SEES OWN CHANCE VANISH
Believes New York Judge Has
Bought Up His Delegates.
TAMMANY FEELS CONFIDENT
About a Thousand, With Plenty of
Money, Will Insist That Anybody
Will Be a Better Candidate
Than Man of Silence.
NEW YORK, July 3. (Special.) The
largest delegation that has ever cone
from New York to a National Convention
of either party is now on Its -way to St
Louis. This is partially due to the fact
that the convention city Is also the
World's Fair city, and that politics and
pleasure can be combined at one apd the
same time, and it is also due to the addi
tional fact that New York Democrats
are unusually interested as to the identity
of the pereon who will be selected to make
the race against Theodore Roosevelt.
Advance guards of the three factions
Interested are already on the grounds in
St. Louis, prepared to sing the praises of
Parker, Hearst and the Tammany choice,
who is Cleveland, or, in fact, anybody
except Parker and Hearet These pio
neers are expected to blaze the way for
the main armies which will arrive in
force and state in time to participate in
the festivities of the glorious Fourth.
Of these armies of factional Democrats,
by all odds the largest is comprised of the
adherents of Tammany Hall. Six special
trains were required to carry the dele
gates, alternates and shouters to the con
vention. Two of these trains went over
the Pennsylvania Railroad, three over the
New York Central and one by the Balti
more & Ohio.
Tammany Sends 1000 Men.
Each of these trains consisted of a baggage-car,
six Pullman sleepers and a dining-car,
and about 150 Democrat will be
on each train, making Tammany's total
contribution almost 1000 men. Everyone'
of these will wear Tammany badges,
epend Tammany money, and enunciate
Tammany doctrine that the nomination
of Alton B. Parker would be the silliest
possible thing that the Democrats of the
Nation could do.
The Parker boomers will not travel in
such glorious state as the Tammany men,
nor will there be as many of them. His
friends "up state" have ben out of of
fice eo long that few of them can afford
an expensive trip to St. Louis metropo
lis, eo that the up-country district will be
represented almost entirely by the regu
larly chosen delegates and alternates.
The Brooklyn men. who are for Parker,
will go West hi a special train of their
own and expect to have from 125 to 150.
Another special train will go over the
New York Central for the benefit of Hill
and his friends and will pick up dele
gates and Parker rooters at various
places between New York and Buffalo.
Few Eastern Hearst Boomers.
The Hearst boomers will be in evi
dence at St. Louis but not in the num
bers as were contemplated when the
"peerless leader of the Democracy"
thought he had a chance of winning. He
has no delegates from this section to take
with him, except eight unhappy men from
Rhode Island, and two of these are de
claring, with tears in their eyes, that
really they don't care to vote for him any
how. The original plans contemplated five
special trains loaded down with boomers
and delegates from various Eastern
States, Including New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, but as there are not any
Heart delegates from those sections, and
the reports from other parts of the coun
try are extremely unflattering, the Hearst
boomers from the East will be repre
sented at St Louis principally by a
strong delegation, chosen with care from
the editorial staff of the New York Amer
ican and Journal.
Hearst Believes His Agents".
Mr. Hearst it might bo stated, realizes
thoroughly at last that he has no chance
of being nominated. He still believes that
the people want him, but his various
agents have explained their defeat in
states where he confidently expected dele
gations by Baying that the Parker men,
aided by Wall-street boodle, had bought
up delegates who were at heart for
Hearst but turned out to be "at pocket"
for Parker.
Strange to say, .Mr. Hearst thoroughly
believes these explanations, and is burn
ing for revenge. He has decided that if
he cannot get the nomination himself he
will see to it that Parker doesn't and
all his efforts are being bent toward hold
ing the delegates solid against the New
York Judge.
Leader Not Yet Decided Upon.
