 Declared Not GuiIty-E. J. Clark and Tom McGuire, who were arrested in connection with the alleged robbing of a man In front of the Metropolitan hotel, have been discharged. The man alleged that he was robbed while asleep in chair, and the two men were arr rested by city detectives who found watch in McGuire's possession and an- other in small jewelry shop. The evil dence was to the effect that the man was drunk on the day he claimed to have been robbed, and that he had sold the watch to Clark for s1, claiming 1t to be worth $5. and had paid Clark 10 cents for game of pool. Clark handed the watch to Mcclure the next day, tell ing him to sell it and keep half he received.

PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE

More than quarter of century ago
there lived in Provincetown on the ex-
tremity of Cape Cod a fisherman, Ma
thaniei Atwood. He had only a COM
mon school education, but he picked up
and stored away more information than
the average student gains in college
course. He not only was an expert in
catching and curing fish, but he made
himself acquainted with every species
of fish known on the Atlantic coast. He
knew all about their habits, their
haunts, their feeding grounds, when
they would migrate and when return,
etc. He gained all this information not
from books, but from careful observa-
ton and the annexation of facts.
Prof. Agassiz met him and was sur
prised and delighted at his attachments,
says the Springfield Republican. He
was not long in discovering that he had
found a phenomenon, and one day said
to him: "Mr. Atwood, 1 want you to
come to the Lowell institute and give
us a course of lectures on fishes" Mr..
Atwood was nonplussed and replied:

HOW TO FIND THE BLIND SPOT

The "blind spot" that occurs In every
eye, no matter how perfect may be the
sight, is that precise point where the
optic nerve enters the eye, about one
tenth of an inch nearer the nose than
the center.
To discover this spot, take, for exam
pie. two rubber tipped lead pencils and
hold them together at arms length,
directly in front of you, one in each
hand; close your left eye. and fix the
sight of the right eye on the left hand
Iencil; gradually separate them until
about six inches apart, when 1t will be
found that you have lost sight of the
rubber on the right hand pencil. While
this is a natural condition in all eyes,
still the fact remains doubted by many
till 1t is tried.

GUARD AGAINST PAPER FAMINE

The Japanese also have looked over
the contents of their industrial stores
and have decided that something must
be done toward conserving their re-
naming supplies of raw material for
paper making.
In Japan, paper is used for almost
everything from the silver-figured par
titions of the Buddhist temple to the
rude nut walls of the laborer; from the
silk-like vestments of the priest down
to the rain-proof shield of the traveller.
In fact, the ingenuity of the Japanese
is only matched by the varieties of uses
to which paper may be adapted.
The work of the United States gov
eminent toward determining the
amount of paper materials used and
the source of future supply, is being
followed by the Japanese, according to
an advice from United States Consul
John H. Snodgrass at Kobe. The i'm
minence of the danger is apparent from
the fact that the Japanese authorities
have requested the paper mills depart
ment of the Mitsu Bishi kaisha to take
over some $500 acres of the bamboo
forests of Formosa-
It is known that the bamboo tree has
been the raw material from which the
Japanese have recently made the larger
portion of their paper products; so it is
thought that, by introducing the i'm
proved methods of forest cultivation
and harvesting, this tract of woods will
furnish nearly 100000 bamboos,
adapted for conversion into paper pulp.
