and these improvements would
serve double purpose by relieving the
mansion Of the terrible crush incident

Undeniable Facts.

The way for the Democracy of Car
roll to harmonize is to harmonize.
Don't say you want united party
and success at the polls and keep up
antagonism by harsh criticisms.
Don't claim to be sound Democrat
and a party man, and then act as
though you desired Republican sue
cess.
1t will require united party to win.
Every Democrat IN the county knows
this, and every Democrat who keeps
up faction by criticisms of other Demo-

election of the county ticket.
These are undeniable facts, and
every Democrat in the county knows
