ANIMALS VISION vs. MEMS.

Dr. Alexander Schnfer has been in- vestisating the vision of many ani- mnl species and has found that tho size of the eycball is the principal factor of acuteness of vision. The bovine species has the sharpest sight, The second place is occupied by man and the horse, which have nearly equal visual powers, the third by the sheep. Small, and especially small-eyed animals, whether mann mals, birds, amphibia. or reptiles, have very poor sight. Owls and buzzards are the only birds that pos sess great acuteness of vision. The low positions in the scale occupied by dcgs, cats, bats and many fishes which feed upon living prey, is contrary to all expectation. In tho case of dogs and certain fishes, lack of sharpness of vision is due to tho great size of the retinal clements lt has long been known that dogs have such indistlnct vision that as rule dog is not able to recognize his master by sight alone These re- suits emphasize the distinction be- tween vision of motionless objects and vision of moving objects. Tho latter faculty is necessarily keen in all an- finals of prey A cat is little affected by the sight of motlonless objects, but pounces on fleeing mouse or a tra'lcd string instantly and with un- erring precision. A trout will riso Co the most impossible artificial fly if its motion resembles that of Il living fly. Tho inclusion and position of man in the series arc based upon the ocular measurements given by Helm boltz in his "Physologisehc Optil Scientific American.

Through very simple mistake a business man of this city was forced to spend a good wad of his tightly held cash the other night, He was scheduled to take his wife to the theater.

GuARnING BANK OF FRANCE

Like the Bank of England. the Bank of France is now guarded every night by soldiers. But within quite re- cent time the officials at the French bank resorted to very novel meth cd of protecting their bullion.
 This consisted in engaging masons to wall up the doors of the vaults in the cellar with hydraulic mortar as soon as the money was deposited each day in these receptacles The water was then turned on and kept running until tho whole cellar was flooded A burglar would be obliged to work In a diving suit and break down a ce- ment wall before he could even begin Co punder the vaults.
 When tho hank officials arrived next morning the water was drawn off. the masonry torn down, and tho vaults opened Strand Magazine.

CoRsETs MENACE THE ARMY.
Woman Inventor Said to be Making
 Progress With War Department.

The design for a soldiers corset, which will make fat soldiers slim, and keep slim soldiers from getting too fat. has been submitted to Surgeon Gem eral O'Rellly. of the United States army, by the woman inventor
 This same enterprlsing person has also informed the general that the corset if adopted, will make the American army officer the most athletlc-looking and spryest military man on earth Tho surgeon general, according to the information received by army officers In New York. Is dis Inclined to consider the corset ques- tion seriously, but the inventor Is not without influential support
 The inventor of the military corset Is a French woman. who is now in Washington pressing her claims for recognition before the war depart ment She is accompanied on her rounds of the department by a trim French maid. and between them they have managed to interview most of the higher officers on duty In Wash ington.
 On Governors Island, at the Army and Navy club, at the coast artillery posts hereabouts. everybody was talk ing corset yesterday The slim ofil- cers thought the matter huge joke but 1t was exactly the opposite with the portly ones.
 They could he detected every now and then taking n squint at them selves In the mirror. II was plain to sec that they were trying 10 frame a mental picture of themselves when re- modelled by the corset.
 "l do not want to be retired Jus, yet," said an officer whose waist meas urement does not tend to decrease the price of clothes, but if anybody tries to get me into one of those things well, it's the cinder path for mine"
 Me, too" sympathetic brother answered. who was almost as portly ''The very idea of such thing! may be little above the average when it comes 10 weight, but what have got is mine, and I don't intend to in. suit nature by losing 1t with tho aid of a thing that only women are supposed to wear."-New York Times.

Vice-presldent Fairbanks to-day evok- ed great demonstrations from the del- egates.
 Harmony prevailed throughout the convention which was addressed by Senator Beveridge. The following letter of Vice president Fairbanks was read.
 My Dear Mir. Overstreet;
 There seems to be no division of opinion among republicans with res- pect to the questions which are to be embodied in the state platform except possibly with regard to the time when the tariff should be revised.
 venture therefore, to submit to you, and through you, to tho com mittee on resolutions, briefly my views upon this subject.
 Tho sentiment In favor of a revis- ion Nf the tariff has so far crystalized as to make it reasonably certain that revision will be undertaken at no dis tant date.
 The timo when revision should be made Is second only in importance to revision itself. It is obvious that there is a wrong and a right time to at tempt 1t. If revision had been enter ed upon during the past four months, lncalculable injury would have been inflicted upon tho country.
 It is well understood that revision Is attended with more or less business disturbance. Pending the considera- ton of new schedules, manufacturers merchants and consumers will hesi- tate. It Is, therefore, important thai the period of uncertainty be reduced to the minimum In order that busi- ness may speedily resume It's normal activity, and complete resumption VII not occur before the schedules arc definitely determined.
 We should not close our eyes to tn fact that there will he determines effort by the opposition to control tn next house of representatives. If | should succeed, republican senate an' democratic house would be charge with the tremendously important sub ject of revision.
 lt is easy to conjecture what effec this would have upon the business O the country. Why subject the bushes of the country to public hazard whicI we can readily avoid,
 We are in control of the legislatlv and executive branches, and will, 0

course, so continue until the close of the present congress If would be man ifest folly to attempt revision on the eve of presidential election, We can, however, revise such schedules AS may require revision immediately fol- lowing the coming national election and before the fourth of next March, So long as revision Is undetermined and yet imminent 1t will be a powerful de- terrent influence in the resumption of our industrial activities, Uncertainty will continue until the time the con ventons resolve upon revision until re- vision Is an accomplished fact Revi- sion made Immediately following tho coming election has thls advantage, and it Is a distinctive advantage over revision after the incoming of new ! administration. It will reduce the pc riod of disturbance some four months, There is one potential fact which must not be obscUred and 1t is this When revision occurs 1t must be along protective lines, We should bear in mind the fact also that there are many of tho schedules m the present tariff law which do not require change, they are only reasonably protective and bus hess for ten years has adjusted itself 10 them. In short, in regard to many of the Items in the schedule there is no demand for any change. It is not wise to center upon the work of whole sale demolition, nor is 1t wise to make changes where they arc not required oS sooo pnS'ness reosons or i'aue ',eV- essary on some well founded pubic | demard.
 Very sincerely yours,
