Portland, Ore Nov. IS Shifting

congressional district, bringing sew
eral new candidates for congress into
V.e" now present one of the most in
tcTest ting situations among the many
miXups TO be fought out in the pri-
mar es next April The counties of
That district, comprising the territory
east Of the Cascades, are more prolific
N possible candidates than any other
section Of the state.
Among the new names now being
mentioned are John w. McCulloch of
Ontario, George +. Davis of Vale and
JAY II. Dobbin of Josepr. All of these
men are well known and have demon
strated Their strength in past cam
paigns, so the talk centering around
them is enough to give concern to the
friends Of other candidates.
McCulloch is the district attorney of
the Ninth district, including Grant,
Harney and Malheur counties Davis
formerly was circuit judge and lived
at Canyon City. Recently he moved
to Vale.
Sheepmen's View.
When Davis ran for reelection last
year it was charged by his friends
that McCulloch knitted him and sup
ported Dalton Biggs, the democratic
nominee, who was elected Now Nc
Culloch and Davis are talked of as ri
walls for the congressional nomina-
ton. and as both reside in the same
county. they would be able to stage
an interesting affair.
Many of the sheepmen of the dis
trict are disgruntled with the Lafferty
experiment, and would like to send
a man to Washington closely in touch
with their industry. There is said TO
be move on foot to put State SEN
ator j. y. Burgess of Pilot Rock in
the fight as the sheepman's candidate,
but it is reported that Burgess will not
run.
Some of the sheepmen are turning
to Jay H Dobbin of Joseph, it is said.
He is a wealthy sheep owner of Wal
Iowa county and is the newly elected
president of the Oregon Woolgrow-
ers' association. He is a self made
made who has made sheep pay.
Rusll Is Candidate.
He represented Union and Wallowa
counties in the legislator Elm 1905 and
1907 and is classed as a progressive.
having signed Statement No. l last
time he was elected. 1t is not certain
that he will become a candidate.
j. p. Rusk, who took Dobbin's place
in the legislature from Union and
Wallowa but now lives in La Grande,
is an active candidate. He was speak
er of the last house and is making
the fight as a progressive. Another
progressive who is likely to gather
strong support if he enters the field
is State Senator y. ]. Sinnott of The

Besides these, there is talk that
former Congressman w. r. Ellis will
try to regain the seat he lost to Laf-
ferty. There is also mention of for

Decline of the Dachshund.

Many of the species of hounds SC
popular today are survivors of the
time most hunting dogs were taught
to hound" game. Then dogs select
ed by reason of their superior speed
and powers Of endurance were chosen
to accompany the hunting parties
Hounds were divided into two classes
those qualified to follow the game
by scent and those capable Of sight.
ing the quarry long distance away,
All, however, were expected to unite
in the running down Of the quarry.
And so it happens that, in the Teu-
tonic languages, the name of hound"
or "hund," as the Germans have it,
was originally used to designate all
species of dogs, but came in time TO
be applied to hunting dogs only. IN
later times there came a differentia-
ton with respect to grayhounds, rab-
bit hounds, bloodhounds, deerhounds,
etc.
An interesting case in point is that
of the German dachshund, which
means badger hound" The first
dogs Of this species were employed in
the drawing of badgers.
The breed is now too degenerate
for tracking such game.-Harper's
Weekly.

POWER OF HUMAN EYE
MAY BE GREAT AS COMPOUND
LENSES OF THE FLY.
Each of the Latter Reflects but .
Small Part of the Image
Looked At.

