HOW GLASS EYES ARE MADE

From the Chattanooga News.
 The daily consular reports is one or the most interesting publications that comes to the exchange table. There IS a variety of contents not found anywhere else outside an English monthly like Tit- Bits Who would look to the consuls for a treatise on the making Of glass eyes, But that is what Frank Dillingham;, our representative at Colburg, has furnished and a most readable dissertation 1t IS, too, quite worthy of a place in an encyclo- pedia. Mir. Dillingham; begins with looo when Ambroise Pare published accounts of the artificial eyes of his tune. lie traces the industry down to the present day If seems to have been more than 200 years between the day of Pare and the perfection of the artificial eye so that IL became of practical use. Even then the glass eyes were soft and very destrucu- ble and lasted on an average only three or four months, so that they were within the means of only the rich. The greatest advances in the industry seem to nave been made by the plain glassblowers or r,huringia. working in connection with the norcelain painters Their tireless ex- neriments led to the discovery of an ideal material, known as cryolite glass. Al the same time they brought the coloring and shading of the eye to the highest perfection. Up to 1880 artificial eyes were to be detected by their sharp outlines This difficulty has been overcome entire lv and in addition eyes are now shaped to suit the customer. Wearers Of glass eyes do not have to remove them at night now. The modern eyes also wear nettcr and more comparatively safe from accidental breakage. In Germany the craft is practiced by few men who nave learned it from their fathers and Will hand it on to their children. Each works alone in hls cottage, with small glass; blowers outfit.

Rights Before Congress

The initiative, referendum and re- call know no party lines. Senator Works of California, republican, ad- vocates them as readily as does an Oklahoma senator. Senator Bourne, republican, is as warm in the advo- cacy of these new forms of popular government as is Senator Chamber lain, a democrat. No party can lay claim to these new developments of the popular will. Senator Works warned the republican party, of which he is a member, that if it did not heed the Arizona demand made upon it for an indorsement of the initiative, referendum and recall it would go down "to defeat and final destruction and oblivion" These methods of pop ular rule, he went on to say, fare earnestly demanded by an overwhelm- ing majority of our people of all political parties"
 He held up the Lorimer case as a logical result of the older methods of the republic, and he unflinchingly urged the adoption of newer and bet ter methods-of a direct return, in short, to popular rule. He expressed the hope, in conclusion, that if the people of Abzona are refused admis- sion "they would stand on their man. hood and stay outside until the poli- tics of this country is purified, re- generated and elevated so that their progressive and enlightened ccnstitu- tion will be their sure passport to statehood"
 This will certainly do very well for a maiden speech from republican senator elected to serve a staunch and unswerving republican state. The great reforms named are wholly out side of party lines and there they should remain, so that they can be considered on their merits. They are spreading over the country as rap idly as great changes should spread

Washington Weather and Inaugura-
 tions

Chairman Henry of the committee on rules in the House is sponsor for the new bill to change the date for inauguration to the last Thursday of March. The matter involves a con- stitutional amendment, and if a change is to be made it would seem to be best to substitute the last Thursday of April for the present date. Early March is unfit in Wash ington, as rule, for any outdoor ex- ercises. Such a date is a promoter of pneumonia and general discomfort. In the last House one more vote would have passed a bill providing for new inauguration date, and it, is hoped that the present Congress will be more reasonable.
 No one can furnish a single reason for retaining the present inauguration date and the desired change may be indorsed in the present Congress without a dissenting vote. With the dreadful experiences of the last inau- guration fresh in the public mind it ought not to be difficult to secure an unanimous vote in both houses in favor of the proposed change.

Some Novel Advertising

Birmingham is certainly getting some fine advertising in Georgia these days, said sn Atlanta man who was here yester- day. "One of the big dry goods houses in Atlanta is using it's advertising space in one of the big afternoon papers to ex- plain the workings of commission govern ment in Birmingham. The articles are well written and are presented in such a way as to attract unusual attention.
 "I travel over Georgia and I hear them discussed everywhere. It is certainly a novel proceeding all round. In the first place, 1t seems strange that a big dry goods house would be paying for valua- ble space to write up a good feature of a competitive city. In the second place it has picked out newspaper which goes all ever the state of Georgia.
 But suppose the main object is to at- tract attention and it is succeeding ad- nirably. Birmingham has never before been so completely the chief subject of discussion all over Georgia as it is today,

MIR. UNDERwooD,s COURAGE

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The Advertiser admires, and the people of Alabama admire. the courage of Con- gressman Oscar Underwood, who as chairman of the ways and means com mittee has taken firm stand for a rad ical reduction in tariff charges and par ticularly for a reduction in the wares and articles made by the big steel cor porations. The significance which at- taches to MT. Underwood's stand for a reduction on steel, lies In the fact that he represents the Birmingham district, the great steel-making district of the south.
 Undoubtedly great pressure Is being brought to bear to force MT. Underwood to abandon the position he has taken. For material and business reasons, 1t Is con- ceivable that some of his own people not connected with the steel business will urge him to abandon his firm stand for the democratic doctrine of low tariff.
 But we miss our guess If this pressure has any effect. Congressman Underwood is a man of courage and conviction and as chairman of the ways and means com mittee, the Advertiser expects to see him continue to display that courage. notwith- standing the fact that he represents steel and iron district, and is made to bear the brunt of heavy pressure, in spired by political and commercial ex- pediency
 MT. Underwood is not the man to weak en and give way before it. The people of Alabama are applauding him for his position He is playing the part of a militant democrat

