ARTIFICIAL EYES.
From Pare's Crude Invention to the
Modern Work of Art.

The earliest known mention of
modern artificial eyes-that is, eyes
worn inside the orbit-occurs in an
exceedingly rare illustrated work
on surgery written by French sur
geon named Ambrose Pare and
published in Paris in 1861. Pare
invented three artificial eyes. The
first was a wonderful continuance.
1t consisted of thin metal spring
band which passed half way round
the wearer's head, having on one
end a small oval plate, which cover
ed the orbit of the eye and the other
end pressed against the back of the
head. The oval plate was covered
with smooth, soft leather, on which
an eye was painted. 1t would, per-
haps, be difficult to devise anything
more inelegant or uncomfortable.
The second device was a hollow
globe of gold, eye shaped and en-
ameled, which was worn inside the
socket-the first recorded artificial
eye thus worn.
The third continuance was simply
''shell pattern" eye, exactly SINH
lar in shape to those now used, but
made of gold and enameled. Elk
cept that they were made of gold
and enameled, the two latter were
practically of the same design as the
s'globe" and 'Eshell" glass eyes of the
present day.
Pare's clumsy, trusslike appli-
ance, and his two gold eyes, which
were used only by the wealthy, were
succeeded by eyes made of painted
porcelain and colored pearl white,
which Immediately became i'm
mensely popular. Next came the
invention Of glass eyes, which in
stantly superseded all others and
still command the public favor.
Glass eyes, which were invented
in 1879, were well known ia Shake
speare's time. In ''King Lear" (act
4, scene 6), written In I6O5 and
first published in 1908, Lear,
with crushing derision, thus advises
the blinded traitor Gloucester, "Get
thee glass eyes, and seem
to see." As a strict necessity,
Gloucester would have required
globe pattern eyes.
In Shakespeare's day glass eyes
were literally the finest productions
of very inferior workmanship, the
iris and the pupil being hand paint
ed in the best style of that rough
and ready period. However, as
Father Time marched along glass
eyes progressed and improved in
make and finish, especially within
the last half century, and now they
have reached high standard of ex-
cellence as works of art.-Cham-
bers' Journal.

Invention of PopIin.

The original invention of poplin
is claimed by Avignon, France, once
a papal see, on which account it was
called papaline in compliment to
the reigning pope, at which time
1.-THE fifteenth century, this rich ma
terial was produced to supply the
gorgeous ecclesiastical vestments
and hangings in use. The industry
was introduced into Dublin by
French immigrants, refugees at the
time Of the revocation of the edict
of Nantes, who settled in that part
Of the Irish capital called the Lib
critics. The La Touche family es-
tablished the first organized manu-
factory there, which commenced
operations in 1893.

IN CASE OF FIRE.
What to Do When Persons Clothing
Becomes lgnited.


Quick, intelligent work is impera-
tive when persons clothing be-
comes ignited. Your first move
should be to get the person at
length upon the floor. The easiest
and safest way to accomplish this
is by tripping. Then roll him over
and over. This alone will go long
way toward smothering the flames,
but at the same time lay hold of
rug, coat or anything thick with
which the operation can be more
speedily and effectually completed.
A pailful of water will answer the
purpose, perhaps, but do not take
even ten seconds to obtain it. 1t is
of vital Importance that you make
use of the nearest means. Strive
to keep the flames away from the
upper half of the body, for that is
the most vulnerable portion of the
human anatomy.
Should your own clothing catch
fire it will require all of your eour-
age and training to enable you to
act nationally. The natural and al
most overpowering impulse is to
run. Don't; it only makes bad
matter rapidly worse. Lie down at
once and roll yourself up in any
thing which will assist in smother
ing the flames. Fire has a strong
upward tendency, and it will soon
enyelop your whole body if you re-
main on your feet. The danger of
your inhaling the flames is also
greatly increased and internal burns
are pretty uniformly fatal.
So far / have used the masculine
pronoun, but all of my directions
apply with even more force to the
women. It is sad fact that three
fourths of those who suffer from
burns belong to the fair sex. This
is attributable, in a large measure,
to the infammable nature of their.
dress.-Good Housekeeping.

