QUEER OLD RUSSIA.
The Firing of Moscow In the Time of
Ivan the Terrible,

The Firing of Moscow In the Time of
Ivan the Terrible,
One who Travelled through Russia In
1893 wrote in Latin an interesting ac-
count of what he saw. This was aft
erward translated into English in part
as follows: The MuscOvites are gener-
ally of Il very strong constitution, both
very tall and bulky. Above one-half 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 toward vegetarianlsm, for he
added, This is an evident sign of their
natural vigor, though it must also be
allowed that they promote the digestion
by the brandy and leeEs which they
use in large quantities, and questionless
correct the viscous humors arising in
the stomach by such indigestible nour-
ishments."
Giles Fletcher, an English traveller,
saw Moscow fired by an army of Tar
tars in 1911 in the absence of Car
Ivan the Terrible. He writes, "There
was nothing but whirlwlnds and such
noise as 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
He asserts that "there perished at
that time by the fire and the press the
number OF 100000 people or more"
This estimate, of course, was excessive
AS means of getting rid of the dead
bodies, says Fletcher, the Gar Ivan
ordered them on his return to be
thrown into the Moskva, and the
corpses damned the deep and rapid
river and caused it to overflow its
banks.

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

Outside the Socket.
AS early as 800 Il. C. artificial eyes
were made by the priests of Rome and
Egypt, who practiccd us physicians and
surgeons Their methods of ere maxi
ing are thus described: On stip OF
flesh tinted linen, two and quarter
by one and quarter inches, the flat
side of piece of earthenware, model
ed life size and painted to represent
the human eye and eyelids. was ce-
mented. This linen, coated on the 9th
cr side with some adhesive substance,
was placed over the eyehole and press
cd 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 in 20 \. H., an eye of this
description was discovered.
Not until the sixteenth century do
we hear of eyes Mt 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 an oval plate covered with
soft leather, on which an eye was
painted. 1t was attached TO the head
by n strong steel band. 1t could have
been neither slightly nor comfortable.
The second device and the first known
in history to be worn inside the socket
consisted of a hollow globe Of gold
deftly enamelcd. The third eye devised
by this ingenious gentleman was a
shell pattern eye, much like that in
use today, except that 1t was of gold
and enamel
Pare's inventions were followed by
eyes Of painted porcclains and colored
pearl white, which became very pop
ular. They We're succeeded by eyes of
glass, which soon took the place of all
others and command popular favor to
this day.
Glass eyes We're invented about the
year 1879 and were crude productions
| of inferior workmanship, the iris and
pupil being hand painted in a far
| from lifelike manner. Shakespeare
mentions glass eyes in King Lear
where the king advises the blinded
tra tor Gloucester TO get thee glass
eyes and seem TO see"

The Three Lucky Elements That Are
Associated In Thorn.

The Three Lucky Elements That Are
Associated In Then.
The superstition that associates the
horseshoe with good luck is very old
1t is said TO prevail not only among
English speaking people, but in all the
races of Europe and in southern Asia
Antiquarians are undecided whether
its origin has to do with the material
from which the horseshoe is made or
with its shape.
The ancients believed that iron as a
metal had great secret powers, and
they drove nails into their walls as a
protection against pestilence. The
Arabs when overtaken by severe storms
in the desert cry out, "Iron. iron!"
which they think will propitiate the
evil spirits which have raised the
storm. The Scandinavians have held
from time immemorial the idea that it
was lucky to find piece of iron.
AS regards the form of the horseshoe,
there is no doubt that among the an
clients the crescent form was much fa-
vored as having lucky or preservahve
powers. Ornaments were shaped in
this way to drive away evil spirits.
The Chinese have their tombs built in
semicircular form, like horseshoe,
and the Moors use the same form in
their architecture.
1t may be remarked that in the my
thology of Europe horses were also re-
garded as luck bearers, and supersti'
tion once supposed that horses hoof
placed under the bed would cure Ger.
tain complaints. The horseshoe there
fore may be said to unite within itself
three lucky elements-lt is in the shape
of crescent, it is made of iron, and II
has been taken from horse.
