inserted the article "an," thus making
the answer 81 words instead of 80
words in length. Several complaints
have. been received, saying that this
should have debarred Mr.. Lytle from
receiving the prize. A recount of the

GO TO THE FRONT UNTIL FALL
Middetown, June 10.--Ihe soldiers
at Camp Tunnel are marched by bat
talions from the camp to Odessa, dis
tance of four miles. The boys enjoy
the march, as it breaks the monotony
OF camp life.
The court-martial and punishment OF
the soldiers who overstayed their fur
loughs have had a good effect on the
regiment, and very few such cases have
since been reported.
II IS thought that the boys will be
assigned to some coast defence until

SAW THROUGH HIS NOSE.
Modern Researches Prove the Truth
of ~ story Which In Centuries Ola.

Modern Researches Prove the Truth
of n story Which Is Centuries Old.
Several authors of the sixteenth CEN
fury mentioned the existence of man
who, having lost his eyesight, could
see through his nose. The story, much
doubted at the time and pronounced
fabulous by physicians, is nevertheless
true if the researches of +. Douliot
prove correct, says the Philadelphia
Record. 1t seems that the victim had
lost his right eye early in life and later
on while climbing cherry tree fell
upon fence, the pickets horribly mu-
tilating the left eye, the cheek and the
nose. The surgeon called in considered
the eye entirely destroyed, sewed up
the wound and it healed in time. form
ing large scar where the eye had been.
year later the man, then considered
stone blind, lay in the grass when he
surprised himself by discovering that
he could perceive through the cavity
of the nose the sky and the color of the
flowers on the meadow around him.
From that time on he practiced for
five or six years to see with his nose,
which to him became practically the
organ of vision. He gradually became
more proficient in seeing in this way
and could see everything beneath him,
while he remained quite insensible to
the light from above.
The condition of this man can be ex.
planned scientifically. Although the
lens of the eye had been torn from its
socket by the fall the optic membrane
and the nerves at the rear of the cav
ity Of the eye had retained some of the
seeing power. When the eye had bealed
together small hole in the bone over
the nose must have formed, which acted

ture. This also proves that the retina
of the eye acts like camera obscura
where the objects from the outside be-
come visible when the rays of light ar

NEW Ell DORADO.
Letter From Baraga's Well
Known Citizen, Carl
Schmeling.

THE SENTINEL this week received
a letter from Carl Schmeling, who
is located at Tovoda, Okanogan
county, Wash. Regarding that
country he says:
The north half of Colville reser-
walton was opened for settlement
for mineral purposes, in 1896, and
today all the best claims have been
staked off by prospectors. Mining
is yet in its infancy, as it takes a
large amount of capital to effect the
development of the country and it's
rich mineral deposits. Experts
from all over the world have been
here within the past month, and
they express themselves as being
highly pleased with the surface
showing. In the past two weeks
assays have been made showing
from 5000 to $1,000 per ton of ore,
which is considered very rich. At
present we are over one hundred
miles from railroad and fifty miles
from the Columbia river. The min
ing camp of Republic is sixteen
miles from here. The town is near
ly year old, and it is considered to
be situated in the richest free-milling
ore locality in the world, ranging
from $3.50 to 5000 per ton in gold. :"
Mr.. Something's many friends
wish him the best of success, and
hope that he may secure fortune.
The SENTINEL trusts that he will
send occasional letters descriptive
of the new country.
