REPTILES ALL or abort SIGHT.


The corps Of naturalists attached to
the Geological park at Washington has
recently concluded some interesting
experiments to test the vision Of GER
tain animals.
1t appears that tie sight Of reptiles
is generally very good, being probably
their most acute sense, but not 50
acute as popularity supposed, posscgs-
ing lirsited range, indeed, as com
pared with most animals.
hCrccodiles cannot distinguish AMMAN
al distance exceeding ten times Theft
length. Fish see for only short Idls-
tancas. The vision Of most serpents
Ifs poor, the boa constructor, for exam
able being able4to see no further than
one third of its own length. Some
snakes see no further than oneeigh,h
Of their length. Frogs esbetter an
dowed With ! sight, for they can
distinguish objects clearly at q dis-
tance Of 20 times their own length
THE hearing Of nearly all reptiles, Is
even yworse than Etheir vision. Most
pfs them are quite deaf, especially the
boa constructor. The phrase deaf as
en-. adder represents the careful OBJ
servation Of our forefathers. AHarper's

A Gold Farm.

"ThanksgivinA football is one form
of gold farm" said a metallurgist;
"but gold grows ind when the secret
of its cultivau,SJ is discovered, we
shall have gold farms literally.
Miners, having set timber braces in
gold mines, often find on the timber
growths Of gold. Growths of gold
have, too, been perceived on the rocks
Of gold-bearing rivers. Gold has been
discovered growing on sluice boxes. /
"What causes these growths Of gold
we don't know. We do know that one
essential Is the percolation Of water, a
feature without which gold growths
are never found. When we discover
the other features-and no doubt
science will discover them some day
the gold farmer Will perhaps be as
common as the farmer Of fruit or
truck"

Unsatisfactory Education.

We ought to train our boys to be
more methodical and more thorough
going in everything they have to do.
Constantly we hear complaint from
business men that boys from the
grammar schools, and even from the
higher schools, are very hazy about
arithmetic. Now, If there is any sub
ject requiring precision 1t is that
which deals with figures. 1t boots lit
tie that boy has gone through a
high school course If he cannot make
out the extensions Of an ordinary bill
of lading. Yet the latter difficulty pre-
sents itself to business men continu-
ally.--Philadelphia Inquirer.

Preferred the Insomnia.

A story is told Of the late bishop Of
London, DR.. Creighton, and Lord Rose
berry. Lord Rosebery complained to
the bishop Of want OF sleep, to which
the bishop replied that he never suf-
fered from insomnia. The earl OBJ
served that he wished he knew the
remedy. The bishops formula was
very simple. If he felt drowsy he
started to write q sermon and in .
few moments he was wide awake. On
the other hand II he wanted to sleep
all he had to do was to start to read
a sermon. Then sleep came In few
seconds. Lord Rosebery replied that
It was his practice to choose the less
or evil, and he preferred want OF
sleep to reading sermons.

Geographical Distinctions.

Inhabitants Of the Isle Of Wight
speak of "going to England when
they leave their own fragment of the
kingdom. A patrioticsCornishman also
goes to England" wheR he crosses

the Balkan peninsula talk of going to
Europe" when they leave their own
corner of the continent-in curious
contrast with the people of Great Brit
ain, who regard themselves as both of
and in Europe" and it is only "the
continent" that they visit. There is
an old story of Scottish minister
who prayed for blessing upon "the
inhabitants of Great and Little Cum
brae ISLANDS in the Firth Of Clyde)
and the adjacent islands Of Great Brit
ain and Ireland" Massachusetts, peo-
pie speak of going down east" when

To stoo BLEEDING at the Nose.

A man in travelling from New Eng
land to his home in New Jersey had
violent nosebleed on the train, Every
aid was rendered, and the usual rene
dies, such as ice on the neck, key
thrust down the back and all sorts of
things, we're Intellectually tried. SO
profuse was the hemorrhage that
when New York was reached he was
too weak to so to q physician unat-

eucalyptus promptly stopped the bleed
ing. This Is an exceedingly valuable
remedy and should be indelibly
stamped upon our memories. A small

that for interest and excitement has seldom

sched uled for this day, but on Friday night
manager Page cancelled the game and se-
cured National Park instead. The boys
from that historic borough came over full
of vim and confidence in their ability to
easily defeat West Ends bunch of colts. But
the hoys from the lower end of the town,
humiliated by their former defeat, went at
them with a yengence and when the final
reckning was made it made the National
Park boys look like thirty cents minus a
quarter. Score u to A.

and while be pitched good ball, be found
he was up against it, and total Of 10 hits
was made of him. The support given him
was enough to discourage any pitcher.
