lery trying to pick out congressman
from their district, also casting long
ing eyes at the examples Of manly
pulchritude assembled on the floor:
and l saw beautifully gowned women
nodding pleasantly to friends on the
floor of the Senate. Nighttime came
and a friend of mine sent over to the
Congressional Library. via that little
road that connects the two buildings,
for two books that 1 had not yet read.
and. armed with these. once more
went into hiding.
sGrTHAT evening I did not sleep as
we'll, evidently the effects OF
listening to the tariff debate. Friday
morning I did not feel like eating
breakfast. so busted myself with
reading the Congressional Record and
walking through the lower corridors
Of the Senate Office building.
This day I had lunch at the res
taurant in the Senate ONCE building.
afterward paying my respects to the
senators from my state. again lis
tened to the debates. but firing Of this
quite quickly I went down to watch
the machinery that is used In the
ventilating system Of the Capitol. 1
had an early dinner and retired. l
was. however. awakened by the
sounds Of music and speaking. I had
entirely overlooked the fact that some
Of my friends and fellow -conspirators
might have installed q radiophone.
When this form of entertainment
ceased / returned to my couch ana
did not awaken until late Saturday
morning.
II had a combination luncheon and
breakfast in the cafe Of the House
Office building. after which I visited
q committee room in the House office
building and saw many beautiful
flags, army trophies and a complete
set Of war medals, I then took the
elevator to the basement floor and
crossed over to the Senate office
building and entered the room where
the exhibits Of the dye industry are
housed, and it really is remarkable
how dyes, perfumes, etc. are made
out OF coal tar and other products.
Again securing the services Of my
friend I secured some additional
books, because I knew that the next
day, Sunday. was going to be long
and tedious period Of time. In ad-
dition to having secured reading ma
terial for the long Sunday, I also pro-
vided myself with a number Of sand
wiohes and pieces of cake. for 1
knew full we'll that the restaurants
would not be open and that to send in
meals from an outside place would

Land of Many Horses.

ONE Of the government scientists
cites some interesting facts about
ancient American horses. 1t appears
that in North America there were al
ways from four to six entirely
different varities of the horse
family, living cotemporaneously.
Some were slow moving and relative
,ly broad-footed horses, living in the
forests, others were very swift. hav-
ing narrow feet moro resembling
those Of deer, and lived on the plains.
Moreover, there were American
horses larger than the huge Percher-
ons Of today, and others smaller than
the most diminutive Shetlands.
Strangely enough, the greatest
beauty and variety in the develop
ment of the horse family were exhibit
ed here just before the total extinc-
tton Of the ancient horses on the
American continent = catastrophe
which still offers an unsolved problem
for investigation. 49,.

Artificial Eyes.

BESIDES the artificial limbs the
- construction of which has de-
rived unwonted actually from the
war, the manufacture of artificial
eyes has for some time been most ex-
tensive. So far from being a mere
esthetic question, this, in fact. is
matter of the highest practical.
hygienical Importance.
Artificial eyes are manufactured
in 4 rather interesting way. To the
nattened end of a colorless, transpar-
ent enamel stick there is first applied
the pupil, after which the iris is
formed plastically by means of thin.
sharpened, colored enamel sticks Or
else, an even more satisfactory.
though more laborious, process. the
lines and circles OF the iris are
traced with the aid of pulverized
enamel and well melted into the back
ground.
An enamel tube Of the color of the
sclerotic and closed at the front end
is blown out ovally and pierced in
front. the edges Of the hole being. by
means Of a little stick OF enamel
pressed uniformly round and slight
ly convex. The iris is now inserted
into the aperture by means of the
colorless stick and well melted in.
After then melting off the enamel

with the eye of the eye. The veins
which are always more or less Wis
ible on the white. are finally applied
by means of a stick OF red enamel.
In especially difficult cases the sur
roundings OF tho eye. skin. eyelids
etc, must even be initiated by means
Of glass parts, mounted on silver
plates and fixed to the patients eye
glass. Such work. OF course. demands
the highest skill, but is done with
such perfection that the imitation
can frequently be detected only by
the experienced eye of the expert.
Attempts have been made from
time to time to manufacture arti-
fical eyes Of less fragile material
than glass (e. e.. vulcanite or cellu-
loid). but no satisfactory results have
so far been obtained in this connec-
ton.
