BACKGROUND OF THE EYE.
May Now Be Photographed by Means
Of Invention Important in Field
of Optical Science.

A highly important invention affect
ing optical science in general, and the
further development of the eve spe-
cialist's profession In treating eye dis
eases and faulty vision In particular,
was recently made in Berlin, says the
Jewelers. Circular Weekly. According
to q German exchange, the assistant
of the university clinic of the ROYAL
Charity hospital. DR.. Walther Thorner,
has succeeded in solving a problem
which had received much attention
from many others before him, but with
little or no success. He has managed
to photograph the background of the
eve and obtain good pictures of it, too.
His invention represents a material
improvement on the ophthalmoscope
invented by Helmholtz In 1850. The
latter, however, only admitted of view
ing the background of the eye.
The fact that all attempts to photo
graph the interior or the background
Of the eye had remained fruitless so
far, was due to the peculiar construc-
ton of the eye. 1t is difficult to light up
the interior to such an extent as to
enable one to take a photograph of it.,
aud even in the use of strong sources
Of light the exposure would require so
much time that the eye would have
to be fixed, wlich would mean great in
convenience to the patient. Now DR..
Tforner has constructed an apparatus
with which he first succeeded in photo
graphing the eyes of animals, especial
ly cats.

The first InterschOlaStic contest be-
tween Ely and Eveleth High schools

noon and good attendance and much
enthusiasm was manifest. The pupils

conveyed to their parents and other
spectators. The meet occurred at
the ball park.

Will and Earl Ellsworth, Orlo Owens,
Oscar Hill and Allister Murray with
their coach, L. L. KertlY, and Supt.
Stevens, arrived on Friday evenings

the Ely boys and in fact almost the
entire school. The Eveleth boys
were entertained at the homes of the
Ely members of the association.
A high wind was blowing Saturday
morning and the time made in various
events was not as good as could have
been accomplished. However, every
one was satisfied. Those of the Ely

Retain Rod Market.

The United States Steel Corporation
by their contracts with the nail
manufacturers Of Canada, will retain
he rod market of the Dominion Iron
& Steel Company at Sydney, says
dispatch from Montreal. BY the con-
tract with the United States Steel
Corporation the Canadian nall manu-
facturers agree to get all their rods
supplies from, and in return the I'm
tied States Steel Corporation agree
not to enter the Canadian nail market
The nail manufacturers say that they
had to agree to such contract be-
cause, even if they could get their rods
at just low price from the Dominion
Iron & Steel Company. the United
States Steel could come into the Cam
adian nail market and undersell them.
The only part of the Canadian rod
market that the Dominion company
are sure of securing is that of the
maritime provinces.

Mining Under The Lakes.

One of the most important litigat-
ions that is now before our courts is
that which is to determine whether
or not the state o. Minnesota may
give leases and contracts for mining
work under the lakes on the iron
ranges. In the case Of Minnesota ex,
rel, Richard F. Grant VS.. Samuel
G. Iverson, state land commission, it
is contended that the lands lying be-
meath these waters belonging to the
state, and that the state has the au-
thority to lease them for mining pur-
poses, the same as any other state
lands. 1t is shown that number Of
other states are making leases of
such lands for mining purposes. In
this action Il number of riparian OWN
ers have intervencd and have been
allowed to file briefs.
The Importance of this litigation
is readily perceived. If the state
may make such miuing leases, it will.

them, and mining industry, thus en-
ploying great number of men.
It is of great Importance that this
litigation be carried as speedily as is
practicable to a conclusion. 1t is the
contention of the attorney general
that the remedy of certiorari invoked
in this case is not the proper one, the
objection being merely technical; but
it is claimed on tile other hand that
the case of the Minnesota Sugar Co.
vs.. Iverson, meets and overthrows
this objection,
1t is to be hoped that this litigation
may not be prolonged. 1t is import
ant to the state, to the riparian
owners and to the mining industry
of Minnesota that final judgment NAV
be speedily reached:-News-Tribune.

To Prevent Fires.

Commissioner w. A. Richards of
the general land office has issued cir
culars warning the public against
carelessness. inasmuch as many fires
start from neglected camp fires, and
makes the following requisites:
1. Do not build a larger fire than
you need.
2. Do not build your fires in dense
masses of pine leaves, duff and other
combustable material, where the fire
is sure to spread.
8. Do not build your fire against
large logs, especially rotten logs.
where it requires much more work
and time to put out the fire than you
are willing to expend. and where you
are rarely quite certain that the fire
is really and completely extinguish-
ed.
4. In windy weather and in dam
gerous places dig hole and clear
off place to secure your fire. You
would save wood and trouble.
5. Every camp fire should be put
completely out before leaving the
camp.
6, Do not build fires to clear off
land and other similar purposes with
out informing the nearest ranger OF
the supervisor, so that he may assist
you.

