ANSWERS-To questions of two weeks
ago:
213.-The term bird's-eye view is applied
generally to modes of perspective in
which the eye is supposed to look down
upon the objects from a considerable
height. In sketching or drawing a IoclI-
ity for military or economical purposes,
this kind of perspective is always used
The great difficulty is to represent at the
same time the relative heights of noun
tains and steepness of activities. But
the more usual kind of bird's-eye view
differs from the common perspective pic
ture only in the greater height of the
horizontal line.
274-Among odd titles for towns is that

Devon, two and half miles west of Bid

but it's existence to Charles Kingsley-s

In 1877 the feeling against horse stealing
was especially severe, the number of ex-
ecutions for that crime beng thirty-tive.
In 1885 the Vigilantes Were unusually
active, lynching seven. In 1887 ''vodoo-
ism was first regarded as an offense
grave enough to justify sudden death
without recourse to the law. In 1883 the
horse thieves Were again given no mercy,
ten of them paying the extreme penalty
In 1889 it was the outlaws and desper-
ADDE'S who suffered most, nineteen of
them being strung up by mobs. In 1890
race prejudice claimed five victims and
political prejudice three.
The most sensational feature of 1891
was Fthe summary execution of eleven
Italians in New Orleans for alleged con-
spiracy to murder. In 1892 the crime OF
horse stealing cost twenty more men tnelr
lives.
In 1898 the White Caps began opera

were hanged without trial because they

WHAT DID HE LIVE FOR,

William Lyle, of Barlow, Fla, died
Monday, Oct. IA, and the verdict was
that he brought himself to an untimely
grave by overwork. He was beyond a
doubt most industrious and energetic
man. He worked early and late, day
and night, Sundays included, and no hui
man body or brain can long withstand
such a constant strain. A few years
ago Mr.. Lyle located at Barlow prac-
tically penniless. and at his death he
left orange groves, lands, farms stock
notes and mortgages aggregating in value
PEI haps 100000, and yet he was not sat
isfied, and worked as usual until the
final collapse came. And now those who
knew him will ask what does it profit to
gain wealth and lose health and life in
the gaining. Mr.. Lyle was still a young
man, and should have lived many wears
had he been content with a reasonable
amount of work and wealth. Nervous
pr ostration was the direct cause of his
and oolittle sleep and physical rest for
either mind or body.
