What is the duration of a winkl
The time occupied by the several
phases of the movement has been
measured. and it is found that the
mean duration of the descent of the lid
is from seventy-five to ninety-one
thousandths of second. The interval
while the eye is shut was in one case
only fifteen-hundredths of second.
The rising of the lid occupied seven
teen-hundredths of second. A spe-
cially arranged Photographic appar-
atus was used. The colloquial phrase
that something is done quicker than
n wink" is therefore expressive to a
degree that may be stated in fractions

The iron-handed suppression of the
bread riots in Milan, just two years

others convicted of participation in
them, has borne its inevitable fruit in
the increased return of Socialists to
the Italian chamber at the recent cleo
tons. The Socialist party has in
creased from seventy to ninety. and
in chamber of sos members ninety

Life was all roses and sunshine on the
surface, though the day of humiliation
was near at hand. The Franco-German
war broke out. Marshal BaZaine, now
about sixty years old, was In command
of the Third army corps. On Aug. 3,
1870, he took command of the army of the
Rhine, though he afterward claimed that
he did so reluctantly, and only at the
command of the emperor Finally came
the fateful October day when Marshal
Bazaine surrendered his great army to
the Germans his entire command Of 49,
600 men marching out Of Metz, leaving
their arms, and, it was afterward said
their honor behind them. All manner of
charges were made against Bazaine. 1t
developed that he had held communica-
ton with Bismarck, and, innocent or
guilty, that was declared to be proof Of
his treachery. In 1873 ne was tried by
court martial, convicted and condemned
to death and military depreciation These
Were the days when Nine. Bazaine, still
young woman, suffered all that a
woman may suffer But she still retained
absolute confidence in her husband, and
did her best to comfort and support him
during the trial. The judges who had
condemned also recommended clemency,
and President MacMahon committed the
sentence to twenty years seclusion in the
Fort Saint Marguerite, near Cannes.

soldier was locked up In the dungeon
while his wife with her two children re-
manned outside in disgrace. Believing her
husband guiltless she determined to com
pass his escape, and she was not without
friends to aid her in the task First Nine
Bazatne gained permission to visit her
husband. She carried with her under her
clothes a long rope. This she delivered ia
the marshal. One window of his cell
looked down upon the sea, and through
this window six months after his incar-
ceration, he finally made his escape. The
wife waited in a boat below. They went
to Italy and from there to Cologne,
thence to England Later they made
their home in Spain, where In 1898 the
marshal died. After his death Nine Ba-
zaine returned to Mexico, where she lived
in comparative retirement At the time Of
her death she was still only middle-aged.
Her life was not long, but it was truly
eventful.

Times states that Nine Bazaine was
among the most brilliant figures at two
great courts In two great continents
Each time she saw the throne about
which the court was gathered swept
away, and each time the fortunes of her
self and her husband went down in the
ruins. Once they were raised again to
even grander heights Of power and in
fuence, but the second time the wreck
was complete, absolute, final. Instead of
being first among the counselors of an
emperor, her husband, Marshal Bazaine
became a convicted criminal, condemned
to death, but finally reprieved and sent to
spend the remainder of his life In a cas-
tie dungeon. From this living death he
was rescued by the ingenuity and courage
of his wife, who fed with him into exile
and was his faithful helpmate until death
came to end his ruined career. In 1866
the Austrian Arehduke Macmillan was
seated on the throne of Mexico His court
was almost as splendid as those Of the
