The Right of Way.

In the early DAYS OF western railway
building. days not 50 long gone by as
10 be out OF memory. there were many
exciting races between rival roads Tor
the uossesslon OF important mountain
passes. Such a race says the World
Work. was that between the Santa re
xnd the KIo Grande roads. for the right
OF way through Ration pass to New
Mexico and the southwest.
Engineers and construction gangs
worked 10 mad haste to get to IT ahead
Of their rivals. The victory fell to the

wonders of the Eye.

Viewed as an optical instrument, the
human eye may well be called perfect,
for 1t is an apparatus contained IN a
globe less than an inch In diameter, In
which is produced an image practically
perfect In form and color and which
can be accurately adjusted almost in
stantly for every distance from five
inches to infinity, which is movable In
every direction, has an area small
enough for the detection Of the most
minute details and at the same time
large enough for the appreciation OF
large objects, and which enables us TO
see ali shades Of color and TO estimate
distance, solidity, and, to some extent,
the consistency Of objects, and yet this
wonderful instrument, perhaps the
most varied in Its capabilities OF any
part of the body, Is persistently mis-
used and neglected. Is II any wonder
that some day nature resents this treat
ment and leaves the offenders in total
and perpetual blindness?
