Physicians Method May Have Been All Right, but Here He was
 at Fault.

We are told that the latest sensa- tion in the medical world is the asser- tion of a doctor that he is able, by looking into a patients eye, to make an accurate diagnosis of the complaint which the patient is suffering. But is this really as novel as it is supposed to be? l reeolleet hearing some time ago of doctor who said to a patient who was under examination: T can see by the appearance of your right eye what is the matter with you You are suffering from liver

Freak of Nature.
The Giants causeway is situated at
the northern extremity of County An

Ireland. 1t consists of countless hosts
Of basaltic pillars, varying in shape
from pentagon to an octagon, the ay-
erage length of each column or pillar
being about eighty feet. the whole
stacked so closely together that knife
blade could hardly be inserted between
them. But the formation of these pill
lars is not the least wonderful part
about them. for. although they may be
counted by thousands and tens of
thousands, each column is fashioned
with a symmetry that suggests a ma
sons handiwork. Their composition Is
a perfect fusion of one-half tinty
earth, one-quarter lime and clay, one
quarter almost pure iron, each pillar
being divided into regular lengths or
joints which come together as 4 per-
feet natural ball and socket union.
Although to be found in small de-
tachments Embedded in the cliffs.
sands, etc., for some distance along
the shore, the principal aggregations
forming the causeway proper consist
of three projections or tongues known
as little, middle and grand cause ways.
These singular columns are of differ
ent lengths and present an astonishing
appearance as they stand an army of
at least 10000 strong marshaled on
the shores of Erin as if ever ready to
do battle with the rising tide.

THE EYE OF AN ARTIST.
A Case Where It Was More Reliable
Than q Sailors Optic.

- Ease Wnere u was MORE reliable
Than q Sailors Optic.
Mr.. N. Chevalier, the well known
artist who accompanied the late Duke
Of Edinburgh on many of his travels.
was once going from Dunedin to Lyt-
telton, New Zealand. by steamer. Anx-
ious to catch the earliest glimpse of
the coast, he went on deck at dawn
and was alarmed to see that the ves-
sci was heading straight on to the
land. Calling the officers attention to
the fact, he was told that it was only
q fog bank. The artist maintained his
point, but the second officer looked
and confirmed bis mate.
The artist then said, well, gentle
men, will back my artists eye
against your sailors eye, and l say
that what you mistake for fog bank
is low range of hills, and there is a
range Of mountains appearing above
them"
But he was only laughed at until the
captain, coming on deck, found in
the growing light that the artist was
right and the seamen wrong. The
vessel was out of its course, and there
was only just time to avert disaster.
The helmsman was dismissed in dis
grace and the course given to a new
steersman, but the vessels head still
pointed landward-the compass was
all wrong.
The cause was discovered later. A
commercial traveller had brought box
OF magnets on board and deposited
them in stern cabin, causing what
might have been fatal detection OF
the compass.
To return to the question of inter
probation, the artist was dealing with
the appearances which his eye was
trained to see and his mind to inter
pref. A speck on the horizon might
have remained mere speck to him
long after the sailors had interpreted
the speck into vessel of definite rig
There can be little doubt that the
trained eye is accompanied by sort
of mental seeing-an instinct outrun.

PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS
RESUME REGULAR STUDIES
Attendance Officers May Work over
time to Overcome Usual Spring
Truancy Fever

The annual spring vacation of the
Los Angeles schools ended yesterday.
Sad-hearted and despairing, the boys
and girls resumed their labors, happy
only in their remembrances of the past
week of reedom-wondering. however,
what right a nation has to call itself a
land of liberty when it allows school
bells to be rung within its domain.
Among the boys and girls, especially
among the former, there were minds
which harbored thoughts of rebellion,
minds which have been so captivated
by the spring play germ that truancy
will result and bring possessors face to
face with the attendance officer.
Each year about this time the "fe-
ver'' claims its victims and draws the
youthful students from their books into
the open lots and fields. The four at
tendance officers of the city will work
overtime for few days until the boys
and girls have become resigned again
to the relentless regime of class room
duties.

SENT TO JAIL FOR THEFT
OF SWEETHEART'S DIAMOND
Youth Who Betrayed Confidence of
Girl Must Remain in City
Prison Thirty Days

For embezzling a diamond ring from
his sweetheart, Louise Perry. who
loaned him the circlet after he had
sworn eternal constancy, Harry Thayer,
young man, was sentenced by Police
Judge Rose yesterday to pay fine Of
$50 or serve thirty days in the city
Jail. Thayer was unable to produce
the amount and accepted the jail SEN
tence.
According to the testimony of Detec-
tive James Hosick, who arrested the
accused, the latter persuaded the
young woman to loan him her ring
which is set with a small diamond.
A week after obtaining the ring Thayer
pawned it in Main street pawnshop
and then gave the ticket to a friend
The latter redeemed the jewel and
left the city.
Thayer admitted his guilt and de-
clared he had pawned the ring be-
cause he was without funds In SEN
fencing the young man Judge Rose adj
ministered singing rebuke for such
unmanly conduct.
