Thi Ills followed thrills an speeding automobiles shot around the
t iiiise of ihe Jngleslde Race Course, on April 24th, In the second and
Jl.'ial day events of the successful meet promoted by the members of
Islam Temple of the Mystic Shrine.
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

THE ETE PRECIOUS.
( Written sy'Dr. JL P. 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.
