steep angle down l00-foot bank to-

The owner and driver of the ear was
not injured and he at once began to
plan the recovery of his car, which is
good one, bought two weeks ago from
Il. G. Fisher. TO pull it out was un,
thinkable; it would have torn the car
to pieces The only method was to
raise the front of the ear to the street
level by the aid of blocks and jacks,
and then push it backwards into the
road.
First, the ear was made fast by ca

FEW EYES KE4LLi NORMAL
Just az One 10 Right or Left Handed,
So II ls With the Organs
Of Vision.

Very few people realize that they
are as much right-eyed or left-eyed
as they are right or left-handed.
Sit down in chair and fix your at
tention on some subject on the other
side Of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in front Of the object,
and instantly shut your eyes. Then
without moving yonr head Or your
finger. open your - one at time.
If, when you open your right eye, you
find your finger directly In front Of
the object, YOU are right-eyed. In
that case you win find your finger
very much to the right Of the object
when you open your left eye. IL
II you are right-handed you VIII
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This Is due to the fact that Of the
two halves Of your brain one is slight
ly more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs IN that side of
your body which il controlled by the
more developed half are able to carry
ont your wishes more easily and
quickly than those Of the other side.

SO fidelity and gratitude are not con-
fined to the lords Of creation.
But there is no reason to believe
that the beasts Of the jungle that
have their hunting laws, or the ants
that lay up their store for winter, or
the bees that know practical geome-
try, or the eagle that mourns his dead
wife forever, or the hen that protects
her chickens, or the bear that Is fear
less of rifles, or the raccoon that is
faithful to his master, ever asked any
questions about the why and where
fore Of things.
On the other hand, from the dawn
of history, we find man worrying over
the riddle Of the universe. This too
in spite Of the, fact that, even in the
beginning of things he felt that he
would never be able to solve 1t.
So he invented language to convey
his questions to his neighbors and
alphabets to write them down for his
children. He invented mathematics in
order to compute the motions Of the
stars.
BY all his questioning he has sue
ceeded in pushing back the curtain
that hangs around his universe. Yet
he knows perfectly well that in spite
Of all that his Newtons, Darwins.. Elm

bert Spencer called "the unknowable"
will always elude him.
But as long as he follows the CLEAN
