Life on the canal is not so different

work in Offices find them well built

terrors of the tropics have been greatly
exaggerated. The temperature runs
from 70 degrees to 80 degrees, seldom
above the latter at any time. Flies
and mosquitoes are no worse than in
Iowa, snakes so rare as to be curl

of the year is the chief discomfort.

Road machines can not be purchased
by county boards Of supervisors out OF
the one mill county road levy, says
the supreme court in case from
Harrison county. The Harrison
county supervisors used the road fund
to purchase several road machines.
but were enjoined from paying for
them. The supreme court holds that
the section of the. code which gives
the supervisors power "to determine
the manner in which said tax (the
one mill levy shall be expended. "
does not authorize the purchase of
road machines. The township trus.
tees alone have authority to purchase
machinery, according to the supreme
court. Waterloo Reporter.

Before the Berlin Medical Society
DR.. Zirm showed man on whom he
successfully performed transplanta-
tion of the cornea, or transparent
skin that covers the iris and pupil and
which admits light to the eye. The
patient had lost the sight of both
eyes. By chance the surgeon had to
take an eye out Of an ll-year-old boy.
which was ruined by steel splinter,
but the cornea Of which was intact.
DIR. Zirm then cut Sits in the Opaque
cornea of the blind mans eyes and in-
serted pieces from the boys eye. The
experiment failed with one eye be-
cause the transparent cornea also
thiokened. but with the other eye it
was SO successful that il affords the
man almost normal vision. In this
eye the transplanted cornea retains
its Transparency, althouRh there is q
slight veil over che eye. But the
once totally blind man can read small

the fact that the ycoSpeA of animals
instead of human beings, as in this
instance. was invaxiably used.

"The Gingerbread Man" Delights Big House.

There was no disappointment in the
production "The Gingerbread Man"
at the Grand opera house ON Friday
evening. 1t has been advertised as
one of the best shows of the year. and
the house was we'll filled, in anticipa.
tion of something out of the ordinary.
And they got it. The production is
decidedly high class throughout A
corps of real actors, men and women
OF national reputation took the prin-
cipal parts, and chorus of really
pretty girls and good singers, to-
gether with scenery such as had
never been seen here before made up
a combination that brought delight
to the audience during the entire per-
formance. The electrical effects, etc.
were an innovation for this theatre,
and in fact the entire production
was high class in every particular.
That the audience was in the best of
spirit and thoroughly appreciated the
performance was evidenced by the
fact that when they got a good thing
they wouldn't let loose of it, and they
had so many of them that the boy
behind the drop curtain was kept
pretty busy raising and lowering it.
