SEARCH FOR NOTED WOMAN
IN THE INLA.sD EMPIRE

Secret agents, presumably attached
to Scotland Yard and eastern detective
bureaus, are searching in Washington
and Oregon for Mrs. Trevelyan Nap
Ter, daughter of Admiral Seymour and
alleged morganatic wife of King
George of England. The Spokane
uoliee admit that one operative, bear
ing bona fide credentials, has beer in
eastern Washington for a week and
his inquiries, they add, indicate he is
looking for the admiral daughter,
though he declined to state his mission
in this part of the country. The theory
advanced by local detectives is that
t e secret agent seeks to prevent Mrs.
Napier disclosing her idetity. The In
lend Herald, of Spokane, which pub
lished the first intimation of the ag-
ent's movements in the state of Wash
'ngton, declares that the possibility of
Spokane harboring Mrs. Napier easily
could be a fact and discretion keep the
see ct hidden. "Just who is employ
ing the secret agent is not given out"
the paper adds, "but it is claimed by
the pclice that his credentials are

Hypothesls That Seems to Explain
the Constant Revolution Of

The medium in which fresh-water
fishes live gives them chance to see
a great distance only in the horizontal
direction. 1t seems impossible to ex-
plain the. constant revolution Of the
eyeball on any other hypothesis ex-
cept that the optical axis extends for
ward instead of sidewise.
When fish wishes to eat anything,
either at the bottom of the pond or
at the surface of the water, 1t swims
directly toward the object; and in this
case the eyes are instantly adjusted
in line with the body. 80 as to bring
the image of the particle desired upon
the posterior portion of the retina.
In this case they lose their horizontal
position.
II a fish wishes to turn to the right
or left in the water, the first move
ment is that of the eyes in unison in
the direction Of the turning. This
would be entirely unnecessary If the
apparent axis was the axis of the most
distinct vision. as one of the eyes
would see all that was to be seen on
the side of the turning. After this
movement Of the eyes. the body turns
enough to bring the eyes into their

Literary vaudevlIIe.

A New England admirer of Longfel
low proposes that the afternoon OF
February 81 of each year be set aside
in the public schools as time to give
special attention to the poets life and
works. Longfellow was doubtless a
great American poet. but he already
has sufficient place in the schools BY
being represented in every reader put
forth since he lived and wrought. And
there is already too much foolishness
in the schools. and too little reading,
writing and arithmetic. Unless this
tendency toward holidays and special
days in schools comes to an end soon,
1t will be necessary for teachers to
take a course in vaudeville to provide
the needed variety, and about all the
children will take is vacation.-At.

EXPOSURE OF A FALLAcY
Republican Journal Points Out the
Folly Of Excessive "Protec-
ton" Policy.

A correspondent of the Tribune is
panied by its assertion that the duties
on raw wool are too high. He says
and, being in the sheep industry, he
thinks he ought to know-that with
out them the wool industry would per-
ish and sheep become as scarce in
America as snakes in Ireland.
A wool grower. he says. is obliged
to take care of two sheep for an en-.
tire year to get the wool needed for
one suit of clothes. For this wool the
sheepman receives $3.50. and it has
cost him In the meantime on an aver
age $6.SS to take care Of the two
sheep"
The only conclusion one can draw
from this is that the wool raiser is in
an extremely Improbable business,
which he had better get out of as soon
as possible. 1t would seem as il moth
Ing but disinterested love for sheep
could induce him to stay in it. 1t
would take duty of incredible pro-
portions to make his business a pay
ing one. /.
The condition Of this wool grower,
struggling along heroically under an
annual deficit OF s5.3s. is not SO bad
as the correspondent would have US
believe. The time when sheep were
raised almost exclusively for their
wool has gone by. They are raised
now chiefly because they bring forth
lambs and make mutton. The wool is
merely byproduct. Americans have
learned to eat mutton, now that they
are getting 1t of better quality than of
old.
This shepherd who is said to be out
of pocket through patriotic efforts to
provide an all wool suit of clothes for
some American is no argument against
the downward revision of schedule X.
He is an argument for It.. Neither he
nor the other man should call on the
government to back him up in losing
business. The theory that an Ameri-
can who has gone into some industry
where natural conditions are adverse
and success problematical has right
to demand sufficient tariff protection
to make his business profitable is not
In favor among the men and women
who have to pay outrageous prices for
clothing and blankets which have
more shoddy and cotton to them than
they have wool.-Chicago Tribune

Once more the national house Of

q few scattering Republican votes in

as true reflection of the present pub.
lie sentiment on the question. In the

licans, the prospect for the amend

ever before. The only immediate con-

there are other and more substantial
reasons for 1t. While this is the most
fragrant case Of corruption in the re-
cent legislative election Of United

spite of industrious magazine muck
rakers the iniQuity is by no means as
frequent as in a former period. 1t
would be easy to refer to the epoch of
"the Christian statesmen" when there
was little concealment concerning the
corrupt influences in their election to
the senate.
But the potential causes of the
movement soon to eliminate In the
adoption of this amendment are in the
frequent deadlocks disturbing and de-
laying needed legislation, and in the
wide disagreement Of the people and
the legislature as to the choice of the
senator. Many a man now holding a
seat in the senate through the favorit-
ism of a party machine boss operating
upon the legislature, would never have
been selected by the people. On the
other hand. many man Indicated by
the public voice as in the highest de-

ample ground for the change.-Pitts-

Some farmers. and some manufac-
turers, and some politicians, have
done with protection what they could
do with any other good and admir-.
able thing. They have made fetish
out of the doctrine, and they hold the
very word sacred. Instead they should
consider the purpose of the policy of
protection: the advantage Of the
whole people. They should further the
advantage of the whole people in
every way possible. The word is not
sacred. The schedules are not holy
