u But L was writing about that night
at Alphonso. AS each heavy pack was
removed from the back OF a mule, the
swearing animal moved out Of line,
shook himself with many satisfied
grunts, and then sank down noisily up
on the turf Of the plaza to scratch his
numb and itching back in the only way
he knew. This process was performed
with many grunts of intense pleasure,
and even after the killing day under
the packs, there was a gentle coltish
kicking in the herd when the rolling

No satisfactory determination has
been made of the reason we wink.

turn Of the lid over the eye serves to
sweep or wash it off; others that COW

rows, some force from the fact that the
record Of winking is considerably used
by experimental ply siologists to help
measure the fatigue which the eye suf-
fers. In another line Of investigation
So. Garten has attempted to measure
the length Of time occupied by the
different phases Of a wink. He used a
specially arranged Photographic APP

mark. He found that the lid descends
quickly and rests a little at the bottom
of its movement. after Which5it rises,

shortest durations being fifteen hum

and seventeen hundr edths with anoth-

hund redths of a second more making
the entire duration Of the wink about
forty hundr edths, or four- tenths of a

rarely; some in groups Of ten or SO at

theirs regularly once only at time.

ed the following resolution at the meeting
last evening:
Resolved, That this board will grant

ing the odd one. and he spoke freely. as
serting that Rugby football was far more
brutal than sparrlng
The resolution was submitted by a
committee from the Pastors Union,
which recently waged war on sparring,
and Rev. Frank j. Goodwin spoke for its
passage.
Alderman Ryder, who had been scored
in a sermon for his stand in the matter,

by Rev. G. T. Stenhouse
The action OF the aldermen has created
stir among the fraternity, who had
become highly elated at the success OF
the two recent sparring exhibitions held
