About Teller's Mines.

1t has been frequently charged by the
none too truthful Republican press that
Senator Teller's action during the past
few months and years has been prompted
by q personal consideration growing out
of his ownership Of silver mines. 1t has
also been charged that he was in the en-
ploy of the silver syndicate. A number
of other like charges have been made. AS
an answer to these, Senator Teller, in a
speech last week at his old home at Nor
rison, ILL.,, said:
"Why in the name of heaven should l
come here to talk to you now unless l
have an interest in your welfare and the
welfare of the American people? Some
body-some newspaper-may tell you
that am an agent of the great silver
producing corporations. Some Of you
have been my neighbors, many Of you
knew me more than a generation ago.
You knew me in my youth and in my
early professional life. believe in the
years that l lived in your community 1
established something Of character for
deceney and truth.
II have endeavored in all my life, pub
lie and private, to deserve the commend
alton of my fellow citizens, because l
was honest and truthful, and outspoken
in my opinions concerning public mat
ters; and let me say have no more in
terest in this question than you have.

Bryan on Money.

In a speech to q great crowd at Elk
hart, Ind, September 3, Mr.. Bryan said:
"There are principles which underlie
the money question, principles which
you must understand before you can
enter into q discussion Of the money
question, and the first great principle
is that the value OF a dollar depends on
the number Of dollars. You have to
learn that scarce money means dear

Republican papers are getting lot Of
satisfaction, they think, out Of the alleged
black eye given silver in the Vermont elec-
tion. AS matter of fact, the silver ques-
tion was not an issue, the fight was for
State offices. The Democrat and Repub-
lican conventions both declared for gold.

Building Company in Chicago requires the

to contract for gold rent payments.
The income tax plank in the Democrat
platform is a Godsend to Hanna. With it

court which will result in that law being
sustained.

CHILDRENS EYESIGHT
IMPROVES WITH AGE.
Singular Results of an Exami'
nation of School
Pupils.
The Percentage of Normal Vision
Found to Increase With Years.
Bad System of Light.

The growing use of glasses by people
who are in their prime and should possess
GOOD eves1eht has been the subject OF much
discuss,on Oculists claim that with
nroper care and treatment of such troubles,
giving nature chance to assert heiseIl,
intersections in vision may be remedleo
and overcome, so that the use OF glasses
can be done away with after a time.
1t seems that the School Board OF paltl-
more has not been so short-sighted IN the
matter, but recently assisted coInmlttee
of oculists in the work by having the
schoolteachers cooperate with them'
The results are shown in the following
statement, published in Philadelphia
The eyes of 53,067 pupils were exam
ined by the tests ordinarily used by
ocuIists, and the results are interesting
and suggestive.
Nine thousand and fifty-one pupils were
found to have such defective eyesight as
to make school work unsafe. Fifty-three
ner cent of the children were found not to
be in the enjoyment of normal vision,
but curiously enough the percentage OF
detective eyesight steadily decreased with
the age of the pupils. The percentage OF
normal vision was found TO be as follows
in the different grades: First grade, 30;
second, Al; third, At; fourth, 40; fifth, IS;
sixth, As; seventh, 81, and eighth, So. No
explanation is offered for this improve
ment in eyes1ght with age and the use of
the eyes under school conditions.
Until such explanation is given it might
be argued either that the eyesight OF the
race is deteriorating, being worse in the
children latest born or that there are de-
fects in vision which are remedied either
by nature or art
But at least one definite conclusion was
reached. 1t was found that many black
boards and maps in the schools were not
placed in the proper light and the report
of the oculists recommends yearly ex-
aminatons hereafter of the pupils eye
sight. and that uniform system ofadjust-
able seats and desks be adopted, and
that these be regulated TO the heights of
the children.

THEY CAPTURED A
REAL SEA SERPENT.
Seventeen Feet Long and Weighs
One Hundred and Fifty
Four Pounds.
Smooth Skin, With Spots Like Those
of a Observation-Disclosures
as Tiger.

The sea serpent has at last been taken
alive in his native haunt, or rather from
his native haunt, if this the placid waters
of Puget Sound can be called the haunt
of such an animal, where the majestic
snow-clad Mount Tacoma towering as a
sentinel gives a picture nowhere equaled
on the North American continent.
A porpoise finds his way into the sound
from the Pacific, and occasionally whale
is seen spouting, but the sea serpent was
never thought of until two Tacoma fisher
men, r. Z. MCLEAN and w. J. Kennedy,
while fishing for black bass about two
miles north of the Hunt Hunt River,
which empties into Hoods Canal near this
city, made the catch. They were along
side ledge where the water drops off 100
to $50 feet deep, and were using minnows
for bait, when their attention was
attracted to a commotion in the
net, and the water becoming agi-
tated was followed Immediately by the
head of the monster appearing above the
surface. This struck terror to the already
frightened fishermen, who at once made
for the shore, dragging it after them and
hauling it up on the beach.
The monster was as ferocious IS tiger,
and bit and snapped the gaff stick in
pieces, and when hauled on the beach
rushed back over the sands with the 100
feet. of line and swan out to sea as far as
it could go. The reptile was seventeen
feet long and as big around as mans
body, and has every characteristic of the
snake except the head, which is much
like that of the pugnacious bulldog. The

skin, the eyes are as large as mans and
as bright, and will follow the movements
of a person as closely as the eyes of

the animal ever moving its head. The
general color of the serpent is darkish
blue, with spots much like those of rat
tlesnake, the spots fading out into lighter
blue at the circumference. The skin is
smooth like that of the snake. The mon
ster is filmed much like the halibut hav-

A Suggestion for Inventors.

When electricity was first adopted in
houses an attempt was made to perpet-
uate the old gas brackets, chandeliers, etc.
1t took certain time for the vendors of
such articles to realize that their form
might be altered for the better, as the
heaviness which was needed where tube
was necessary was out of place when a
thin wire replaced the tube.
So it seems to be with motor carriages,
so far as | have seen them. Carriage
makers, or whoever design the new We
hicles, cannot get out of their head the
forms that are suitable for carriages drawn
by horses, and they seem to be under the
impression that it would be almost crime
to deviate from the old models. The man
whose motor carriage will eventually be-
come popular must emancipate his min d
from the tyranny of continuity ndon
