THE SENSE or SIGHT.

Like every other sense, that of sight improves by use under healthy condi- tions, and therefore the people who have the greatest exercise of their. vision in the open air under the light of the sun have the best eyesight. Generally speaking, savage tribes pos sess the keenest eyesight, acquired through hunting. Natives of the Sol omon islands are very quick at pre- ceiving distant objects, such as ships, at sea, and will pick out birds con cealed in dense foliage some sixty or seventy feet high. Shepherds and sailors are blessed with good sight.
 Eskimos will detect a white fox in the snow great distance away, while the Arabs of the deserts of Arabia have such extreme powers of vision that on the vast plains of the desert they will pick out objects invisible to the ordinary eye at ranges from one to ten miles distant. Among civilized people the Norweg1ans have better eyesight than most, If not all others, as they more generally fulfill the nee essary conditions. The reason why defective eyes are so much on the in- crease in this country and in Europe lies in too much study of books in early. life and in. badly, lighted ro0mss

and the rest all the way down to $2,219
 the average enjoyed by the United
 States and $2,1 ,184 by the Austria Hun gary roads. Owing presumably to the
 lighter passenger traffic of the United
 States, our railroads received a greater passenger revenue per passenger mile than the roads of any other country. The average rate in France, 1.52; In Switzerland, LAS; in Bavaria, 1.21; Holland, 1.19; Baden, 1.16; Germany, 1.024; Prussia, 0.9S6; Austria Hungary, 0,909; and Belgium, O767. Despite the higher rates the average distance travelled by the passengers on Ameri- can roads was 2S.6S miles, while in for eign countries are reversed in many particulars from those shown by the passenger traffic. In ton miles Alsace- Lorraine stands first with 909,067 ton miles per mile of road, Prussia second with 773,5 ,5S6, the United States third
 with 760,414, and the rest down to Holland with 371, ,5oO. While the rail- ways of the United States stand first in the average amount charged per mile for passenger service, they are last on the list when 1t comes to freight rate charges Switzerland was first, where the freight revenue per ton mdle was 2.6S cents; France second with IS; Bavaria third with 1,46; Austria
 Hungary next with LA, and then come Germany, Al; Prussia, 1.38; Ba- den, 1.25; Holland, 1.19, and the United States, where the charge was only OTIS of cent per ton of freight hauled one mide. Although interesting, averages are valuable only as such and do not tell fully of conditions, which some times change the view that should be taken regarding them.

The Journal of the German Railway Officials association has presented a
 careful comparison of operations of the railways of the leading countries for the year 1901. The tables give com prehensive and interesting view of the varying policies governing freight and passenger traffic and also illustrate many of the pecuMarities of the various railway systems. Regarding the rela- tive density of railroads it is shown thattle United States has 2552 miles to every 10000 inhabitants, France TAG, and the others from that down to 3.T9. Notwithstanding this, Belgium has 22 miles of road to every 100 square miles of territory, Saxony 1922 and Baden 14.5 while the United States is twelfth in the list with only 6.64, and Austria, Hungary last with 5.2 miles. As indicating how highly passenger traffic is developed in foreign countries, 1t Is shown that the Belgium railway ran 67S,891 passenger miles per mile of track, and the rest had all the way down to So, ,T21 miles, the record made by the railways of this country. Upon the same point it is shown that the passenger revenue of the roads of the United Kingdom aver aged $10050 per mile, Baden, 1860,

The whole Roosevelt administration seems saturated with the idea that a ship subsidy bill must be forced through congress. The latest high of, fic;aI to attempt to coerce congress is Robert B Armstrong, assistant secre- tory Of the treasury. While Secretary Shaw and others of the cabinet Lave yelled their desire for this robbery of the people for the ship trust, they are quite as strongly for ship subsidy, or their under strappers would not be declaring for it. The occasion taken by MT Armstrong to inoculate others with this republican policy of sub- sidy was the national convention Of the American institute of bank clerks, held at St Louis, August 25. He de- clared that the upbuilding of the mer- ohaut marine was worthy of the best thought and activity of his hearers, and further said: "Just why some of the American people objected to gov ernment assistance in supplying American rolling stock for highway of commerce that has been in eSist- ence since creation. am unable to un- derstand. They had not objected seri- ously or successfully against govern ment aid to the trapscontinental rall. roads, and he asked why they should protest when it is suggested that the government help place upon the bosom of the sea ships that fly tho American flag So we may expect if Mir Roosevelt and republican con gress is elected, to see strong pressure brought to bear upon congress to load up the people with an enormous tax for Morgan and his steamship trust