Wolf Season Ends.

One of the most successful wolfkill-
ing seasons for st. Louis county has
closed. A total Of ninety-four has
been slain since the beginning Of the
season in October. Although it Is
possible that few more may be
added to the spoils of the year, it is
shown by the records that few are
killed after June L.
The records of bounties paid during
the year in the county auditors Office
present several interesting features.
1t shows that nearly all the female
wolves were killed in tile late fall and
during the winter, while the killing
of the males was essentially confined
to the spring months. or the total
number of wolves killed since last
October, the number Of females was
fifty-four, as against forty males.
The largest number of wolves killed
in one month was twenty-six in Janu-
airy. February comes next with twenty
three; April third with eighteen and
December fourth with seventeen.
During the season of 1903 the wolf
bounty, up to May. was considerably
higher than has been paid since, an
average of S25 being paid for full
grown wolf. where only SIS is now paid
A little more than $1,000 was paid in
bounties during the season. This
sum includes the smaller bounties of
the cubs. OF this amount the state
has paid 1868 and the county of st.
Louis an equal sum.
1t is said that there have been more
wolves in the vicinity of the settle
ments and the smaller towns than, in
previous years, and this explains the
fact that the number OF wolves killed
has been larger since the bounty was
reduced by the state legislature.
The wolves have been a great annoy.
ance in some localities, owing to their
great numbers and their boldness, and
extinction has been rather a matter
of necessity than gain.

During the holding of this assem-

upon, of vital Importance to the
general public. among them will be:
"The relation of mining to the
general industries of the country"
"The creation by government of an
Independent Department of Mines
and Mining. whose secretary shall be
a member of the cabinet of the Presi-
dent of the United States"
The recodification Of our mining

"The permanent location of nation.

THE great benefits that will be de-
rived by the nation from making the

These subjects are of national in
terest, and will be presented and dis
cussed by gentlemen of great national
reputation.
The question~of permanent locat-
ion, national headquarters, American
Mining Congress, is one that has al
ready enlisted the active interest of
several enterprising cities, especially
that of the City of Denver, Colo.

The Old Story.

The break in the Masters and Pilots
association on tile lakes, by which
some boats are beginning to go out,
will be welcomed by millions of people
who know little and care less about
the matter in dispute between these
men and their employers. Their con-
troversy has effectively tied up freight
traffic on the great lakes temporarily;
and threatened, if continued, TO
demoralize the tsssiness of a large
section of the country.
Considering but the single item of
coal, which is shipped by the lake
route during the summer months for
the whole northwest, it has appeared
that the consequences of this strike
might be almost as disastrous as those
of the great coal strike two years ago.
To ship this fuel by rail would not
only add greatly to its price, but
would be impracticable because suf-
fcient rolling stock could not be
found. The equipment of the rail-
roads is adequate for little more than
their ordinary business. Therefore,
traffic would have been cOngested and
the fuel supply of the northwest
would have been entirely deficient if
this trouble were prolonged. The
effect upon shipments in the other
direction, especially upon the wheat
movement, would have been equally
serious and would have spread itself
over two continents.
1t is the old story of the absurdity
of permitting squabble over wages
and hours between a comparatively
small number of people to affect dis
astrously the interests of common
wealths and nations. Because the
masters and pilots took one view Of
their rights and the vessel owners
another, therefore tens of millions of
dollars are to be paid by the growers
Of wheat, by the consumers Of bread
and by the users of fuel, thousands of
miles away. Because they chose to
fight it out stubbornly, all these mil
lions of people are to make these i'm
mense sacrifices in cause in which
they have no interest whatever, and
a controversy where they have no
power to intervene.
OF course the moral responsibility
rests first of all with the dlsputants.
There ought to be moral sense in
every community that would make 1t
impossible for any organization,
either of employers or of labor, to
impose such hardships upon the pub
lie and bring loss and suffering and
ruin to innocent people as an aid to
the settlement of their own differ
ences or the fixing Of wage scale.
Labor and capital ought both to des-
pise and reject this method Of getting
at an agreement at the expense of the
public, as much and as contemporary
as they would proposal that they
club together, knock down Il few
people on the street and go through
their pockets.
While organizations, whether laboi
or capitalIstic, are learning this les
son, public opinion condemniIg
strikes, especially where they affet
the production or transportation OF
the necessaries of life, ought to De-
come so intense that no one void
dare make stand against it. Wedo
mot believe in compulsory arbitration.

Fayal Shippers Strike.

About 400 men of the Drake &
Stratton company at the Fayal mine
went on strike Wednesday. The
company had announced reduction
in wages from $1,75 to SLIGO and the
men would not stand for cut. The
Fayal stripping has been great help
to Eveleth.
