AS a result OF injuries received
while at work at the South quarries
several days ago, Joe Thomas, an

since the accident.
Mr.. Thomas was hit on the leg by

limb was necessary. in order to save
his life. He was told this by attend

The deceased was unmarried and
was about 80 years Of age, most Of
which he had lived in the United

German Military Critics Say

BERLIN (via Amsterdam). April 30.
The news that the main British
Mesopotamian army. bottled up by the
Turks at Kut-el-Amara, had surrendered
caused great rejoicing here.
German military critics had been pre-
dieting the fall Of Kut-el-Amara for
months, and the sudden turn of English
press dispatches from high sounding OPP
timism to deep skepticism regarding the
situation in Mesopotamia confirmed the
belief that the surrender of General
Townshend was only a matter OF time.

fects Of the fall OF Kut-el-Amara as seen
by a German military critic. who gave
them privately on the assumption that
the report of General Townshends sur
render is true:
Coupled with the victory Of the Turks
in the immediate vicinity OF the Suez
canal, which was officially announced
here from Constantinople Friday. the
capture OF Kut-el- Amara gives deci-
sive turn to the whole military situation
in the Orient.
II releases at least two-thirds OF the
Turkish army which had been concen-
trated In Mesopotamia for the aim now
attained. Part of the Ottoman forces
released are expected to rush to Ana
tolia to wrest Trebizond from the Rus

to divide the swarm, after which 1t
will be noticed that the one having

About nine-tenths of the hive are
workers, or females, say, twelve to
fifteen thousand. These are the busy
bees referred to in books. They get

They fly with great force, and as
straight as a bullet. Sometimes they
try to go through man on their way
to the hive, but only get part way

Day after day she is forced to work,
and very often the burdens she Is
forced to carry are disgracefully
heavy for a woman. But what else
is there for her to do? She has no
homework to perform. She cannot
read. She is not educated, and she
has not been taught to think. If the
right to work in the fields were denied
her she would be the most miserable
creature alive. These things must be
viewed from the Chinese and not from
the western point of view.
Every writer on Chinese matters
makes mention of the filial respect dis
played by Chinese young people. Yet
1t simply does not exist. They are
misled by the fact that ancestors are
worshiped and old people reyered. 1t
has to be said of the Chinese peasant
that he never allows his old father or
his old mother to starve so long as he
has a handful of rice to share There
are no poorhouses for old people In
China. They are not needed. But be-
tween child and parent there is no
sign of respect. Men and women in
China are not respected until they are
either dead or approaching death.
They they become tremendously i'm

fool and tool while she is still young
and vigorous. She is venerated and
her opinion gravely regarded when
she is In her dotage. But no chill

it is, is as nothing to the nature of 1t.

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. The length of the eye Of
a fish is ordinarily about one-twentieth
of its length, while the length of the
eyeball Of a man is from a sixtieth to
seventeen of his 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 puffer, 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.
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.
1t 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. 1t was found
possible by operation on the oblique
muscles to make the fish near-sighted,
far-sighted, or astigmatic.

Tho SWiftest Thing We Know.


So far as we know, Calico was the
first to try to verify the suspicion
that light was not really free from
the conditions which trammel ordi-
nary motion. In his endeavor to meas
ure the speed Of light, Calico sta
toned two observers a couple Of miles
apart at night each armed with dark
lantern. One of them suddenly dark
ened his lantern, and the other was
instructed to do the same, the moment
that the first light disappeared. Gal
ileo reasoned that If light really took
q finite time to cross the distance, it
would be measured by half the inter-
val between the darkening of the first
Observers lantern and the disappear
ance of the second light from his gaze.
The argument was perfectly sound,
but as the time in question was about
one-fifty thousandth part of a second,
it Is no wonder that the observer
failed to detect 1t. Yet it is on a
quite similar plan that all the modern
experimental determinations Of the
speed of light have been made.