A specialist has claimed that he can
with the unaided eye distinguish lines
ruled in glass that are only one fifty
thousandth of an inch apart, but lie
Conte has limited the power OF the
eye to distinguish lines to one one
thousandth of an inch.
To show how immensely superior is
the sense Of sight in defining single
things one can try the sense of touch
in comparison with it. The two points
of pair of compasses placed three
inches apart on the least sensitive
parts Of the body will be felt as a
single prick.
With the aid of the microscope the
human eye can discern objects whose
diameter is only about one one-hun-
acknowledgements of an inch.
1t has been said that the eye of fly
can distinguish an object one five
millionth of an inch in diameter.
What we designate as the eye of a
fly is really compound eye made up
of numerous lenses. OF these the COM
mon house fly has something like four
thousand in the two eyes. The struc-
lures Of these lenses are we'll known,
the optical part of each consisting of
two lenses, which combined, form a
double convex lens.
That each lens acts as a separate
eye can be easily proved by detaching
the whole of the front of the COM
pound eye, and by manipulation with
microscope it is not difficult to ex-
anime a photograph of other object
through 1t. When this Is done a dis
tlnct image is seen in each lens.
Carpenter has shown that each lens
reflects but small portion of the
image looked at and that 1t requires
the combined action of the 1000
lenses of the fly to produce the same
effect as that seen by the one human
eye. The human eye Is therefore a
more perfect optical instrument than
the eye of the fly.
Scientists who have given consider
able attention to the investigation of
compound eyes have formed no opin-
ion that would lead to the conclusion
that their power of vision with re-
spect to small objects exceeds that of
the simple eyes of the higher animals.
The images of objects formed in the
separate lenses composing the com.
pound eye are proportionately email,
and the question whether insects can
see smaller objects than animals fur
nished with single eyes is not ques.

ter say that there is now on the Bos
phorus a new classification of war.
ships-"frst class, second class and
secondhand" They tell u that the
Young Turks were afraid to trust
themselves to bring the ships from
Germany, so they had German officers
man them until just outside the OAR
danelles, where they ran up the Tur-
kish flag. The German officers de-
manded two hundred ar fifty thous-
and marks for their services and re,
fused to haul down the Turkish flag
until the sum was paid. Rumor has 1t
that one of the ships broke down en-
route. At any rate, the Turkish gov
eminent paid the money and the ships
sailed up the Bosphorus, streaming
bright new crescent flags behind them.
That New Turkey has something to
learn In the way of naval administra-
ton was evident from little expe-
rience Of my own. Late one night
had need to cross the Bosphorus in q
small boat and the boatman ran close
to one of the new warships. Instead
of turning searchlight on to us q
dozen men began to yell to warn US
off. For two or three minutes there
seemed to be small riot on the ship,
but not once was there light flashed
on us though the crews fear was that
we might be Greeks bearing torpedos.
OF a piece with this bit of admins
tration was the naive remark of an
admiral the other day, that he was
obliged to surrender his place on a
naval board in order to go to the in
terror to take charge Of a military
barracks.
Cholera, Rat-Traps and Religion.
The cholera Is raging in CONSTANT
nople at present and it affords an OPP
portunity of observing the difference
between the old and the new. Lime
is sprinkled in the cutters by the city
but, for the most part, the people
who, SO far as the Moslem population
are concerned, are arrant fatalists,
say 'Kismet," and do not amend their
unsanitary ways. That modern scien-
tific knowledge is beginning to perco.

traps which street vendors display as

feminine interest in dress. One OF
their sisters came along the other day
wearing Merry Widow" hat and
hobble skirt and as l passed l noticed
these queer yelled figures stop and
turn and look as long as the new
fashions were in sight. What Will
happen to the economic system IN
Turkey with it's low scale Of income
when husbands have to pay for Paris
millinery and their wives have right
to wear them, is more than I can
project.
Immediately after the revolution
many Moslem women took off their
wells as they appeared in public
places. Such is the state Of the Tur-
kish mind, however, to be described
by no other words better than by the
English phrase absolutely rotten
that this could not endure.
A Turkish official himself explained
to me the reason why he could not
hope for the unwilling of the women
for generation or two. The men Of
today are utterly devoid of western
ideals concerning womanhood. What
western women, who understand the
language, have to endure as they
travel and live in Turkey, has never
yet been written. 1t needs a new
mind in the people before some of the
conditions that are the salt Of civiliza-
ton can fully obtain in Turkey.
New Warships and Some Stories.
Almost humping into the ancient ma
tive crafts Of the Bosphorus are a
number Of new warships of which Tur-
key is very proud. The Turk loves
weapons, big and little. While the
order for disarmament has gone out,
it yet remains true that In the cities
as well as in the rural parts men

