The Eyes of the MordelIa.

There Is beetle, which entomolo-
gists call the mordella, that Is pro-
vided with enough eyes to outfit q
company of ordinary animals. 1t pos
sesses $4,000 little eyes, and 1t can sec
out Of the back Of Its head.
Under lens these multltudes Of
eyes are very beautiful. They give of
cleaning prismntlc colors. A micro
scOpic examination reveals what looks
like section Of hODcycomb, and each
Of these seemingly unlimited number
Of eyes has n perfect lens system.
Probably next to the magnificent
mordella beetle the ordinary common
dragon fly ranks for It's remarkable
supply Of eyes. This insect Is said to
have no less than 10000 eyes.
The horsefly. too. has eyes by the
thousand. and its head is one mass Of
microscopic optics.

WORTH THE SUN EXPENDED
able Voyage Cost Promoters and
Participants Very Little.

The cost Of the discovery Of Amer
leu by Columbus was but little over
$1,000. the old story to the effect that
Queen Isabella parted with many Of
her finest Jewels to the contrary. Two
Of the three ships that made that
wondrous voyage, the Pinto and the
Nina, were captained by two brothers,
Martin and Vicente Pinzon. and they
paid all the expenses attached to these
ships. as well as furnishing the crafts
themselves. The account books of the
Pinzons show that Columbus In his
capacity Of commander received $500
pesetas year. or about $500. The
sailors received the magnificent sum
Of $3.50 month, or about 8 cents q
day.
The cannons for all three ships cost
900 pesetas. or about what, 1t would
cost to fire one Of our modern big
guns, while the whole outfit and the
wages Of the sailors came to only &c.
600 pesetas. The accounts cover the
time between August, 1902, to March,
1893. The queens share is believed
to have been less than $1,000, and
even ut the valuation placed on Jew
els at that period. it would not have
taken many or large ones to raise this
sum.

hood with a long fringe Of wolverine
hair. ornnmented with the animals
ears; and a heavy kookhlanka, or dou-

around the bottom with silk embroid-
cry. trimmed at the sleeves and neck
with glossy beaver. and furnished with
square flap under the chin, to be
held up over the nose, and hood
