Why We Have Two Ewes,

Because we have two eyes the things
we see seem solid and not fiat, with
he result that we can judge their dis
lance from us with fair correctness.
Look through a window at house
across the street with one eye closed
and then with the other eye closed.
The bars of the window frame will
cut across the opposite house in differ
ent places. The two fields seen with
the eyes separately, although in the
main alike, differ. When you look at
the house with both eyes open the two
fields seen by the two eyes are COM
bined and the house across the street
assumes depth and relief. Although
we see house with each eye, We see
only one house with both eyes. This
makes the stereoscope possible-an in
strument so designed that the two eyes
are made to converge on a single point
and yet to see two different pictures.
If these two pictures represent chair
as it would appear to the right and
left eyes respectively they are per-
ceived as one solid object. - Popular

The Word Caters.

Episcopal CATERS cannot date from q
very remote antiquity. The very word
"gaiters" is almost newcomer to the
language. Johnson's Dictionary does
not recognize its existence. 1t does not
occur before 1160. and even in 1902 a
military dictionary had to define it as
"a sort of spatterdashes." "Guetre,' -
however, the French original, goes back
at least to the fifteenth century. and
the origin of that is lost. though ETY.
biologists compare all sorts of words in
all sorts of languages, including an old
German word for baby's christening
cloth. The one certainty is that CATERS
has nothing to do with gait in spite of

Two Views of a Treaty.

The treaty of Client, which ended
the war of 1912, as signed on the 2Sth
of December, 1914. was variously re-
garded. Henry Clay, one of the signers,
thought it "a - bad treaty" and did
not hesitate to say so. In certain high
quarters in England, on the other hand,
it was looked upon as a great oppor-
tunity thrown away.
"An able minister would have con-
tinued the war;" Lieutenant General
Sir Charles Napier declared, until the
northern states withdrew from the
Union, making a separate treaty with
England. after which England could
have raised the negroes of the south,
marched to Washington at the head of
an immense force of armed and disci-
plined black regiments and dictated
peace. making Delaware an independ-
ent black state in alliance with Eng
land" So much depends upon the
point of view.-From "0ur Nation In
the Building" by Helen Nicolay, I'm

SUPREME AT CHESS BOARD
Paul Charles Morphy, American, Was
One of the Greatest Players the
World Has Ever Known.

Paul Charles Morphy, the famous
American chess player, is classed as
perhaps the most remarkable chess
player of modern times" He was
born in New Orleans in 1887, and was
notably precocious as child; he
showed his precocity particularly in
games of chess, and before he was thir-
teen had defeated many well-known
amateurs. For several years he stud
led law at the College of South. Caro-
lima, and played chess only occasion
ally. But in 1857, at the first Ameri-
can Chess congress, held in New York,
he easily defeated the best players
that could be brought against him.
In 1858 Morphy went to England,
and there defeated Loewenthal, Boden,
and Bird, and performed the most
astonishing feats in simultaneous
games without the board. When he
was in Paris the same year, he won
five out of eight games with Harr-
witz, and gave many exhibitions of
blindfold playing. 1t was these last
that were responsible for the early
breakdown of his health. After his
return to the United States, in 1859,
he defeated the visiting German ex-
pert. Andersen, in seven out of eleven
games. He was admitted to the bar, and
began to practice law in New Orleans.
But the strain of his blindfold con-
tests had been too great for his mind,
and he was forced first to give up
chess altogether, and then to abandon |
all mental occupation. He lived in |
retirement until his death, in 1884. |
His activity thus covered a compare |
lively short space of time. Morphy's |
skill is described as inexplicable. He
never was a close student of chess.
He played his games easily and quick
ly, with no preparation and little hesi-
tation. Yet his combinations were
remarkable for finesse, depth, ele-
gance, and soundness" He also pos
sessed a phenomenal memory.
