The Optic Nerve.
The subject of eyesight is a wide one, and
involves the sciences of anatomy, physiology
and optics. 1t has enlisted earnest and dis
tinguished workers from all the sciences and
has accumulated literature of its own which
an ordinary lifetime is hardly long enough to
master.
The optic nerve passes from the eye to the
brain. As each kind of nerve responds to
special sensation and has no concern with any
other, the optic nerve can convey no other
impression than that of light, and can no more
conduct a sensation of pain than nerve of
ordinary sensation can see; hence, when irli.
tated by galvanism, it responds by flash of
light When the retina is irritated by the
conclusion of violent blow, the flashes of
light that result have given rise to the ex-
preston Of "seeing stars" Disease of the
retina or optic nerve frequently destroys sight
entirely without exciting the slightest pain.
An intelligent person can readily see the
necessity Of consulting an expert Optician in
order to have proper correction Of any WIS.,
ual defect. Every optician in our office has
had years Of experience and are thoroughly
competent. We have full liue OF CIV 4

Many people, even in our more enlight-

Common Sunlight

that absOrbs and does not reflect any of
them is called black. Black is not color,
but is really an absence of any color what
ever, while white is a combination of the
seven original solar colors A child is five
years old before it can recognize any of
these colors One person in every seven
is color blind; SO out of every 100 have de.

Window Glass Spectacles.

If we had our choice between giving up
everything We have in this world and losing
our eyesight, I'm sure we'd give everything
else and keep our eyes. Trouble is we
never think Of these things until we are
brought face to face with them. We all
know of people who make practice of
buying "window.glass' spectacles because
they think its economy, not knowing that
they are doing their eyes great injury IN.

Don't "Guy."

Many people have saved their vision by
using glasses; but for them their lives would
be valueless. Nearly all younger people
who wear glasses are deformed, not out

ever, the agreement reached between
Captain Sigsbee and General Blaneo was
that the American commander Is 10 De

divers sent here by the American news
papers, in his official investigation. Cap
tain Sigsbee and the commander or the
Fern, accompanied by General Lee, Wis
tied the captain general this morning,
and had a conference, at which 1t was
decided that the American press divers
should not be allowed to go inside the
wreck, though any diver appointed by
Captain Sigsbee is to have full liberty
of. movement. The government has
wired to Washington, requesting per-
mission for Spanish official divers to ex-
anime the wreck outside and inside. The
tug G. w. Childs has arrived. An in
cident of the day has been the presence
of vultures wheeling in the air above
the wreck.

where officers of the Maine deem 1t

Seattle Wash. Feb. 1S.-The govern
ment pack train. which left here on the
ship Lucille to join the main body of
the. Alaskan relief expedition at Dyea, is
having all kinds of trouble. The Lucille
is now at Departure bay b. c., and can
get no further for lack of a tug. The tug
Monarch towed the Lucille from this city
TO Departure bay, but she would go no
further as the pilot was not familiar
with the northern waters.
It was the expectation when the Iu-
ellie left here that the tug Sea Lion WSs
10 tow her from Departure bay to Dyea.
The Sea Lion is, it is claimed out Of re-
pair and cannot carry out the original
plan. The matter has been placed in the
hands of United States Attorney Gay,
with the view of compelling the owners
of the Lucille to carry out fheir contract
with the government.
The long confinement which the animls
would be forced to undergo by an ord.-
nary voyage is heightened by this unex-
pected delay. and meanwhile the season
is advancing and the possibility of talk
ing relief into Dawson is growing less.

BIG RATE WAR STARTED
Canadian Pacific Explodes a
Bomb Among Competitors.
A WHOLESALE REDUCTION
Transcontinental Rates Have Been Cut
Almost in Two-The Great Northern
and Northern Pacific Meet
the Reduction.

Chicago. Feb. 1S.-The Canadian Pa
cific road to-day exploded a bomb
among it's American competitors by an
nouncing wholesale reduction of
rates These cuts affect business in
two directions. In the first place, the
rates from all New England points to
Minneapolis and St. Paul are slaugh-
tered. and again New England points
and points in the state of New York
have had a blanket rate applied so Far
as all business to north Pacific coast
points is concerned.
These transcontinental rates have
been cut almost in two The present
rates from the Atlantic seaboard TO the
north Pacific coast are SIs.35 first-cass
and s67. 40 second-class Tomorrow the
Canadian Pacific will make these rates
from all points in New England $40
first class and $50 second-class. Rates
to st. Paul will be cut from $3.50 hrst-
class and $3.50 second-class TO $50 first
class and $40 seeond-class.
ON learning the Canadian Paclf1c's $ IN
tentfon in the matter the Grand Trunk
road at once invited the Chicago roads
To join IL in meeting these rates via
Chicago. They have been importuning
the Grand Trunk for months TO join
them in meeting Canadian Pacific
rates, little thinking that as soon as
such an agreement was effected the
Canadian Pacific at one slash would
work such havoc with their revenues.
II they agree 70 the Grand Trunks 8 re-
quest IL will mean the immediate re-
duction of the rates from Chicago to
north Pacific coast points from SCI 80
first class and $51.50 second-class TO $40
first class and $50 second-class.
Doubtless the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern roaGs Will be as
anxious as the Grand Trunk that the
Chicago roads should join in meeting
the rates. Their refusal would simply
mean that they haa gone out of the
business for the time being. and that
would mean that the two roads named
running west from st. Paul would get
little or none of the business. because
they would have no eastern connee-
tions to take it to Them and the ca
madam Pacific is not likely to give
them any.
A meeting of interested lines has
been called for tomorrow to decide on
some definite course of action, but II
may have to be adjourned to the be-
ginning of the week on account OF the
absence of many OF the general pass
enger agents in the East. AT meet
ing held here to-day ii was decided to
ask the trunk lines to assist in fighting
the Canadian Pacific.
