BLIND SPOT IN EVERY EYE
No Human Being Is Gifted with Per-
feet Vision, ScIentIsts
Say

OF the many curious facts which are
discussed concerning the eye, what is
known as ''the blind spot" seems the
least understood, says the Philadelphia
Record. In the eye itself certain things
may go on which give lis wrong sensa-
tons, which, although not truly illu-
sIons. are very much like them. Thus,
when we suddenly strike our heads or
faces against something in the dark,
we see stars" or bright sparks. which
we know are not real lights, though
they are quite as bright and sparkling
as if they were. When we close one
eye and look straight ahead at some
word or letter in the middle of this
page. for example, we seem to see not
only the thing we are looking at, but
everything else Immediately about it,
and for long way on each side. But
the truth is, there is large round spot,
somewhere near the point at which we
are looking, in which we see nothing.
CuriOusly enough, the existence of this
blind spot was not discovered by acct
dent, and nobody ever suspected it I'M
til Mariotte reasoned from the con-
struction of the eyeball that it must
exist and proceeded to find it.

A LONG AND SHORT HAUL CASE.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Finds Against Railroad


sion Finds Against IA Railroad
The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday announced its decision in the
case entitled I'm the Matter of Alleged
Violations Of the Act to Regulate Com
merce by the ST. Louis and San Francisco
Railway Company The opinion is by
Chairman Knapp. The case and decision
are shortly stated as follows
The rates enforced by the st. Louis and
San Francisco on live poultry in carloads
TO Chicago are higher from Marshfield,
Mo, than for the longer distances from
Springfield and other more distant stations
on its line 1t meets the competition of
other roads at Springfield and various juno
tions TO the west Of Springfield, yet no
where west of Springfield does the railway
company or any of its competitors make
the greater charge for d shorter than for
longer distance on this traffic. The rates
on live poultry from Springfield and points
west thereof are not unreasonably low.
This carrier makes as low a rate 10 ST.
Louis from Marshfed as from Springfield.
The circumstances and conditions applying
from the points involved on the traffic in
question are not substantially dissmilar.
The investigation covered freight articles
generally. but the testimony was confined
TO live poultry.
The Commission holds that the greater
charge for the shorter distance from
Marshfield constitutes departure from the
general rule of the fourth section, which
the carrier was bound 10 justify, and that
such higher rate, if found TO be without
sufficient excuse, must also be deemed un
reasonable and undue prejudice in viola
tion of the third section. The st. Louis
and San Francisco Company, engaged with
other carriers in through transportation to
Chicago from numerous points on its road,
including Springfield and MaTshaeld, can
not lawfully call itself merely local car
rier from Marshfield while engaged in
through carriage from Springfield and 9th
er points on its line. and thereby justify
higher rates to Chicago for the shorter dis
tance from Marshfeld than for the longer
distance from Springfield and more distant
points OF shipment The decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the Social
/ Circle case is applied.
The carrier having failed to justify the
higher rate from Marshield than from
Springfield and other more westerly sta
ti0ns for the carriage of live poultry to
Chicago, is acting in violation of the fourth
and third sections Of the act by keeping
such higher rate in force. The carrier
should not insist upon making higher
charges to Chicago from Marshfieid than
from more distant points of shipment upon
other kinds of traffic unless il is prepared
to justify such action by showing an es-
sentially different state of facts than ap-
pears in this proceeding.

Admiral and Mrs. Dewey Converse
With Tammnny's ChieftRin.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Admiral Dewey
and wife. when they left their apartments
on West ThtTty-third Street this morning
and went for walk, found that the Ad-
miral's request that he be allowed in the
streets without public demonstrations had
been respected. Although Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey were out this morning for an
hour and Il half, and were recognized
wherever they went, they we're stopped
only once. and that was when Richard
Croker shook hands with them.
The meeting between Admiral and Mrs
Dewey and the Tammany chi2ftan occurred
at the corner of Fifty-eighth Street and
Fifth Avenue. The Admiral and his wife
were walking north on the west side OF the
avenue when Mr.. Croker was driving south
in a runabout.
The Admiral saw Mr.. Croker before the
latter saw him, and lifted his silk hat. An
instant later Mr.. Croker caught sight of the
Deweys, and removed his brown derby with
a sweep. Instantly he wheeled his horse,
crossed the avenue, and drew up beside the
west curb Admiral and Mrs Dewey ad-
vanced TO the curb and the Admiral intro
duced Mr.. Croker 10 Mrs. Dewey who shook
the Tammany chieftan's hand without per-
mitting him TO leave his wagon.
Then the Admiral graspsd Mr. Croker s
hand. After word or two Admiral Dewey
and Mrs Dewey passed on, and Mr.. Croker
wheeled his horse about and the smile that
he wore as he drove down the avenue was
a JOY to all beholders.
