Simple Trick of Artist.

Everybody has noticed that the eyes
In some portraits follow one wherever
he goes In the room. 1t is bit un.
canny to move about an apartment
and have the eyes of picture always
upon one. Some superstitious persons
are afraid to go into a picture gallery
where portraits Of their ancestors are
TO be found. The effect is simply an
optical illusion and Is secured by hav.
Ing the eyes In the portrait looking
directly toward the front. Under such
circumstances the pupil Is necessarily
In the middle. with an equal amount
Of white" on each side. This rela.
tion does not vary at all with the
position Of the observer. No matter
where you stand the pupil will be In
the middle Of the eye and the eye will
seem to be looking at you.

British warship'. Great euna

At first sight It may seem strange
that the Hood should carry Only the
same armament as the Queen Eliza
beth. built some eight years before the
Hood. AS matter of fact. the Queen
Elizabeth's guns are forty-two calibers
in length; but the guns of the Hood
are forty-five caliber long and have
greatly increased muzzle velocity. 1t
is believed that the gun weighs a lit
tie under one hundred tons and fires
1.95O-pound shell with muzzle vel
ocity of $500 foot-seconds. Another
improvement over the Queen Eliza
beth is that the new guns have an
elevation of 30 degrees for n maximum
range of $4,000 yards. The loading
gear has been so improved that the
Hood is credited with being able to
fire salvo of eight guns every thirty
FIVE seconds.-Sclentific American.

TRIBE OF GIANT CANNIBALe
Ferocious White savages Seen by Ex.
plorer in the Upper Reaches
Of the Amazon.

Among the remarkable adventur ~
of DR.. A. II. Rice. who has returned
after exploring the upper reaches Of
the Amazon and its tributaries, was a
meeting with white cannibals. seven
feet in height. Accompanied by a
number of natives, Doctor Rice set
forth in single canoe to map the
Upper OrinocO. While they were en-.
gaged in their work one of the natives
saw gigantic white savage, stark
naked, making his way through the
underbrush. The natives explained
that he was one of the Legendary
white Indians" whose ferocity had
made them terror to their dark -hued
neighbOrs for centuries. Several shots
We're fired in the direction of the saw
age, and instantly the jungle seemed
alive with his companions. Everyone
was between six and seven feet in
height. They were armed with spears
and arrows, and blow-pipes, and Doc
tor Rice recognized them as the noun,
tain cannibals who are regarded as
the most ferocious in Brazil. Venezu-
ella, and Colombia. They have been
seen only once before by white eX.

ing explorations on behalf of the Span

FEW STREET ORGANS HEARD
Talking Machines" Have Largely
Displaced the Peripatetic Musi-
clan Once So Popular.

The street organ, like the hanson
cab and the frock coat Is knocking on
the door labeled obsolete. Where and
why did the music on wheels vanish?
Some say the war took back TO Italy
all the "organ-grinders." Others con-
tend that high wages enabled the ven
ders of popular tunes to make more
money elsewhere.
But a man who sells talking ma
chimes gives me different reason
"GirHrd' writes in the Philadelphia
Press.
Everybody now has canned music
In his own home and wants none
thrown at him from the street PeO-
pie stopped giving money to the organ
grinders and they were starved into
other fields of activity"
Judging from the sounds one hears
pulsatng from the windows and doors,
Of our 100000 homes these summer
days, fancy the talking machine man
knows his facts. Anyhow, music. as
1t is labeled, is one of the most plentf--
full things "what is" so that the dis
appearing hand-piano has not yet in

DOGS AND CHURCH WINDOWS

the "Pedlar and his Dog" to which

Quite recently Chancellor Prescott

OBSTINATE MAN A WEAKLING
tar From Being Sign Of Strength,
"su'lheadedness" Is Distinguish
ing Mark Of lnferiority.

In the course of an article on
where We Get Our Moods" in Peo-
pies Magazine for June, the author
says:
"Obstinacy. psychologists assert, is
sign of deep-seated sense of in
1eriority. This is acquired in child
hood and often comes, they say, from
a trifiing source Red hair, small size,
girlish delicacy in boy. freckles,
slOwness ut books, butter fingers
ciumsiness at sports, or poverty may
make child feel himself inferior to
other children. Alfred Adler, who has
studied the subject thoroughly, holds
that the inferiOrity of physical organ
like the heart or lungs or eyes has n
direct influence in determining the
personality.
Long after the original defect has
vanished its effect upon the individual
remains, sometimes to the detriment
of his business relations. A man may
all his life strive to equal some boyish
rival whom he has in reality long sur
passed. There are two methods of
doing this. One is the logical way
or an ambitious attack on life. AS
an individual gradually accumulates
prestige and financial security he Sc
cures ease from the goading sense of
fnadequacy. In this way 1t may act
as spur. The other method Is the
unsatisfactory one of overcOmpensa-
tion, just as Whipple was obstinate in
manhood because he couldn't hold his
0Wn in childhood. Here it is an OBJ
structiOn.
'rhe habitual boaster appears. from
this viewpoint, merely little boy
whistling to keep up his courage. A
man fitting back in his Office chair
boasting how much pig iron he has
sold. may be uncOnsciously trying to
convince himself that he is now smart

all his marbles away from him when
they played for keeps behind the

The wife of>an English movie pro-

what the London Telegraph describes
as the strange manner of her kus--

Wilson was wont to throw the tea

every one in the house went nearly

marking: Now I'm going to give you

Another annoying little habit of her
husband to which Mrs Wilson object

when his spirits were particularly
volatile" he would kick her out OF
bed and force her to sleep on the
floor. His financial contributions to
the support of her and their little
daughter were somewhat meager-S5

In view of these little oddities Mrs

sympathetically to her complaint He
admitted "the defendant seemed to

Rats Protect River Banks.

One of the latest developments in
river bank protection is that Of hexi-
bile RATS anchored in position hut free

water which Is now being tried on the.
east bank of the Missouri river near
Folsom, In.
The raftS are built of logs and are
not only strong and durable. hut eX-
ceedingly flexible in every direction.
The handling of the RATS was simpli-
fed by building them on barges which
We're towed to the location desired,
where the rafts We're made fast by
cables running from the centers and
joints to anchor piles. each pile hold
ing two sections and the barges pulled
out from under them. old boiler fiues
threaded on light cables being used
as rollers Reinforced concrete piles
were used for anchors. II is expected
that these rafts will take the place
or at least render more permanent

forms of revetments.
