The MoIe'S Power Of Sight.

There has always been much dis
cusslon as TO the moio' power OF
sight. Dissection has shown that the
size Of the eye is greater in the en-
hryo than in the cdult. indicating that
the sight OF the race has deteriorated.
From numerous experiments the
writer is convinced that the adult
mole is practically blind. Moles en-
countered In the daytime have taken
no notice Of "a human being waving a
hand close in 'front.', nor at night do
they show signs OF consciousness of a
iigst wavercd before their nose. but,
II the slightest sound Is made, the
greatest excitement is instantly
shown
The writer tells us further that he
has often thrown down worms before
q captive mole. The animal shows at
once that he knows the worm is there,
but the h%aphazard way in which he
pokos about indicates that he is guided
by scent or by hearing. not by sight.
Excitement causes the fur 10 radiate
round the minute eye. and Il has been
suggested that the animal thus clears
his eye To sec; most probably. how
ever, this is only an inherited relic OF
"a lost function. To quote again,
when. after a hurried and blum
dering search, The worm has been To-
Gated, the mole holds n down with his
forcpaws and eats II from end to end
with quick. jerky bites. When the an
imal's immense appetite Is at length
satisfied and worms are stili being
supplied. the mole win often civ the
worm several bites to disable II. and

SEE AMERICA FIRST.

one of the minor news stems OF a
day or SO ago contained the informa-
ton that an Engllshman and his fam
.ily were IN San Francisco after vis-
itng the Grand Canyon and the Yose-
mite Valley, and were on their way
to the Yellowstone Park and to other
beauty spots Of the west. At the
same time thousands of Americans
In the east were preparing for jour
neys 10 Europe, although they q
never seer the superior wonders Of
their own western country. SO much
for the force Of habit. After a while
Americans win learn better to appre-
ciate what they have at home.
And while seeing America first, the
eastern tourist Is respectfully inform
ed that New Mexico affords some OF
the most beautiful scenery and inter-
esting antiquities on the continent.

Effect of Alterations of Cold
and Heat.

II is common in midwinter in these
places for the landscape to be CULVER
ing in the hot sun while a piercing
wind from the northeast seizes every
opportunity-the shade OF a palm tree
or a wall-to grip the unwary traveller
In its fierce embrace to the detriment
OF his comfort, possibly of his health.
The inexperienced laugh at the eau
tious resident who dons his o%vercoat
in spite of what looks and feels like
summtr sunshine, but the wages of
ignorance Is often disease. There is
one curious effect of these bitter
sweet enthusiastically. a certain ir-
rttability OF temper hat attacks peo-
pie after a few weeks spent in these
surroundings.
Ask any one who has passed three
months al Helouan or Algiers, Nice
or Mentone, and although he may not
admit 1t AS regards himself he Will
readily concede the truth Of this OBJ
servation on behalf of his friends.
Now this irrlnbility is no doubt an
outward and visible manifestation Of a
disturbance of nervous equilibrium
consequent on nervous exhaustion.
The effect of these rapidly recurring
alterations of hea and cold on the
nervous system is strictly comparable
with that of quick alterations of light
and lark on the eye. The bewildered
vasomotor system Toes its best to re-
spond To the kaleidoscope indications
but falls, and ultimately reacts on the
nervous system as a whole. When this
symptom declares itself il is time to
move on, either farther south where
the variations Of temperature are less
marked. OF TO a higher altitude. where
the temperature. being low. is more
uniform, The latter Is the better
choice Of the two. because no matter
how far south n goes, starting from
the Mediterranean. much the same
difference obtains between the tenn
parature in the sun and that OF the
wind. The only advantage attending
the desert air is that. being absolutely
dry. the alterations are less trying
than neal the coast. where the rcia-
tive humidity is high.-London Ian

No Use Trying Experiments.

There are many new things that
have been injected into various state

more or less of an experiment, such
as the initiative, the referendum and
the recall. 1t will be well enough for

Z a writer in the Middlebury Register,
probably the owner Of The paper, Mr..
Battell, in which the statement Is made
that the Vermont legislature which per.
mitted automobiles TO run on Vermont
highways Il directly responsible for ev-
cry murder" Or injury which may occur
The outburst was oeeasioned by news
item TO the effect that the driver Of an
automobile which caused runaway III
Moretown was not at fault for the acct
dent, and the frenzy Of the writer Of the
outburst reached such stage as to
declare that it was lie Here Is what
the paragraph charges
"The statement above that the driver
of the auto was not in fault in the mat
ter is q straight lie, az everyone who
uses an auto knows he may kin anyone
upon the road at any moment; but we
admit that the legislature which passes
an act permitting, or attempting to,
automobiles to be used on the peoples
highways, are also directly responsible
for every murder Or injury which may
occur"
II the writer Of the article Just quoted
could BY observation in some Of the
larger places Of tho state witness how
peaceably the automobile and the horse
share the streets, he would realize that
the automobile has come to stay and
that the general allegation Of murder,
etc, is unwarranted and shoelSinglv out I

from horses 70 every death BY auto
