THE EYES BLIND SPOT.
\ Phenomenon Not Discovered Until
Charles HIS Time

If l wrote an article about the eye
and said nothing about the blind spot
which is where the optic nerve comes
through into the retira, about one
tenth of an inch nearer the nose than
the center, l suppose my readers
would go to the box Office and demand
their money back.
Just to be different from other people,
though. will not print a cross-m mark here
and dot over there and tell you how to
look at it so that the dot will disappear

three-quarters of an inch in diameter

had no real entity, but l won't / know
better scheme. Close your fists with
your thumbs outside and hold against
each other. Extend your arms. Shut your
left eye and look fxedly with your right
eye at your left thumb. Separate your
hands, and when they are about six inches
apart the right thumb will go out of bust
ness temporarily, for its picture will fall
on the blind spot.
Now, here's the curious part of it.
Though men have tried all sorts of ex-
periments on themselves for unknown
thousands of years, this phenomenon was
not discovered until the time of Charles
ii, of Egland. The blind spot leaves no
hole in the picture of the outside world.
but there being no stimulation on that

MANUFACTURE OF DYNAMITE.
A Dangerous Process and Buildings
Are Widely Separnted

In the midst of a stretch of desolate
| sand dunes in Lake County, Ind, scarce
| ly more than thirty miles from Chicago,
is spot which might well be the Mecca
| of the anarchist. Everywhere is sand
sand in beaches, hillocks, ridges and hills
and out of these drifting, shifting heaps
rises smoke from the stacks of one of the
largest plants in the country devoted to
the manufacture of dynamite.
The tramp, the hobo and even the far
mer folk of the neighborhood make wide
circuits of the silent buildings, over which
the smoke of time seems to take the form
of that grim messenger, Death. 1t is a
plague spot to those who look upon 1t
from affair." but to those whose duty takes
them into mixing houses, nitrators, acid
works, packhouses and magazines in the
plant of nearly 300 acres it is place
where wages are good, where employment
is steady and where-even through the at
mosphere of unceasing watchfulness and
care-the spirit of gossip and laughter and
song may find vent
Each building is separated from the
others by wide streets, in which sand en-
bankuents have been heaped as further
precaution against a possible explosion
in one building communicating to an
other Several tramway lines connect
these structures, however, making the
wide distances of small consequence in
the matter of time The whole plant is
heated by steam and lighted by electric
ity thus minimizing the dangers of fire,
and with these general precautions the
studied carefulness of employees in every
department of the work is the price of
safety in this -menacing occupation
of dynamite making.
Few visitors have ever gone through
these works. Few persons have ever ex-
pressed a wish to do SO. AS might read
lily be perceived, the machinery adapted
to the manufacturing of dynamite. nitro
glycerin, and gelatin has been slow in ap-
preaching perfection. 1t has grown by
steps also as cautious as those by which
the chemist has come to a knowledge OF
what will happen when he mixes two sub
stances in a mortar.
In the early days of chemistry the
stroke Of pestie in a mortar has sent
a laboratory up in smoke. or blown it to
fragments for idle winds Today chemi-
cal laboratory is a good fire risk, and the
time may come when even a factory
making dynamite will be allowed site
in a city block.
Both dynamite and gelatin are packed
in paper shells that have been dipped in
paraffin. The packing of dynamite cart
ridges is done by hand. while gelatin
usually is packed by machine. Packers
receive about $50 a month for this work
and consider it comparatively free from
danger. The mixing houses are consid-
cred most dangerous, although accidents
are few even there. In one big plant near
Chicago which has been in operation
more than twenty years, only eight men
have been killed. and when it is consid-
cred that at times 200 men have been en-
ployed 1t will be seen that dynamite
workers are less liable to accident than
are men in many other occupations that
commonly are regarded as scarcely in the
hazardous class.-Boston Journal.

A GOOD ONE ON GOODWIN.
How the Actors Memory for Faces
Made Him Treat.

Nat Goodwin, the actor. has a remark
able memory for faces and has frequently
boosted among his friends that once he
has seen a man and talked with him, even
for minute. he never forgets that man S
face. This highly developed faculty was
put to a triumphant test the other even
ing soon after the return of the actor
from his European trip.
He was seated with party of friends
in Broadway cafe when his attention be-
came riveted upon a welldressed man
sitting at a table a short distance away.
There's man whose face is as famil-
lar to me as though l had seen him but
yesterday" remarked the comedian to his
friends, but for the life of me l cannot
place him in my memory"
None of the party remembered ever
having seen the stranger before, and Mr.
Goodwin, after worrying over the thing
and cudgeling his brain for a time, could
stand the suspense no longer and went
over to the stranger.
Pardon me, SIR said the actor in his
most polite tones, but / feel as if knew
you well. So stupid of me in forgetting
your name. / am Mr.. Goodwin-'Nat
Goodwin-and l trust your memory is
better than mine and that you can recall
where We have met"
Certainly, Mr. Goodwin replied the
stranger with a profound bow. Il have
the first chair at IS shop up here on
Broadway. l shaved you yesterday"
"Ah, so you did; so you did, replied
the comedian in far away tones. am
glad to meet you again.
Then Mr.. Goodwin went back to his
party and called for something all
around"-St. Louis Star.

