signal Again an hour passed by.
Nothing new.
Two o'clock in the morning was about .
to strike from the clock tower OF the
cathedral of Irkutsk and no movement
had taken place to disclose the hostile
intentions of the besiegers. The grand
duke and his officers began to ask
themselves If they had not been led
into error, If 1t had really entered into
the plan of the Tartars to attempt to
surprise the town.
The preceding nights had not by any
means been so calm Firing had been
kept up from the advanced posts, and
shells had Kissed through the air, and
this time there was nothing of the kind.
The grand duke, General Voranzon,
their aids-de-camp. waited therefore,
ready to give their orders according to
the circumstances.
1t has been stated that Ivan Ogareff
occupied a room in the palace. 1t was
pretty large room, situated on the
ground floor, and its windows opened
out upon n side terrace. One need only

overlook the course of the Angara. a
profound darkness regned In that
room. Ivan Ogareff. standing near n
window, was waiting for the hour of
action to arrive. Evidently the signal
could only come from him. Once this
signal was given, when most of the de-
tenders of Irkutsk should have been

to go and accomplish his work. He
waited then in the dark, like tiger
ready to spring upon its prey.
Meanwhile, some minutes before 2
o'clock, the grand duke asked that Mi

he could give to Ivan Ogareff-should
be brought to him. An ald-de-camr

invisible in the darkness, took good

was then informed that the courier oi

week presented to the city council,

owners on the south side of the square
for three blocks, asking that Madison
avenue be paved from Washington
avenue to Sycamore street. That

east to the Thomson hotel. With one
street thus paved ,:the west side busl-

suit and before the agitation is over
the square may be paved and start

ANIMALS WITH THREE EYES.

Nearly every one has heard of the

ing creature, now found on only one
or two islands off the coast of New
Zealand, and supposed to be the old.
est living type of animal on the face
OF the globe. One of the most curi-
Gus features is an organ on the head
which at one time was spoken of as
the pineal gland, but which DR.. Dendv
discovered to be in reality a third
eye. His paper on the subject caused
the greatest interest in the English
scientific cihcles, and, as an illustra-
ton OF the way in which research is
specialized nowadays, it may be men.
toned that while DR.. Dendy devoted
himself to the study of the third eve
one distinguished English biologist is
working OUT the skeleton, another
the kidneys. and SO forth In a short
time, therefore, our anatomical
knowledge of the tauatara ought to be
complete.
More recently DR.. Dendy has dis
covered another New Zealand creature
possessing third eye. This is the
New Zealand lamprey, favorite
article of food among the Maoris. The
third eye is situated right on top of
the head and is covered with a thin
coating of skin. 1t is doubtful
whether it is now of any practical
use for seeing, but Dr. Dendy believes
that at one time, far back in the
worlds history, there were two eyes
on the back of the lamprey's head.
He is further of the opinion that at
one time the tuatara also had two
eyes where now only one remains. In
the tuatara it is the left eye which
has survived, while in the lamprey
it is the right one.--Melbourne Argus.
