Measuring Eve Jumps.

We know that an eye, at ordinary
reading distance, takes in about one
inch of line at a time, and that In
reading a line of an ordinary book the
eye makes five or six (more or less,
according to the length Of the line) dis
tinct jumps. But how many know
what direction the eye takes in making
these jumps? And, as the movements
are so very minute and rapid, how have
they been studied? A very ingenious
means has been employed, as follows:
A beam of light is thrown upon the
cornea of the eye under examination,
and this beam is reflected by the cor
nea on to Photographic plate. AS the
eye moves in reading the reflected beam
also moves, and upon developing the
plate, which is also kept moving, a zig
gag line is found. A study Of such
Photographic tracings shows that the
eyes in turning back to Pick up the
next line have some difficulty in so do
ing.
The longer the line Of print the great
er the effort, and for this reason we
may conclude that narrow line is bet
ter for an eye than a long one, and II
the line be much wider than the ordi-
nary newspaper column there is great
er effort involved.-JeWelers' Circular
Weekly.

UNaIMNED COTTON.
The Much Sought Figures Given Out
to the Public.


to the Public.
Speaker Cannon Friday made pub
lie the census bureau figures on un-
gfnned cotton Immediately after the
house was called to order. The total
amount of unginned cotton shown by
the report Is 250,SS4 bales with 1,643
ginneries unheaSd from. This publ.
cation was in accordance with the
Sims resolution passed by the house
requiring Director North of the cen.
sus bureau to furnish to congress all
data on unginned cotton Of the crop
of 1905 collected before Jan. 16.
An effort was made to have Speak
er Cannon order the report read IN
the house, but he fatty refEsed to do
this, saying the document must pass
through ordinary channels and an.
nounced that he thought the figures
were misInformation, rather than in
formation; that thev were based on
partial returns and Of little value.
The report had not arrived at the
house when the speaker raped for
order. In response to inquiries from
the department. of commerce and Ia
Dor as TO how the report should be
handled be replied that he would turn
it over to the journal clerk and have
it made public through the public do
cument room in case it arrived before
the whole. Otherwise, he said, 1T
must wait until the house came out Of
a committee of the whole as he did
not purpose deviatlng in the least
from the ordinary procedure for the
purpose of publishing figures of inter
est chiefly to speculators.
Officials Of the department OF com.

be responsible for delay and 1T ar
rived In time to be placed In the
speakers charge before the house took

the speaker clerk In the public doc

and newspaper men who were eagerly
awaiting the totals in the report.
Southern members expressed much
dissatisfaction with the. figures and
said they were far from the truth.
Members from the Northern cotton
mill districts were equally harsh in
their criticism of the totals and de-
clared the ginneries unheard from
might make radical difference In

Child MarrIaues In India.

More than 250,000 girls In India, B
years of age or less, were already mar
ried when the last census was taken,
and of these necessarily many have
become widows. Between 5 and 10
years the number of married girls was
well over 100000, between 10 and Is
years it had risen to nearly 100000.
OF course, to the girls in the first two
categories marriage meant nothing
more than a contract entered into for
them by Others long before they them
selves were capable Of understanding
it; many of them had been bound by
engagements when they were still chill
dren in arms; some had even been be-
trothed before they were born.
Most of the widows Of such tender
years become so before they know what
widowhood means. 1t Is only as they
grow out of infancy that they learn the
sad life to which they are condemned,
life of misery which Is inconceiVable
to people Of western countries, yet Is
enforced by Hindoo customs. It Is a
life of hardship, Of unmerited shame, OF
irksome penances and of wearisome at
tendance at religious functions.
Though the English law in India
would recognize the legality Of re-
marriage of these youthful widows, In
exorable custom forbids it and its oc-
currence is rare. There were in India
in 1901 nearly 426, 900 widows under 15
years of age, Of which nearly 10000
were less than 5 years old.
