More Letters Given Out.
Several letters that heretofore have been
carefully kept secret have been made pub
lie. Mr.. Hyde's contribution is the letter
which he wrote to the Equitable directors
on February Is. when the fight for mutual
ization first came officially before the board
At that time the letter was carefully
guarded. and only its general tenor was al
lowed to become known. The letter has a
lengthy history of the Equitable and Mr..
Hyde's position under the terms of his
fathers requests, and in 1t Mr.. Hyde
formally charges President Alexander with
gross breach of trust to my father and
me-"
MI Hyde states that under his fathers
deed of trust a majority of stock was left
to him with Mr. Alexander and General
Fitzgerald, to be held until the son at
tanned the age of thirty years. The letter
thus continues:
Mr.. Alexander is a director of the Equi-
table Society and president of that society
solely by the vote of the stock confided to
his keeping by my father and by virtue of
the trust and confidence which have re-
posed in him, and which was almost an In
heritance from my father.
Charge Of Betrayal.
ION the 9th day of June, 1906, 1 will
have attained (should l live) the age of
thirty years. and will then. subject to my
duty to my fathers expressed wish, have
come into possession of my stock. Thus,
shortly before the expiration of that period,
Mr.. Alexander, owing his existence as a d.
rector and officer of the Equitable Society
to his trust and to the stock confided to
his care, has engaged in secret cabal with
officers under his command, and in many
cases subject to his coercion, to destroy
the value of the subject of his trust and de-
stroy the reputation and future of the ben
eficiary.
The letter closes with Mr.. Hyde's offer to
transfer his stock vote to a board of trus-
tees pending the adjustment of mutual
ization plan.
Alexander's Contribution.
Mr.. Alexander's contribution to the his
tory of the controversy is his letter to the
state superintendent of insurance defining
his position and acquiescing in the COM
promise plan for the naturalization of the
society. 1t Is interesting, In that he de-
clares that his consent was given with re-
luctance because he felt he could not take
the responsibility of rejecting even that
measure of control by the policy holders.
On behalf of Mr.. Hyde a statement was
given out with reference to this letter,
which charges that Mr.. Alexanders action
in this matter was breach of faith.

a Comprehensive Answer.

Dlner-How comes this dead fly
in my soup?
Waiter-In fact, Sir, 7 have no
positive idea how the poor thing
came by its death. Perhaps it had
not taken any food for a long time,
dashed upon the soup, ate too much
of it and contracted an infamma-
ton of the stomach that brought on
death. The fly must have had a
weak constitution, for when I served
up the soup it was dancing merrily
on the surface. Perhaps-and the
idea presents itself only at this mo-
ment-it endeavored to swallow too
large piece of vegetable. This, re-
manning fast in the throat, caused a
choking in the windpipe. These al )

Academy" or ssightseers' head
ache is a not uncommon experience,
and some observations of Simeon
Smell appear to throw some light on
Its causation. Allowing that in car
tain instances astigmatism or other
form OF ametEopia is o factor in its
production, be yet argues that there
are other influencing conditions. in
support of thia he quotes the expert
enee OF o lady vino always suffered
from severe headaches AFTER visiting
the theater when she had occupied q
seat in the pit, but was free from
such disturbance when she sat- in
the dress circle. In the first posi-
tion, it is pointed out, sustained ae-
ton of the elevator muscles of the
eyeballs is required in order to see
The stage, and this is exactly the ac-
ton which is required in studying
g collection Of pictures and more
especially in looking at those which
are hung "aboye the line"
The came experience has been not
cd by Mr.. Smell in the case Of cy-
clists, particularly of those who lean
over the handle bars with the head
lowered and who, therefore, in look
ing ahead keep the eyeballs upward.
a further argument is found in the
experience of miners nystagmus,
which, it is suggested, is due to wea-
riness of the elevator muscles of the
eyeballs, caused by, the constrained
position in which the miner works.
There can be no doubt Of the
physiological fact that lateral move
ment OF the eyeballs is much more
easy and requires less muscular ef-
fort than movement in vertical
plane. All this goes to show that
muscular strain is involved in sus-
tanned upward movement Of the eye
balls and this may well result in q
sense of Reariness or more pro-
nounced discomfort London Hos
