QUEER OLD RUSSIA.

The FiFing OF Moscow I'm the Time OF
Ivan the TerEib1e.
One who Travelled through Russia In
1G0S wrote In Latin an interesting ac-
count Of what he saw. This was oft
erward translated lntn English in part
as follows: "The Muscovites are gener-
ally Of very strong constitution. both
very tall and bulky. Above one-ha1f Of
the year is taken up with their fasts,
when the common people feed upon
nothing else but cabbage and cucum-
bers, and these raw, only picked" The
writer, Henry William Ludolf, has
leanings trTard vegetarlanism, for he
added, tThis is an evident sign Of their
natural vigor, though It must also be
allowed that they promote the dif ,stion
by the brandy and leeks which they
use in large quantities, and questionless
correct the yiscous humors arising III
the stomach by such inuigestible nour-
fshments" - ~. -.,..-s. -. -
Giles Fletcher, IN English traveller.
saw Moscow fired by an army of Tar
tars In 4571 in the absence of Car
& Ivan the Terrible. He. writes, 'There
was nothing but whirlwinds and such
q, noise rs though the heavens would
!, have fallen" According to Fletcher,
numerous persons were: burned to
death, while crowds struggling to es-
cape from the flames met, and the ensu-
ing crush resulted in thousands of fa-
talities. ~ : 4.J ::;s : -.

TINT time by the fire and the. press the
number; Of, 800, 900. people. OF more"
This estimate, ofcourse. was excessive.
As; a means Of getting rid OF the dead
bodies. says Fletcher. the Czar Ivan
ordered them s. ..s.s be + return 10 be

There are some literal minded per-
sons who are never satisfied with the
spirit Of the law; but who. consider 1t
necessary to enter. into compromises

many years: ago, and his Juggling with
his conscience is recorded by Mr..
Lord II the records of the town. -. -. !,

never went back on his exact word,

ARTIFICIAL EYES.
Tho First Ones Made Were Worn
Outside the Socket.

Tho First Ones Made Were Worn
Outside the Socket.
. AS earlyYas GOO e. G.. artificial eyes
were made by the priests of Rome and
Egypt, who prncticed as physicians and
surgeons. Their methods Of eve MAX
Ing are thus described: On d strip OF
hesh tinted linen, two and quarter
by one and quarter inches, the Hat
side Of O piece Of earthenware, model
ed life size and painted to represent
the human eye and eyeiids, was ce-
mented. This linen, coated OH the 9TH
er side with some adhesive substance,
was placed over the eyehele and press
ed down. In brief, the artificial eye
was worn outside the socket and,
though clumsy substitute, was prob
ably appreciated by the Romans and
Egyptians. In the ruins OF Pompeii,
destroyed Ia 10 A. D., an eye Of this
description was discovered.
Not until the sixteenth century do
we hear Of eyes at all like those Of
today-that Is, worn inside the socket.
a French surgeon, one Ambrose Pare,
invented three artificial eyes. One con-
sisted Of Oh oval plate covered with
soft leather, on which an eye wa;
painted. It was attached to the head
by q strong steel band. It could have
been neither slightly nor comfortable.
The second device and the first known
In history to be worn inside the socket
consisted Of hollow globe Of gold
deftiy enameled. The third eye devised
by this ingenious gentleman was n
shell pattern eye, much like that in
use today, except TINT it was of gold
and enamel.
PaEe's inventions were followed by
eyes OF painted porcelains and colored
pearl white, which became very pop
ular. They were succeeded by eyes Of
glass, which soon took the place Of oil
others and conmund popular favor to
this day.
Glass eyes were invented about the
year 1870 and were crude productions
Of inferior workmanship, the iris and
pupil being hand painted In q far
from llfelike manner. Shakespeare
mentions glass eyes in "King Lear"
where the king advises the blinded
traitor Gloucester to '"get thee glass
eyes and seem to see."

