"Nine out of ten people believe," said
i surgeon to the writer, "that the eye
pan be taken out for repairs, just like
the works of a watch, and again re
placed in the socket precisely as it was
before. A moment's reflection ought
to show anyone how impossible this
would be. As a matter of fact, the eye
is held in place by no fewer than six
taut muscles, and, in order to turn it
out of the socket, at least four of these
would have to be cut through. Besides,
it is connected with the brain by a
thick nerve which cannot be stretched,
and it is also connected with the inside
of the skull by blood-vessels, and if
these were cut they could never be re
united. Perhaps a time will come when
a dead man can be restored to life; but
you may feel perfectly sure that the re
moval and restoration of the eye is a
surgical feat that will never be per
formed. "Another extraordinary popular be
lief is that respecting the nature of a
common cold. You will hear the most
intelligent men saying that it is due to
an excess of cold inside your body, and
they will advise you to use a mustard
plaster 'to draw out the cold.' In re
ality the cold is simply an excess of
lieut inside, and the mustard plaster is
intended to draw out the heat. What
happens when you get a cold is that the
cooling of the outside of the body
squeezes the blood vessels and forces a
lot more blood into the lungs than can
be accommodated. They become regu
larly Hooded and gorged, and the result
is really ft fever, though we call it a
cold.
"It seems a small th'ng to make a
mistake about the value of beef tea to
a sick man; but I can assure you that
hundreds of lives have been lost under
the popular error that beef tea is a
nourishing food. It is nothing more
than water in which the pleasant and
stimulating salts of the beef are dis-
solved and has the same etfeet as a mix
ture of whisky and China tea. But it
has scarcely a particle of nutriment,
nd both doctors and public have
starved to death more people than I'd
like to state through believing that it
tins.
"Very similur is the belief that an
tgg is as good as a pound of meat. If
you feed yourself on eggs according to
this absurd theory, you will simpiy
shrivel up into skin and bone. The real
vnlue of an egg is its weight in good
beef; so that it would take eight eggs
of the overage size to supply the place
of a pound of meat.
"Then there is the universal fallacy
about the liver. I dare say that a mil
lion of money is spent every year on the
livers of (irent ISritnin and about nine
hundred thousand of that sum does
harm instead of good. The liver is sub
ject to about one hundred diseases, and
the cure for any one of these may in
tensify r.ny other of the ninety-nine.
To take one case as an example; The
liver may he making too much bile, orit
may be making too little. Obviously,
the remedy for one of these disorders
would make the other worse than ever.
So that when a person recommends
something as being 'good for the liver,'
just think that it may bo good for his
liver, but not for yours.
"Women are far worse than men in
their beliefs about the body and its ail
ments. I am ciuite sure that out of
eery 100 children who die under
one y.ar oiu au are actually miieu
through the mother's belief that
food is not nourishing unless it is solid.
They don't understand that milk has
an immense amount of solid matter
dissolved in it, as sugar is dissolved in
water; and so they give the unfortun
ate children cornflour and bread, which
they, can no more digest than they can
digest iron nails. The result is a short
life of misery and then death, while
those of us who manage to survive are
made martyrs to dyspepsia all ourdayn.
"Many beliefs are merely absurd
without being dangerous. Hair, for in
stance, is composed of almost the same
material as the finger nails, and it is
perfectly dead. Cutting the ends of
It cannot possibly make it grow, al
though it does prevent the hair from
splitting up; nor can the hair become
white in a night, any more than a wig.
When novelists, too, by the way de
scribe a person's hair as standing on
end they speak of a phenomenon that is
perfectly impossible. Many of the low
er animals have little muscles attached
to the hairs by which they can erect
them, but human beings have no such
muscles, nor any other means of mak
ing the hair stand on end except their
hands or a comb and brush." N. Y.

part corresponding to the stick of the
umbrella n an immense cylinder,
30
feet in diameter, constructed of steel
plates firmly riveted, making a stand
pipe which rears its head 250 feet above
the level of the ground. At the extreme
top of this cylinder are fastened 12
long arms, resembling the ribs of an
umbrella. These are steel trusses,
reaching almost to the ground. At the
lower end of each of these ribs is sus
pended a car for carrying passengers,
each car having a capacity for 20 per
sons. These monster ribs are raised by hy
draulic power; acting by means of
steel cables operating through the cyl
inder, aided by a mechanism greatly
resembling that portion of an umbrella
which comes into action when the um

mechanism the gigantic arms are raised
until they are horizontal, the cars in
the meanwhile being carried outward
and upward until they reach a point
250 feet above the ground. The diame
ter of the huge circle formed by the
suspended cars is also 250 feet. When
the highest point Iras been reached
another mechanism comes into play
and the suspended cars are swung
slowly around in a circle, after which
Ihey are lowered to the ground. The
sides of the cars are of glass, so thai

