Photographing Interior of Eye.


DIR. Walther Thorner of the University
Eye Clinic in Berlin has devised an an
paratus to obtain good photographs of the
Background OF the eye. DR.. Thorner's con-
trivance constitutes an Improvement of the
ophthalmoscope invented by Helmholtz in
1850. which only admits of looking at the
background of the eye. 1t has been i'm
possible heretofore to photograph the in
terror. II Is difficult to illuminate It suf-
hciently, and even II strong light were used
the exposure would last too long
DR.. Thorner first obtained photographs of
the eyes of cats. but the interior of the
human eye being much darker. 1t required
many improvements before good photo
graphs could be taken. With a soft light
the eye Is first so focused that It's back

plate The plate put in. the camera Is
opened by a special lever. and fiashIight

1t is possible to distinguish healthy eyes
readily from sick ones. the eye of a strongly
short-sighted person being, for instance,
characterized by peculiar ring around the
illuminated center. Oculists may now watch
the gradual progress of eye diseases.

Noise and the Nerves

In the middle of the night, because he
could never obtain quiet at any other time,
and without expecting the impossible or
looking for legislation on a subject which
IS merely OF concern to the community at
large, irrespective of party issues, surely
1t Is not too much to ask that the local an
thorittes shall put their heads together on
this matter and exercise the powers which
they possess. Mr.. Bernard Shaw once ex-
pressed the opinion that it was the state

were the worst offenders-as. for exam

PROMINENT I'm BUSINESS CIRCLES

Noted for His Charity and Greatly Re-

The death of William L. Cherry. senior

cause of death was diabetes, and the end
came at his home. 912 H street northwest,

Mr.. Cherry was born in Georgetown in

on the little billet being found and re-
turned to the address on the plate. If this
were not returned they believed 1t would
be sufficient evidence that the bird would
be still alive. McCarren bet that the plate
would not be returned within that time:
hence he won the bet. The crow was shot
by a farmer boy named Anglers in Holmes
county last week, and the billet returned
to the son of the bettor the elder McCar-
rem having died before he could realize the
proceeds and the satisfaction of winning
his wager. The little billet is highly
priced by the McCarrens as a memento Of
the fathers eccntricity.

ROYAL SPORT OF THE MALAYs.

Game fs to TObOggan Down a Water
 fall Into . Pool Below.
 Malaya Times.
 One of the items on the program of the Governors visit to the Federated Malay States is that of "meng- gelun- chor," or a water sliding game. This Is a tobogganing game which is peculiar to Malays of Perak and is known to be of ancient origin. The game Is ar ranged as follows:
 A party of raJahs and chiefs having decided to indulge in this form of amusment, wran their followers of their intentions. As 1t Is a game which abounds with much merriment and fun, several hundreds of men, wo- men and children soon busy themselves in making preparations for the picnic, which is usually part of the program A spur of hills from where leaps a pool is then selected. On the day appointed all instructed overnight wend their way toward the foot of the hills After climbing up the hills until the pleasure seekers reach great rock on which they can accommodate them- selves comfortable and the business of cooking started by the women folk. The game of meng- -gelunchor then commences. It is to slide, and the game is to "toboggan" down the water fall into the pool below. Little boys top of the fall, sit down on one of the cascades with feet straight out in front of them and with hand on either side to support themselves they glide down the hundred odd feet of night to the valley below.
 They follow each other necessarily. those behind coming on the top of those who have reached the base. The men and lastly the women then join the sliders and the folicsome game soon becames as fast and excitable as on a slider slips. himself. and loses his bal ance. The fun then commences. The frantic attempts made by the awkward slider to grasp hold of something ,his tumbling and pumping as he descends and final plunge into the pool is sight which will provoke laughter from the gravest of judges.
 The exercise is continued till about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, by which time every one is tired and a hungry crowd does Justice to the meal After an hour spent is gossip and smoking, the picnic Is at an end, and the pleas ure seekers return to their homes.
 The novelty and charm of the exer- else Is that there are so few casualties In the game. Beyond a few scratches and bruises. the slider seldom get the least hurt. Most of the sliders are, of course, trained men and used to the game. Sometimes the tough flower sheaths of the Pinang and NibonR palms, called by the natives ''Upeh." are used to help them in the sliding, but they are generally done away with, physical pain being a thing that ex cites little or no sympathy from most Malays. in fact, it Is the marvellous pluck and endurance of the toborean ists that lend an interest to the game of meng-gelunchor.
