Tired Eyes.

People speak about their eyes being
tired. meaning that the retina, or seeing
portion Of the eye. is fatigued. but suci,
is not the case, as the retina hardly ever
gets tired. The fatigue is in the inner
and outer muscle attached to the eyebail
and the muscles Of accommodation which
surround the lens of the eye. When Il
near object is to be looked at this muscle
rclaxes and allows the lens to thicken,
increasing it's refractive power. The in
ner and outer muscles are used in cover
ing the eye on the object to be looked
1T: the inner one being especially used
when necr object is looked at. 1t is
in the three muscles mentioned that the
fatigue is felt. and relief is secured tenn
porarily by closing the eyes or gazing at
far-distant objects. The usual indica-
ton OF strain is a rcdncss Of the rim of
the eyclid, betokeninS q congestcd state
Of the inner surface. accompanied by
some pain. Sometimes this wcariness
indicates tn" need of glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and in other cases
the true remedy is to massage the eye
and it's surroundings, 80 far us may be-,

"BONE LIBRARY"
a Complete Collection of Skeletons OF
Animals Known to Science.

N'~~S NVAASSSsVu VI 0AClSIOuB "
Animals Known to Science.
: The Wistar institute of the University
of Pennsylvania is now in possession of
Bone Library,".~ which is said to be
the only one of it's kind in existence.
The bones which make up this peculiar
library include the skeletons Of almost
every animal known to science. Dr.
Jayne, who is ut the heatk,of the Wistar
institute, has adopted an entirely new
method Of classifying and arranging these
bones. Instead of mounting the COM
pletc skeleton, as is commonly done, the
skeleton is disarticulated and the bones
are catalogued and placed in separate
trays, following the order of catalOguins
the books in the University library.
By this means it is made possible to
study every bone in it's proper class. The
collection is so complete that the evolu-
ton Of any particular animal can be
studied through many generations. In
the same way it is possible to trace out
the relationship to some allied animal.
DIR. Jayne and his assistants are con-
tinually adding to the bone collection.
One Of the latest additions is that Of the
skeletons Of three European apes, said
to be the only ones in America. The
apes were natives Of southern Spain,
having been taken over there from AL
giers at a very early date. They have
been carefully protected by the Spanish
government, and for this reason none of
them have ever before found their way
to any American museum.

back. He says he supposed it was a

him great soreness, so that he was

which only increased his anxiety and
did him no good.
A friend who had some experience
advised him to use Dodds Kidney
Pills. Mr.. Kctchum began with six
pills day and in a week was we'll and
the soreness all gone. However, this
did not satisfy him. for he says:

about 10000 tons of ore have been rem

day that the mines daily shipments