Cocoa, cacao and Coca.

"Speaking of confusion in the use
of words" said a visitor to the city
from Nicaragua, 81 read a story
some time ago which was credited to
a physician, and [ was impressed
with the belief that he was either
misquoted or that he had got slight
ly mixed in his botany. He was
talking about coca, cocaine, coco
cola and things Of that sort, and he
attempted to straighten out some
of the popular errors, but instead
of doing so he made matters worse.
"Now, | am engaged in the bust
ness of a cacao planter near San
Carlos, and l believe | ought to
know something about the business.
Cacao is one thing, cocoa is another
and coca is still another. Cocoa is
the ordinary cocoanut. Cocoa is
not made from the seed of the
chocolate tree, but chocolate is
made from the seed of the cacao,
the broma cacao. It is rather GU
rious fact that this word cacao is
invariably spelled incorrectly in
nearly all advertisements. Any
good botanical dictionary will show
you the difference between cocoa,
the cocoanut palm; cacao, the
broma cacao, and coca, the cocaine
shrub. Yet these words are COM
monty confused and misspelled in
newspapers and other advertising
mediums, and the members of the
medical profession, it seems, are not
exempt from the same mistakes.
They are separate things, with sepa-
rate properties, and have separate
uses" New Orleans Times-Demo-

Not In the Secondhand Business.

As Richard Brinsley Sheridan,
the great wit, was entering court
one day carrying his books and
briefs in a green bag, according to
the custom OF the time, some of his
brother barristers, thinking to play
a joke on him, urged some boys to
ask him if he had old clothes for
sale in his green bag. ooh, no!'
instantly replied Sheridan. ''They
are all new suits"

The Murderer and Captain Byrnes.

The Murderer and Captain Byrnes.
McGloin was a young ruffian who
had murdered a saloon keeper at
midnight raid on his place. He
was the fellow who the night before
he was hanged invited the chief of
detectives to "come over to the
wake. They'll have a devil of a
time" For six months Byrnes had
tried everything to bring the crime
home to him, but in vain. At last
he sent out and had McGloin and
his two "pals" arrested, but so that
none of them knew of the plight of
the others. McGloin was taken to
Mulberry street, and orders we're
given to bring the others in at a
certain hour fifteen or twenty min
utes apart.
Byrnes put McGloin at the win
dow in his Office while he questioned
him. Nothing could be got out of
him. AS he sat there a door was
banged below. Looking out, he saw
one of his friends led across the
yard in charge of policemen. Byrnes,
watching him narrowly, saw his
cheek blanch, but still his nerve
held. Fifteen minutes passed; an
other door banged. The murderer,
looking out, saw his other pal led in
a prisoner. He looked at Byrnes.
The chief nodded.

TOKYO A CITY OF PLEASURE.
In Some Ways Japan's Capital Is
More Fascinating Than Paris.

Of all the lands in the world none
exerts the peculiar fascination of
Japan. Others have equal beauty
of scenery, greater grandeur, more
noble works of art, more interesting
problems of society, writes David
Starr Jordan in The Humanitarian.
But none possesses an equal fascina
ton. No one who has been in the
real Japan which lies outside the
treaty ports and the foreign hotels
and railways ever could or ever
would forget his experience. No
one, if he could, would ever fail to
return.
The great secret of this charm
lies with the people themselves.
They have made fine art of per-
sonal relations. Their acts are
those of good taste and good humor.
Two cities of about the same size
and relative Importance are Paris
and Tokyo. No two could show
greater contrast in spirit. Both are
in a sense cities of pleasure. Tokyo
is a city of continual joyousness, lit
tie pleasures drawn from simple
things, which leave no sting and
draw nothing from future happi-
ness. Paris is feverish and feels
the difference in the morning" and
the ''hard, fierce lust and cruel
deed" which go with the search for
pleasure that draws on the future
for the joys of the present.
No one who catches the spirit of
Paris can fail to miss the underlying
sadness, the pity of it all. The
spirit of Tokyo-not of all Tokyo,
but of its life as whole-is as
fresh as the song of birds, as Fsweet
as children's prattle IS" and it is
good to be under it's spell.