Who the man will be upon -whom the
opposition to Judge Parker -will unlfe
is a question that can only be ans
wered when the delegates convene at
St. Louis. The Pennsylvania votes,
however, will go to Ex-Governor Rob
ert E. Pattison, and it is known that
Leader Guffey has been urging Uim
upon the attention of the other big
leaders in the East as proper Presiden
tial timber. The Gorman talk has been
revived, and the Olney boom, hereto
fore confined to Massachusetts, has re
ceived added attention.
Plainly it seems to be simply an ef
fort to beat Parker, regardless of whom
the man may be that beats him, and in
this project Mr. Murphy and his friends
'confidently look for the assistance and
votes that can be given them by Will
iam Randolph Hearst and William Jen
nings Bryan.
On the other hand, the Parker peo
ple declare that their man will be nom
inated on the- second ballot surely, and
perhaps on the first They say that
were it not for the votes which will
bo frittered away on "favored. sonst" j
their man would win on the first bal
lot as he is the second choice of every
body except Hearst but they fear that
votes for Olney, Wall of Wisconsin,
Cockrell of Missouri, Gray of Dela
ware and perhaps Pattison of Pennsyl
vania, Gorman of Maryland and Judson
Harmon of Ohio, will prevent a choice
on the first ballot They expect how
ever, that when the second ballot be
gins all of these men will withdraw in
favor of Parker, and they declare that
they will be mightily astonished if this
does not happen.
Hill Men Fear Only Hearst.
The Hill men regard the opposition
to their candidate as being absurd.
They say he has only one real oppo
nent and that 'is Hearst, who may re
ceive as high as 175 votes on the first
ballot, but under no circumstances can
get any more from any source what
soever. They therefore think that-
everythlng is settled and that the con
vention will be as perfunctory an af
fair as that of the Republican, except
that they will be afflicted with futile
and unpleasant howls from Bryan and
a few of hi3 radical friends.
Some of the Hill men who believe
In omens, dreams and lucky signs, are
drawing great comfort from a coinci
dence that is bound to make itself
manifest at the St Louis Convention
Eight years ago at Chicago, William
Jennings Bryan, who had not then been
considered as a candidate for Presi
dent, was a member of the resolutions
committee, along with David B. H11L
Mr. Bryan presented the majority re
port and in defending the silver plank
In the platform made the famous
"crown of thorns and cross of gold"
speech, which set the delegates fran
tic and brought him the nomination.
Mr. Hill presented the minority report
and received as much consideration
and attention as a snowflake at the
North Pole.
"Conservatives" In Control.
This year all the signs show that
positions will bo reversed. "The Con
servatives" will be in control of the
convention and the indications are that
Mr. Hill, who has signified his inten
tion of going on the resolutions com
mittee, will be its chairman, and conse
quently present the majority report and
a platform from which all traces of
Bryanlsm have been carefully elimin
ated. On the other hand, it is an ab
solute certainty that Bryan will be on
the resolutions committee as Nebras
ka's representative and present a mi
nority report attacking the position of
the majority.
Walter Rollins, of Buffalo, was in
town the other day and presented the
above view of the situation to State
Senator George W. Plunkett, one of
Tammany's old-time leaders, and
wound up by saying:
"Don't you see what this means?
Why, everything Indicates that Hill la
going to get up there and dazzle th
delegates with his eloquence just llk
Bryan did eight years ago, and carry
off the nomination. That's what will
happen, if there's anything In coinci
dences." Even Opponent Would Feel Sorry.
"Hill is a good speaker," assented
Mr. Plunkett, "and he'll knock those
delegates silly, if he told them half the
mean and crooked thinks he has done
in his life, but I'm free to confess that
If Hill wins the delegates with his
golden tongue, as Bryan did with hia
sliver one, eight years ago, I'd bet all
hthe money I could lay my hands on that
the prophecy would be completed."
"What do you mean?" asked Mr. Hol
lins, In surprise.
