Our Eyes and Reelected Light

The human eye has passed through
thousands of years of evolution until
it has become best adapted to sunlight
or skylight coming obliquely from
above and resents strong Illumination
from any other direction. 1t is ap-
parent that snow blindness, distress
from white sand or water is not caused
by the intensity of the light so much
as by the fact that it is reflected up
instead of down and is not stopped by
the rather transparent lower eyelid
If the lower part of the eye is guard
ed with goggles no difficulty is found.

ready to leave for Nevada. So far as.
the Jeffries-Johnson fight is concerned,
It Is practically settled that 1t will be
held either at Reno or Goldfeld.
Richards attorneys are urging him
to take h matter to the courts, but
Richard declares he has no intention
of opposing the State authorities and
that the fight will surely go to Nevada.
Early this morning 1t looks as though.
Reno is slated for tho big fight. Gold
field Is still urging its offer of s120, 900,
and Ely Is still under consideration, but
both Richard and Gleason lean strong
ly toward Reno. It is significant also
that both Jeffries and Johnson are
looking for training quarters in the
latter city. M
The fight promoters here are taking
a little comfort in the fact hat Gov
ernor Gillett took no steps to prevent
the Barry-F Ferguson fight, which was
pulled off in Los Angeles last night.
The Governor declares, however, that
he was misled as to the date of the
contest. supposing it was to take place
a week later.
At both training camps a program Of
work more strenuous than usual is,
mapped out for today. Jeffries, Whip

for his course, declared he would do q
lot of boxing this morning with Bob

One thing is certain. In order that
the champion gets In the none he
will have to do some tall riding. Joe
Fogler, Eddie Root, Norman Ander-
son, the Bedells and Paddy O'Sulivan
Hehir are being tipped as likely win
ners. The present titleholder never
liked to ride In a crowded field, and 1t
is for this q that the followers of
the game do not regard him as a dan
gerous man In the race. The champion
says that he win be there at the fin
ish and will prove to his friends that
he Is just Is speedy a man In a big
field as in a small one.
Fogler, the Brooklyn lad. Is a man
that will bear watching in the race.
Providing that Joe Is in the front at
the bell lap. the other stars will have
to de some tall hustling to go by him.
Root and Stein will also be dangerous
In the race and should give a good ac-
count of themselves, as should Amber
son.

Although Anderson Is the favorite
over Goulette in the pursuit match race
the lad from the land of the Antipodes
is confident Of taking Percy's measure.
Goulette Ia more than anxious to show
the local bike followers that he is a
speedy rider as well BIS a good plugger.
Both men are in good shape and bar
ring accidents the race should be ont
of the most exciting pursuit affairs
ever ridden on the local track.
There is also a half-mile handicap
race on the card for the money-chasers
as we'll as a two-mile affair. In the
short race Fogler and Kramer will be
started from scratch while the other
stat pedal pushers will be given liberal
handicaps, so as to make the race fast.
Kramer is counting on winning this
event and so are a number of the other
pros so the champion will have to
