Millions Retort,

John Milton was not wit, yet he Is
reported to have made crushing re-
ply to question from Charles II.
"Do you not think" said the king,
that your blindness is judgment on
you for having written in justification
Of my fathers murderP
"Sir," replied the poet, ut is true I
have lost my eyesight, but If all ths
calamitous providences are to be re-
garded as divine judgments your mai
esty should remember that your father

BIRD VISION.
Keen Eyesisht of the kinsfishers and
Water Birds.

Keen Eyesight of the kingfishers and
Water Birds.
So far l have determined that the
keenest eyesight is probably possessed
by water birds and kingfishers, al
though every kind Of bird possesses
keener eyesight than does man. 1t Is
a fact that the eyesight of man is 60
ing f. get worse in the future and Is
gett.Ig worse all the time-that Is, we
are growing more nearsighted. The oc-
cupations Of majority of men In
cities compel them to do their work ut
very close range. This removes the
necessity Of the farsighted eyes with
which most men are endowed. 1t Is
probably good thing that we are be-
coming nearsighted.
AS an example Of the visual capacity
Of some birds one has to think for a
moment Of hawk poised several hun
dred yards above a meadow In which
a field mouse or small chicken Is
hidden. In few seconds after the
quarry is sighted 1t is seized by the
bird, whose sharp sight has not only
detected 1t, but whose wonderful ac-
commodative apparatus permits Of a
sure and continuous fixation from hun
dreds Of meters to less than a meter
within an incredibly short space Of
time. Variations in the character of
this acute vision are seen in many
other birds-in the humming bird, that
darts here and there so quickly that
the human eye cannot follow 1t and
yet comes suddenly to rest on an al
most Invisible twig; in the woodcock,
that fits through the dark woods,
avoiding every tree, shrub and branch
as If they were nonexistent; in the owl,
that combines good diurnal with good
nocturnal vision, and in the kingfsher,
that sees as well In the air as he does
in water.-Dr. G. A. Wood in Chicago

DIDN'T DREAD DEATH.
Volunteers For the Gallows In Place
of Those Condemned.

of Those Condemned.
On more than one occasion volun-
teers for the scaffold have offered
themselves to take the place of the
condemned
Thus on the eve of the execution of
DR.. Dodd, famous as the author of
"The Beauties of Shakespeare" a man
presented himself at Newgate and ask
ed to be permitted to suffer in his
stead. His request was deemed so eX-
traordinary that he was taken in
charge as a lunatic. But he was able
to convince the magistrate, before
whom he was brought the next day,
of his sanity and so was discharged.
All he asked as the price of his self
sacrifice was f200, to be settled on his
mother.
In another instance, which happened
only few years ago, a man who said
he suffered from an incurable disease
wrote to the home secretary offering
himself as a substitute for a certain
eminent scholar who had murdered
his wife in fit of passion. He asked
neither fee nor reward, being, as he
explained, tired Of his life.
Then, too, there was the case of ELI
"a Fenning, which created so much
pity that five persons came forward
kand volunteered to suffer in her stead.
Of course no notice was taken Of their
requests, the culprit, pretty young
girl, being executed in due course

Had Practiced.

Cardinal Richelieu once listened to
an earnest sermon by a shoemaker.
The man was simple and unaffected
and apparently not at all dismayed by
the presence of the cardinal.
'How could you preach to me with
so much confidenceT Richelieu asked
him in evident surprise.
"Monsigneur," replied the shoemaker,
II learned my sermon by reciting It to
a field Of cabbage heads in the midst
Of which was one red one, and this
practice enabled me to preach to you"