Bishop Mackay-Smith

''The Right Rev. Alexander Mackay- Smith has announced his intention to re- sign his Jurisdiction as bishop of the Pro testant Episcopal diocese of Pennsyl- vania." said churchman. "He also an- nounces that at the diocesan convention next month he will ask for an election of a bishop coadjutor and also for suffra- gan.
 Bishop Mackay-Smith Is one of the most distinguished Episcopal ecclesiastics in the United States. He is not only a man of great force of character, but he IS one of the most eloquent preachers who has ever stood in the pulpit. I first heard him preach when he was rector of St. Johns church in Washington, D. c. In so large and cultured a community as Washington many excellent preachers are heard, but the four or five ministers that I used to hear there were poor indeed compared with Dr. Mackay-Smith.
 'The news of Bishop Mackay-Smith's decision to resign his jurisdiction in Penn sylvania within year after his conse- cration will come as a surprise to many, but not to those who have known of the state of his health. Despite his impaired physical condition the bishop has stood at his post since last October. Since he resumed his duty after a years absence in Europe for the benefit of his health he Las not missed an Episcopal appoint ment"

Incidental Mexican Bullets

Hostilities in time of war should presumably occur in the territory of a belhgerent, not in that of neutral. The United States has not, however, recognized the parties who are fight ing on or near the border as bellig- erents. This country is blind to the international legal fact that war ex- ists in Mexico, and this renders the situation at Douglas or Fl Paso all the more confusing and difficult.
 A commander in Juarez or Agua Prieta seeks first of all chance to overcome his adversary in Mexico, and he cannot stop to consider where the bullets may go that are not de- posted in Mexicans along his front. The Douglas or Fl Paso neutrals have been advised to keep out of the reach of incidental bullets, and this seems to be good sense, all things consid- cred.
 l. The reply of the Mexican govern ment to President Taft's remon- strance against incidental bullets at Douglas seems to show that there are two sides to the story. The side that the Diaz government presents goes to show that the Douglas people were either out sightseeing or else were engaged in aiding the insurrectos, or both. The full official reply had not been received at this writing. The outline of it, however, attempts to put share of the blame on the people of Douglas.
 It is reasonably certain that bills for pecuniary damages will follow any bullets that incidentally cross the frontier, and this will be the case regardless of who fired them or of the result of the civil war which ex- ists in Mexico. No doubt the Mexi- cans, be they federals or insurrectos, will continue to shoot to the best ,ad- vantage, letting the bullets fall where they may. The bills for damages will be presented later.

 It is believed a general installment of the new banks would greatly pro- mote the saving habit and that this would prove a great force for the national good. The French people are doing far better in this respect than our people, and they have long had every facility for placing their savings in postal banks.

Orthodoxy in Church Circles

''There may be less orthodoxy among Frotestants than was in evidence 90 or 10 years ago." said a layman. but believe the majority of those who now attend the Wesleys, Jonathan Edwards, James Henley Thornwell and othe. of the i'm mortals.
 ''The famous theologians referred to had that fine metaphysical cast which made their reasoning sure. Many of the mod ern theologians revel in the new theolo- gy; but this so-called new age theology is poor indeed compared with the old. The thousands who attend divine worship to- morrow believe absolutely in the divinity of Christ, no matter what the new the ology people may say about it."

THE BARBARITY OF SLEEP

From the Atlanta Journal.
 Edison is credited with having said that sleep is but an idle habit the race fell into before electric lights were invented. And pray. what indictment had the cave man to stay awake after dark? Or the cave woman? There were no shows to attend, no neighbors worth visiting, no bridge whist or poker, no novels, and it may be seriously doubted if there was even an interesting bit of scandal to pass around. Naturally, then, after the family had drunk its evening blubber and the wolves began to whine in the starlight everybody poked the fire, yawned and went to bed to escape the sheer stupidity of an existence after o'clock. But in our own enlightened era whosoever chooses may make every hour of the four and twenty high noon and so. while some folk are abed by o'clock, others never go home till morning.
 Viewed in the light of this very scien- tiflc and sociological truth, the story from Woodbine, Iowa, that a chicken fancier of that town has educated his hens into laying eggs at all hours of the night simply by equipping their coops with electric bulbs, becomes altogether credible. This progressive poultryman, 1t seems, has made his chicken house as radiant as day. From the outset the results were amazing. Lazy old Madam Perteotes, that hitherto were as idle as 6 painted hen upon painted barnyard, cacllled far into the night, while some of the naturally serenuous layers brought on nervous prostration from overwork This Is the only known instance, save in "Chanticler,' of chickens remaining awake after sundown.i Perhaps, however, they keep such hours for the same reason that mankind kept them, because there Is nothing more diverting for them to do
 The Woodbine experiment has much to commend 1t to all truly philosophic minds.

Deposits in Postal Savings Banks

At the end of three months the AS postal savings banks opened in the lesser towns of the country held $201 ,961 deposited by 4307 persons. These are modest figures alongside the reports from banks in the large cities, but these figures are regarded by experts as evidence of the public need for more postal banks. In the list published at the end of March the Leadville postal bank comes first, showing 427 depositors, with $34,679 to their credit, and Newberry, s. C., is tailender, it's depositors numbering but IT, and their accounts aggregat- ing but $1s6. Bessemer is the happy average, and it's postal bank promises to become an active factor in it's de- velopment.
 Forty-five additional postoffices are to be established on May 1, mak- ing the total number 93. Why the Postmaster General is proceeding so
