Eyesi.ht at Birth.

At birth 10 infant can see. Pro-
fessor Preyer, who has carefully
worked On a single subject Ga boy Of
lis own), considers that although
sensibility to light exists from the
moment Of birth, yet this sensibility
is more alive to tho sense OF feeling
than to that of sight. The infant
from the first closed its eyes when *
posed to a strong light. With regard
to actual sight, as denoted by the fix
ing of the eyes on objects, Preyer
says that up to the tenth day he
noticed no movements Indicating that
the child fixed its eyes on an object.
He seemed only to look at objects be-
fore him up to that time. Other
authorities assent that in this latter
respect infants differ greatly. This
much, however, is clear, that it
usually requires between two and
three weeks for the sense of sight to
come into full operation.

Negro Children,

At birth a negro child is of a red
dish nu%t.brown color, which turns to
o slaty gray in the first week Of
the child's existence. The black color
is not fully developed for a period
varying from TWO to three years, ac-
cording to tho nature Of the locality
and the influence of the climate. OAR
win says that tho children of Austral-
lans, Immediately after birth, are
yellowish brown, and become darker
at a later age. Tho-eo of the Guaranys
Of Paraguay arc wEitish yellow. but
they acquire in the course of a few
weeks the yellcwish-brown tint OF their
parents. 1t is curious to notice that
the eyes OF q negro child are blue at
birth, his hairof dark chestnut color,
being only curled at the ends.

a LONG CHANGE.
But b Gold Itece Came Back co tho
Kightful Owner.

Kightful Owner
The Chicago Record offers this story
and vouches for its absolute truth. The
people concerned in tho story have
told it to their friends and have offered
to back itnp with afiidavits, so there
is no good reason for having n
doubts.
A ma boarded a street car to 90 to
his homo on the South Side. He had
in his pocket two fye-dollar gold
pieces and several nichels. In paving
his fare he was guided by the n 81
touch, rather than that of sight, and
SO he gave a %tivc-dollar gold piece in
stead of q nickel to the conductor.
He did not learn of the mistake until
ne had reached his home. Then he
vent to the car barns to find the con-
ductor to whom he had given the gold
piece, but he did not remember the
number OF the car. Neither could he
exactly remember the appearance Of
the conductor.
On the following day his wife went
shopping with q woman who lived in
the same nei%ghborhoCd. They made
some purchases at q department store
and the neighbor in making payment
handed the salesman q SIS gold piece.
"Oh. those dreadful gold pieces
remarked the wife of the man who
had been unfortunate.
.Don't say that" said the neigh
Dor; smy husband received this in
change last evening on a street car.
Ee gave the conductor a quarter and
received, as he supposed, four nickles
an change After he came home he
discovered that one nickel was this
gold piece"
"lsn't that remarkable Ny hus-
band paid one by mistake to a con-
ductor last evening""

your husbands gold piece?"

But it was possible just the same.
The two husbands came together and
compared notes.

one.

allow q train to pass"
That's right. The conductor was
a small man with red whiskers.o
"Sure enough. | remember now. I
was on the back PLATFORM
Il was in 'front.'"
There seemed to be no possible
doubt that they had come home on
the same car. the conductor had taken
the coin for a nickel and given it out
for @ nickel. and that the coin re-
ceived by the second mar belonged to
the first. The money was returned to
its rightful owner. Wouldn't it be q
problem in mathematics to calculate
the chances OF such a thing happening
again?
