The Human Eye.

HELMHOLTz, the German scientist, once
said that the human eye was such an
imperfect instrument that if one were pre-
sented to him he would feel justified in re-
turning it to its Maker. This statement has
often been quoted and perhaps as often mis-
interpreted, for few people realize that the
scientist referred to the mathematical structure
Of the eye as compared with an exactly made
optical instrument.
Just what Helmholtz really meant has re-

an English oculist. The surfaces of the eye
which receive and refract light are not
perfect spheres They are not accurately
placed about the axis of the eye nor are they
quite transparent. When some of these ir-
regularities are slightly exaggerated the eye
shows defects of vision. But the real test
of the eye, says Dr. Parsons. is its value in
doing what the individual desires. '1t COM

Early Days Of Polo.

pOLO, the oldest of games played with stick
and ball. was known to the ancisnt Per-
slams 400 years ago. From the dusty plains
of Persia the game spread eastward through
the Vale of Cashmere ON to the tableland
of Tibet, where it was christened polo from
the Tibetan pulu bali. Southeastward through
Afghanistan, across the high passes of the
Himalayas down to the sunny plains Of India,
it journeyed. where, throughout the sixteenth
century it was the favorite sport of the people.
For 200 years after this. its records in India
cease, but it agin became popular there about
the middle of the nineteenth century. Polo
was. first played in England in 1859 and a
few years later 1t was adopted by other Eu-
ropean countries, when many of its ancient
rules were altered and improved. Thus es-
tablished in an English speaking country, the
game quickly crossed the Atlantic where under
clearer skies it swiftly traversed the American
continent in q westward chase that did not
end with the shores of the land of the sum
set, but. skipping the Pacific, established it
self in Samoa and other far of western
islands
Although not a game in which women OF
modern times have participated there are
in existence several old paintings that warrant
the popularity of polo among the women Of
ancient Persia.

Erosion and Fertility.

THE tremendous loss Of fertility to land SUBJ
ject to erosion Is placed by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture at 81 times the loss each
year through the raising Of crops.
To meet this problem, the last Congress voted
an increased appropriation to aid the Bureau
of Chemistry and Soils in carrying on a survey
and experimental work to prevent this loss
Starting July an expansion of the studies
win be undertaken with especial emphasis laid
on the effect OF terracing TO prevent the gully
ing Of fertile hillsides by heavy rains.
1t is believed that by terracing and proper
provision for drainage, the heavy rush of water
during great downpourS can be materially cur
tailed. Proper preparation would result In the
water running away gently along predetermined
channels or percolating into the soil.

The psychological moment would be due soon,
thought Light Horse Harry as the league went

 Fur farming is in an excellent condition, with more than 500 farms in operation. Good fur far mers are making a success at it. The constantly dimishing supply of wild fur is expected to enhance the incomes of capable men in this field of endeavor.
 THREE MAJOR PROJECTS
 Three major projects are bel ing pushed by MT. Garfield's del partment, land settlement, organ ization of a territorial chamber of commerce, and the establish ment of an international high way, from Seattle to Alaska.
 M D snodgrass, director of the Matanuska experiment sta- tion is in the states now work ing for colonization along the Alaska railroad Though but few farmers may settle here at first Garfield looks for steady in crease in number that will till the soil for livelihood.
 The territorial chamber of com merce is being organized to CO., ordinate the interests of the Ter ritory at large. Matters affecting Alaska as whole will be handled by this organization. Garfield has had fine cooperation in the undertaking to establish this body.

Part of those making the trip over this road would probably stay in the territory to establish farms or to engage in mining, thus aiding the set- clement of Alaska, according to Garfield. The International High way Association has been organ lzed to urge it's construction; the sum of $500 has been appro- prlated by the Alaska legislature for publicity and many organi- zatlons in Yukon territory, Brit ish Columbia and Pacific Coast states are working for it's con- struction.
 Garfield gave an interesting outline of the SoUrdough Stam- pede in Seattle, August 16 to 18 and stated that much helpful publicity for the Territory re- suited from this reunion
