Of A. o. & N. W. Made
by Celebrated
Engineers

y J. E. Gillespie, who is promoting
the Arkansas, Oklahoma q North
western railroad, telephoned from
Caney this morning to the railroad
committee that a Representative of the
Wallace Coates Engineering company
would be IN Vinita on February IA,
making a tour of the survey. The
WalIace-C Coates company is one Of the
best-known engineering companies in
the United States, the head being
John f. Wallace, formerly Of the Pan
anna canal commission.
The company has been retained BY
the bondholders to report on the pre-
llminary survey, and upon this report
will depend the financing Of the road.
If the report Of the Wallace Coates
company is as favorable as the prelim-
mary work Of the engineering corps
now in the field would indicate, then
there will be no doubt Of the con-
struction of the road.
The surveying party now Ia the
field has reached the Grand river and
is making steady progress, 1t will
progress. 1t will probably this week
cross the river into the hills, where
the real work of construction will be
encountered.

BLUE NATURAL COLOR
OF THE HUMAN EYE

One OF the scientific discussions on
heredity before the British Association
suggests new pastime, eminently
suited to garden parties and picnics
It has TO do with the color OF the
human eye So far as science is con-
cerned there are only two kinds Of
eyes, those which are blue and those
which are not. Blue is the natural
color Of the eye; all the other hues
described as hazel or gray, green or
violet, are due TO fiecks OF pigment or
color superimposed on the blue iris:
and science roughly dubs them brown.
Now, the children OF two bIue-eyed
people will always have blue eyes, but
If people marry whose eyes are not
true blue then there is always a prob
ability and sometimes a tendency on
the part OF one or more OF the children
TO revert to blue Thus two people, one
of whom had hazel eyes and the other
what are usually described as brown
eyes, might quite normally have a child
with blue eyes, because blue Is a color
which tends to reassert Itself. Science,
I'm the person OF those biologists who
believe IN the Mendelian theories of
heredity, is trying. TO 60. further than
a brown eyed person marry what pro-
portion of their children will have blue
eyes and what proportion bro8n. But
the scientists are at present at. a stand
ures to go upon. Consequently any
earnest young man who asks an at
t1sctive young lady If he may. closely
examine her eyes to see now far they

GROWTH.

Two seeds 7 planted side by side,
And gave them both my tender care;
The sustenance the soil supplied
planned that they alike should share.
I watched the sprouts that came from
them
And kept the weeds from hindering;
One sprout became sturdy stem
And one was but a puny thing.
We men who hope and strive and plan
Succeed or fail and know not why;
The chance that poorly serves one man
May raise his eager brother high.
We are but seeds that Fate has sown,
Each on his little patch of earth;
And We are given growth alone
To gauge our worthleSsness or worth.
