THE "STEEL GRAY EYE" |IS IN NOVELS ONLY
Expert Says Brown, Blue, Gray or
 Black Eyes Exist Only in Fiction

'eThe steel-gray eye found in novels and often believed in by the general public Is
 a myth" declared Lieut.. Fred Quacken-
 Bureau of Detroit police, according to a
 Detroit special to the New York World.
 Puncturing popular deYusion still further,
 Lieutenant Quackenbush declared, ''the
 deep black eyes exist only in the mind
 of the artist" and added, "all the other
 descriptive adjectives in use for the des-
 ignation of the color of the eye partici-
 pate in the same confusion of popular
 opinion.'
 Backed up by Bertillon as his authori-
 ty and the added weight of a thousand Identification experts, notably Captain
 Evans of Chicago, Lieutenant Quacken- bush pays his respects to ''the brown-eyed damsels," in the words: "rhey do not exist"
 The analytical method as mapped out by Bertillon, has been tested in prisons Jails, asylums, and institutions for 2 years past. To the expert, the brown the gray and the black eye does not exist "The gray eye which we read tha great men are endowed with is an illu- sion,' said Lieutenant Quackenbush. "FoI purposes of expert Identification there
 exists no such colored eye. The gray eye of the general public is nothing more or less than blue eye with more or less of a yellowish tinge. which ap pears gray solely on account of the shad ow cast by the eyebrows. Nothing is more inexact or vague than the designa- ton gray. The so-called gray eyes are generally of light tone

BETHLEHEM STEEL LOANS S3O,OOO,OOO FOR CHINESE DOCK To Build Naval Dock With Heavy Guns at
 Fuchau MAY HAVE EFFECT
 ON CHINA'S CREDIT Understood Loan Is Secured by Credit of China and Present Great Dock
 and Entire Naval Plant
 at Fuchau
nv HOLLAND.

New York, May 23-(S (Special)-1t is Thought here that some inconsistencies are to be found in the recent republi- cation in the United States of a cable dispatch from Shanghai to London, in which it was reported that loan of sS0.000. 900 is to be made to China by the Bethlehem Steel company. The money thus obtained is to be used, ac- cording to the Shanghai dispatch. for the construction of naval dock equipped with very heavy coast guns at Fuchau
 The dispatch reports that the high executive authorities of China, or some of them, do not approve of the loan, being apprehensive that it may affect Chinas credit and, furthermore, that there is no present necessity for great naval constructions at Fuchau. The Shanghai dispatch also reports that it is not imaginable that the United States government, which hitherto has had no knowledge of this transacton, will ac- cord support to a scheme so detrimen- . tai to China's real interests.
 N The inconsistency between some DOT tion of this report and the facts so far as they relate to the United States government is to be found in the an nounced policy of the present admins tration al Washington. One of the first of the acts of this administration was the withdrawal of the moral or other support of the state department for that part of the great China loan which the American syndicate had undertaken to float in cooperation with represen- tatives of five other nations. This was the contemplated loan which was called the "six-nation group loan"
 Of course. in view of that attitude of the state department it is not to be expected that the United States gov ernment will give it's support, moral or any other, to a transaction of this kind or will bring any influence to bear on 1t one way or another. Further more, there does not appear to be any sufficient explanation of the statement that the plan is detrimental to China S real interests
 Apparently the honor and credit of China are pledged to the execution of this financial contract. The loan is to be floated at ai discount of 8 pei cent from the A>ar value. The rate of interest is to be per cent and il addition to the credit of China the SC curitieS- are to be the present grea -doeE at Fuchau and the entire maya plant established there.

blue for the tones and violet interme-
 diate blue for the lighter tones. The eye
 designated as black is not of that color
 There are no more black irises than there
 are truly gray ones. The eyes thus des- ignated are generally deep maroon and sometimes deep slate blue. '"The epithet-and l used the word prop erly-'brown'' frequently applied to eyes that are, properly speaking, known as
 medium maroon dark maroon.
 For the purpose of identification from a truly scientific standpoint, the basis of notation rests on this point: There are in the human species, only two fundamental types of eyes'-all other hues are regard
 ed as intermediate between these two hues
 By unpigmented eyes, the eyes which, examined at close hand, appear to be de-
 void of orange yellow matter, we mean | the asure slaty or intermediate colored eye. This is the blue eye of the popula- | tions of northern Europe. s. .'The hue of the pure maroon eyes is uniform and recalls the shell of the fruit of this name Gtalian chestnuD when it is | ripe and fresh. It is the black or dark brown eye of common parlance, the eye of the Arab. of the neero and southern CTS in general
 1 Lieutenant Quackenbush says that the identification experts of the world have
 their own chart, prepared by Bertllon, whereby the eyes are classified according i to color. When gazing into the eye of a person being registered, the expert looks | into the eyes in the same direction as the | light rays strike. Tn this manner false | colors" are avoided and the proper clas- | sification determined.
 1 Grouped under the c.assification chart l eyes are divided into seven divisions 1 with many sections therein. The seven | divisions are Iris, unpigmented, iris pig mented with yellow, iris pigmented witt orange, iris pigmented with chestnut. iris l pigmented with maroon grouped in cir. | cle. iris pigmented with maroon streaked with green tint, and iris pigmented witf
 pure maroon.
 In vain it was brought to the detective l lieutenant's notice that under the Ser. tillon system of classification for eyes nc swain could properly twang guitar ant sing to his lady love:

 Really, we all feel quite sorry for the people who don't have much time to play, but we'll be very much obliged to them if they will make it possible for us to play little harder.
 The disadvantage now is that. on ac- count of lack of equipment, the big chil- dren of 12 and 15 are obliged to play the same games as the little children of and Is and visa versa.

remind them when mother wants them at certain hour.
 One little girl said: ''Mother says that she doesn't know whether we get into mischief down here or not, but she'd rather send me down here than to see me standing around at home"
 We want to assure mother right here that they are not in mischief. Come down yourself some afternoon and see the long grass and pretty trees (of which there are many varieties) and note the spirit of good nature that pervades the entire playground.
 The suggestions made by our grown-up visitors are always very helpful. Our babies, of whom there are 40 to 50 under 5 years of age, amuse themselves on the sand beds or by rolling one of our big | balls around on the grass It has just been suggested that we nave set of very small. inexpensive swings for these little tots The big swings of which we have four. are too heavy and high for the little children.
