Brownlng's eyes were peculiar, ono
having long focus, the other very
short He had the unusual accom-
plishment (try It and prove) Of closing
either eve without "squinchfng'' and
without any apparent effort, though
sometimes on the street In strong sun
shine his face would be bit distorted.
He did all his reading and writing
with one eve, closing the long one as
he sat down at his desk. He never
wore glasses ana was proud Of his
microscopic eye. He often wrote mt
nutely to show or his powers. When
no left the house to 20 for a walk no
shut the short eve and opened the long
one, with which he could sec an i'm
nnense distance. He never suffered
with any pain In his eyes except once.

EXTENDED SERVICE
BY WESTERN UNION
Usefulness Of TeIegraphic Money
Transfer Service Is Increased.

During the past few years the West
ern Union Telegraph company has
been in the van Of public service cor
purations in putting out new services
to meet modern business and social
demands. The company now an
nounces another innovation for the
benefit of its patrons. The Western
Union company annually transfers by
telegraph an enormous amount OF
money and heretofore the senders of
money have not been permitted TO in
clude in the transfers any communica-
tion of a business or personal charac-
ter to the payee, such information be-
Ing required to be sent by separate
message. Under the new arrange
ments, however, transfers between
points In the United States may in
clude such information and the same
will be delivered to the payee at the
time the transfer is paid. This surely
represents an up-to-date service and
one that should appeal to and be Of
much value to business houses and
the public generally. Through 1t peo-
pie will be enabled to transmit money
quickly with proper instructions to
meet banking obligations, pay in8ur-
ance policies, guarantee purchases, ac.
company bids, purchase railroad
steamship and theatre tickets, pay
taxes. assessments and bills of all do
scriptions, make remittances to trav.
cling statesmen and pupils attending
distant schools, etc. There Is prac'
tically no limit to the purposes for
which this service is available. The
telegraph company is to be commend
ed upon the manner in which 1t Is
broadening the scope and purposes OF
It's various services In order to better
meet the needs of the public.
