ODDITIES OF VISION.

Peculiar Optical Effects and the Yellow
 Spot In the Eye.
 If one places a pfnhead up close to and directly in front of the eye the head of the pin appears transparent and things may be seen as easily through it as through a sheet of isin- glass. the head appearing simply as a large round cloud. If it is placed some what closer no pin or head can be seen at all.
 If one goes into a very dark room and puts a lighted candle near the side of one eye very pretty and peculiar eff fleets are observed. A tracery. form ing a regular network, can be easily detected. and this is merely the shadow thrown by the candle on the retina of the eye of the small capillary blood vessels between the retina and the candle.
 If one looks to the side of dim star in the heavens the star appears great Geal brighter than direct vision makes it appear. This is because the light in the direct view falls on what is known as the yellow spot" or point of keenest vision. As this is not put di- rectly behind the front of the eye the side glance is necessary. Some people can zee stars that way that they can- Lot perceive at all on direct vision.- Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Soho Souare, London.

Soho is perhaps the most curiously derived place name in London. Ac- cording to Samuel Pegge. the an tiquary, Soho square. which has given a name to the district. was first called Monmouth square when the i'll fated Duke of Monmouth had house there. Upon the dukes defeat and execution in 1885 the square was ordered to be called Kings square. and statue of King Charles II. was set up in the middle of 1t. But the partisans of the Duke of Monmouth. wishing to pre- serve distant remembrance of their leader. called it Soho square. from "Soho!" hunting cry adopted by the duke as his watchword at the battle where he was taken prisoner-London Saturday Review.

DO YOUR VERY BEST.

 Bound to Succeed.

Be Earnest and Thorough and You Are
 Bound to Succeed.
 There is feature of Dickens char acter which cannot be too often or too seriously insisted upon, and that is his intense earnestness and thorouShness in everything he did. He said to me more than once:
 My dear boy. do everything at your best. If you do that neither I nor any one else can find fault with you, even If you fail For myself. can honestly say that l have taken as great pains with the smallest thing I ever did as with the biggest"
 In giving advice to young author he said on one occasion:
 "If you want your public to believe In what you write you must believe in 1t yourself. When I am describing a scene can as distinctly see what I am describing as can see you now. So real are my characters to me that on one occasion had fixed upon the course which one of them was to pur- sue. The character. however, got hold of me and made me do exactly the op- posite to- what had intended. but l was so sure that he was right and I was wrong that let him have his own way"
 Whatever he did either in work or at play he always gave of his very best. He hated slackness or half heartedness in any shape or form.-Harper's Weekly.

NATIVE SON OF GOLDEN
 NORTH IS NATURAL sONGsTER

While in the States last winter, Bob Crawford, son of R. M. Craw- ford, of Fairbanks, wrote words and music for number of northern songs which are now being published in Se- attle, and which will be spread broadcast throughout Alaska and the Northwest. Bob is now with the sur vey party on the Nenana river, but his brother, Sam Crawford, is look ing after the publication of his songs.
 Bob Crawford is son of the north, having been born north of '53, dur the early days of the rush to the Klondike. Coming to Fairbanks when but a small boy, he received the greater part of his education in this city. The songs come from his pen appropriately, as he was the first president of the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden North Fairbanks Times.

ALASKA-GASTINE
 MACHINERY LOST,

The machinery lost from the big freighter Seward on her last trip up the coast was consigned to the Alas ka-Gastineau Mining company, of Ju- neau, and not the Alaska Engineer ing commission as previously report ed. The Seward was struck by an unusually heavy swell while off Flat tery, causing chain holding tube mill and a consignment of pipe to snap, and the heavy machinery roll ed off into the sea. For few min utes the crew of the big flat-bottomed freight carrier had an interesting time, as it was feared that her deck load of heavy timbers would also go by the board. She carried 1900 tons Of railroad rails and 40 tons of dyna- mite for Anchorage.

Minneapolis, Jan. 30-One arrest has
been made here and other men are
sought in a case of alleged secretion
of property of large value by former
merchant at Charles City and Usage
Iowa. Criminal prosecution is sought
by large number of creditors, who
found that stocks of goods had sud-
denly dWindled and that when the
merchant was forced into bankruptcy
there was little in the way of assets
The former Iowa merchant arrested
is Arthur Roberts. He was released
on bonds of $4,000 Roberts bondsmen
and attorney have promised to deliv-
er into the custody Of the United
States marshal from Iowa one of his
alleged pertners, for whom a warrant
is outstanding. District Attorney
Frank O'Connor, of New Hampton, is
handling the prosecution. The specific
charge in the case against Roberts is
the secretion of assets from the trustee
in bankruptcy.
Appeared Financially Strong.
On April l, 1913, Roberts engaged in
poS4HCoo aI SiAdI lily, anu at lHil
time his statement of his financial
condition showed assets of merchan-
disc, accounts, cash and fixtures total
ing $12,037.20 with no liabilities. On
March 1. 1914. Roberts shipped a por-
ton Of his stock to Usage and opened a
store. which he placed in charge of rel
atives.
Along in October some Of the larger
creditors made an investigation and
say they found the business hopelessly
insolvent. the assets having dwindled
to something over $4,000 and liabilf-
ties of about $4,000, altho the business
seemed to have been prosperous.
Detectives Employed.
The creditors, some of whom resided
in st. Paul. turned the matter over to
