Dempsey-Willard Match Has

Toledo. o., June 13.-With the
heavyweight championship contest be-

NO EXPRESSION IN THE EYES
Quite as Much In Those OF CLAUS as In
the Natural Ones, IL Recent
Assertion.

| A writer In the London Chronicle
asserts that the human eye never
changes its expression, and no doubt
he is correct in that assertion. We
may take 1t Tor granted, If he is just
a writer, that he never discovered this
/ for himself. but is merely recording a
fact that has been demonstrated by
| scientific observers. The eye appar-
entity expresses variety of emotions,
and writer's as a class are continually
recording these changing expressions
with all the adjectival wealth they can
command. The heroes, heroines and
villains OF fiction are always register
ing emotions with their eyes, and
when you read the convincing descrip-
lions you simply have to believe them.
Whit is more, any day at the movies
you can see the heroes, heroineS and
villains actually <performing these
stunts with their Eyes. You don't have
to take the words of authors for It;
the movie actors furnish the Q. E. D.
So what is the use of cOntradicting
facts that are universally recognIzedI
Most of us meet and talk with several
dozen persons every day, and we pass
hundreds of Others In the streets. II
you observe the eyes OF any of those
persons you cannot fail to note that
they reveal one or another mental or
emotional state. The eyes are cold,
Indifferent, questioning, melancholy,
petulant. mirthful. mildly amused or
what not, rs the case may be. They
also reflect boldness, tlmidity, Self-aS-
surance. dlffidence, coquetry, and
variety OF dominant temperamental at
tributes.
However, we are told that the eyes
never behave In any such fashion, and
we are forced to believe it. The eyes
themselves are incapable Of emotional
change. Noyellsts are always having
eyes flash with rage" and all that
sort OF thing. and most OF us are con-
WINGED that we have frequently seen
eyes fash. But no rage or emotion of
any sort can change the glistening Of
the eyes The flashing or glistening of
the eye depends wholly upon reflected
light. That light Is reflected from two
places, the pupil and the white, and
neither Of these brightnesses Is gov
erned by the mental or emotional state.
The effect of the changing expressions
of the eye Is really given by the vari-
GUS fexing of the muscles In the flesh
surrounding the eye and by the eye
lids. The flashing effect Is undoubted-
~ produced by wider opening Of the
lids, which exposes more of the white
for light reflection. In ''twinkling"
eye It. Is not the eye but the lids and
the surrounding muscles that really
twinkle. AS matter Of fact, a first
class glass eye would appear to be
just as expressive emotionally as u
natural eye.-F. H. Young, In Provi-
dence Journal.