"I mean that destiny would be ful
filled," responded Senator Plunkett
sweetly, "for although Bryan was
beaten years ago, Hill would be so dis
gracefully beaten that Theodore Roose
velt would feel ashamed of the treat
ment his opponent had received."
TAMMANY SHOWS ITS PLAN.
Opponents of Parker Are Urged to
Hold Men Together.
ST. LOUIS, July 3. The Tammany ad
vance guard arrived In St Louis at S:30
tonight and had not more than registered
than they caused to be whispered around
the plan by which they hoped to demon
strate that Judge Parker could be beaten
for the nomination. Charles F. Murphy,
Bourke Cockran, Charles A. Towne,
Thomas F. Grady, Victor Dowllng and
William Sulzer were the orators and poli
ticians who were at the head of the par
ty, and within 30 minutes of their arrival
they had prepared the following state
ment, attributed to Charles F. Murphy:
"My position Is now what It has con
stantly been. I have said, and still say
that in my opinion Mr. Cleveland, so far
as the State of New York is concerned,
would be the strongest candidate this con
vention could name. Of course, I cannot
speak for other states, and I have thought
that the best Tesult would bo likely to be
reached by deliberation among the dele
gates representing all the states and un
trammeled by precommltment or instruc
tions. Parker Not Strong Enough.
"For this reason I was apposed to reso
lutions of Instruction at Albany under any
circumstances, although I favored the unit
rule, by which the Una'' judgment of the
delegation, after consultation, on the
ground, might be mads effective as an
entirety. It may be that in the country at
large some other candidate might be
stronger than Mr. Cleveland. I am speak
ing only of my own state, and with a sin
cere desire for Democratic success.
"If at this moment I believed that Judge
Parker would be as strong before the peo
ple of the United States as Mr. Cleveland
would be. I should be the first to urge his
nomination, notwithstanding the contest
against instructions at tho State Conven
tion." Hope to Cause Deadlock.
Following the giving out of this Inter
view came the unfolding of the scheme to
beat the Parker nomination. It was very
simple, and consisted in visiting the vari
ous delegations and asking them to stick
by their candidates long enough to pro
duce a deadlock. Davis of West Virginia
wins urged to get together the Gorman
states, and was promised that New York
would help later.
The Hearst people wore urged to move
on the common enemy with an unbroken
front, and even Mr. Bryan was sont to in
an endeavor to keep a two-thirds vote
from coming to Parker on the first few
ballots. It was said at Tammany head
quarters tonight that this would be the
plan of campaign for tho next few days.
Senator Hill, when shown the Tammany
statements, declined to talk, as did also
William F. Sheeban, but tho latter did
say:
"We are satisfied with the result of the
day's effort"

Lebaudy Became a Mohammedan for
Title of Emperor.
LONDON, July 4. The Dally Express
this morning prints copies of cablegramo
and other minute details showing that
Jacques Lebaudy, the young Frenchman,
who styles himself, "Emperor of All the
Saharas," a fw months ago entered
into an agreement with the Sultan of Mo
rocco, through the Foreign Minister, Mo
hammed El Torres, agreeing to lend the
Sultan $2,000,000 at 7 per cent on the se
curity of the Sultan's note of hand, enly
provided the Sultan' acknowledged Le
baudy as Emperor of Sahara.
Further, Lebaudy promised lo do eviry
thlng in his power to ,teep France out of
Moroccan territory. The Sultan in turn
agreed to discontinue negotiations for s.
French loan.
When the Sultan agreed to the terms
and when Lebaudy had actually become a
Mohammedan, which the Sultan required,
Lebaudy grew tired and threw up all the
agreement

SUEE OF PAEEER.
iContlnued from First Pago.)
them another man would win they
would be ready to support him.
