There are at present several dfstin-
guished Japanese visitors in this coun-
try examining into the methods of our
electrical enterprises. Several of them
have a government commission to
make careful survey of telephony. 1t
is interesting, therefore, to note the an
nouncement that the imperial govern
ment of Japan is preparing estimates of
cost for the surveying, designing and
installation of an extensive telephone
system that will connect every portion
of the Japanese islands with metallic
circuit service. The long distance lines
will aggregate $4,000 miles, and 40 main
offices and 1870 public stations will be
established, capable Of handling $4,000
subscribers. Telephone exchanges are
already in operation in Yokohama, To-
Ao, Osaka and Kobe, and another sys-
tenn is to be opened in Kioto. The sys-
tenn will ernbody both land and sub
marine construction.

correspondent of the London Times
who has been travelling in the Indian
famine districts says that Bijapur is
worse off than any other place in the
Bombay Presidency. The country there
is sterile, and il the best years is alb
solutely dependent on the rainfall,
which is very poor. There are no irri-
cation wells or tanks, and he found no
vestige Of crops anywhere the country
being perfectly bare. He saw no peas
ants working IN the fields, but on the
other hand, the skeletons of cattle pick
ed bare by the vultures were a common
sight. The mortality among the cattle
has been enormous, one-tenth of the
total number having already persisted.
Had the government imported fodder
three months ago, he says, most of
them might have been saved. The
more well-to-do ryots have preserved
& part of their stock, but the poorer
classes have lost their cows and buffa-
loes, the mainstay Of their existence.

Escorted by General w. R. Shafter, o..
S. 4, commanding the Department OF
California Hon. G. D. Meikei john, As
sistant Secretary of War, saw yesterday
every high-power gun in the Notifications
OF San Francisco harbor. The people OF
the city who assem- bIed at tho Preside at
IL A. NJ. did not, however, see the review OF
troops promised for that hour. The
morning showers induced the general to
send out word postponing the parade
until P N. At that later hour the Secre-
tary, i'll whose honor the military pageant
was proposed, Was two miles from the
Presidio parade plain inspecting the dyna-
mite guns. Spectators lingering at the
Presidio for the military matinee were
again disappointed and went home out OF
humor with Uncle Sans people.
Shortly after 10 o. clock yesterday morn
ing q number of officers assem- bled at
army headq quarters, in the Phelan build
ing, to paw respects to the visitors from
Washington.
After the hand shaking General Shaft er
announced that the party would board
the steamer General Mcdowell at Clay
street wharf. This was the first departure
from the original plan. as it had been
given out that the steamer would be
boarded at the Presidio wharf after the re-
view.
In due time the steamer wentaway
with these on board: General Shat
ter, G. D. MeikIeiohn, Assistant
Secretary of War, and his chi ef
clerk, John c. Scofeld: Captain G..
F. Chase, Third United States Cavalry !;
Colonel Charles E Ware and Colonel G.

The Mcdowell sailed down the bay to
the battle ship Oregon. The ship was
hailed and the captain told that the Secre-
tary would not go aboard. The flag was
saluted by the McDowel's whistle, and
the marines on The Oregon presented arms
to the Secretary. No powder was con-
sumed to signaiize the event. The Gov

Eng the department of California, received
a telegram from the Secretary of War,
announcing that the order transferring
the First United States Infantry to Colo
rado and the Seventh Infantry from Fort
Logan to this city has been suspend d.
The suspension is due to some difficulty
in procuring transportation over the
Union Pacific Railroad at a satisfactory
figure. Now, that the road is beyond
Government control, it is proposed by the
managers to charge all that the traffic will
bear.
In speaking of the proposed transfer
yesterday Colonel Evan Miles of the First
SAID that no protest had been made to the
department from his command.
The order of suspension caused almost
as much surprise at the Presidio as the
or gnaI order to move. Everything is
now in the air. No plans to stay and no
plans 10 go can be made.
The fact is already obvious that many
OF the enlisted men of the First will ask
TO remain here and be transferred to the

140 have already been listed. Word comes
from Denver that only twenty men of the
Seventh have applied for permission to
remain there. This signifies the popular

Yes, our offices would certainly have
proven an uncomfortable abode during
the past week for any one who was super
stitious about looking at cross-eyed peo-
Pile. for we have had hundreds of in
quiries as to the new methods we employ
in plishing q cure for this most
deplorable deformity. And we assure you
it is a plea ure to see the relief with which
these unfortunates learn of the simple and
painless way in which they can be forever
relieved of their cross eyes and look the
world square in the face.
There are very few that realize the bur-
den our cross-eyed friends have to bear,
and in the case of the extremely sensitive
it is a positive torture. Many will under
stand this statement better when we make
the assertion that sure remedy for this
ailment has heretofore been unknown.
Cross eyed people have learned from ex-
perience that an operation is seldom suc-
cessful. And rs this has been the only
recourse to the average individual we can
not blame them for not wishing TO put
themselves under the surgeons knife for
the small chance of relief offered in this
line.
OF course, IL is disappointment to
many to be obliged to wear glasses in
order to keep their eyes straight after the
cure has been effected. But we cannot see
why this should be viewed with so much
distaste, as they simply join the ranks of
the spectacle wearing public, with nothing
to indicate that their eyes were ever differ
ent than their friends who wear glasses
for other and much simpler troubles. We
repeat the statement made in last Sun
days CALL that nine out of every ten
persons can be relieved, and in almost
every case have their eyes strengt thened
by the simple means we offer. Our
met DDS are open to reason and we invite
investigation.

