BUILT FOR WASHINGTON.
a Philadelphia House tho President
Refused to Occupv

- 'aoe'pn'a House tho President
Refused to Occupy.
Inc second year of Washington's ad.
mlnistration the seat of government
was removed from New York to Phil.
adelphia. In the meantime the fedora,
city, Washington. was In building. and
the legislature Of Pennsylvania voted n
sum OF money to build a house for the
president. perhaps with some hope that
this might help to keep the seat of the
general government In the capital. for
Philadelphia was then considered as
the capital of the state.
What was since the University OF
pennsylvania was the structure erect
ed for the purpose. But as soon as
General Washington saw its dimen.
sions and a good while before it was
finished he let it be known that he
would not occupy 1t and should GER
tainly not go to the expense Of pur-
chasing suitable furniture for such a
dwelling. for it is to be understood In
those days Of stern republicanism no.
body thought Of congress furnishing
the presidents house, or If perchance
such a thought did enter into some
aristocratic head It was too unpopular
to be. uttered
President Washington therefore rent
ed house Of Mr.. Robert Morris in
Market street between Fifth and Sixth
on the south side and furnished 1t
handsomely but not gorgeously.-Ex

The Black Of the Eye.

The invariable blackness of the pupil
Of the eye was a puzzle to scientific
men until Professor Helmholtz showed
it to be the necessary effect Of refrac-
ton. Sufficient rays are reflected from
the bottom of the eye to render visible
the parts there situated but since these
reflected rays in emerging from the
eye must traverse the same ocula
media through which they passed In
entering the eye 1t is evident that they
must undergo the same refraction
which they underwent as entering rays
only in an opposite direction. The re-
suit of this is that the paths or the
emerging and entering rays coincide
and the former will therefore return to
the source whence as incidental rays
they originally started. There Is moth
ing in the pupil to reflect light-in fact,
II resembles window looking INTO
dark room.