Donble Flowers;

h Nearly all the double flowers Of, gar.
.dens were first found Wild. Doubio
,buttercups, double primroses, double
dnisles, double roses and many other
things were first discovered among
their Wild fellows and introduced into
the gardens. :, The florist, however, cnn
produce double flowers. He watches
this tendency in nature. If a flower
usually has five petals, and he: dis.
covers that some Of the :stamens have
somewhat Of a petai-llke character, the
pollen is taken from these flowers and
others in normal condition fertilized
with this pollen. The. tendency, once
started, is then given to the progeny.
Almost any species Of plant will in this
way be capable Of producing double
foWers. It .is surprising that. with this
knowledge, more attempts at this line
OF Improvement In ordinary garden
flowers arc not made. %z ::.' ."::%:: -. -. T.

Hugh Bonner,
The Veteran
Fire Fighter
IId AHERE have been great changes
IN tho city Of Manila since the
EA er0 of Qpo pioh oooupo<toD npa

y rIIAHERE have been great changes
ID IN tho city Of Manila since the
il era OF Spanish occupation. One
OF the institutions established
by Americans that have earned popu-
tarlty is the fire department. Much Of
the efficiency which the Manila fra
nghtera have attained Ia due to the
work OF that veteran fireman, Hugh
bonner. who was recently appointed
deputy fire commissioner Of New York
city for the borough Of Manhattan. It
has been sa!d that Bonner comes near
er to being the embodiment Of the story
book lire fighter than any other living
man. He is siNtysix years Of age, and
when he was Il youth fire fighting was
not IN occupation of itself. Even the
city Of New York, his birthplace
had 10 paid fire department. Bonner
learned the tinsirith's trade is n YOUNG
man, but rs n boy he always ran With
the engines when fire was to he put
out, and as soon as he was old enough
he Joined O volunteer company and
rose to be q captain In the volunteer
department. While he was fighting a
nre with his company one day he and
Ills men were notified that they had
been made members Of the newly or.
ganized paid department. He continu.
ed IN the service about thirty-flve years
and for over ten years was chief of the
department, raising it to q state OF
efficiency that made 1t famous the
world over. About a half dozen years
ago he resigned and was commissioned
shortly afterward to go to Manila and
undertake the establishment Of Ameri.
can methods Of fire fighting In the cap.
ital Of the Philippines.
During the 800 years or so that the
dons ruled IN Maniln they had not
done much toward establishing n fire
department. In n city Of nenrly 3OO,.
600 people there were only n few an.
uquated hand engines manned by vol.
unteers. All this has been changed

HUGH BONNER AND MANILA METHODS De-
FORE HE IMPROVED THEM.
by the work Bonner did In his etny
OF from two to three years in the city.
Teday the are department is the pet
OF property owners, who no longer
watch in blank despair the burning Of
their buildings when a FIRE breaks out.
There are over 150 paid men in the de-
pnrtment, About 3b per- cent Of the
force are natives, but tho officers are
Americans, and many Of the officers
and men are former United States sol-
diers, fact which makes for good dis
cipline. There are fire houses, steam
and chemical. engines and all other ap-
purtenances OF an up to date depart
ment. TIC a1Stt tins that Bonner anI
his new service We're called on to at
tend fire In Manila there was great
excitement in the Philippine city. A
blaze mad started in the store Of q mer-
chant on the Escolta, the leading
street. Shopkeepers by the hundred
ran out into tho street, fearing that
their stocks Of goods would be consum-
ed. Amid a changing Of strange bells
and clatter Of hoofs the new firemen
made record In reaching tho scene.
They obeyed their orders like soldiers,
tho IRE was put out In less than half
an hour, and Manila did not get over
the sensation In q week.
One time when Bonner was chief Of
the New York fire department fire
broke out on election night on Broad
way. A force Of thirty men were on
the fourth and fifth floors Of the burn
ing building pouring water on the
flames when tbs wall on one side Of the
structure from the roof to the pave
ment fell outward. There was q whirl-
wind Of fame and smoke, and the men
at work in the building fighting the fire
prepared to jump to the ground, think
ing that otherwise they would be bur-
ted in the ruins. The windows were
lined with men ready to leap to fate
that might be death. Bonner is noted
for his knowledge Of the construction
Of Buildings. He knew that though one
wall had fallen out the others would
probably stand. So he shouted to the
panic stricken men:
~Stay where you are. You're oil
right" The men had so much conf
dence In his Judgment and were under
such good discipline that they obeyed,
end thus their lives were saved.

The fact Of being a minor does NOT

to cease firing. Before Munford and
