roof gave way, and with terrific
crash, fully five tons of coal and rock
came down upon the workers.
When the miners in the other veins
rushed to the spot, they found the
chamber blocked with the mass Of de-
bris, and it was only after several
hours work that the bodies of Lam
mond and Markotsky could be eXtri-
Gated. They We're removed to Cusick's
morgue, where Coroner J. j. Roberts

off and returned in about an hour and
a half to take the car out. When he
got into the chamber, he saw there

WE'RE KEPT ON THE MOVE.
The Brennans Had a Lively First
Day in Their New Home.

Yesterday morning the family Of
Martin Brennan moved into Michael
McDonoush's story ry-and-a-half frame
dwelling at 511 Meridian street. In
the afternoon at 4.S0 they moved out
again in as big hurry as they We're
capable of. An hour later they moved
back again, more leisurely.
Fire was responsible for the mov-
ings. The flue was defective, and
when they lighted the stove the build
ing took fire. The fire gained such
a headway before it was discovered
that they hurriedly tossed their be-
longings into the street and had them
all removed when the Eagle company
in response to a still alarm, arrived.
1t required three tanks OF tre poison
TO eNtinguish the blaze. The damage
amounted to about $2l0. The fire being
eNtinsuished, the Brennan's moved In

way into the barber shop. did all sorts
of damage from giving him rheuma-
tism to rusting his razors-accoriins

He sued the city for $1,000 DANA ges
and arbitrators allowed him $685.. Coun-
ellis thought this figure too high and
directed the city solicitor to take an
appeal. CARRIER was tired fighting and
offered to settle for $685.. Councils ap-
proved a resolution accepting the Of
fer and yesterday the mayor also ap-
proved it.
The settlement was effected in the
face of a resolution passed recently

AGING OFF EYE.
A Chicago OcuIists Controverts nm
Old Theory.

New YORK World.
All oculists know that from middle age
on, the pupil Of the eye grows smaller
until In old age 1t is no larger than a pins
head. Heretofore they have tried to ex-
plain this 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 n young
Chicago oculist, DIR. Norburne Jenkins,
who criticses many old theories In regard
to the eyes.
DIR. Jenkins was in New York recently
and was seen by a reporter 81 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 after
the defects are relieved by perfectly fit
ting glasses. In brief, the small pupil
comes from eye strain, and is not present
In perfect eyes As only about one per-
son in a thousand has perfect eyes, the
mistake has easily been made of thinking
the small pupil came from natural loss
of tone rom age but perfectly fitting
glasses show that these defects have ex-
listed from youth and that age only re-
veals them, and also that when these are
relieved the pupil resumes It's youthful
action
at is not age nor loss of tone of the
muscles or nerves that causes the pupils
to be small In adults. 1t is either caused
by astigmatism, unlike eyes or far-sight-
edness.
"Astigmatism IL an eye trouble seldom
understood. The apple of the eye and the
curtain OF the eye are covered in front by
a tough, round and clear saucer-shaped
skin, something like a watch crystal. This

dime, and the white of the eye frames It,
II &c liz perfect II has a shape something
like the big end of an egg. II II is faulty
II Is more like the side of an egg or a
warped saucer, and blurs the images that

I'm about half the people the two eyes
axe not alike in their defects, for astigma-
tism. farsightedness or nearsightedness
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 i'm
perfect.
"In farsightedness the eyeball is too
small or too short; the images come to a
focus behind the retiua, causing eye strain
ana q small pupil. The great work of the
pupn is apt to act in harmony with the
lens and the focusing muscle to focus
perfect images on the outspread nerve
and this smallness OF the pupil that at
tends the advance of age is sign that
the pupil is striving to make up for short.
