GROWING EUCALYPTUS TREE.
Millions in the Timber, Which Attains
Height of Nearly 100 Feet.

About the most profitable industry re-
Gently developed is the growing of the
eucalyptus tree, says Van Norten'B
World Mirror. The bureau Of forestry
reports that 500 trees to the acre is the
proper planting and that at the end Of
ten years these trees should have an
average height of 90 feet and be II
inches each in diameter, according to
estimates made in California.
This acre would contain 100000 feet
of hardwood, the average market price
Of which at present is $25 per thousand.
Therefore. if you have the price of 100
acres of land in the eucalyptus belt,
plus the price of $4,000 trees nrusery
stock, and enough spare cash to defray
the cost of cultivation, ETC., and you are
sure you will not need any of this cur
rency for a decade, there is a quarter
Of a million dollars waiting for you.
The eucalyptus thrives best in south
arn California, where there is no dan
ger of frost Paintings have been made
IN the hottest parts of Arizona in south
western Texas, in New Mexico and
Florida, but California wears the blue
ribbon to date.
The red gum eucalyptus was supposed
% be the best frost resistant of the whole
eucalyptus family, and yet it was killed
back almost to the roots by frost in the
northern part of Cemor0n county, Tex,
though the thermometer registered only
Is degrees above freezing. The big gum
variety was first introduced in California;
in 1856, and for many years it was re-
garded as good only for frewood. Re-
Gently, however, the forestry society OF
that state has caused a series of in
vestigations to be made, and the conclu-
sion has been reached that the eucalyp-

WHY THEY SEE DOUBLE.
Muscles Of the Eyeballs of Drunkards
Are Temporarily paralyzed

A scientific writer has given his
opinion why drunken men see dou-
BILE. In the first place, it Is essential
that the elevated" party must have
two good eyes. No amount OF liquor
would make q one-cycd man see two
half dollars where only one exists,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer
When we wish TO see distinctly we
adjust the eyes by COnverginE them
more or less so that the image falls
upon the sensitive point of the rctina.
If the object is too far Off TO enable
us to get a distinct image in either
eye the eyes are 50 constructed that
they can bring the object nearer, or
VIC can, by contracting the eye mus
olcs bring the rctina nearer the lens,
thus getting a clear sight Of the OBJ
5ect
Both eyes may be moved either up
ward or downward or TO the right or
TO the left, but 1t Is impossible 10 di-
rect one of them upward and the 9TH
er downward. If we converge the
eyes so that the two images fall on
the sensitive point OF tho correspond
ing retnas we get In the brain a
sharp image II, however from any
cause we arc not able To move the
eycballs so as TO have this image fan
sQuarely on the retina we sec double.
This seeing double can be caused
by temporary or permanent paralysis
OF the muscles OF the oyeballs For
permanent paralysis there may be
any one Of several causes. Excessive
use of alcohol or tobacco will pro
duce temporary paralysis. Under the
influence of strong drink the control
ling muscles Of the eye. Hike others
OF the body, are not under command,
hence some drunken men stammcr In
their speech, others stagBer in their
walk and others see double.

IS PROFESSOR ALIVE !?
University of Wisconsin Geologlst Has
Not Been Heard from Since Co
ing to Hudson Bay.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 9.-[Special.l
Apprehension is felt here for the safe
ty of Prof. G. NJ. X. Leith of the Uni
yersity of Wisconsin. who is somewhere
In the wilds of the Hudson Pay country
on trip for a commercial enterprise.
His companions are Hugh NJ. Roberts,
Superior, graduate student in engineer
ing, and Frances S. Adams, Deerwood,
MINI, also a graduate student.
Before he departed the professor said
word from him might be expected any
time between October | and 10. This
fact leads many of his friends, however.
to feel that he is probably still safe and
that they will hear from MIN by the
10Th of the month.
Mrs. Leitt has every confidence in her
husbands ability to take care of himself
and although she is apparently perturbed
by his silence, declares she has no fears
whatever for his safety. His associates
in the geology department are also con
tideut he will return soon.
