FLIES HAVE EYES TO BLIND.

Four Thousand in q Bunch ON Each
Side of the Head.
Whoever thinks the male the supe-
rior animal finds no rest for the sole
Of his foot In the contemplation Of what

ceit, call 'the lower animals" In our
general ignorance Of the housefy we

account the male Is, but we may rea-
sonably infer that he is as markedly
deficient as usual. seeing that bis eyes
are SO close together that they touch
each other. That's always a bad sign.
II you see anybody with eyes close to-
gether you are entitled to think little
Of his intelligence.
The fly has two sorts Of eyes, the big
compound one. 1000 In a bunch on
each side Of the head, for knocking
about in daylight, and there are simple
eyes on the top Of the head for use In
q poor light. sewing and fine print. Be-
fore going into ecstasies Of admiration
over the creature that has 1000 eyes on
each side Of its head Il might be well
to remember that they are not Of much
account. In case of old flies kept over
winter the compound eyes cave in and
get broken. yet the fly seems to get
along and find food. One kind gentle
man vanished over the simple eyes
and plucked OF the wings Of some
flies. He found that he might hold a
candle close enough to burn the COM
pound eyes Of the fly before It had a
suspicion that anything out Of the COM
mon was going on. In daylight he took
a knitting needle and brought II. up In
front of the ay close enough to touch
his antennae before II lodged II the

A New Treatment.

Another mode of treating the drink
habit is said to be in successful opera
tion in Paris where three physicians
Drs. Rapelier, Thebanet and Broca-
announce that they have discovered a
new serum. Of 81 cases treated, 80
were cured and Is were improved, only
10 failing to show improvement. The
serum is obtained from horses that
have been dosed with alcohol until
their systems are drenched with the
poison. When administered to pa.
tients the serum revives natural repug.
nance to alcohol, which continued use
has broken down.

ANCIENT INDIAN ARSENAL

swned in Connecticut probably the dn-

Herbert Sothmayd, who lives In thu

quartz, red and yellow Jasper, lime

used In the manufacture of 5000 ar

interesting specimens to the ordinary

three scalping knives. A string OF

is absolutely perfect. A bone Orna'

holes for the leather thongs in their

skill and patience, as they had nothing
but stones with which they tapered

Fellow Student Of the Chinese Emperor

Leung Kai Tin. fellow-student OF
Emperor Kwang Hsu Of China. il In

peror 10 rare privilege. denied the
great majority Of the almond-eyed- The
fortunate Celestial who rubs elbows
with his majesty IL singularly honored
by his countrymen. But he who breaks
through tie sacred inner circle and
lives in dsily communication with the
Emperor Of China Is almost divinity

Such q dignitary is Leung Kali Tin.
who owes the proud privilege OF his
personal communication with the En-
peror kwang Hsu to the fact that he
is pupil Of Kang Yu Wei. greatest OF
Chinese scholars and reformers. 1t was
Kang Yu Wei who first started the re-
form bee buzzing In the royal bonnet.
The young Emperor finally lent list
ening ear to the teachings Of Kang Yu
Wei He became pupil of that great
teacher. This naturally made the EN-
peror eager to meet the most brilliant
scholars Of Kang Yu Wei. Among the
young men brought into the royal pres
ence were Leung Chi Tso and Leung
Kai Tin. Leung Kai Tin was the young
er brother. but equally clever for his
years, and an ardent reformer.
When jealousy made it imperative
that the young Emperor have less fire.
quent counsels with Kang Yu Wei 1t
was decided to confine their intercourse
to letters and to have these missives
carried to and fro by some trusted
friend of reform. Leung Kai Tin was
one Of those who bravely offered his
services for this delicate and danger
GUS task.
When the Emperor saw that his re-
formers had endangered his own safe
ty and that of his advisers, and that
matters were nearing crisis. he sent
a secret messag &c to Kwang Yu Wei. In
forming him Of the peril that was
threatening all reformers. He babe
them fly at once.
Six Of the most promising advocates
Of reform were butchered at the insti-
CATION of the Empress Dowager before
they could make their escape. but Kang
Yu Wei. Leung Kai Tin. Leung Chi
Tso. and several others managed to es-
cape.
Leung Kali Tin came to the Pacific
coast to carry the doctrine of reform
to every city and village where his
brother Chinese congregate. In San
Francisco there are an especially large
number Of progressive Chinese. who
believe that the light Of modern civili-
zation should penetrate the gloom Of
China. Their battle cry is: "Give back
the throne to the young Emperor
Kwang Hsu." They would have the
Empress Dowager Invested of every
vestige Of power.
Leung Kai Tin. though still In his
twenties. is man Of marvellous ability.
He is scholar, not only learned In the
musty philosophy of the Orient. but
well versed In the history Of other ma
tons and what has made their success.
He is an eloquent speaker, and his lee
lures to his countrymen In the United
States have stirred them greatly.

How They Put Ont Fires in Korea

How They Put Out Fires I'm Korea.
A fire in Korea is considered Of Sigh,
consequence, unless whole streeI
should happen to be threatened. There
is very little in Korean house that can
burn, except sliding doors and win
dOws, and few articles of furniture
and clothing
Generally the unlucky owner whose
house catches fire endeavOrs to pull II
down; that is, after he has carried into
the street whatever property he cares
to save. When several houses at once
are in danger the King sends out a
hundred or so soldiers, who calmly
view the bonfire, and offer help, II nee
essary. There Is no water to work
with, so these helpers generally bring
along with them ships anchor, fas
tened to long. thick rope; this anchor
they fix to the burning beam, then 1t is
"a long pull, strong pull, and pull all
together"
Sometimes the sparks, driven by the
wind, fly across the road; then the
Koreans climb up on their roofs, and
stand in rows upon the upper edges OF
the structure. You will wonder what
the object of this strange proceeding
may be- Now the men quickly STRIP
off their coats and the women follow
suit with their large cloaks. These they
wave rapidly together, in order tc
create strong counter breeze to the
one blowing.
One can almost imagine the Koreans
TO be strange birds, tapping their wings
preparatory to taking their flight into
the upper regions. While these odd
proceedings are going on, prayers are
offered to the spirit of the fire, as well
as to that Of the wind.