The opponents of Judge Parker raise
a number of objections. Hill, as his
political backer, and August Belmont
as a representative of tho business In
terests behind him, are said to be un
pleasant for many delegates. The op
position of Tammany In New York and
of Hearst and Bryan in other portions
of the country, has solne effect
Of the candidates suggested, Parker
seems more objectionable to Bryan and
Hearst than any other man, Cleveland
alone excepted. Yet several of the dele
gations under instructions for Hearst
freely announce their preference for
Parker and expect to vote for him on
the second ballot
The Cleveland talk has been on the
wane, but there Is quite a contingent
that Is watching the situation with the
hope that a condition may arise which
will make Cleveland's nomination ad
visable, but this could not be brought
about except after an exciting and
bitter struggle.
McClellan Was Born In Germany.
During the day there has been some
talk about Mayor McClellan. but it is
recognized that his birth In Germany
would furnish a 6mall element of uncer
tainty, while a still greater factor Is the
solid delegation of New York State sup
porting another candidate.
Soon after Mr. Bryan's arrival in St
Louis there was somo talk about Judge
Gray, mainly because a report had been
circulated that the Nebraska man would
support Gray in preference to any other
candidate. Occasionally the name of Jo
seph Folk Is heard, but it is apparent
that Missouri Democrats do not want any
further prominence given to the young
Missouri attorney.
Gorman Has a Platform.
The Presidential situation has been suf
ficiently Interesting to keep the Vice
Presidency and the platform somewhat in
the background although both have re
ceived consideration. Many drafts of al
leged platforms haye been brought to the
city and several prominent Democrats
are said to have the real thing but it is
said that the platform will be made in
committee, and after a sharp contest It
Is known that Senator Gorman made a
draft of a platform and sent it here with
the Maryland delegation. This will be pre
sented to the committee on resolutions.
Men from the Far West have been mak
ing quite aa active canvass for ex-Senator
George Turner for Vice-President
and the names of Marshall Field, of Chi
cago; Benjamin F. Shlveley, of Indiana;
John Kern, of the same state: David. R.
Francis, of Missouri; David S. Rose, of
Wisconsin, and John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, are, simony taosa whose, juunea
are mentioned in connection with the sec
ond place on the ticket, but as long as
there is doubt about who will head the
ticket no great excitement can be worked
up over the second place.
MAIN CONTEST OVER ILLINOIS
Delegates From a Number of Districts
Are Protested.
ST. LOUIS, July 3. Tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock the National commit
tee will meet for the purpose of hear
ing evidence in a number of contests
and deciding In favor of delegates who
are to be rated under the temporary
rollcall. The real fight in the major
ity of these cases will come' before the
committee on credentials.
Tho principal contest will be In Illi
nois, where protests are made against
two of the delegates-at-large, John P.
Hopkins and Ben T. Cahle and 26 other
delegates, two from each 13 districts.
The base of contest In all these cases
Is practically the same, it being al
leged that the Hopkins faction in the
Illinois Democracy arbitrarily unseated
delegates of the Harrison and Hearst
factions for purposes of their own
without a shadow of cause. The Hop
kins people, on tho other hand, alloge
that the original elections were void,
and that the action taken at tho Illi
nois State Convention, when the dele
gates of the Harrison and Hearst peo
ple were unseated, was only right
ing a wrong previously committed.
The Harrison people seek to substi
tute the names of their men for the
Hopkins delegates In the second, third,
sixth, ninth and tenth districts. Efforts
also will be made to unseat the Hopkins
delegates In the 11th, 12th, 18th, 16th,
18th, 21st 23d and 25th districts.
Bryan Enters the Tests.
Tho fight for tho seats In the Illi
nois delegation takes on added Inter
est from the fact that Bryan has en
tered the tests actively against the
Hopkins people and will lend all of his
Influence to unseat them. He declared
today "that in my opinion there Is no
more Important question before the
public today than whether or not a few
men, one of whom happens to have a
gavel In his hand, shall over-ride the
wishes of the voters who have selected
certain men to" represent them In con
vention. The people elect their men
and should havo them, but in some
cases of late it does not look to me as
though they wore getting them. I am
opposed to such things from every
standpoint"
It was thought today that Bryan
would be a member of the committee
on credentials, and thus be able to
help his friends In Illinois from tho
Inside of the committee, but he said
today that he would not be a member
of the credentials committee, as It was
necessory for him to be on tho com
mittee on resolutions and he could not
very well be on both committees, as
they would probably meet at the same
time.
