Language of Re Eyes

Gray eyes which turn green with an
ger or excitement show that their
possessor has a choleric temperament.
The white of the eyes showing be-
meath the iris denotes cool deIbera-
ton, while those in which the upper
lid passes horizontally across the pu-
pill tell Of decided mental ability.
Eyes with long sharp corners indi-
cate great discernment and penetra-
ton.
A melancholy temperament and blue
eyes are a conjunction scarcely ever
TO be met with.
Brown eyes are said to b. the
strongest, though again, those very
pale blue eyes are the ones having
mesmeric power.
Never trust a person who looks at
you out Of the sides Of their eyes; of
course. I mean habitually. and not

Upturned eyes are typical Of devo-
ton, and wide open orbs tell us that
their owner is OF a rash disposition.
Perhaps the most beautiful color for
eyes is that Of violet, a tint seen fairly
often in the eyes Of young children
and kittens, but seldom preserved in
mature years, though Irish people
have more than their share Of this

probably about 30 pounds and whose
extended wings measured about 20

pounds and spread Of wing OF ia

is this birds power OF progression by
mysterious soaring that a tagged in
dividuaI has been known TO traverse
at least $3.50 miles in twelve days.
Whether the pterodactyl represents
the extreme possible limit OF weight

OF 81 square feet, weight OF 30
