THE FARMERS MAIL.


The cities of the country, big and
little, in which there is free mail de-
livery represent proportion of the
country's wealth and population which
is vastly in excess of those of the
rural districts now served by free
mail delivery, ana yet the country
will presently be paying nearly $6,-
600, 900 a year more to give this linn
tied portion of the agricultural popu-
lation it's letters and papers than 1t
pays to deliver all the city mail in
the land, the latter being, it is need
less to say, greatly in excess, in bulk
and value, of the rural mail, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Cheaper postage and the extension of
the parcel delivery system apparently
await the time when Uncle Sam shall
have undertaken to serve every one
of his children, no matter how far up
the creek or over the range he may
live, with his daily mail-for by the
time the country people get thoroughly
accustomed to the carriers visits it
is fair to assume that they will ac-
quire the habit of writing letters and
will decide that they must have
daily paper instead of weekly. Ru-
raj free delivery is making great
changes in the customs of the people,
and these changes are all toward as
similation to a common standard of
culture.

STUDYING EYES OF ANIMALS
Results of Recent Investigations by
British Scientist.

Results of Recent Investigations by
a British Scientist.
For some years past the eminent
British opthalomologist, DIR. Lindsay
Johnson, has been investigating the
eyes of animals, and has made some
valuable discoveries of great interest
to zoology and our knowledge of the
evolution of various animals.
One ofthe most remarkable of these
researches, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, is confirmation of Darwin's the
oTy that man is closely related to the
primates. From his Investigations DR..
Johnson has found that the eyes OF all
apes, including man, are practically
identical. Each has the highly COM
plex system of veins and arteries, and
the direct or parallel vision.
According TO this authority, the dog
has two ancestors, one round-eysd
and the oval-eyed. The first is the
hyena and the latter the bear through
the raccoon. All animals exposed to
chase by enemies, such as the hare,
rabbit and squirrel. can see all around,
and all the rodendia squint.
The lower an animal in the scale,
the further is its eye from the par
allel of vision. According to this au-
thority. also. the corpus niger, or

1t is a misfortune of humanity that

party is free to withdraw, but far too

GREAT UNREST
Caused Among Peasants and Work
ingmen in Russia at Cars
Action,

London, May 23.-The Standards 81.
Petersburg correspondent writes that
the Russian Democrats and the lead
ers Of the peasants are putting for
ward a detailed agrarian program as
the most advantageous battle ground
on which the duma and the czar may
settle their differences.
The Conservatives are declaring
that the downfall of either the bu-
reaucracy or the duma viii precipi-
tate a rising that will make the whole
empire tremble.
The uncertainty of the situation has
led to great unrest among the peas
ants and workinSmen who have been
incited to believe that the czar after
being forced to permit the establish
ment of the duma is now about to
dissolve it and the mutterings have
become SO ominous and widespread
that the government is hurrying troops
and ammunition to the large towns
throughout the Baltic region, where
unrest is most rife just now. These
towns are being flooded with infant
ry and artillery.
