WAS MIR. JACOBS TURN
Burglars Made Another Water Haul
 on Thursday Night.

Thursday night was Mir. Jacobs turn to have his house ransacked by burg lars. and everything portable inside oi it turned upside down. But the rob- bers only got a silver dollar and a silk handkerchief.
 Shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Jacobs was awakened by the eat jumping on her bed. m unusu- al occurrence, so she jumped up inn mediately and turned on the switch that lighted up the whole house. When the light first flashed the two Misses Jacobs, who have been sleeping to- gether since the burglars made their appearance in town, were awakened and caught a glimpse of a man in a slouch hat sneaking out of their room.
 Mir. Jacobs, of course, was out of bed in a second but the visitors had de- parted and that right hastily. A topsy turVy scene was presented to the Jacobs family. All the clothing belong ing to Mir. Jacobs and his son was piled in the hallway and had been thorough ly searched for money. But MT. Jacobs had prepared an April fool game for just that kind of people and no money was found except a silver dollar his son had in a vest pocket. A white silk handkerchief was taken from MT. Jacobs coat pocket but he did not miss it till he got down town yesterday.
 The burglars had ransacked every bureau, dresser. sidebOard and drawer in the house. overturned everything visited every room in the house. Their trail was strewn with burned matches. Every door in the house and some O: the windows had been opened for nasty exit. Though there Is no definite way of telling some of the family think entrance was made through a front window. Yesterday was devoted large ly by Mir. Jacobs 10 the pastime of changing locks on the doors of the house and the store. His store keys were undisturbed but they might have taken an impression of them and it is just as well to be safe.
 The incident though gave away q family secret. MT. Jacobs says he has at least eight clocks in the house and there is only one of them that will run any longer than it is watched by the owner. That one is a dollar clock that hangs in the kitchen. When he got around to look at it he found it was fifteen minutes Of three o'clock.

Improvement of Corn

"Uncle Henry" Wallace,is devoting q
good deal of space in his paper Wal
laces' Farmer to the improvement Of
Iowa Corn. He calls attention to the
fact that while the Iowa Farmer has
been improving his live stock for TWEEN
ty years and more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop
corn. Among the many articles which
have appeared in Wallace's Farmer on
this subject has been series by Prof
Shamel, of Illinois, the corn expert
and these are illustrated by q number
Of photographs showing different va
rieties of corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the most profitable to raise, etc.
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as anybody
does but we miss our guess If he can
not learn a lot from these articles In
Wallaces' Farmer.
In this connection we wish to say
that Wallaces' Farmer is one of the
best agricultural papers that comes to
this office. 1t is handsomely printed on

The desire of the Bank of England
officials to discover forgers has some
times led to curious mistakes. On one
occasion the painter George Morand,
In his eagerness to avoid his duns, re-
tired to an obscure hiding place in
Hackney, where his anxious looks and
secluded manner Of life induced some
of his neighbors to believe him forger
of notes then in existence.
The directors, on being informed, dis
patched some deXterous detectives to
the residence, but Morland's suspicious
were aroused by their movements in
front of the house and, thinking them
bailiffs, escaped from the back to Lon
don.
Mrs. Morland informed the visitors
Of her husbands name and showed
them some unfinished pictures. The
facts were reported to the directors,
who presented Morland with two twen-
ty pound notes by way of compensation
for the alarm.

The Eyes of u Zee.

Every bee has two kinds of eyes,
the two large compound ones, looking
like hemispheres on either side, and
the three simple ones which crown the
top Of his head. Each compound eye
Is composed of $500 faeets--that is to
say, an object is reflected $500 times
on its surface. Every one Of these
facets is the base of an inverted hex
agonal pyramid, whose apex is fitted to
the head. Each pyramid may be term
ed an eye, for each has its own iris and
optic nerve.
How these insects manage this mar.
velous number of eyes is not yet
known. They are immovable, but mo-
bility is unnecessary because of the
range of vision afforded by the position
and the number of facets. They have
no lids, but are protected from dust
and injury by rows of hairs growing
along the lines at the functions of the
facets. The simple eyes are supposed
to have been given the bee to enable
1t to see above its head when intent
upon gathering honey from the cups OF
flowers. Probably this may be one
reason, but it is likely there are Other
uses for them not yet ascertained.-
