ANNEXATION AND CLIMATE.

changed bv annexation already sees in its minds eye

eral hundred thousand natives prior to their civilization 1t
sees great demand for white labor there and rush of the
unemployed to the and coffee plantations Now the

raised by AngIoSaxon labor? Can it cite locality within
tropics which supports large Saxon popuatlonf
Can it give any why such a population has not
already appeared Hawaii where for fifty years the laws
and policy the Government have invited and where there
has been restriction upon personal liberty than in the
United States and the legal protection of person and property
have been as good as here?
The prophecies of the Chronicle deliberately set lure
part of the plan to induce this country shut its eyes
the dangers that wait upon annexation.
Ango-Saxon institutions be maintained only by Anglo
Saxon people, and state composed of them depend
upon alien servie labor, because abong population is
the fountain head from which spring the genius and the
strength of every such In climates where the Anglo
Saxon exist aborer there from which
to recruit population and maintain th conditions of equality
between labor and its employer upon which free institutions
must depend Where the climate forbds such equality the
relations of capital to labor those of slave and
you have state founded astocacy with labor under
its feet
All this is demonstrated in Hawaii to-day. The Dole
Government is far from being free Anglo state

governed than does the kingdom of Dahomey the rule of

CANNOT ALWAYS BELIEVE YOUR EYES.

The oid adage "seeing is believing" does not
always hold good. Besides the menta pre- ju-
dice hat may give bias to the mental per-
eeption of the image on the retina of the eye,
the physical formation of even q perfectly
norma eye is such as TO discredt in some re-
spects its accuracy as machine when com
pared with the camera. Seeing is so depend
ent on the mechanical conditions under
which 1t is exercised as to render 1t anything
but infallible. Indeed, there are few things
so deceptive as the human vision. Not SO
many pairs of ewes are perfect anyhow, and
even those fall Tar short of Photographic aceu-
racy. Optical illusions are the main depend
ence of the seight-of-hand man and the magi-
clan.
The comparison between the eye and the
camera, as pointed out lately by Dr.. Lindsay
Johnson in the Strand, cannot be carried very
far In fact, the resem blance really ceases when
1t Is said that the retina takes the place of The
sensitive plate. In the case of the camera the
intensity Of the image increas IS with each
moment OF exposure, while with the eye the
the reverse is the case, the retina soon becom-
ing iatigued if an object is regarded intently
for any length OF time, and the image be-
comes more and more indistinct and even dis
torted.
There are many cases of optical delusion,
ana new ones are constantly being discov-
cred. A few OF the best are here illustrated.
