THE AGING OF THE EYE.

All oculists know that, from middle
age on, the pupil of the eye grows
smaller, until in old age it is no larger
than a pins head. Heretofore they
have tried to explain by saying that
the muscles and nerves controlling the
pupils become stiff. or weak. sooner
than do the other muscles or nerves of
the body.
This theory is controverted by a
young Chicago oculist, DR.. Norburne
Jenkins. who criticises many old the
cries in regard to the eyes.
DR.. Jenkins was in New York recent
ly, and was seen by a reporter. Il
find" said he, that advancing age
only brings into action certain defects
of the eye, and these defects alone are
the causes of the small pupil whether
in age or in youth; and the greater the
defect the earlier the pupil gets small
This is proved, because the pupil re-
sumes its normal size and activity aft
er the defects are relieved by perfectly
hitting glasses. In brief, the small
pupil comes from eye strain, and is not
present in perfect eyes. AS only about
one person in a thousand has perfect
eyes, the mistake has easily been made
by thinking the small pupil came from
a natural loss of tone from age, but
perfectly fitting glasses show that
these defects have existed from youth,
and that age only reveals them, and
also that when these are relieved, the
pupil resumes its youthful action
1T is not age, nor loss of tone of the
muscles or nerves that causes the
pupils to be small in adults. 1t Is
either caued by astigmatism, unlike
eyes or far-sightedness.
"Astigmatism is an eye trouble sell
dom understood. The apple of the eve
and the curtain of the eye are covered
in front by a tough, round and clear,
saucer-shaped skin, something like
watch-crystal. This is about as wide
and thick as a silver half-dime, and the
white of the eye frames it, If it is per-
feet it has a shape something like the
big end of an egg, or wrapped saucer,
and blurs the images that pass through
| it.
In about half the people the two
eyes are not alike in their defects; for
Iastigmatism, farsightedness or near
lsightedness are apt to be worse in one
eye than in the other. One eye may
be perfect and the other not quite so
good, or even very imperfect.
In farsightedness the eyeball is too
small or too short; the images come
to focus behind the retina, causing
eye strain and a small pupil. The great
work of the pupil is to act in harmony
with the lens and the focusing muscle
to focus perfect images on the out
spread nerve, and this smallness of the
pupil that attends the advance of age
is sign that the pupil is striving to
make up for shortcomings ia other
parts of the eye.
This discovery will prove of i'm
portance to spectacle wearers for it
will enable them to tell by the size of
their pupils whether their glasses fit,
q matter largely of guess-work hereto
fore"

no other purpose than to persuade him
to drop the money question as an issue
were many prominent fusion Ne
braskans. Chairman Hall of the state
central committee was one of these.
Bryan refused to listen to them, as he
did to the others, and that started the
resentment against him that developed
later in the campaign.
Would Not Stop Talking.
Later number of democratic man
ayers were just as unsuccessful in an
attempt to dissuade Bryan from making
his eastern tour of the country. They
advised him to speak but four or five
times during the campaign, and to de-
liver then as carefully prepared addresses
as that which he delivered at Indian
apolis.
But Bryan would make the stumping
trip. Some of these advisers are now
saying: II told you so," and point out
some of Bryan's utterances which have
been generally regarded as having been
decidedly injurious to his cause.
This criticism is in decided contrast to
the feeling among fusionists four years
ago. Bryan emerged from the battle of
1896 somewhat dilapidated idol, but
still an idol as far as this state was con-
cerned. Today the managers of his
parties in this state are blaming Bryan
himself for his overwhelming defeat

been Misunderstanding, through
which he had severely criticised j. Ster.

"a telegram from Nebraska City,

would publish letter of Mr.. Bryan,

"Within few days the letter was

that Mr.. Morton had published mutt

WOULD NOT HEAR ADVICE.

A certain we'll known member of the
democratic state central committee of
Nebraska duplicates the charge that
was first sprung by members of the
national committee that the knife of
treachery was thrust into William Jen-
nings Bryan in this state and was twist
ed around several times.
This charge is not surprising, in view
of the fact that Bryan ran several thous-
and votes behind Poynter, and also ran
behind pretty nearly everybody else on
the whole gamut of the fusion ticket
from governor to assessor. But it pos
sesses increased interest from the fact
that the individual managers in this
state viewed this treachery with
equanimity.
Would Run Campaign Himself.
This feeling toward Bryan on the part
of some of the fusion management dates
back to the Kansas City convention and
has grown because of the stubborn in.

A CORRECTION.

A friend of Mr.. Morton calls the at
tention of the News to the fact, as he
states it, that the Bryan letters recently
printed in various newspapers were not
letters written by Mr.. Bryan to Mr..
Morton, but were letters to various pop
ulists and others. In commenting upon
the matter the News took occasion, act
ing on the belief that Mr.. Morton had
given them out, to animadvert upon the
man whose political rancor would allow
him to violate the seal of confidence
placed on all correspondence between
gentlemen. The fact that the letters
were printed in Chicago newspapers as
coming from Nebraska City led the
News into the error of believing they
were given out by Mr.. Morton, espe-
cially as he had previously given out
one letter from Mr.. Bryan to himself.
His friend says they were not, and that
they had previously been printed in
state papers, having been secured by a
special correspondent who had been
digging around the state.-Lincoln

very practical and a business method
of deciding the question of supply of
armor plates for our war ships. II
says:
This discussion as TO the price to
be paid for armOr plate Is becoming
nuisance and scandal. There
should be no doubt as to the net cost
of the production of armor plate. a
committee of either house or congress,
if composed of the right sort of men
men of unimpeachable integrity-could
obtain reliable information on this
subject by which the actual cost of
producing armOr could be arrived at
within Il fraction of a dollar per ton
With this information at hand. the
duty of congress would be perfectly
clear If the manufacturers of armOI
plate should then refuse to supply the
government at such prices as would
afford them only Il fair profit. it would
become the plain duty of congress
to provide for the erection of gov
eminent plant for the manufacture OF
armor The matter seems to be a
simple business proposition. and there
is no apparent reason for haggline
over it any longer"
