Its Origin One OF the Unsolved Enig-

The origin of Egyptian civilization
has been the enigma of the world for
the past twenty centuries. Pre-
senting no historic or even mythic In
fancy, It appears before the world al
once as a highly, civilized and organic
community centuries before Moses was
boy. Upon this subject Renan says

ARTIFICIAL, EYES.

The First Ones Matle Were Worn 4
~ Outside the Socket. ~.
As early as 500 B. C. artificial eyes
We're made by the priests of Rome and
Egypt, who practiced as physicians and
surgeons. Their methods of eye max
ing are thus described: On strip of
flesh tinted linen, two and a quarter
by one and a quarter inches, the nat
side of piece of earthenware, model
ed life size and painted to represent
the human eye and eyeiids, was ce-
.mented. This linen. coated ON the 9TH
ger side with some adhesive substance,
was placed over the eyehole 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 in 70 A.. D., an eye of this
description was discovered: &. Il 3t 81. s y
Not until the sixteenth century do
we hear OF eyes at all like those of
today--t1lat 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. II was attached to the head
by strong steel band. 1t could have
been neither slightly nor comforta
The second device and the first known
in history to be worn inside the socket
consisted of hollow globe Of gold
deftly enameled. The third eye devised
by this ingenious gentleman was a
shell pattern eye, much like that in
use today, except that it was Of gold
and enamel (.
Pare's inventions were followed by
eyes of painted porcelains and coiorea
pearl white, which became very pop

| glass, which soon took the place Of all
others and command popular favor to
this day. RI ..s. s 3

year 1879 and were crude productions
of inferior workmanship, the iris and
pupil being hand painted in far
from Iifelike manner. Shakespeare

flee Of Millionaire Letter and
Escape With Rich Haul.

Chicago, May 7.-Burglars today en-.
tered the Office OF Joseph Letter, the
millionaire, and erstwhile terror Of the
wheat pit, blew open two vaults and
escaped with bonds said to be valued
at from 100000 to $150,000. The
building In which the Office is located
is within half'a block Of police head
quarters.
The burglars gained an entrance to
the Office by breaking the door with a
sledge, using rubber mats to deaden
the sound. The robbery is supposed
to have been committed Saturday
night. When Hugh Crabb, manager
Of the estate of Levi z. Letter. arrived
at the office this morning he declared
the loss did not exceed $4,000 and
produced package OF $125.000 which
the clerks supposed was stolen The
officers of Robert e. and Frank Grove,

and securities valued at about $4,000
were taken In both cases the vaults

ALLEGED DYNAMITERS
IN THE TOLLS
Mounted Police Succeed in Arresting
Three Men Charged With the
Crime.

According to a telegram received
this afternoon by Fred Fornoff, cap.
tain of the mounted police, from Lieu.
tenant Cipriano Baca and Private w.
K. Warner, who are at present in Car
rizozo, Lincoln County, they have sue.
ceeded in arresting the third party
wanted for dynamiting the ranch
house of Leo Oswald, near Captain,
last Wednesday night.
The crime was perpetrated, it is
thought, for the purpose of disposing
,of Leo Oswald, who is a witness
against cattle rustlers to be tried
at the next term of court in Lincoln
County and who were released on
bond. The house was left in ruins
and but for the warning given by the
odor Of burning powder both Oswald
and his little son would have been
blown into atoms.
Immediately after leaving the house,
Oswald noticed three men skulking
away and although he fired several
shots in their direction they escaped
The affair was reported to the officers
and Mounted Policeman Dudley, as.
sisted by deputy from the Office of
the sheriff of Lincoln County, succeed
ed in arresting J. j. Hicks. and Rob
ert Leslie. The third man whose name
was not received by Captain Fornoff,
was arrested by Lieutenant Baca and
Private Warner, and 1t is thought there
is enough evidence against the trio
to convict them.
Captain Fornoff, this morning re-
ceiyed a telegram from Lieuatenant
Cipriano Baca, containing the informa-
ton that the latter had arrested Ii
berio Lucero in Lincoln County, on
the charge of stealing cattle. Lucero
is said to have a bad reputation
throughout Lincoln County and he is
supposed to be one of gang OF cattle
rustlers, who have been operating in
that vicinity for some time.

MANY NATIVES KILLED.
zuIus Attack ManseII's Column Of
Soldiers and Bloody Battle
Follows.

Durham, Natal, May Sixty zulus
were killed and three soldiers OF Colo
mel Mansell's column were killed in an
engagement which lasted nearly all
day yesterday. The army which was
pursuing the Zulu rebels was attacked
by 200 Zulus while descending a preci-
pitous hill. The natives were armed
with rifles and asegais and fought with
desperate fury. They attempted to
employ the crescent formation which
has lately been adopted in Zulu war
fare and only Colonel Mansell's prompt
disposition of his forces prevented
terrible loss of life. It is thought the
natives had all been drugged by the
so-called witch doctors, who pretend
TO be able to render the ignorant sol
diers impervious to bullets.