The Hopkins people contend that the
National committee will not bo ablo to
take cognizance of the contests In Illi
nois for the reason that there was no
bolt from the State Convention by
either the Hearst or Harrison people,
and that the National commltteo can
not take up a contest unless It Is a
state matter. Differences arising from
direct causes, they .assert, are not
within the province of the National
committee.
Hearst Wants District Seats.
In addition to the contests in Illinois,
there will bo a fight for all the seats
of the delegates from tho District of
Columbia. The Hearst management
claims in this connection that arbi
trary rulings by the chairman gave
the seats unjustly to delegates who
are friendly to Gorman.
Practically the same ground of arbi
trary ruling Is made the Issue In the
tenth district of Indiana. Other con
tests that will come before the com
mittee tomorrow aro from the second
Maryland district, first, second, third,
fourth, fifth and sixth districts of
Pennsylvania, the second, sixth and
seventh of New Jersey. It was said
that the hearing of the evidence In these
contests would not consume a great
deal of time and that the main fight
would be made before the committee on
credentials in the majority of casos.
The Hopkins faction of the Illinois
Democracy especially is positive in its
assertions that the National committeo
will seat their men. They claim to
have made a canvass of the National
committee and assert that the greater
part of It Is favorable to their con
tention that contests arising in district
caucuses are not proper matter for
the National committee to adjudicate.
Gorman Sends a Letter.
ST. LOUIS. July 3. Mr. Gorman Jr.,
brought a letter from his father to Sena
tor Davis, the contents of which were
not stated. A report was circulated that
the letter authorized Mr. Davis to take
Mr. Gorman's name out of the Presiden
tial discussion, but Mr. Davis said this
was not true.
It is expected that a formal announce
ment will be made tomorrow that Sena
tor Gorman Is a candidate. Meanwhile
efforts are being made to keep favorite
sons in the field. Gorman's friends aro
trying to have Pennsylvania vote for ex
Governor Pattison so as to prevent Par
ker's nomination.
Some of the Hearst delegates have been
In conference with Gorman's friends and
have assured them that the Maryland
Senator has supporters among the Hearst
men. California and k South Dakota are
two states which have extended -hope to
the Gorman men.
Planning to Defeat Parker.
ST. LOUIS. July 3.-A conference of
prominent delegates opposing the nomina
tion of Judge Parker was held tonight at
the apartment of National Committeeman
Johnson, of Kansas. A complete canvass
of the situation was made and the deter
mination to impress upon the various
delegates the Importance of holding the
"favorite sons" In tho race was reached.
The participants express the opinion
that if this system is followed Mr. Par
ker's vote on the first ballot can be held
below a majority and his nomination pre
vented In the end.
Cry "Harmon and Harmony."
CINCINNATI, July 3. A number of
leading Cincinnati Democrats, who are

Labor Troubles.
OFFERS STATE HIS SERVICES
Editor of Cosmopolitan Believes He
Can Prevent Further Loss of
Good Repute and Further
Material Injury.
DE-.VER, Colo., July 3. William
Stapleton, editor of the Denver Republic
an, has received a letter from John Brls
ben Walker, editor and proprietor of the
Cosmopolitan Magazine, of New York, a
former resident of Denver, and still one
of the heaviest taxpayers of the state,
offering his services' as arbitrator In the
Colorado labor troubles. Mr. Walker's
proposition is as follows:
"More than a year ago, whtlo In Den
ver, I offered to ex-Governor Grant and
others my services as arbitrator, with a
view to adjusting the difficulties existing
In Colorado. At that time it was believed
a settlement would be reached within a
short time.
