pound eye and by manipulation with
microscope-it is not difficult to exam
inc a photograph or other object
through it. When this is done a dis
tinct image is seen in each lens.
Carpenter has shown that each lens
reflects but a small portion of the I'M
age looked at and that it requires the
combined action of the 1000 lenses or
the fly to produce the same effect as
that seen by the one human eye. The
human eye is therefore a more per-
feet 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 TO
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 small,
and the question whether insests can
see smaller objects than animals fur
nished with single eyes is not a ques-
tion of optics, but of the sensitiveness
of the optic nerve, and consequently
matter of mere conjecture.-Har-

70 SAVE OLD MANUSCRIPTS.

In the preservation of rare manu-
scripts and books an additional safe
guard has been found in Japanese
silk It's use has removed a fear that
long existed in the minds of libra
rians that the rare old manuscripts
would dry up and return to their orr
ginal elements. fortunately, how
ever, the employment of silk of
extreme thinness and transparency
has settled the question of the life
of these manuscripts for the next
two or three hundred years at least.
By that time, perhaps, some other
method may be discovered. This silk
is thinner than The thinnest tissue
paper, the threads being finer than
spider webs. 1t is pasted over the
manuscript so firmly that it wards
off all dust and air, and yet it is so
transparent that it does not Interfere
with the appearance of the manu-
script any more than would an Ordi-
nary pane of glass. It strengthens
the manuscript so that the danger of
handling is reduced to a minimum.
For some time past the United States
Library of Congress has had in hand
the examination and protection of all
its old manuscripts, employing for
the purpose the silk mentioned. I'm
less one be an expert in old manu-
scripts, he is unable to recognize
the fact that the silk has been used.

AS To INORGANIC MARRIAGE
POSITIVELY PROVES THERE
WAS NO TRUTH IN STORY
OF UNION
QUEEN MARY The ONLY ONE
STORY OF ATTACHMENT TO
BRITISH ADMIRAL's DAuGH-
TER ALL A FAKE

London, Feb. Edward F. Mylius
charged with circulating in Liberator
small paper published in Paris, a
defamatory libel against King George
was today found guilty by jury be.
fore Justice Alverstone and sentenced
to one year imprisonment. The editor
of Lberator is Edward H. James, a
lawyer, who formerly practiced in the
United States. The published article
revived the story that his majesty
while Prince of Wales, contracted a
morganatic marriage with the daugh-
ter of British admiral at Malta.
Suit was brought to set at rest and
for all time this story involving the
king.
The crown was represented by a
brilliant array of counsel, but the
prisoner elected to defend himself. He
demanded the presence in court of
his accuser the king, but this was un-
constitutional and Chief Justice AL
verstone told the prisoner that he
knew this to be the case. Sir Rufus
Isaacs in opening the prosecution said
there was not the faintest Yestige OF
truth in the statements of Mylius, that
the king was not at Malta in 1890,
the year in which the allaged morgan
attic marriage was consummated, and
was never there after 1888 until after
his marriage with the present Queen
Mary. 1t would also be known, he
said, that neither the daughter of Ad-
miral Seymour, Mrs. Napier, to whom
the king is alleged to have been mar
ried, nor her sister, who is dead, ever
went to Malta before 1898. Later Ad-
miral Seymour gave such evidence.

fps read a letter from King George,

what he has to say about Las Vegas
IN his paper, Moderator Topics"
Las Vegas is an old and important
city of the territory. The word "ve-
gas means meadows. 1t is prettily
situated close to the mountains and is
divided by small and thirsty stream
into old and new Las Vegas. The
old part bespeaks the Spanish-Ameri.
can civilization very definitely. The
low, one-story, square, flat-roofed
adobe houses are numerous, although
there are many fine residences and
surrounding yards of green. One of
the largest Wholesale mercantile es-
Establishments in New Mexico, that of
the Charles Ilfeld company. has its
central house in the old town.
The public school here Is large
two-story building presided over in a
mastery manner by Miss Anna Rieve.
Las Vegas proper is substantial and
rather pretty town. The courthouse is
a creditable building. A Carneg'e Ii
brary occupies the center of an entire
block, covered with fine growth of
grass. 1t may be said here that this
city has many trees and lawns. The
public school houses of Las Vegas are

SUCCESS is NOW ASSURED
COUNCIL WILL HAVE SPLENDID
SUPPORT FROM PROPERTY
OWNERS OF DISTRICT

The sewer system will be built,
said Mayor X. D. Goodall this morn
ing. This statement can be taken
as final and authoritative. The plan
OF the Citizens committee has met
with such thorough endorsement that
there is no doubt but that it can be
put into successful operation. It has
been shown forcibly that Las Vegas
people want a sewer system and it
will be constructed for them at the
least possible expense"
In the list of iendorsers of the
sewer construction plan are the
names of several members of the city
council. With the mayor at the
head of the movement and the council
WORKING with him, there is little doubt
but that contracts will be let and work
begun in the early spring.
1t has been impossible as yet to
interview every property owner in
the proposed sewer district. Howev-
er, there have been found not more
than two men who are opposed to
the plan of sewer building as pro
posed by the citizens committee. SO
far. not prominent business man
has declined to subscribe to the
plan.
Some inquiry developed as to the
disposal of the sewage that will be
carried away by the system. 1t may
be explained here that the city
plans to construct disposal works
which will cleanse the sewage of
poisonous matter before it is deposit
ed in a stream
Today several additional names
were added to the list of sewer boost
ers. Tomorrow the list will be more
than doubled in size. If you desire
