GLASS EYE ExPL0DES
Artificial Optic Cracks Like Pistol
and Injuries Wearer.

Building Inspector Frank r. Min
ner, of Allentown, Pa, was the victim
of an accident, the cause of which
physicians were unable to explain,
having never heard of a similar occur
renee.
Inspector Minner met with mis-
hap twelve years ago which resulted
in the loss of an eye, and since then
he has been using glass one. which
he changes every year.
While Minner was engaged in con
yersation with a man at his office IN
the city hall, the glass eye suddenly
exploded with a report like that OF
pistol shot.
Minner fell over dazed, and his com
panion was at loss to know wha
had happened until blood began t
snurt from the inspectors eye. A ply
sician found the socket of the ey'
badly lacerated, and it is feared tina
particles of glass penetrated the brain
in which event serious results ar
feared.
One physician advances the strang
theory that the eye was made OF ce
uloid instead of glass, and that tn
natural heat of the body caused IL

Payment In Advance.

CAS- to inheritance, that should
prove no exception, for the money re-
ceiyed, if fair, should stand as pay
ment for services rendered or should
be looked upon as payment in ad-
vance for services to be done, and the
man who inherits great wealth should
in consequence be the man whose du-
ties toward society are the heaviest.
In the United States we generally
have a clear construction of the dig
nifty of labor, but there is room for
Improvement. Public opinion never
will be what it should be until the
badge of disgrace is put on the idlers
however rich"
Mr.. Bryan then went in to the ques
ton how much money man can ac
cumulate legitimately during a hf'
time. He said there is one man worti
five hundred million dollars, and !
this money was acquired honestly h
must have rendered fifteen milliol
dollars worth of service each year.