and carry a knife stuck into the vol
luminous girdle. / never travelled with
a pistol in my belt in plain sight I'M
til / went out into the interior of
Turkey where every man has to be
his own policeman.
With this warlike disposition It is
natural that the Turks should be in
terested in their fleet. Their pride in
the two warships recently purchased
from Germany is not wholly shared
by the foreign community. The lat

srantfnople has had the latter for
centuries, 1t is now getting the form
er. The incredible burdens which
these Koordish coolies or hamals bear
would seem like fiction to the west
ern world. Frequently / have seen a
man carrying a dozen chairs on his
back; another bore at one time thirty
six of the big square oil-cans which
the Standard Oil Company has made
not uncommon load. l saw a man
with Grand Rapids roll top desk and
the Office chair fastened to it, on his
back. A packing case is one OF the
commonest of loads. saw a coolie
crossing the Galata bridge with a cof-
fin on his back. Now if the awaking
of Turkey means anything, it must
mean the emancipation of the COM
mon people from these ancient bur-
dens.
Big Hats and MosIem Wells.
The advent Of the western styles
involves unforeseen difficulties for an
Oriental people. It ia easy for the
Turk in baggy trousers and shoes that
slip off, to sit cross-legged ON the
floor; when he dons tie. trousers and
patent feathers he must abandon this
fashion. The new furniture of mod
ern style to which Turkey has be-
come SO devoted postulates home
somewhat after the idea of Europe
or America. The new food and the
new ways, all are insidiously under
cutting the old order.
The dress of the women offers per-
haps the best illustration of this.
Most Moslem women W. die along the
streets like water birds on land,
draped from head to he'll in hideous
black ezars. Whether they are old or
young, homely or handsome. nobody
can tell. This custom involves mys-
teries which no mere man can solve.
How two heavily yelled women can
recognize each other on the street is
beyond comprehension. Sometimes
the wells are getting perilously thin,
in the case of the younger women
and their wearers do not hesitate to
stare at their pleasure on foreign
men.
Because she is robed SO outlandish-
ly on the street Is no reason why the
Moslem woman has not the eternal

confusing the hubonic plague with
cholera.
AS is we'll known, there is direct
relationship between cholera and
Islam, for Mecca is the seat Of the
plague. All pilgrims battle in holy
well at Mecca which analysis has
shown, contains more germs than the
sewage of London. That holy water
is carried over the empire and dump
ed into the village wells. A more d1a-
bolical scheme for inoculating ma
ton with disease can scarcely be con-
trived, yet the faithful will not per-
nit the government to touch this
sacred well.
OF course there is modern medicine
In Turkey and by a new law nobody
is allowed to practice without a d.
ploma. None the less the faith IN
charms abides and have seen graves
and specially sacred trees, covered
with rags from the bodies Of diseased
persons, who hope thereby to obtain
a. cure in exactly the same fashion as
that prevailing in Japan and Corea.
Probably the most satisfactory
archaeological museum in the world
is that at Constantinople, with many
priceless treasures. Yet this collec-
ton has been made by taking toll OF
the enterprise and learning OF west
ern nations and educational institu-
lions. All archaeologists at work IN
tho Turkish empire are obliged to
give the government first choice of all
their finds. In sharp contrast with
this wonderful museum is the fact
that all over Asia Minor priceless
archaeological relics in the way of In
scriptions and statues, are to this day
being broken up and burned to make
lime for the villagers.
New Turkey must go long way be-
fore she finds herself standing In the
equality of fellowship with the wide
awake and enlightened nations OF the
