Tho Trail of tho Wheel.

If a bicycle census could be taken in
Cleveland, it would show some aston
ishing results. Probably there isn't a
highway or byway in all the city round
that hasn't its wheel or wheels. Just
for instance, there is a short cross street
in the east end, not far from Wilson
avenue, where the houses number %. In
the 25 homes there are 33 bicycles.
They must have cost on all average at
least $50.
That means "a round total of So, $40.
and an average investment for each fam.
lily of about $l05. OF course this mar
be a highly favored thoroughfare, but
there are other streets, lie doubt, that
run their totals still higher. Really,
you know, there never was such a fad
if fad is the term TO use. Cleveland

New ESQ For the Roentgen Rays.

One of the nearest uses to which the
Roentgen photography has been applied
is the detection of glass splinters and
other foreign bodies il the eye. The diff
tioulty of photographing the eye is very
great, because it is practically inclosed
i'll u bony case and cannot be got at. DR..
H. Lewkowitsch has, however, invented
a continuance which enables this opera
ton to be successfully performed. The
plate is so made hat it can be inserted,
under a~Desthetios, Of course, into the
orbital cavity between the os lachrymale
and the eyeball. and in this way a pho
tograph can be taken which shows the
position Of objects quite beyond the
reach of the ophthalmoscope. In fact,
Helmholtz's wonderful instrument is
useless, except where the foreign body
is located in transparent tissue and is
free from extravasation of blood, condi-
tons which do not apply to the Roent-
gen photograph at alL-Pall Mall Ga
zette.

A POrtrait,s Eyes.

Wollaston's curious discovery was
that by adding to each pair Of eyes q
nose directed to the right or the left the
eyes lose their front direction and look
to the right or left, according to the di-
rection Of the nose. By means Of a flap
representing the lower features in a
different position, as DIR. Wollaston re-
marks, "a lost look of devout abstrac-
tion in an uplifted c~ountenance may be
exchanged for an appearance of inquisi-
tive archness in the leer of a younger
face turned downward and obliquefy
toward the opposite side.'
AS by changing the direction of the
lower features we change the direction
OF the eyes, so by changing our position
the eye of the portrait apparently fol-
lows us. If a vertical line be drawn
through the tip Of the nose and half
way between the eyes, there will be
the same breadth Of head, of cheek, Of
chin and of neck on each side of this
middle line, and each iris will be in the
middle of the whole eye II we now
move to one side, the apparent horizon
tol uionulu VI oNOfy paw oho hoou
and face will be diminished, but the
parts on each side of the middle line
will be diminished equally, and at any
position. however oblique, there will
be the same breadth of face on each side
Of the middle line, and the iris will be
in the center of the whole of the eye
ball. SO that, being on a fat surface,
the iris will be seen in front of the pic
ture or obliquely. Notes and Queries.

Discovery of q Dreadful Plot.

Some excitement has been caused in
church circles by the discovery of q Sc
cret society at Cambridge whose object
is to convert the undergrads to extreme
high church views The society calls
itself the Companions of St. John, and
it is said that the members have to take
an oath not to disclose the fact of mem
bership to any one. One of the religious
papers has ferreted the matter out and
seems to be greatly perturbed at its dis
covery. So far the Companions of St.
John do not appear to have done any
thing dreadful, and if it anuses them
to play at being secret society I do not
see that it matters very much to any
one. If the paper in question had dis
covered popish plot against the crown,
it could hardly have made more fuss
