Thehoriors of the day were divided between Harney Oldlleld. with n!j 2oo horsepower Henz machine, and C. O. King, with his Maxwell 30 horsepower stock cur. Oldlleld lowered his previous record of one mile to M 5-6, which is a new coast record for the circular track. With the exception of this performance, Oldfield had to take second place In the list of racing honors, as the world's champion met defeat la both the five and fifteen mile handicap events, fend In both races King and his Maxwell were the victors. In fact, King proved the surprise of the meet, driving all of his races with much judgment nnd taking the turns with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfield. In the five mile handicap, Oldfield drove his Knox racer to the utmost, but the handicap was too strong nnd ho could not get the lend away from King. Not only in the handicap events did King and his Max well Drove stars of the first order, but In one of the first events of the day, the five mile race for cars coiling from $1200 to $lf00, which was one of the bestmatches of the meet. The time for the five mile handicap was as follows: Maxwell, King. 4.40.30: Oakland, Nelson. 4.4S.2T.; Chalmers. West. 4.49.30; Auto Car , finished fourth, aud the Knox car. Harney Oldfield driving, fifth. In the event number eight, ten miles free-for-all handicap, King nd his Maxwell again were the winners, the Maxwell's time being m9 20. i J. B. Whiteman & Son 108.

Xf saIha, Dr. ef Optics.) (Fifth Series) Notwithstanding the fact that the eye la the most sensitive portion of the body, and that sight is the most precious of tie five aenses, the organ of vision is perhaps abased more than any other organ of the anatomy. Abuse and neglect are what cause im paired sight and blindness. We pro tect our hands from the cold, our feet from the rain, oar heads from the scorching snn, and yet permit the ten der eye to undergo risks, either in ab solute neglect or thoughtlessness of the use of worthless, . poisonous washes, that may lead finally to the awful sleep of the living from which there Is no awakening. If the eye gives pain, if the sight Is blurred, or Indistinct, or If any oth er weakness Is manifest, it is the plain duty of the person suffering to seek advice or treatment from one who has made a study of the subject and who can effect a cure in the least unpleasant way. In order to understand the affec tion of the eye, even the most frequent and simple one. it Is necessary to have some knowledge of the general struc ture and functions of the organ. While It will be Impossible to convey In words an accurate Idea of the In tricate and delicate structures con tained in the eye, yet the general plan and principle of its formation are ex tremely simple and Interesting. Every one who has even a slight ac quaintance with the bos which a pho tographer uses, called the camera, can appreciate at once ths structure of the eye. The human eye Is, Indeed, arranged upon precisely the same principles as the photographer's camera, as will be evident upon slight comparison. The photographic camera consists of a box blackened on the Inside, to which light Is admitted only through an opening In the front; this opening is filled by a piece of curved glass, techneally called a double convex lens. At the side of the box opposite to this lens Is a frame made to carry a plate of glass. This plate of glass Is coated with a layer of material usually a com pound of silver and gelatine, which Is sensitive to light; that is, when ever the light falls upon the plate this material undergoes a chemical change. In taking a picture the object Is placed in front of the box In such a position that the rays of light eman ating from this object are focused by means of the lens, that Is, brought to gether so as to make a picture upon the plate. In consequence of the sensitive na ture of the gelatine upon glass, to the action of light, this picture is record ed upon the plate, making the photo graph. The same principles apply In the formation of the picture in the hu man eye. The eye Is a spherical box or cam era, blackened, on the Inside, and closed on all side" except In front, where a circular opening exists. Right at this opening Is a double con vex lens like that of the photograph er's camera. At the back of the eye Is a sensitive plate, a layer of ner vous tissue called the retina, which Is susceptible to the action of light Just like the gelatine of the photographic plate. The rays of light coming from an object in front of the eye. are fo cused by means of the lens so as to make a picture of that object upon the sensitive plate the retina at the back of the eye. This picture excites the nervous center In the brain, so that the individual Is conscious of the image on the retina. (Will continue next week.) Ordinance Xo. Jl!2. Series 1910.
