SCIENTIFIC
EYE TESTING

The modern Optometerist examines
the eyes carefully with the aid OF prop.
err instruments and prescribes lenses
for all defects of vision.
In case the eyes are found diseased
the patient is sent to the Oculist (who
makes surgery and diseased eyes his
speciality.
Optometry is distinct profession,
and the Optometrist who devotes his
entire time TO his profession is more
successful than the Oculist who devotes
small part of his time.
The modern Optometrist charges for
his professional skill and time either
directly or indirectly lbut more about
this next time).
When you consider that you can
have your eyes fitted at little cost at
home by one that has the scientific
training you can hardly afford to
trihe or take chances with. your eyes
by trying to fit yourself.

BERLIN. October 4-Probably the first
occasion on record that a railway train
has been stopped by a balloon occurred the
other evening at Eutin. During the popular
rejoicings In that town a balloon assembled
with a man and woman. The former de-
scended In a parachute, leaving his COM
panion to manage the balloon, which, ow-
ing to her inexperience, came down between
the railway telegraph wires and fell across
the lines. The driver of a train at that mo-
ment proceeding to Lubbock happily noticed
an enormous black object through the dark
ness. and pulled up in time to prevent
collision. The guard alighted and found
the woman entangled In the balloon net, I'M
conscious through the escaping gas, which
filled the air around, creating danger of an
explosion through contact with the locomo-
tive fires. The train was Immediately back
ed to q safe distance. and the unlucky fe-
male was relieved from her dangerous posi-
ton. The line was cleared and the train
proceeded,

AUTO FOR THE SIRDAR
POWERFUL CAR FOR THE
SAHARA SANDS. |

Special Cablegram to The Star.
GLASGOW. October 4.-Over a portion
of the sands at Belhaven. near Dun
bar. tests were made the other after
noon with q motor car Of the Arrol-Johns-
ton build. which had been constructed for
the sirdar, Maj. Gen. Sir Francis Win
gate. and 10 to be brought into service In
the Egyptian deserts. The car has been
built on lines specially adaptable for this
particular kind Of work. 1t is composed
Of steel. has q vertical four-cyclinder en-
CINE Of thirty-eight to forty-fve horse
power. which at about I. 400 revolutions
can be developed to seventy horsepower.
One Of its most unique points Is the wheels
They are Of exceptional dimensions. are
completely closed In with nne steel plates
and carry solid tires. This arrangement
will greatly facilitate progress In the sands.
The engine and. indeed, the whole OF the
mechanism Is inclosed. It is seated for
seven persons. but the body can be re-
moved and another frame for two substi-
tuted. The car Is very low geared to pro-
vide reserve power for getting out Of ex-
ceptionally heavy sand. The operations
took place In the presence of the sirdar
himself. who witnessed the work with the
keenest interest The car first of all trav-
eled over a stretch Of very heavy sand, in
to which 1t sank nine to twelve inches
and got along splendidly at speed Of
about six miles an hour. Then it was
tested over another course Of the heav-
lest sand on the whole area which covers
the many miles on the Haddington coast.
1t had proceeded some distance, when 1t
Auddtnly got caught. There was any
amount OF power, but the wheels simply
skidded and so three-quarters Of an hour
was occupied in excavating It, Again 1t
got away beautifully and completed all
right another trial. In the final test slight
difficulty again arose, owing to its be-
coming imbedded in another very tickle
sand bed, but in a few minutes it was on
It's course, and dancing over sand reefs in
a manner that was simply amazing. The
car had ample power. but the main diff
fculty which had to be connected with
was the skidding of the wheels. The tests
are regarded as much more severe than
will be experienced in Egypt, where the
sand Is Of q powdery nature.

PARIS APACHE MURDER.
Exploit Of the Notorious Gang Of
Thugs.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, October 4.-The Rue Popincourt.
in the Roquette quarter, has been the
scene of most atrocious and cold
blooded murder, committed in the presence
of five men. who coolly looked on while one
man was being butchered and a second Sc
verely wounded.
The six men had been spending the even
ing in a cafe, where they sat around a
table apart from the other guests. One
Of them had big knife, with which he
was practicing in the presence Of the
others, to show them how a man was to
be stabbed. Late in the night they all left
the ct.fe. after having come, apparently.
to a kecret agreement. and walked down
to small hotel, where they remained
standing In front of the door, evidently
waiting for some one to return. 1t was
not long before a young woman appeared,
accompanied by two workmen. who were
well known in the neighborhood. She had
scarcely rung the bell at the hotel door
when the man who had been practicing
with his knife at the cafe walked up and
attacked one of the workmen. The lat
ter, being a powerfully-built man, seized
him, and severe struggle followed. in the
course of which both rolled on the ground.
while the woman was screaming for help.
The Apache finally succeeded in plung-
man, and then attacked the other, who
had come to the assistance Of his COM
rade, and also wounded him by a fierce
thrust in the side. Meanwhile the other
five Apaches had been looking quietly on:
and when the murderer had finished his
work, one of the men lying dead on the
pavement and the other apparently dying.
he deliberately wiped the blade of his knife
with his pocket handkerchief and then
walked off with his friends, after remark
ing that he thought he had done his work
well. The police did not arrive till some
slime later. when they conveyed the corpse
to the police station and the wounded man
to the hospital The woman who had been
witness of this terrible scene was able
to give complete description of the MUIR
derer and his accomphces. and they are
all well known to the authorities. They
will no doubt soon be captured, but the
reason of their crime is still shrouded in
mystery. AS IT is, however. it Is one of
the most cruelty, premeditated murders
committed by the Apaches Of Paris for
some time.
