'The Inspiration.
"This Is a pretty good poem. -Ton
must have bad some strong inspira
MI had. The editor promised me
$10." Louisville Courier-Journal.
(Written by Doctor M. P. Mendelsohn,
doctor of optics.) '
This change iu the curvature of the
lens, is accomplished by the contrac
tion a muscle the ciliary muscle.
Whenever w desire to look at near
objects, this muscle contracts, caus
ing the lets of the eye to Decome
more curved.
We are not Conscious of the effort,
at first nor are we avail that we actu
ally change the form of the eye. ,
This is done unconsciously like so
many other movements of the body
But after a time we become conscious
that we are exerting an effort; thus
if we read at small print, for example,
the eye becomes tired. ,
This Is for the same reason that tne
arm becomes tired, after long contin
ued muscular effort, or that the legs
become tired from walking. Every
muscle must be rested after it has
worked a considerable time, and It in
dicates the need for rest by the feel
ing which we call fatigue. So the
eye becomes tired, wnen reading small
print, simply because the muscle
which keeps the lens In a proper state
of curvature has become exhausted.
. A Simple Illustration.
Another feature, which Is common
to the eye. and. to .. the photographic
camera alike, is an arrangement ;rj
whereby the amount of light entering
the eye can be regulated that is, in
creased or decreastd aa occasion re
quires.. 'V .. '" ,'.''.'
The photographer reguates the light
which enters, his camera by means
of a black ring, which he puts over the
lena thus shutting out the light from
the edge of the lens and permitting
it to enter, only through the middle
portion. -
When the light coming from the on
ect Is very Intense, it isnecessary to
Dut this black ring over the lens so as
in Rhnt out some of the light. This
la what the photographer calls stopp
ing the lens. A precisely similar ar
rangement is found in the human eye
The coolred ring in the front of the
eye the Iris is really a curtain; In
tended to regulate the amount of light
which passes through, the lens into the
rentlna. .
Whether blue, brown or black, it is
so constructed mai uo.ukui I)"""
through it. Any light which enters
the eye must pass" through the central
opening in the Iris, the pupil.; When
ever the eye is exposed to a bright
light, the iris closes somewhat so as
to make , the pupil smaller and thus
permit less light to pass Into the eye.
,v Whenever the light la dim, the Iris
opens bo as to permit more light to
enter the eye. : , -
This action of the iris In regualtlng
the amount of light, admitted to the
eye, is like tbe action of the ciliary
miisrle an unconscious effort, which
may even take place during sleep.

" Thrills followed thrills as speeding automobiles shot around the
course of tbe Ingleslde Race Course, on April 24th, in the second knd
final day events of the successful meet promoted by the members of
Islam Temple of the Mystic Shrlno.
Thehondrs of the day were divided between Barney Oldfleld, with
nls 200 horsepower Benz machine, and C. 0. King, with his Maxwell
SO horsepower stock car. Oldfleld lowered his previous record of one
mile to 51 5-6, which is a new coast -record for the circular track.
With the exception of this performance, Oldfleld had to take second
place in the list of racing honors, as the world's champion met defeat
in both the five and 'fifteen mile handicap events, and 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 and
taking the turns with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfleld. In.
the five mile handicap, Oldfleld drove his Knox racer to the utmost,
but the handicap was too strong and he could not get the lead away
.from King. Not only in the handicap events did King and his Max
well prove stars of the first order, but In one of the first events of the
day, the five mile race for cars costing from $1200 to $1600, which was
one of the hestmatches of the meet
The time for the five mile handicap was as follows: Maxwell,
King, 4.40.30; Oakland, Nelson, 4.48.25; Chalmers, West, 4.49.30; Auto
Car , finished fourth, and the Knox car, Barney Oldfleld driving, fifth.
In the event number eight, ten miles free-for-all handicap, King
and his Maxwell again were the winners, the Maxwell's time, being