"Having lived In Colorado for nine years
as an alfalfa farmer, and still paying
large taxes there, I am deeply Interested
In the reputation and welfare of that com
monwealth. Because of my friendships
among Its people, my own business inter
ests there, and my pride in Colorado's
achievements, I would prevent If I could,
further loss of repute and any further
material Injury-
"For these reasons, I now again offer
my services as arbitrator to the mine
owners, to the miners and to the citizens
of the state. I understand the Issues, and
would act justly and Impartially. If my
services should be accepted by the par
ties who are at Issue, I will do my best
to speedily restore to Colorado that pros
perity and peace which wero the boast of
former years. Sincerely,
"JOHN BRISBEN WALKER."
WAR NOT ON UNIONS.
Citizens' Alliance President Defends
Deportation of Miners.
DENVER. July 3. President J. C. Craig,
of the State Citizens' Alliance, has Issued
a statement on the labor troubles In this
state. An attack is made on President
Samuel Gompers, of the American Feder
ation of Labor, because of his appeal to
the labor unions of the country for finan
cial aid for the miners In their fight be
fore the Federal courts. The reputation
of the Western Federation of Miners, says
Mr. Craig In his article, Is an unbroken
chain of violence.
Denial is made that the habeas corpus
has been suspended, or that a fair trial
has been refused prisoners. The military
authorities. President Craig says, have
been used to assist the civil authorities
in restoring order, and the Governor has
never declared martial law.
Peace would have been restored long
ago, . President Craig declares. If the
Eastern press had not encouraged the
miners. No pretense is made, "he says,
that the deportation of miners is a legal
act, but it is done through necessity.
The history of the strikes, and the fail
ure of the Legislature to pass the eight
hour law are exhasutively reviewed. He
denies that the Citizens' Alliance Is mak
ing war on the unions.
UNIONISTS MAY GO TO VICTOR
Labor Convention Would Show
Strength to "MIneowners.
CHICAGO. July 3. The Chicago Federa
tion of Labor, at today's meeting, adopt
ed resolutions favoring the holding of a
great union labor convention at Victor,
Colo., August 25 next. It was voted to
send out to every labor organization In
the country a request to send two dele
gates to the convention, with full power
to represent the bodies sending them.
The question was brought before the
Federation by a resolution Introduced by
the International Association of Railway
Clerks. This resolution stated that efforts
to Induce President Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, to hold a
convention for the consideration of the
Colorado problem have failed.
"We have been told that It is not so
much financial assistance that tho Colo
rado miners need," said John J. Ryan,
who led the movement, "but the mlneown
crs out there need to be shown the
strength of organized labor. Let us so
out there and beard the Hon In his den.
Let us see whether they will throw us
out as they have the miners.
"After we have visited the ground
where the trouble Is, we can best Judge
what assistance to offer the strikers. If
they need money, we can vote It to them
then."

The Jest had a serious meaning, which
the American people caught at once.
Through their Government they have ap
plied It in earnest Largely through the
folly of so-called leaders who would not
understand that what the American peo
ple get they keep, the preliminary task
of taming the elephant was made more
difficult But he has been tamed, and
now he Is being taught to work.
Since agriculture is the leading industry
of the islands, and the livelihood of the
great majority of their people, widening
of its scope and Improvement of its
methods was plainly the first thing to be
done in the way of direct teaching to
work. Professor F. Lamson-Scrlbner's
second annual report of the Insular Bu
reau of Agriculture shows what has been
done and is doing en this line.

INVITATIONS and

machinery and better plants and animals
are being introduced. Industries aban
doned by the natives through ignorance
are being revived.
