delegation entered a formal protest
against such an enforcement OF inc
Chinese exclusion laws as might imperil
the export trade OF this country Win
China. It was pointed out that the COM
mcrcial organizations of CHINA were
thrca tcning to boycott American made
goods, especially cotton and steel pro-
ducts. unless arrangements were mnde
whereby Chinese merchants. students,
literary men and travellers could enter
the United States without the serious
difficulty which they now encounter. The
Chinese urge that members of the classes,
which, under our exclusion laws are per-
mitted to enter the United States are Of
ten subjected to Inconvenience and hu-1
initiation by tho immigration officers and
they insist upon more liberal treatment
Of the exempt classes Of their country
men. The delegation was headed by
John Foord, of New York, secretary Of
the American Asiatic Association.
President Roosevelt responded corllal-
~ He took exception to the intimntion
that the immigration officers were too in

The First WCanard.o

The first use Of the word canard
(meaning duck) in the sense of hoax
is attributed to Norbert Cornelissen,
who. to give sly hit at the ridiculous
pieces Of intelligence In public journals,
circulated the report that an interesting
experiment had just been made calcu-
lated to prove the extraordinary vorac-
ity Of ducks. Twenty were placed to
gether, and then one Of them was kiIl-
ed and cut up into pieces, feathers ana
all and thrown to the other nineteen,
VINO greedily devoured It. The process
was repeated until. as was averred. the
last duck had eaten the whole of his
nineteen companions. The story ran
the round Of all the journals In Europe
and 80 established the Appropriateness
OF the term canard for hoax.

The Black of the Eye.

The invariable blackness Of the pupil
OF the eye was a puzzle to scientific
men until Professor Helmholtz showed
It to be the necessary effect of refrac-
ton. Sufficient rays are reelected, from
the bottom of the eye to rende, visible
the parts there situated, but since these
reflected rays in emerging from the
eye must traverse the same ocula
media through which they passed In
entering the eye 1t is evident that they
must undergo the. same refraction
which they underwent as entering rays,
only in an opposite direction. The re-
suit Of this is that the paths Of the
emerging and entering rays coincide,
and the former will therefore return to
the source whence as incidental rays
they originally started. There Is moth
ing in the pupil to reflect light--in fact,
1t resembles window looking into q
dark room.
