Eyes That Follow You.

You probably have noticed that
the eyes in some portraits follow
you wherever You go. 1t is a bit
uncanny to move about a room
and have the eyes of a pictule al
ways upon you, and some super
stitious people are afraid to go
into a gallery where portraits of
their ancestors are to be found.
The effect is simply an optical il
lusion and is secured by having
the eyes in the portrait looking
directly toward the front. Un-
der such circumstances the pupil
is necessarily in the middle, with
an equal amount of white" on
either side. This relation does
not vary at all with the position
of the observer. No matter where
you stand, the pupil will be in
the middle of the eye and the eye
will seem to be>lOoking at you.-

Woman Suffrage.

the backward remnant will be
hustIing to catch up. The move
ment has passed the stage of
doubt and ridicule, and has al
most passed the stage of arsu-

amazing. Women vote in eleven

Children Cry
FOR FLETCHER'S
CA 8 TO RIA

When the late P. T. Barnum re-
marked that the American peo-
pie liked to be humbugged he ev-
identity had in mind the people of
the day in which he was famous,
but it is the surest thing in this
world that it could not be applied
to the people of the present day.
Of course, when the dean OF
showmen made this remark he
referred to amusements. The
Howe Great London Show, which
is to be here, is a direct contra
dictiOn to the opinion of Mr.. Bar
mum, and on Tuesday, Aug. 81,
when this show is to be seen here,
the thousands who will flock to it
will have the opportunity of see-
ing how differently the manage
ment of this show thinks, The
word humbug was eliminated
from it's vocabulary when thelfrst
thought of the shows Organiza-
tion sprung into existence and
has remained eliminated ever
since.
The management has carefully |
avoided the least thing that would |
have tendency to deviate from |
truthfulness and honesty. The |
show has been organized along |
lines which have given it a uni
versal reputation for merit and
fair dealing that has placed it in |
a class by itself. In selecting |
features and acts care at all times
has been taken to offer only such |
as could not offend, but would |
have a tendency to elevate while |
entertaining. Only such acts as
are entirely new find a place on
the extended program, and in Sc
curing them money is never con-
sidered. It is the same in the |
colossal menagerie. While there
are a certain number of animals
which have been seen before by
some, there are many rare ones
that have never found their way |
into any geological collection be-
fore. To sum up, there is no
show on the road today where the |
performance given is of equal |
merit and where the menagerie |
has been SO carefully selected as |
that with the Howe Great Lon
don Show, which will be here
Tuesday. Aug. 81.

The directing genius of the present
campaign of the Ohio Sunday School
association to raise 100000 as a sus-
tanning fund is woman, Miss Anne
Coushaine. With her, President w.
G. Clippinger, General Secretary ]. D.
Darling and others consult and ad-
wise. 1t is her experience that is of
value.
Miss Coushaine was for IL years
member of the staff of the New
York Times and is an experienced
newspaper woman as we'll as an ex-
perienced campaign manager She
has had campaigns for sums ranging
between $4,000 and 100000 in Read
ing and JOhnstown, Pa; Kokomo and
South Bend, Ind; Weehawken and
Union Hill, N. j., and New Bedford,
Mass. She has managed campaigns
for 100000 to 100000 in Schenec-
tady, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Kan
sas City and Pittsburgh
The success of Miss Coushaine's e.
forts in raising money is based large.
ly on minute organization.

High and Low Points
in Ohio.

Where are the highest and low.
est points in Ohio? This question
is frequently asked and a variety
of answers is given.
Travellers over Ohio are i'm
pressed with the large number
of highest places and it some
times appears that almost every
conspicuous hill is put in that
class" said Prof. ]. A. Bownoc-
ker of the department of geoIO-
gy. Ohio State University. 1.-THE
place, however, has been long
known and it's height determined.
About one mile east of Bellefon-
taine, Logan county, is Camp
BELLS hill, whose summit extends
1.55O feet above sea level, and it
is distinctly the highest place in
Ohio. From Logan county a belt
1000 feet or more above sea lev
.el, and in places 20 miles wide,
extends south almost to the Ohio
River. but its surface, in the
main, is fiat or rolling, and no
conspicuous hills exist.
"Other areas 900 feet or more
above sea level extend from Nor
row county east to the state line
and from Geauga county south to
Monroe. Perhaps each of these
counties has the highest place.
in Ohio, but elevations above
1,2OO feet are uncommon. Little
Mountain, a few miles south of
Painesville, is such a place, tho
its elevation is only 1890 feet
and hence nearly 300 feet lower
than CampbelPs hill. Jacobs
burg, in southern Belmont coun-
ty, whose altitude is 1898 feet,
is another one Of the highest
places
''The lowest place causes less
confusion. Lake Erie is 57S feet
above sea level, and, of course,
is lower than the streams which
flow into it. Southward flowing
waters sooner or later find their
way into the Ohio River, and.
where that stream crosses the
Ohio line into Indiana, is the low
est place, and it's elevation is on
ly 428 feet above sea level"

Ohio State Fair.


Children's Day again a feature,
and With other things popular
with the public again a part OF
the program, the Ohio STATE Fair
will open next Monday for what
is expected to be the biggest Fair
in history-and from the public
standpoint-the best. Weeks and
months Of newspaper discussion
of the State Fair has led the State
Agricultural Board to adopt the
policy that the State Fair is not
primarily money-making insti-
tuition, but that it is the peoples
show, on the peoples playground,
and that to figure cut the most
which can be given them for their
admission price would please the
people better than simply to see
big sum of money on the profit
side of the ledger. The Board,
therefore, has figured on how to
give a big one cents worth of
pleasure for every cent the visit
ors spend; it wants to give the
biggest show possible without |
pilirg up any debts for tax pay
ers to settle.
Modified rules for exhibitors
give promise of the largest dis
plays of livestock, farm products,
machinery, etc., ever seen in
Ohio. Larger prizes in various
departments have attracted more
exhibit 1rs; larger purses and ad-
option Of the policy Of six monies
instead of four to race winners,
with no deduction has resulted
in the largest entry list for the |
races of any state fair in the
country this year. In real sport,
the State Fair races are expected
to furnish as many thrills as any
of the fam 0us mile tracks of the
country. The state itself will be
a large exhibitor. One entire
building has been set aside for L
state exhibits, an0 the State In
dustrial Commission will have the
largest display ever attempted by
any state department. It's Safe
ty First" show and other exhih-
its will give the people their first
clear idea of what this large De-
partment is doing for the people.
The State Board of Administra-
ton will have an enlarged exhibit,
and in addition will show fifty
head of fine Guernsey cattle. and
farm products, raised at state in
stitutions.
One of the big features will be
the spectacular and educational
PAINS fireworks display-"Open-
ing of the Panama Canal" which
will be shown at night. Four
hundred and fifty persons par
ticipate in this production. A
fete day at Panama, in which the
residents are gathered TO see a
great circus performance, is in