During the past week or ten days the market resumed much of it's for, mer activity, transactions running into the neighborhood of a million shares day, says Banker Henry Clews. This activity could hardly be attributed to outside buying, for while the public has been operating with rather more freedom than of late the bulk of buy ing and selling was for professional account, and unquestionably has strong banking support. The market is consequently still in competent hands and controlled by the big lead. CTS who have plenty of stocks to sell, and who would probably like to put themselves in good shape to handle some of the important new issues which are known to be in contempla- tion and which have been held in abey- ance since the setback of 1908. If the investment demand proves sufficient to relieve the market of its present surplus, of securities all will go well and the upward movement many con. tinue For once self-lnterest has brought all the market leaders into harmony, and, as there are no dls- tnrbing deals on hand to threaten the entente, the prospect is fair for their holding together until the buying power seems exhausted. At the mo- ment the buying power is improving. Large sums have gone into bonds and high class investments and public con fidence is growing at a pace which suggests more activity in general speculation. In short, the market is in excellent technical condition, and 1t is likely to go still higher provided the big insiders hold together and pro. vtded there are no untoward disasters to interfere; but hereafter the fiuctu- ations will be wide and frequent, ad- hitting of profitable quick turns and making it the safer way to operate from now onward.

CHANGE FOR MASS MEETING
It Will be Held in Doris Tkea:e. In.
 stead of at Plaza.

The Tonto road campaign committee met yesterday and decided that the mass meeting tc be held next Tuesday evening should be in the Doris thea ter instead Of at the City Hall plaza as had been previously planned. The change was made because of the un- certainty of the weather and also be- cause of the greater conveniences at the theater and the fact that it will be easier to hear the speakers.
 The committee is planning to make the meeting a great success. It is to be called to CrdsT promptly at 730 but previous to that time the Pioneer band will give a concert in front of the theater and there will be music throughout the evening.
 Invitations have been sent to the mayor and cCuncilmen of Tempe and likewise cf Mesa to attend the meeting and for the accommodation of the residents Of those two towns who de- sire to attend the meeting the Mari cCpa and Phoenix railroad will run a special train, leaving Tempe and Mesa in time tc reach this city before the opening of the meeting and returning after the meeting. special rate will be charged for the trip.
 In discussing the meeting yesterday the committeeman said they desired it understood that all were to be welcome and especially those who for one req son or another oppose the proposed is sue of bonds for the construction of the TontC road. If the opposers will come to the meeting. the committee desires that they enter into the discus sion or at least ask questions. thus bringing out all sides of the question and giving the committee an .opportun- ity tc correct mistaken ideas or theor- ieS
 The financial committee which has been soliciting funds to defray the ex- penses of the campaign, completed it's work yesterday, having secured $500, which, it is believed, will be ample to meet all requirements.
 Reports from the registration clerks show that the registration is proceed ing rapidly and that fully 5G1 persons have signed the roll.

Japanese Physical Culture.

] It is said by many ob5ervant tray- elers and a number of special foreign investigators who have studied the matter that the Japanese. in conse- ouence of their peculiar and superlo' system of physical exercise. have be come the healthiest and strongest-men in the world. and have attained the highest form of perfection that is capable of being reached by the human. body. This is due to their exact scientific methods of training, disci- pline. simplicity of diet and exercise in the fresh air instead of the polluted atmosphere of the gymnasium. Little or no apparatus is used in their out door work. Muscle pitted against muscle is the keynote of their scheme Of training. and the devlopment of the lower extremities, the loins and thighs, said to be the natural seat of strength, receives special attention, supplement- ed by that Of the forearm. By this plan any and almost every muscle of the body can be exercised and developed.
 One of the favorite and most ef- ficient exercises for the arm which IS specially required in the military is the open air fencing bout, with long lances of bamboo. The face and upper part of the body during these con- tests are protected, the head, by a long, flowing hood. the front being supplied with a metal screen. shielding the wearer's face from the thrust of his opponents lance. Dexterously tu knock the lance from the grasp of the other, and at the same time to finish the feat by throwing him to the groanG-which requires a light wrest- ling match and exercise of muscular strenSth-is the desired goal of the fence. These and all other contests are entered into with an equanimity of temper and a pleasant manner which are kept rp to the end and are important elements in developing the national character

THE RoARKE ESTATE
What Is Left of It Is About To Be Set-
 tied Up.

The estate of James Roarke is now in sight of a settlement. The hearing of the objections to the final report of the administrator O. H. Christy was concluded yesterday and the report was approved by the probate court ex- cept in the matter of the commissions
 It was decided to let that gn until the distribution of the estate. There are two claims for commissions amounting in all to about S2,000. There are also conflicting claims. Some of these put into the final report are claimed by the former administratrix of the es- tate. Mrs. Cora Franklin. Then there are the claims of both the administra- tor and his predecessor to which ob- Jection is made by the heirs There was claim against the estate by Col
 William Christy growing out of part nership in some cattle. Roarke's
