HUMAN OPTIC MOVES THINGS
Why the Superstition Of the "Evil
Eye" May Have a Founda-
ton of Fact

At meeting of eye-specialists held
in Oxford, England. a startling an
nouncement was made by DR.. Charles
Russ, M. r. G. S., L. r. c. P. 1t
was that, after three years of patient
research, he has proved by means Of
a delicate instrument, that the human
eye radiates form of power or en-
ergy, which can be measured upon his
instrument. The operation of the in
strument in question was proved In
the congress, and a sensation was ere
ated by. the announcement of his re,
markable discovery.
The instrument was brass cylinder
in which was hung a delicate spiral
of fine copper wire. This solenoid
was: wound upon cylinder of. cell
luloid and was suspended by fiber
of unspun silk. contained within a
long glass tube A small magnet held
the .solenoid in position, and the ap-
paratus was electrically earthed by a
connective wire .-.tr
Doctor Russ proved that if he con
centrated his gaze upon one end of
the suspended body, through the win

him: when he looked at the .Oppo-
site end, it swayed toward him, and
when he looked directly at the center
of the body, it was stationary.
This apparatus therefore, seems to
show us that there is definite force
radiated from the human eye, and
that when one person looks at anoth-
err a real form of power is thereby
transferred This force Doctor Russ
believes to be physical in character.
probably akin to heat or the electric
rays. though its nature has not so far
been determined.
1t is interesting to note. in this con-
nection, that occult science" has
taught this for many years.

WHY ::
So Many People Are Killed by
Mushrooms.

Numerous fatal pOisOnings from eat
ing mushrooms" reported in the news
this summer were not due to mush-
rooms at all, says the American For
estry association Of Washington. The
association says the greatest care
should be taken in selecting this ar
ticle Of food. In an article in the
American Forestry Magazine attention
is called to statement by Prof. Louis
G. G. Krieger, who said:
ITO ask person to gather his own
mushrooms for the table without pre-
vious instruction that will enable him
to avoid the deadly kinds, is equiva-'
lent to, If not worse than inviting him
to put his unprotected hand into
den of rattlesnakes. Indeed, of the
two risky performances, the latter
would be the safer; for there are at
least two known antidotes for rattle
snake venom. whereas there is none
for the poison or poisons of the ex-
ceedingly common Amanita phalloides
and it's multitudiDous forms and vari
eties."
On the same subject DR.. r. w. Shu-
feldt. G. NJ z. S.. writes in American
Forestry:
Every word of this can be indOrsed
and .inasmuch as the poisonous spe-
cies of mushrooms met with are nu-
merous, and often closely resemble
some of the harmless. ones, one should
be as certain of diagnosis of harm
less or edible species as knowing black
from white, or arsenic from gunpow-
der
when properly prepared, some OF
our mushrooms stand among the most
delightful foods known and when the
forester is serving far from civiliza-
ton. in a country where many species
grow in plenty at certain seasons of
the year, it is of great advantage to
him to be able to gather with GER
tainty as to their nOn-poisonous quail
ties, a mess of these delicious mOrsels
for his morning or evening meal. But,
mind you, there's death In the cup"
and, unless one is certain of the spe-
cies beyond all doubt, it is decidedly
better to stick to the regular camp
fare and pass the mushrooms by.

THE HORRORS OF
INDIGESTION
Relieved By "Fruit-a-tives'
The Famous Fruit Medicine

Indigestion, Weak Digestion or
partial digestion of food, Is one of
the most serious Of present-day
complaints.
Those who suffer with Indigestion,
almost invariably are troubled with
Rheumatism, Sleeplessness and ex-
cessive Nervousness.
"Fruit-a -tives" will always relieve
Indigestion because these tablets
strengthen the stomach muscles,
increase the few of digestive juices
and correct Constipation, which
usually accompanies Indigestion.

Why France Had Poor Crops.

During the year 1861 the harvests
Of France gave an unusually poor re-
turn, and a commission to investigate
the cause of the deficiency was ap-
pointed at the instance of the minister
Of agriculture. The commission took
counsel of experienced naturalists. ST.
Hilaire, Provost, and others. By this
commission the deficiency was attri-
buted in great degree to the ravages
Of insects which 1t is the function Of
certain birds to check. The commits
sion placed the blame for this condi-
ton on the French people, who had
destroyed millions Of birds.
