- FF the northern coast OF
Maine lies Badge Island. On
II is little Government light
until a short time ago kept
by Frank Gray, a widOwer, with one
child, little girl Of eight Those who
have read the delightful tale Of Cap
tain January" may get some knowledge
of the life that this father and daugh-
ter led on the rocky little islet. The
child was her fathers soul and heart.
The mother had died when Catharine,
the little one, was five years old.
Frank Gray was 10th TO give up his
sea-girt life. The circumstances of
the case forbade the taking 10 the ISL

The father would not part with her
to an institution. and so there In the
bleak spot they lived for many months
Of the year together, neither seeing
any other human being.
The childs playfellows in the sum
mertime were the birds Of the air. The
island was the home of thousands of
sea birds, the great gulls and the grace

all over the island. 1t was Catharine's
delight to watch the great gatherings
of these feathered sea clans. The birds
grew to know her ana to look upon
her simply as one Of the natural OBJ
jects Of their island home. She picked
her steps as she made her way over
the rocks or through the few grassy
stretches, lest by mishap she tread
upon one of the precious eggs or downy

While Mrs. Matthew Robson. Of Sha,
mokin, was pursuing four boys who
had thrown stones at her chickens. she
arrived at the brink of an abandoned
opening of the Nelson mine shaft. The
ground caved in and she slid in the
abyss After descending fifteen feet
she grabbed a projecting rock and
held fast. She grew weak and was
about - unloosen her grasp, which
would have resulted in a 5O0-foot fall,
when young man who had seen the

vcaling his identity. The bone over
her right eye was fractured. and her

scientific Investigations Of
\ modern times Is now being
brought by DR. Lindsay John
sOn, +. X. G. S., to the close Of its
earlier stages.
II Is some years ago now since the
doctor, pondering certain appearances
called the "fundus ocuii' - at the
back Of the human eye, began 10 won
der whether monkeys possessed the
peculiar spot in the centre Of the Wis
ion, known IS the "macula lutea.' or
yellow spOt-the part OF the eye In
man which II used for reading
He bctOOk himself 10 Jamrach's col
lection OF animals, and other menag-
cries, and found with astonishment,
that all the monkeys did possess that
spot. as I'm man, but that IL varied
with each genus. Following UP this
clue he discovered that every family
Of the mammalian order possessed a
distinct appearance Of its own in the
eye, by which anyone seeing the back
OF the eye with an OphthalmOscOpe and
n light would be able not only 10 rec
ognizc the family, but the genus Of
the animal.
He then proceeded Systematically 10
examine all the animals 10 bc seen in
the Geological Gardens Of London.
Antwerp, An sterdam, Hamburg and
elsewhere; and as result Of his gi-
gantic labor he found many new and
striking facts.
His method Of investigating, how
ever, has not yet been recorded, and
this TO the general public Will be the
most interesting portion OF the story
OF his work. To examine the eyes
Of the animals il was necessary for
DR.. Johnson TO darken the cage, TO
sit beside the animal with lamp be-
hind It's head and 10 look through the
ophthalmOscOpe at n distance Of half
an inch from the animals eye for a
period OF not less than two hours at
time. The total time spent over
each animal would vary from eight
10 sixteen hours. He examined the
eyes of about 1000 animals and made
drawings of about $50, some fifty Of
which have so far been published by
the Royal Society.
In the case Of the larger animals II
was. Of course, necessary TO cOntine
their movements. Thus the elephants
were chained down. Sacks some eight
feet long were made for slipping over
the bears. which were then confined
in them with ropes. The closed ends
Of the sacks were next slit with a
knife, and as Bruin prOtruded his
head he was promptly muzzled and
lifted on TO the table for the eye-test-
ing.
In the cases of lions, lcopards, tigers,
and large cats, mu2zles could not be
used, as they frightened the animals
nearly 10 death, and the doctor had
therefore 10 resort TO private monag-
cries. where the beasts were less wild
Here he found II advisable 10 cut off
the whskers of the brutes, as the
touching OF the whiskers during the
examination made them snap.
The resOurccfulness Of the doctor and
his assistants had TO be endless. Some
of the birds were induced to thrust
their bills into large corkS, and the

