you will get in reply.
With the exception of the stocs
market, the mail order business is III,
only business in which the entire cap.
ital is advanced by the trader i'll ad'
vance of the transaction. Further.
more, it is a strictly cash business
hence there are no risks, no bad
debts and no necessity for the need
to make immediate delivery to the
customer which means capital tied lip
indefinitely. Did you eve stop to
realize what it would mean to your
home town and county in the way Of
more taxable property, better streets
and roads, better schools and local
Improvements if these millions sent
away, lever to return, were invested
right here as they should be? What
would you say to your home mer-
chant if he were to ask you to pay in
advance for every article you pur-
chased from him insight and unseen,
and then be compelled to wait for two
or three weeks for delivery? But this
is what you do every time you send
for anything from a mail order house.
Do you know that there is not a
local paper published in any town N
this country but that can get more
money for advertising and boost
ing" from mail order houses, if it
would but accept it, than it can get

in which it is printed? But news
papers realize that a community is
not builded by the money that is sent

PECULIAR EYES OF FISHES
Scientific Study Has Demonstrated
Many Facts Not Hitherto Known
to the World.

In the effort to discover why fishes
are so near-sighted. scientists have
been making some remarkable expert
mental studies Of their eyes. One OF
the many interesting facts which these
studies revealed was that fishes eyes
compared with human eyes are rela'
lively large. Theslength OF the eye OF
fish is ordinarily about one-twentieth
Of its leagth. while the length Of the
eyeball OF man Il from q sixtieth to
a SEVENTEEN of hig height.
The eyes OF fishes are In constant
use except when they are asleep.
Most fishes have no eyelids. their eyes
being protected from injury by shiny
material or by thick transparent
skin. The purer, or swellfish. which
habitually burrows in sand at the bot
tom of the water, has eyelids which
cover the eyeballs when closed. the
lower eyelid being larger than the
upper. &s5 =
In the experimental work the eyes
Of normal fishes were first examined
with the retinoscope. then by electrical
stimulation the focus was changed
from distant to near objects.
It was found that, contrary to state.
ments sometimes made. the eyes OF
fishes when swimming were focused
for distant vision. Fishes are able to
focus their eyes on near objects-as
close as four inches-by, the action OF
the superior and inferior muscles; they
have no ciliary muscles. It was found
possible by operation on the oblique
muscles to make the fish near.sighted.

UP BY SUBMARINES.
German Destroyer, Turk Steamer and
Two Ottoman Transports Are
Sent to Bottom Of Sea.

London, Aug. 4.-Great Britain and
France have started to carry the sub
marine war to Germany. From the
Dardanelles to the North sea the al
lies undersea craft have. opened a
campaign against the Germans and
Turks which already has cut Constan-
tinople off from Asia, thrown the city
into terror and sunk a German tor
pedo.boat destroyer, 3,000-ton Turk
ish steamer and two Turkish trans
ports.
One French and a second British
submarine, according to official an
nouncements on Monday, augmented
by press dispatches, succeeded in
forcing the Dardanelles and dashing
to Constantinople through the Sea of
Marmora. Within sight Of the Turk
ish capital the submarines shelled and
blew up the Galata bridge across the
Golden Horn, connecting Constantine
pie with Asiatic Turkey, according to
a dispatch to the Times from Mitylene.
To add to the terror, Of the Turks
the British submarine then stole into
the harbor and almost under the walls
of the Top-Kaneh arsenal in Constan.
tinople, where it sent a torpedo into a
transport and sent it to the bottom.
The craft followed this by sinking an.
other transport in Karabogha bay.
According to dispatches from MI
dros this exploit threw the entire
Turkish capital into terror.
The feat Of the British submarine.
as announced by the admiralty, has
added another exploit to the annals of
warfare by bombarding shore posi-.
tons with torpedoes. Turkish powder
mills and the railway of Kara Burnu,
along the Sea of Marmora. were at.
tackled.

The cloudburst came as the climax
of three days Of steady rain. Mill
creek, which divides the city, already
swollen beyond its banks, became a
torrent when the clouds opened up
and swept through the city, carrying
all before it. The business section
was flooded to a depth of five feet and
all lines of communication were
blocked.
Then houses and buildings along the
course of the creek began to tumble
into the flood and were swept away.
The cloudburst lasted fifteen min
utes: Police and firemen started out
in boats to warn families living along
the banks of Mill creek to leave their
homes Immediately. But by that time
houses were topping into the food
and being swept down stream.
Then the dams south Of the city
burst and further torrent of water
was added to the food. In some Sec

Wilson is planning to make national
defense one of the principal subjects
in his next message to congress.
While he will not decide finally on the
policy he will ask congress to approve
until after he has received the reports
requested from Secretaries Garrison

already has given much preliminary
thought to the question. While the
president will make recommendations
to congress on other subjects, the dis.

ed to attract most attention. He is
expected to devote more time to the
preparation of this portion of his mes
sage than he usually does to general
