DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE FELT IN
FIVE MORE STATES.

Recent municipal elections in Rhode
Island. Maryland, Connecticut, West
Virginia, and Missouri give renewed
evidence that this is a Democratic
year.
BurreVille, R. l., elected an entire
Democratic ticket by pluralities Of
5OO OVerturning 1920 Republican
pluralities of 500.
Hartford, Conn, went Democratic
bya record vote, reversing a Repub-
lear victory of two years ago. The
Democratic candidate for mayor re-
ceved 1915 majority and the Demo-
cratic candidate for Controller defeat
ed a Republican who has held the Of
fee for % years The Board of Asses
sOrs is Democratic for the first time
in twenty years.
Benwood, w. Va, answered the
question What's in a name?" by
electing James Cox, the Democratic
candidate for mayor over Republic
can who had held the office for four
terms.
Old Missouri showed 'em when Kan

ticket by, majorities ranging from l.

with majorities averaging 500, elect

board seven Democrats and three Re

elected Democratic mayors-Macon

Seeing Right-side Up.
THE lenses of the eya produce ,

THE lenses Of the eye produce on
the retina an inverted image of
objects looked at. and the question
is often asked, why do things ap-
pear right-side up when their images
are wrong-side up?"
1t occurred to one Investigator to
try the effect of preventing the in
version of images on the retina. This
was accomplished by means of an
optical instrument that excluded
from the eyes all light except that
which passed through the instrument
Itself. The instrument was adjusted
to the eyes at 3 o'clock one afternoon
and was not removed Except at
night. when the eyes were bandaged)
until noon the next.day. At first, to
the person whose eyes were thus
treated, everything seemed topsy-
turvy and illusory, and the mind in
stinctively tried to imagine objects
to be in the position in which they
ordinarily appear. After time. how
ever, the feeling Of the unreality OF
what was seen passed away, and the
person experimental on even began
to imagine everything that lay out
side his field of vision to be arranged
in the same way as what he saw.
This goes to. show that habit and
experience counteract the effect OF
the inversion of images in the eyes.

Our Biggest Bonanza.

a MONG the wonders or America
some forty or fifty years ago was
the Big Bonanza" Of the Comstock
lode in Nevada. 1t was found by fol-
lowing a widening vein of silver
through the rocks until a tremendous
body of rich ore was reached, both of
gold and silver, assaying more than
800 to the square foot and stretch
ing 300 feet across. One hundred and
eight million dollars were taken out
of the Big Bonanza in the ten years
that elapsed before 1t was exhausted.
Yet the Big Bonanza falls into COM
plete insignificance before one pos
sessed by the United States today-a
bonanza that grows more productive
each year instead of becoming ex-
hausted. All the gold mines Of the
entire world, taken together. have
Columbus discovered America than
this has produced in a few years.
What is this biggest bonanza? The
prospector will hunt the barren
mountains and the Arctic coasts, die
frozen in the snow. perish Of thirst in
the desert and never realize that the
spot where the greatest treasure lies
Is just the plain. average American
farm!
Consider the case OF the American
hen. She does not lay actual golden
eggs, apparently. yet the millions and
millions Of eggs that our hens pro-
duce annually outvalue the product
Of many a gold mine. and in the busy
season, at the prevailing prices, the
yield of eggs from American farms
realizes enough in two weeks to pay
full years interest on our national
debt in normal times.
Or take the value of farm property,
which Is rising all the while as the
American farmer becomes more pro-
gressive and thrifty. The increase in
the value of United States farms, as
a whole. is about s5OO,ooo.pOo a year,
including machinery, buildings and
live stock. In one year alone the
products Of our farms were twice the
sum Of all our imports and exports.
six times the amount of the capital
stock of all our national banks, and
between two and three times the
gross earnings Of all our railroads.
