The Dunedin correspondent of the
Melbourne Argus tells the story of a
pluclsy rescue by a Maori girl aged 10.
She was crossing Lake Tanpo in a
canoe with three children, aged two,
three and twelve years. When fully
half mile from shore u squall capsized
the canoe, and the girl and the three
children were soon struggling in the
water. The girl did not lose her head,
but picked up the children one by one
and placed them on the bottom of the
canoe. She then divested herself of her
wet skirts, and, taking a rope attached
to the bow of the canoe in her teeth,
towed the canoe and children safely to
the shore in the face of the flying surf.

BEETLES EYES A LENS.
Reproduce the Head Of Man Hun
dreds Of Times.
Remarkable Experiments Which Settle .
Scientific Dispute-X Ray Proved
to BE No Important Aid
to INSTALLATION.

DR.. G. +. Allen, of Aurora, ILL.,, has ac-
romplished the marvellous feat of tax.
ing a photograph through lens COM
posed of beetle's'eye. Aseparate out
line of the image at which the camera
was directed was seen on every one OF
the hundreds Of facets which are part
and parcel of the eye of the insect SO
familiar to us all.
. This is the first instance where any,
thing of the sort has been accomplished.
Heretofore there has been aIsy quantity
of theory, but a great lack Of practice.
Now it is shown in that most convincing
of forms, a photograph. 1t all came
about through curious statement
made at a meeting of the British
Scientific association, at which Prof.
W. NJ. Stine, of the Armour institute,
called attention to very curious and
interesting lantern slide in his posses
sion. During a discussion of the prop
critics of the Roentgen rays leading
scientist suggested that as certain in
sects had eyes seemingly unadapted TO
see by ordinary sunlight, they might
visualize by means of the X rays.
1t was held by a number Of the
savants in attendance at the association
meeting that the Y ray could hardly be
termed an incentive to visualization. So
warm did the discussion become that il
was finally decided to make genuine
test with the eye Of a chosen insect.
DR.. Allen, Of Aurora, says the Chica-
go Times-Herald, chose the eyes of a
beetle to demonstrate to the satisfac-
tion of every one that the y ray was
no aid to Installation whatever. The
result of his experiment proves con-
clusively that he was right, and that
the eminent gentlemen who favored the
ray theory were as far from the truth
as was Preacher Jasper when he in
sisted the sun do move"
1t is curious study that this photo
graph lays open to the iaymen of
science. The beetle has a curious pro-
jecting eye, very similar to the sort one
sometimes sees in man himself. The
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-02-04

eye is large and round, or almost so.
convex in shape. The accompanying
picture shows really one-half of the eye
of the beetle. Such insects have eyes
called compound, formed not of one
lens, but of several hundred, set side
by side like cells in n honeycomb.
1t is impossible to conceive, from the
picture printed, an absolutely correct
idea of the wonderful clearness with
which the different facets of the beetles
eye cause to be placed upon the plate
he image which they reflect. Although
the image is shown hundred or more
times, in every instance it is clear and
perfect. Very fine and delicate are the
lines, to be sure, and the features are
only distinguishable clearly by the aid
OF a microscope, but nothing is omitted,
and the wonderful handiwork of ma
.ure has never been more clearly shown
than when this eye with artificial slim
ulus carries out the part for which it
was created.
II so happens that in this instance a
silhouette was used instead of the or
dinary photograph. 1t will be observed
that this is exactly what the accom-.
panying illustration shows. Other and
similar experiments, however, have
demonstrated the truth of the state
ment as to the accurate reproduction of
every lineament Of the human face. To
gain an adequate idea of exactly what
photograph through the multiple
facets of a beetles eye accomplishes,
look carefully into the eye of some
person who is close to and looking
steadfastly at you. You will see re-
flected in the eye of the other your own
face, clear and distinct, with not n
vestige of line missing. Now this is
just what happens when the beetle
looks at you, only your eyes are reflect
ed several hundred times.
This is what the photograph taken
by DIR. Allen shows. 1t is one of the
most remarkable combinations of diff
ferent branches Of science that the
world has yet seen.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, February l. 1897.
Although it was considered matter
of doubt, the Republican managers
had hopes that some of the Silver Re-
publican senators might be persuaded to
vote with their old party when the new
tariff bill comes up for action at the
extra session of congress. They no
longer indulge such hopes. They know
that not only will the Silver Republicans
not vote for the tariff bill, but that they
will vote against it if their votes can
defeat it. This has been fully determin-
ed upon since the Republicans resorted
to such extraordinary tactics to defeat
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, as a punish
ment for having followed his convictions
and the wishes of his constituents by
having supported Bryan and silver in
the late campaign.

Starvation in the Cities.

Statements put forth few weeks
ago, says the Pittisburg Post, that there
would be great destitution and suffering
in Chicago this winter, are confirmed by
actual conditions now existing in that
city. Death by exposure and starva-
tion are reported. The number of the
unemployed, even among the skilled
workmen, is unprecedently large.
Bread riots" are spoken of as probable.
The conditions in some parts of the city
are said to be APPALLING. The Chicago
people are liberal and are adopting or
ganzed measures to meet the distress in
the most effective way. There is much
suffering in all nothern cities, intensiii-
ed by the extreme cold weather.
The picture presented in the Post of
the want and prvation in PittSburg is
scarcely credible. The police authori-
ties report many thousands of people in
that part of the city on the verge Of
starvation, 1t is probably an eXag-
gerated statement that 'half the people
of the Southside are starving" as re-
ported by the police inspector of that
district, but still it is to be remembered
that the police have the best opp.rtuni-
ties of learning the facts as they exist.
The applications for relief come from
honest and Woodworking people who
would be the last to ask relief unless
forced to do so by the spur of extreme
necessity. 1t would be well to extend
the scope of our organized charities and
prepare for what may be times Of
extreme need, with many thousands
calling for public aid.
The New York Tribune say that at no
time within the memory of the present
generation has the number Of unem-
ployed been so great in New York as
this winter, and never before has the
strain on public and private charity
been so severe. 1t speaks of broad
cloth destitution," and says that it is
not merely the laboring class who are
suffering, but large numbers of others,
who may be described as professional
men, the clerks, the statesmen, the ar
chitects, and the literary men.
Speaking of the vast amount of sym
pathy devoted to the Sing Sing conVicts,
who have been deprived of the oppor-
tunity of working, and are therefore in
danger of insanity, the 1riJune says:
1t may be questioned whether the first
duty of the people of New York is not
toward those of their more honest and
honorable fellow-citi2ens whose enforced
idleness, due .to their inability to find
employment, is driving them to the
verge of insanity-an insanity caused
not so much by the brooding over their
own unhappy lot as by the spectacle of
their wives and little ones literally starry
ing before their ewes.
