an exception The fact that the Seii

This class OF voters as rule so lar
as we have been able to correctly

1T is common knowledge" said one
Of the surgeons, that great physical
hardships may suddenly turn the hair
white. The loss CT color here follows
on certain chemical changes, due to
disturbances Of nutrition, taking place
in the tiny particles of coloring mat
ter which give the hair its color.
"All infants at birth have blue eyes.
In some babies Immediately after
birth pigment granules begin to de-
velop in the iris. Thus they become
brown or black eyed. In others, how
ever, no such pigment formation takes
place and the eyes remain blue or gray
throughout life.
eff this at present blue-eyed ex-con-
vict is really the missing brown-eyed
banker a reasonable explanation Of
the discrepancy in the eye colorings
would be that under the stress Of
physical and mental shock the color
ing matter which had in early life de-
yeloped in each iris had atrophied or
disappeared, leaving the eyes the orig
mad blue ccioriog preseat at birth"

A young farmer consulted DR.. Par

So large was this object that It was
removed with difficulty through the

gun breech and an iron bolt. The
breech measured 3x1Hx1 inches, the
bolt was three inches long. The weight
OF the two was a quarter Of pound.

sign was finally reached.
The sign Of subtraction was derived
from the word minus" The word
was first contracted into mus, with
horizontal line above to indicate the
contraction, which was a printers
freak that may be found in almost any
book bearing a date earlier than the
beginning of the eighteenth century.
After the lapse of a long period Of
time the letters were omitted alto
gether, leaving only the short line so
well known to all.
The multiplication sign was OBJ
tanned by changing the plus sign into
a character resembling the letter x.
This was done simply because multi
plication is but a shorter form Of ad.
dition.
Division was formerly indicated by
placing the dividend above a horizon

dend was placed to the left and the
divisor to the right, with a simple dot
in place of each.
