A Pond.

Human Eyes Are Often Inhabited by
Large Numbers of Living Creatures.
The water contained in a we'll de-
veloped, well formed eye in which the
sight is not impaired, more especially
where a person is farsighted. presents
many curious phenomena. Looking
through all open window in daylight
upon a hazy atmosphere or upon a fog
such as is seen in any city, or looking
~ the north upon q gray atmosphere,
ore will see. if conditions are as above,
strange disks fitting and jumping about
IL the eye water. It has been my priyi-
lege to watch these organisms for sew
eral years, fitting about in the eye
water, jumping toward each other again
in strife aud combat, in the which the
water would become comparatively
clear Of amnbiform organisms, only to
be again full of micrococci and the COM
bats as above.
The various shapes Of these animal
culn are surprising. Some are attenu-
ated, with fine filaments. Again, others
are like wee bits of fine porcelain, with
little projections, reminding one Of
turtles hopping about. Again, others
present the appearance Of cyclops and
daphne.
How these organisms get into the eye
water is a mystery-perhaps in the
water we drink or foods we eat, either
or both. The fact that the eye water is
inhabited, like all other bodies of water,
is truth that can be proved positively,
beyond p~eradventure, by any oculist
when he may extract a diseased eye
and place the fluid under the glass.
May not the accumulation of these
organisms in the eye water, their rapid
growth and the survival of the fittest
or strongest be the cause Of much blind
ness, wherein may be casts, coagulation
Of the eye water, so called paralysis Of
the optic nerve, cataracts and other
forms of disease?
May not numerous headaches and
other pains be caused by the overac-
emulation or growth Of these minute
organisms, in which they stop the cir
culation Of the active principle of life
in the arterial circulation or the nerv.
ous forces? The same organisms are seen
when looking upon drawing paper

IOWA REPUBLICANS
Thousands From All Parts of the
State in Attendance at
Cedar Rapids.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Aug. 19.-The
Republican state convention began with
perfect weather. All night and all the
forenoon special and regular trains
brought crowds, verifying the predic-
tions that this would be the largest
convention ever held in the state. The
interest was by no means confined to
delegates, every visitor being an active
partisan for one or the other Of the can
didates. The Withdraw Of Speaker
Byers as a gubernatorial candidate,
while %ostensibly in favor Of Flickinger,
really throws strength for Shaw. The
district caucuses confirmed the belief
0selat there is a drift Of sentiment i'll
favor of Shaw. The withdrawal Of
Cownie, the Second district candidate,
strengthens the chances Of Waterman
for supreme judge. Eleven district
caucuses declared overwhelmingly in
favor Of the Temple amendment as a
platform plank.
The huge tent, holding 1000 people,
in which the convention is being held,
was crowded long before the time for
opening. State Chairman Mcmillan
called the convention to order and in.
troduced G. NJ. Hart Of Council Bluffs,
the temporary chairman, who delivered
a brief address.
After the appointment Of the usual
committees, the convention adjourned
until 2 O'Clock,
Upon milling the committee on
permanent organization reported the
following selections: Samuel Mahon,
Ottumwa, chairman; A. B. Proudfoot,
Warren county, secretary; Willard S.
Tookey, Decatur, recording secretary.
The recommendations were adopted.
The speech of the permanent chairman
was cut short by repeated strenuous
calls to proceed with business.