For example, coffee was once an im
portant product of Batangas Province,
but Its growth had practically ceased ow
ing to the ravages of leaf blight and bor
ers. Tho coffee tree Is not a native of
the Islands, and through lack of knowl
edge had degenerated and was dying out
New and more vigorous stocks have been
Introduced with apparent success, and
there Is every prospect that in due time
Philippine coffee will again figure In the
market
Abaca fibre, or manila hemp. Is for
many purposes unrivaled, and the Philip
pines appear to havo a natural monopoly
of Its growth, attempts to produce- It of
equal quality elsewhere having uniformly
failed. It has been found that the yield
can be greatly Increased by careful selec
tion of species and cultivation. In this
cbnnectlon attention is called to the fact
that a machine that will strip and clean
the fiber without Injury to quality Is
greatly needed. The inventor who can
meet that demand Is certain of large re
ward. ,.
The progress made with rice is, how
ever, of the greatest Immediate interest
Rice is the chief food grain of the Islands,
and yet the production less than the
home consumption. -
PHOTOGRAPHING THE EYE. -
A New Appliance by Which-the U
. terlor of the Organ May Be Caught.
Scientific American.
Dr. Walter Thorner, of tho University
Eye Clinic at the Royal Charite In Berlin,
has recently succeeded In solving a prob
lem that has long occupied the minds of
oculists, many fruitless attempts havlife
been made heretofore to find a solution.
His invention -is an important one, and-'la
a big -step forward in the treatment of eye
diseases. Dr. Thorner has devised an ap
paratus, by means of which it has become
possible to photograph the background of
the eye and obtain good pictures of the
same. His contrivance constituates a ma
terial Improvement of the ophthalmoscope
Invented by Helmholtz In 1850. which latter
device only admits of looking at the back
ground of the eye. Owing to the peculiar
construction of the eye, It has been Impos
sible heretofore to photograph the Interior
or back of the eye. It is a matter of great
difficulty to Illuminate the Interior suffi
ciently to take a serviceable picture and
even If strong sources of light were used
the exposure would last tbo long, render,
lng necessary a fixation of the eye, which?
in turn would entail serious Inconvenience
to the patient t
By means of his apparatus, Dr. Thorner
first succeeded in obtaining photographs

curately done, and the plate put In, the
camera itsely Is opened by pressure on a
special lever, and a flashlight composi

generated in a storage battery. Thereby
the background of the eye Is lighted up
sufficiently for a moment to produce a

posed, and require special care in develop
ing to obtain the best results.
A large number of such photographs of
diseased and healthy eyes have been re
produced by Dr. Thorner In his recent
book, equally Interesting to the profes
sion as to laymen, entitled "The Theory
of the Opthalmoscope and the Photogra
phy of the Back of the Eye."
It Is possible to distinguish healthy eyes
readily from sick ones, the eye of a
strongly short-sighted person being, for
Instance, characterized by a peculiar ring
around the sun-like Illuminated center.
Oculists will now be enabled to watch the
progress of eye diseases or disorders step
by step. The apparatus also permits of
taking a picture of any separate parts of
the Interior of the eye.
How to Test Coffee.
Good Housekeeping.
Genuine roasted coffee, of no matter
what quality, will not impart Its color to
cold water, nor will the bean lose Its
smooth surface or hard, tough consist
ency when subjected to a soaking of any
duration; whereas chicory and other Im
itations become soft and spongy when
soaked and render the water muddy, so
that it Is only necessary to give the sus
pect a bath to determine Its genuineness.
Of course, the bean must be tried be
fore grinding and the water must be cold,
otherwise the test will not be conclusive.
To one who Is a lover of the steaming
beverage that Invigorates without intox
icating, or, on the other hand, one ex
perienced in handling coffee, the nostrils
and palate are sufficient to detect tho
spurious bean; for human Ingenuity,
while successful to a high degree in sim
ulating the appearance of the real bean,
falls when It comes to producing the
aroma and flavor; and It is for this rea
son that the artificial product cannot
stand alone.
Champagne and Prohibition.
