The Human Eye

The eye is the original camera,
shaped like a globe, filed with a
watery fluid to keep it from coDaps-
ing, says a writer in Literary Di-
gest. The cornea is the transpar-
ent outer covering and beneath it
lies the iris which gives the eye its
color. In the center Of the iris is
the pupil, which seems black, actu-
ally is transparent, turns red as the
light-beam of the ophthalmoscope is
reflected from blood vessels at the
rear Of the eyeball. The pupil ex-
pands and contracts to regulate the
amount of light admitted to the eye.
The crystalline lens is a trans
parent, flexible organ floating in
the watery fluid at the front Of the
eyeban. Ciliary muscles change its
shape, focusing near and distant
ight-rays sharply on the retina.
Thinner than the finest sheet Of on
ionskin, the retina is revealed I'M
der the microscope to consist Of ten
layers. 1t is transparent, reveals
the fine network of arteries and
veins behind it. Tiny rods and
cones, so named from their appear
ance, cover the retina; there are
some 100, 900 of them, approx
imately equal to the population of
the United States.

Says Hall Seeks
Job for In-LaW
Sept. 3, 1887.


Editor:
A rumor which may not be easily
dismissed with a shrug of the
shoulder is the report that S. Ed
ward Hall, our barber-pohtico,
seeks the st. Paul Urban League
secretary post for his Son-in-law,
who at present is a member of the
bell stand at Minneapolis club.
This same rumor alleges that
Mr.. Hall went down to New York
a few days ago to convince the
Urban League poo-bahs that what
the st. Paul League needed was
more of the Ed Hall influence
which could easily and conveniently
be found in his in-law.
AS a long suffering resident of
st. Paul (for 80 years) l have long
since come to the conclusion that
what St. Paul needs a lot less of
is that type of self-appointed vul-
nerable leadership as furnished by
Mr.. Hall ard others who foist
themselves on every movement of
worth.
The Urban League has gone to
the bow vows largely here because
its self perpetuating boards have
had such characters as Mr.. Hall on
them; men to whom scant associa-
ton with white board members has
usually rendered them totally unfit
to render service to the Negro
community.
The Lord help the Urban League
if Mr.. Halls trip has proven sue
cessful because a lot of we skep-
teal folks want as your paper
wants, a real vital Urban League
organization.

Subscriber.

inhabitants of Shells
Classified as Mollusks

All inhabitants of shells, from
garden snails to ''gosler CLAIMS" are
mollusks. There are two main
classes, univalves and bivalves, cas-
lily to be distinguished by the one
or the two-part shell. Many hun
dreds Of individual species exist in
each class, but the orders most COM
monty found are comparatively few,
and not too difficult to recognize,
according to an authority in the
Rural New-Yorker.
AS for the crustaceans, this class
includes all crabs, shrimp, Holsters,
beach-feas and even barnacles. The
funny little fiddler crab is to be found
in salt marshes everywhere, from
Florida to New England, and can
not be mistaken, since no other
crab possesses that huge right claw,
which it waves about as if it were
bow. The females do not possess
this distinction. The horseshoe crab
is not properly a crab at all, since
he has an order all to himself, and
not a single living relative.
Echinoderms are creatures hav-
ing a prickly skin. The Greeks used
the same word (echinos) for hedge
hog and for sea-urchin. Some men,
bers of this division wear long,
sharp spines, large enough to be
used for slate pencils! Others have
a plushy surface, like the sand-dol-
lars, or a rough one, resembling a
kitchen crater. One class, the sea-
cucumbers, show only a granular
skin. All echinoderms live in salt
water.

 Oscar Hammerstein II, and Je- rome Kern, who have contributed many musical successes of recent years, wrote the songs and story. Their melodies include the title song which everyone will be humming.
 The perfect Synchronization of songs and story can be credited to Reuben Mamoulian, the director, whose versatile talents won him the New York Film Critics Circle award for the best direction of 1886 with "The Gay Desperado." He succeeds in making the infectiously tuneful melodies carry along realistic mar rative in spontaneously natural style.
 The picture was inspired by the stirring times of the 1860's when Pennsylvania farmers struggled to cast of the exploiting railroad mag mates who wanted the profits of the new oil industry. It was a period of intense warfare between wealth and industry when pioneers were called upon to display tremendous courage. @a Fa3y

'NUCCIN' TAYLOR'S
 TRIAL ON SCREEN
Souls at Sea- Begins g. Day Engagement at
 Strand Sunday

"Souls At Sea-" that magnificent epic of the screen that has drawn critic raves throughout the nation, comes to the Warner Strand theater Sunday for three day engagement
 "Souls At Sea" is the motion pie tlre treatment of the famous trial of "Nuggin" Taylor, sea captain of the HO's, who assumed command of the brig "William Brown" when that ship caught fire in mid-Atlantic shortly after her master died. Taylor 1s played by Gary Cooper, who hard- ly performed as well in any of his long string of credible adventure stories possibly because he was re- enacting a story from hiStory's pages for the first time.
 < The "William Brown" was equipped with only two life boats and Taylor realized that he could never bring the entire ships com pary to safety in the frail craft. He ordered 6 trial to determine who should be permitted to go aboard the lifeboat and who should be or- dered-at pistol point-to remain aboard and go to the bottom with the ill-fated vessel. He included himself among the survivors not be- cause he wanted to save his life, he later told an admiralty court, but because he knew he was the only man who could bring the life-boats safely through to land.
 There followed Q trial which Is now epic among sea trials. Taylor was accused of manslaughter on the nigh seas not only by most Of the survivors, but what hurt most, by his sweetheart, played by beautiful Frances Dee.
 This powerful picture lists in It's cast George Raft, who is superb as the hard-boiled mate of the vessel who would steal a kernel of corn from Q hen but would follow his captain to the grave; Henry Wil-