Reason.
Science Does for the Unfortunate
What Nature Has Left
Undone.

In this age OF progress, when inventive
genius and the scientific research of great
educators make it po sible for the preser-
walton of special organs OF the body, such
as eyesight and hearing, it is little short
of suicide to neglect the opportunities
presented, even when the slightest defect
is known to exist. 1t is duty we owe to
ourselves and our families to use the
means within our reach to preserve and
build up our physical conditions, in order
that our presence in this world will be
appreciated and of value.
Of all the infirmities that the human
body is subject to none are so distressing
and terrible as the loss of eyesight.
Many, perhaps, have not taken note of
the fact that we have much less blindness
to-day among old people than in former
years. This is due, in part, if not wholly,
to the great strides in science along The
line of properly fitted glasses. 1t has only
been about twenty five years since the
first means of looking into the human eye
were discovered. But at present every
oculist who claims to be foremost in his
profession would not fiji a pair of glasses
without a careful examina ton of the in
see if any rossible arrangement existed,
before fitting glasses.
1t is sometimes argued that if the eye
sight of boy or girl is defeclye in any
wav, so as to re ard or make difficult the
study of books. that they can take some
other position in life, and the better
sighted can take up the lines of life work
that require the use of the eyes.
This Is not only cruel and in
humane decision, but basely ignorant.

SHE WANTED HER MICHAEL
Mrs. Yapolsky of Butte City, Mont, Is
Looking for Lost Hus-
band,

Mrs. M. Yapolsky of Butte City, Mont,
tells story of assertion which has inter-
ested the Eureka Society. She claims
that her husband, who was formerly a
barber in Butte City, deserted her and
three children about six months ago.
From Information given to the police
Mrs. Yapolsky objected to the attention her
usband bestowed upon young ladies who
daily had their hair dressed in his estab-
lishment. The barber became weared
with repeated lectures, and came 10 this
city.
Through the influence of friends Mrs.
Yapolsky raised sufficient money to follow
he- husband. After arriving in this city
she applied to the police for aid in search
ing for her lost husband. Detective An.
thony was detailed on the case and, after
several days search, discovered that va
polsky had gone to the Alaskan gold
fields. After this disappointment th de-
serted wife applied to the Eureka Society

Wonderful Progress.

This little story naturally leads to
the inquiry as to what has been accom-
plished in this line in the present gen.
Grafton. I will venture there has been
more omplished in perfecting arti-
fetal means of sight in the past genera
ton than there has been since the king
produced the first pair of spectacles. Not
alone in tn manufacturing OF glasses, but
in the way they are adapted to different
eyes.
People of means and intelligence of to.
day who find their eyes are failing them
do no. 60 into store as in times gone by
and try on different glasses until they
think they have a pair that improves their
sight, but they go to specialist who
gives his entire time to this one study,
and have their eyes carefully examined
before having glasses made. To be sure,
this means an additional expense to the
price of glasses, and many neglect the ex-
animation and go direct to the manufac-
turing optician and have their eyes fitted
by the simple testing with lenses, as they
do not feel that they can afford to pay SIS
or $40 for an examination, and then pay
for the glasses besides. To such as these
we offer an opportunity which we feel cer-
tain will be appreciated by many of this
city. We are provided with the finest in
struments for this work that can be pro.
cured in Europe. many of which have
never been used here before, and will give
you valuable advice regarding the con-
dition of your eyes without making pro-
fessicnal charge. Rooms 415-16-17, the

| fective eyesight has, in all probabilities,
existed all through the ages. The writer,
although taking more than usual interest
in this line of work, is not authority as to
the origination of spectacles, but because
the following version is quite plausible,
only quotes it as a story that has been
told to him:
There was once king, or ancient ruler,
who although conscious of the fact that
he could not discern distant objects as
other people did, yet knew of no way OF
curing his defect, although he had consult
ed the wlsest men OF the time and tried
numerous experiments; when one day
he happened to be in the shop of one
of his subjects, and quite by chance
he picked up a small piece of crys-
tai or glass, which it seems must
have been, through some accident. broken
or formed in the shape OF concave lens.
for upon placing it to his eye he discov-
tinctly at a distance that ne was wholly
unable to see without the glass. This
little instance so interested him that
he Immediately began an investiga-
tion, and by being able to furnish all the
means necessary for experimenting, and
by the help of the best mechanics OF his
time, he eventually succeeded in procur-
ing pair of lenses, which, although they
must have been very crude at best, were
of countless value to him."
They must have made the world seem
like different place, for how often do we
hear the remark made by our friends and
acquaintances who are subject to what
seems to them a great cross, yet to part
with their glasses would be equal to part
ing with one-half of their happiness.