SMOKING IN CHURCH.
Custom That Prevailed in Dutch and
Spanish Sanctunries.

Smoking in church is a Dutch custom
Dutchmen are such inveterate smokers
that one of them is rarely seen without
his pipe. He finds himself unable to de-
prive himself of the indulgence, even Tor
the short period of q church service "A
similar practice exists in several churches
in South America. Smoking in churches
in Great Britain is said to have been pre-
valent at the end of the sixteenth and the
beginning of the seventeenth century.
At one time smoking was carried to
such an excess in Seville Cathedral that
the chapter applied to the Pope for power
to repress the abuse. Urban VIII yield
ing to their wish, issued bull, which was
promulgated January 80, 1912.
In Wales smoking in church was in
dulged in as late as 1850 In one church
the communion table stood in the aisle,
and the farmers were in the habit of put
ting their hats upon 1t, and when the
service began they lighted their pipes and
smoked, without any thought of irreyer-
ence in the act.-WestIninster Gazette.

Mccormick wishes to remain in Chicago,
and SCOTS at the report that he has been
landed by the local people. The fact that
Mccormick has named terms, however,
disposes of this view.
Al Buckenberger is having difficulty ar
ranging spring games for the Boston Ma
tlonal League team. Buck planned to
play number of teams after leaving
Thomasville for the North, gradually
working his way back to Boston. The
hardness of J. b. Billings in selecting
training grounds for the team has bandi-
capped Mr.. Billings manager, who at
TINS day is unable to arrange any games
with college mines. He has already sche-
duled a game at Newark and two each
with Worcester and Providence. Fifteen
men will be taken to Townsville and
three local men will be picked up there
TO fill out two teams, which will play
each other for practice.
One of the umpires is quoted by Chi
cago paper as follows: We have not
formed any trust nor combine, but we
have simply decided not to sign contracts
until the American and National League
people see fit to give us fair salaries. We
all know that an umpire can either make
or spoil a game of ball. An incompetent
man can set the greatest bunch of ball
players off their feet by giving a few
bad decisions, and. what is more, set the
average baseball crowd crazy. In these
days, when the ballplayers are drawing
$4,000 and $1,000 for their seasons work,
it is only fair that the umpires who have
made their regulations should receive
fair play. None of us is in a hurry to
do business. but if the magnates are will
ing to talk business, We stand ready to
meet them half way. Then, and not till
then, will we consider the subject of sign
ing contracts"
Outside of the publication of the cor
respondence between Messrs. Spalding
and Young relating to the minutes of the
recent meeting of the league, there are
no fresh developments in the National
Leagues household scrap. In view of the
declaration of both parties to the dead
lock, it is not clear how either could
go on with the other. Still, we can all
recall that old school boy gag about what
would happen if an irresistible force were
TO meet an immovable body. Mr.. ire
sistible Force Spalding declared that Mr..
1mmovable Body Freedman would have
to get out. The Force has gone against
the Body. but both are still doing bust
ness. It's good betting that there will
be a compromise, and it wouldn't be at
all surprising If ii were arranged on the
basis of the reelection of n E. Young
whom both sides have sought to use in
furtherance of their own selfish ends ever
since the fight began. 1t is the easiest
way the National League magnates have
of working themselves out of the dirty
mess of their creation

CEILING DECORATIONS.
Curious and Expensive Fad of a

A Russian nobleman of immense wealth

in the career of his ancestors, and the
whole forms what is perhaps a unique
example of inner-roof ornamentation.
Nearly 100000 rubles has been expended
upon this extraordinary work.

as curious, is the ceiling decorations of

Is said to be positively charming
A Tuscan noble, who fiourished during
the seventeenth century, had the ceilings
of his palace lined with exquisite mirrors
of the finest quality of glass, while a
contemporary of his adopted a similar
device. the mirrors, however, being fieck-
ed with gorgeous flowers of all hues of
the rainbow. The effect presented by the
latter decoration was reputed 10 be ex-
ceedingly picturesque. and one may we'll
conceive that such was indeed the case.
