EVOLUTION OF GLASS EYES.
Were First Brought Into Use in the
Seventeenth Century.

That is an artificial eye of the sew
enteenth century," said the curator
Of the medical museum. 1T isn't very
deceptive, is it," The ancient eye
resembled what is called a patch.
There was band to encircle the head,
and a semi-circle of leather with q
human eye painted on tia large, blue,
staring eye. It was, in fact, simply
a patch on which an eye was painted.
Next came these silver shells" said
the curator They were inserted un-
der the lid in the empty socket. A
little more deceptive, eh?" The
shells, in shape like halves of wal
nuts, had eyes upon them, and were
not unsightly. They were so dull and
opaque, though, that no one would
ever have taken them for the real
thing. Next came eyes of porce-
lain, the curator went on, waving
his hand toward a case of fairly pre-
sentable porcelain eyes, and finally
we got glass yes-transparent, bril-
liant eyes that will never be improved

pupil that, somehow, will work in

LION CLEARED THE YARD.
Pet of Minneapolis Man was Death &c
the Dogs.

Mr.. Nelson, who was much annoyed
by stray dogs burying bones in his
garden at Linden Hills, secured a lion
while he was in Europe last summer,
paying $2S7.50 for a rather weather
beaten king of beasts, but one that
was guaranteed in every respect. The
lion became a great pet on the way
over and came to know his masters
voice and obey it. It's name was
Henry. Arrived. at Linden Hills Mr.
Nelson let Henry out into the back
yard and simply waited. At 1880 on
the first morning a Newfoundland dog
as large as a small garage walked into
the yard to step on the flower beds as
usual and to tip over the garbage can.
The lion saw the dog enter the yard
and the dog just barely saw the lion.
Crunch" That was ALL 1t was the
sound made by Henry eating the dog.
At $40 monster bulldog smelled his
way into the garden to rip up yard
of soil among the petunias. "Ki-yi!"
Crunch" The BIZ dog had gone
hence By 11:30 Henry's score stood:
One Newfoundland, one bull, four fox
terriers, an Irish setter, and two plain
dogs. Everything that came into the
yard collided with the lion and 10, it
was not. Mr.. Nelson was so joyous
over the experiment that he could not
go to work that day, but just sat
around and felt good. In six weeks
the dogs were either all in or were
avoiding the place by going two
blocks the other way Then the cir
Gus came around and the lion was so
fat and glossy that Mr.. Nelson dis
posed of him to the menagerie depart

MADE HIS RECORD CLEAN.
Driver Had Missed One Rock and Had
to Go Back.

Some years ago Gen. Miles started
to drive from Red Lodge, Mont, to
Cody, Wyo., to see his friend, Buffalo
Bill. The road was rough, and the
reckless driving of the man holding
the lines made it seem rougher, but
the Indian fighter compressed his
lips and chung to the seat without
compliant. When near Cody the gen
eral suddenly prodded the driver in
the back with his walking stick and
said CURLY: Driver, turn around"
'What?" exclaimed the astonished
driver. DO as | tell you,' command
ed Miles. So the man turned the
horses about and started back to Red
Lodge. Nov turn here ordered
Miles, after they had dri | few
yards. Convinced that his distin-
guished passen 9r had su emily lost
his mind, the driver turned about
once more and started for Cody.
THERE exclaimed Miles, in a tone
of satisfaction, as the side wheels
struck stone and he bounded into
the air. You hit it! Now, driver,
you can go back to Red Lodge and
tell them that you drove Is miles and
never missed d rock. You've hit
them, every one"

of the boring going on there and yes

say that there was underlying Trenton

he believed that oil would be found in

possibly at a depth of 5000 feet. The

Mr.. Rodebaugh examined a great deal
of sand which has been taken out at

withstanding that IT had been washed
before being put up into glass jars he
detected the taste of oil in it.
Mr.. Rodebaugh was first engaged in

recently he was interested in Oklaho-

who has a better acquaintance with

A DISCOURAGING LAW
FOR SMALL DISTRICTS
The Free Tuition Arrangement Will
Deprive Them Of Pupils.

1t was announced on the part of the
board Of trustees OF the Osborn school
district that pupils would be admitted
to that district without the payment of
tuition. 1t Is stated that Osborn will
not be alone in this form of liberality.
1t is further stated that all the schools
will do the same thing and the schools
will be not only willing but anxious to
secure pupils on those terms. In the
first place under the law passed by the
late legislature there is no tuition to
be charged. The districts so receiving
outside pupils will get their financial
returns in an increased apportionment
on account of the better showing in at
tendance.
This law would have encountered a
great deal of opposition if the possible
and even probable effects of IL had been
understood. II is now predicted that
il will result In the breaking up of
several OF the smaller districts and that

HALF INTEREST IN MINING
CLAIM Scissor $4,000
Plans For Bigger Development and
New Machinery Purchased With
That in View.

An undivided half intehest in min
ing claim in the Kelvin district yester-
day sold for $4,000. The deal had
been pending for some time and with
the arrival of w. E. Sharpe president
of the Calumet Copper Co. from Phil
adelphia the parties got together and
finished the transaction. The claim
was owned by Tom Haley and VIM.
Souffrien who have been in the KEEL
vim country for. over so years.
About September of last year Hon.
Thomas F. weeden of Florence took
an option on the claim and this option
was to expire on the "a of the present
month. During this year. according to
parties in touch with the transaction.
$4,000 worth of shipping ore has been
quarried off the surface OF the claim,
which is otherwise undeveloped. As
the time approached for the expiration
of the bond interested parties got busy
and as result Mr.. Twitchell general
manager for the Calumet Copper COM
pany came forward with the cash to
close the deal.
The claim sold lies southeast of the
Ray property and across Mineral
Creek The name of the claim is the
Calmuet mining claim and was orig
inally located by Thomas Haley. Wal
ter McCallen and Fred Mckenzie. but
IL was allowed to revert back to the
first two. They had a separation and
divided their property but did not di-
vide the mining claim. Afterwards the
feeling between them eliminated in
lawsuit and the court decided that
both owned a half interest. Thomas
Weeden tried to buy the property but
could not. Finally the Calumet COM
pany purchased McCallen's half inter-
est for $4,000.
Tom Haley came TO the Kelvin coun
try in 1875 and has been hammering
away at the mining business in that
section ever since. Before coming here
he was in the mining business. and
had some relation with the Hearst
properties in California and Nevada.
His partner VIM. Souffrien has also
been at Kelvin for long time. Both
of them gain a large share of the
worlds goods by the deal. but this Is
not the only claim they possess how
ever. They own several lead claims
and about IL copper claims in the
same district. Haley has been through
all the pioneer experiences and says
he is going to invest in some good
government bonds and enjoy the for
tune he has al hand. The former own