 New York, March 13-To-da stock market was again an affair of special ties and the movement in the active leaders of the market was exceedingly confused and irregular and presented many direct reversals of the recently prevailing movement in special stocks. The stocks of the largely capitalized railroad systems of the country, which assume the leadership of the market in times of great general speculation were neglected and almost immovable. In such stocks as Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Atchison, St. Paul and Missouri Pacific, as well as many other usually active stocks, the outside range for the day did not cover more than half point and in some only one-quarter Yet the large dealings in some of the largely capitalized industrials and in railroad specialties of small capitalization there was sufficient activity to give the mar ket some appearance of animation Amalgamated Copper continued the most active stock in the market and the acute weakness of yesterday was overcome by vigorous support. After ruling a fraction below last night dur ing the early part of the day, it rose above in the afternoon and finished with a net gain of q point. Sugar took Ama1gamated Copper's place in the column and suffered an extreme de- cline of nearly points but recovered all but fraction of it. The varying opin- ions on the chances of Cubar sugar for tariff concession were the speculative material on this stock Manhattan was very active and advanced strongly. An uncovered short interest was reported to be a factor in this advance but re- ports were circulated of large earnings. Other strong points were North Amer- can. the International Silver stocks and number of minor specialties without any explanation. Strength in the soft coalers was due to the belief that agreement had been reached with the miners. The anthracite roads, on the other hand, reflected recurrence of uneasiness over the labor question, due to reports of a threatened strike in the Lackawanna company's mines. Reports of labor controversies in va rious parts of the country were dis cussed with interest and were a some what depressing factor genrally.

 Washington, March 13.-The resolu- ton of Representative Burleston of Texas asking the secretary of state for information as to requests by the Rev. Hiram w. Thomas to bear relief funds to the Boer concentration camps, was ordered reported by the house commit tee on foreign affairs to-day. As agreed to, the resolution says:
 Resolved, That the secretary of state be and he is hereby respectfully re- quested, if not Incompatible with the public interests, to inform the house of representa- lives whether he declined to comply with the request of the said Rev. Hiram w. Thomas, or any one acting for him, for passports, or to ask the British government for permission for the said Rev Dr. Thomas and his wife, or to lend his offices to secure, through the British ambassador, a per init from the British war office for them, to visit South African military concentration camps for the purpose of distributing funds raised in the United States for the relief of non-combatant prisoners.

GEN. METHUEN SET FREE.
DISPATCH RECEIVED BY VAR
 SECRETARY BRODRICK.
Release Indicated by Statement That He Is in the Hands of n British Medical nHcar

London, March 13.-The war secre- tary, MT. BrodericlI, announced in the house of commons to-day that he un- derstood that General Lord Methuen, who was captured, severely wounded by General Delarey on March 10, had been released, and was expected to ar rive at Klerksdorp, Southwestern Transvaal, to-day. The generals con dition was favorable.
 MT. Broder:ck added that the ex- change of General Methuen for Com mandant Kritzinger had not been con- templated. The trial of the command ant had been postponed because consid- eration of the evidence to be presented had not been completed.
 Timothy M. Healy, Irish nationalist, amid nationalist cheers. invited the government to show equal magnanim- ity and release Commandant Kritzin- ger.
 MT. Broderick later said that the tele- gram received did not specifically say that General Methuen had been releas- ed, but, from the fact that he was in the hands of British medical officer, 1t was presumed that he had been re- leased.

Louis Southwestern preferred was due to the announced success of the plan for the conversion of the company's second income bonds. Trade reports from the iron and steel industry were responsible for the advance in the stocks of companies in that trade, in which the United States Steel stocks were only moderate sharers, owing to the discussion of the proposition for a bond issue, for retirement of part of the preferred stock and for acquiring additional properties. While special stocks were advancing, others were af- fected by profiting taking sales, after having enjoyed recent substantial ad- vances. The deposit of quarters of million dollars at the sub-treas- ury for transfer to San Francisco call ed renewed attention to the situation of the money market. Not counting this withdrawal, the sub-treasury op- erations and previous transfers and gold exports show losses by banks since the last statement of upwards of $6,- 100000 as against surplus last Satur- day of $3, ,95S, ,425
 There was no relaxation in the Lon don money market to-day, but the pe riod is approaching when the govern ment must begin to disburse recent large collections of revenue. To-day's strong statement of the bank of Frpace, with a further substantial ad- dition to it's already unprecedented gold accumulation suggested frightened re- quirements from that quarter. The future International movement of gold, however, is still in doubt.

Notwithstanding the wet weather there was quite good attendance at this weeks meeting held yesterday and it was most interesting service. Mrs. Laura Steele conducted the devotional service, which was followed by inter- esting exercises in scientific temper ance instruction, which were also con- ducted by Mrs. Steele, who had for the groundwork of her remarks the follow ing: ".The object of temperance edu- cation in the public schools is to re- move entirely the ignorance that leads to the use of alcoholic drinks and other narcotics. All the future men and wo- men of this country should be taught. with the laws of health, the dangerous character and effect of these sub stances, and effect of these substances, and this before the appetite for them is formed
 An experienced teacher said T see in the nature of the children them selves the necessity for careful pro- gressive training in temperance, phy- siology.
