II Sees an Object by Piecemeal and
Not at a Glance.
The eye does not take in an object
at glance. but piecemeal. 1t follows
the outline of the object, but does so
by jumping from point to point in an
irregular manner, never twice alike.
In looking al a large circle, for in
stance, the movement is not regular.
the gaze passing from point to point
until a complete mental image of the
circle is formed. even though the per-
son undergoing the tests starts at the
top of the circle and attempts to fol-
low its outline all around back TO the
starting place. Such ocular move
ments are so rapid that one is not
aware of them.
Proof of the irregular movement of
the eye may be provided, according to
the Optical Journal and Review, by
means of the motion picture camera.
A small. bright light is placed across
the room, and this forms a small image
ion the cornea of the eye. AS the eye
attempts to follow the curve of the
test object the motion picture camera
takes a rapid succession of views of
the eve and its bright spot. Then a
comparison of the resulting prints and
the position of the bright spots in each
shows the movements of the eyeball

BE BRIEF!

The management of this company
has had repeated complaints from
subscribers that they were often un-
able to get numbers, owing to the fact
that others were holding lines for an
unreasonable time. If the gossip and
unnecessary conversation over the
wires could be eliminated, the trouble
would be largely done away with.
Please be brief and cut out all unneces-
sary talk. Remember that your neigh
Dor has equal rights to yourself over
the wire, and that when you hold
line an unreasonable time you are
robbing him of his rights. Be Brief.

THREE TWINS" AT THE
OPERA HOUSE TONIGH t

One cannot get away from the charm
and graceful tilt of Hoschna's music.
1t permeates Three Twins" like the
fragrance of a lovely bouquet of flow
ers.
Its rich melody made Madame Sher-
ry' the success that it is; it is a rift
of absolute sunshine. Unlike many
composers of modern trifles, he never
repeats himself. One musical comedy
records for last season-and is likely
to equal that record this season, if
genuine merit goes for anything-is
due in great measure to the delight
fully tuneful score which every mo-
ment is of superior quality.
unsteady then, Three Twins" is a
rare treat, even if it be only gossa-
mere-like in its pretty airiness and
delicate fancy. Nothing to equal it in
likeable, wholesome way is current
in American musical comedy this sea-
son.
But, strangely enough in musical
comedy, music-vocal music-is held
of the strictest account. 1t is the riot
of color, the flashing of skirts, the nov
city of lights, the whirI of the dance,
the nonsense of the comedian that at
tracts most.
All these are given rather sumptu-
ously in Three Twins" which will be
the offering at Glover's Opera House,
Tuesday, Jan. 81.

ALDERMEN Want
MUNICIPAL PROBE
Into ThesFinanCiaI AffairSIOf
Atlanta

Atlanta, Ca, January 20.-When
Mayor Jim Woodward went into office,
like most politicians, he remembered
his friends and, likewise, his enemies.
In the matter of committee assign
ments, he gave all the big and in
portant chairmanships to Woodward
members of council and all those Of
little consequence to Woodward
men.
Among the latter he assigned Alder
man Nutting to the municipal research
committee and Alderman Maddox to
the committee on freight rates and
transportation, two committee which
in the recent past have seldom held a
meeting and which have been little
more than names.
But Alderman Nutting and Alder
man Maddox put their heads together
and begun to figure on plans. The re-
suit is they have gone before the
finance committee with strong back
ing, the former to ask an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for a probe of the city
government, Mayor Woodward includ.
ed, and the latter for like amount to
investigate the Atlanta freight rate
situation.
1t is said there Is some likelihood of
these appropriations being made, and
that in addition to having something
to do, these committees will become
quite important. Besides that Alder
man Nutting's committee may have the
altogether satisfying task of investi.
eating Mayor Woodward himself, al
ong with other city officials.
Thus the investigating process
promises to start early in the new adj

HIRED FIREBUG

STRANGE STORY
HOW MANY FIRES STARRED
Tzzy The Painter" Tells of
FirGbug Tricks

New York, January 20.-Additions to
the striking revelations to the extent
to which arson for profit is practiced
in this city, furnished by "Izzy the
Painter" the convicted fire bug in
former, were made by him today to
the district Attorney whose office spent
a busy day preparing for the examin-
alton Of witnesses in the arson trust
investigation by the grand jury tomor-
row, when more indictments may be
returned
Ivy" who is more formally known
as lsadore Stein, continues to tell vi
fires he made throughout the city, gi,-
ink facts and circumstances with the
greatest detail and accuracy" says a
statement from Assistant istrict At
torney Weller.
Stein, who according to the authorit-
les, has confessed to setting mort than
fifty fires, told the district attorney that
the vicinity of a fire engine house was
preferred as the location of a fire, Mr..
Weler's statement said, as when no
alarm was turned in it took longer for
information about the fire to get to
the fire marshals Office, giving time
for the odor of gasoline or benzine
used by the fire bug to disappear.
Stein says that more than a thous-
and people have asked him to make
fires for them since he came to this
city in 1901" the statement adds.
Stein says that while standing on the
street corner two of three people each
day would ask him to make fire fol
them. In one case a man told Steir
he wanted to have a fire, but that he
could not have it until the following
week, because he wanted to move out
his new piano. Accordingly, the piano
was moved out and Stein went ahead.

{. ROCKS, OF AMERICAS,
INDICTED BY COURT
True Bill is Found in United
States Court

Macon, Ga, Jan. 20.-The scheme
of c. Rocks, the enterprising manage
of the American Grand Prize Con-
test" having headquarters in Ameri-
Gus, to get rich quick at the expense
of the ignorance of relatives of de-
ceased persons, was carefully looked
into by the United States grand jury II
session here, and a true bill returned
against Rocks.
The operations of Manager" Roo KS
are alleged to have been carried on in
June of last yea With headquarters
in Americas, Rocks was beginning his
business through the United States
mails when postal inspectors got wise
to his game.
The scheme, as outlined in the allie
cations of the Indictment, was as fol-
lows: Rocks would obtain from news
papers over the country, by careful
survey of the obituary columns, the
names of persons deceased and their
former addresses.
In letter to the deceased person,
which naturally would be opened by
survivors of the deceased, Rocks
would advise that the then deceased
person was the luckiest of all in the
contest, having just been awarded the
grandest and greatest prize of the
drawing, handsome $500 eight-piece
set of silver
Rocks further advised that on =
ceipt of 81 the prize would be sent, but
on a failure to hear the next nearest
contestant would get the glorious cap
ital prize"
The government charges against the
defendant that this intention was to
defraud the person through the mails
by sending on receipt of the 81 a set
of six teaspoons, one butter knife and
one sugar-spoon, all of the cheapest
ware known as white metal" 1t is
charged that the cost of the stuff, in
Guiding postage, would amount to 40
cents, leaving a net profit of 60 cents
to Rocks.
The government alleges that letters
were sent to Mrs. Margaret L. Lawle",
322 Howard avenue, East End, Pitts
burg, and to Mrs Emma Rayle, 1041
Atwell avenue, Providence, R. I.

these literate people belong to the
"gente decente." while the "cholo" and