. SNAKES PLAN A ROBBERY.
An Ingenious Arrangement by Which
Hank Swallows Were to Be Caught.
A number of Baltimore naturalist
had an unique experience the other day
while on an ornithological excursion.
They were searching for bank swal
lows in the neighborhood of Tolches
ter beach, about a mile from the piei
where the excursion boats land.
The nests of bank swallows ore built
in holes in perpendicular banks, gen
erally in colonies, dozens of holes be
ing only a few inches apart. The bark
the young men were exploring wa
about 30 feet in height, with the nests
averaging seven feet from the top. The
bank was almost perpendicular and
the nests were reached by means oi
ladders constructed of trees.
One of the naturalists, after work
ing for some time at one of the nests,
felt his hand come in contact with
some thing unuual. Drawing out his
hand and looking into the hole he was
surprised to find, coiled down at the
bottom a huge blacksnake, which, after
being gotten out and killed, proved to
be nearly seven feet in length.
Afterward two other snakes, equally
as long, were found in different holes.
The surface of the bank was perfeotly
smooth, so the only possible way foi
the snakes to have reached the nests
was to have let themselves down from
some short overhanging roots at the top
of the bank.
The snakes seemed to have worked
along the bank from nest to nest, as
several nests were found in which were
eggs that had been emptied of their
content. In a nest with one of the
makes was a bird which had been late
ly killed, and which the snake evident
ly was about to devour when its own
end came.
The naturalists said they had been
Dolleeting eggs for many years, but
had never before seen anything so like
well-planned attack of snakes upon
birds' eggs. Baltimore Sun. ( .
MARRILP BY PROXY.
No Less Than Three Queens HT
Thus Acquired Their Titles.
One of the queerest features of court
life in Europe is the marriage by proxy
jt royal personages. There are at the
present moment no less than three
oval ladies who hove been uius weuueu
the queen regent of Spain, the dow
ager queen of Portugal and the ex
queen of Naples.
Kings and reigning sovereigns are
held to be too important personages to
be married anywhere else than m theit
own dominions, un tnc oilier nanu,
it is Jicld to be infra dignitate for a
spinster princess of the blood, who is
about to blossom forth into a full
fledged queen or empress, to travel
abroad in quest of a consort.
In order to meet this difllculty the
royal or imperial bridegroom delegates
one of the principal nobles of the realm,
who goes through the religious and civil
portion of the wedding ceremony in the
capital of the bride's country ou behalf
of his master, making the responses for
him and tendering his hand, us well ns
the ring, at the prescribed points of the
ceremony. Ho then accompanies her
to his master's dominions, acting as her
chief escort.
According to the ideas of the Roman
Catholic church, n ceremony of this
kind is sufficiently binding upon the
bride and upon the royal bridegroom to
render any further ceremony, ecclesi
astical or civil, superfluous, and when
any additional religious function takes
place it usually assumes the form of a
"TeDeum"nnd a solemn benediction, at
tended by both husband and wife im
mediately on the arrival of the latter in
the capital of her adopted country.

During the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries monks frequently isolated
themselves from the world and repro-

and in no instance was it accomplished
in less than SS years. Guido de Jors

of Sir W. Burrell in 17U0. This copy of

Thonfcht to Address Him la

Schneider, you know, was held up un

his baggage. But Schneider said noth-

ed inwardly to the loss of his things,
because he said so afterward. But
mal was ail BU.Dsequ.enT; to me iun no
hud had unwittingly with the immigra
tion inspectors.
It is a well-known fact that these im
migration people speak more languages
than you hear in two months on the en
tire East side. Only once have they
been stumped, and that was when a
Hottentot Bushman came along with
a fevy labial gymnastics that seta-guessing
every man on the island.
While Schneider was moaning in the
pei Chief Clerk Lederhilger came
along. Chancing to observe the mel
ancholy appearance of the man, he
turned toward him. Now it happened
that Schneider, besides having a sort
of Teutonic air, wore clothes of unmis
takable German origin. So naturally
Lederhilger addressed him in German.
"Sind Sie Deutsch?" he asked.
Schneider humped up his shoulders,
spread out his palms and shook his
head.
"Funny," murmured the clerk to him
self, "I would have sworn to it, too."
And Schneider stood with a curious
look upon his face while the chief clerk
went after the French interpreter.
Presently Mr. Lederhilger returned
with the French inspector. Calmly
and confidently the interpreter strode
smiling toward Schneider ,and when in
range hurled out explosively:
"Etes-vous Francais?"
Again Schneider shrugged his shoul
ders and nodded negatively.
"Well, well," said the chief clerk.
"I'll just get the Russian interpreter
now. He'll fetch him, surely."
So pretty soon the Russian inter
preter came along, easy and pop-sure of
getting Schneider down to a fine
point.
"Just you watch," said lie, "I'll get
him."
"HI," said he, walking up to the
moody immigrant, "Zawarte Pa Rusku
hay. Redden Sie Yiddish?"
Schneider moved his seat hastily to
another part of the room, where he sat
violently shaking his head. It was
painfully evident that he didn't under
stand. It was also evident that he was
beginning to become alarmed. By this
time all the other interpreters had
heard something was up, so they came
streaming in by ones and twos and
squads, and up the stairs and through
the doorways, and one climbed over the
gate. And all the while Schneider's
alarm rose higher and he sat with a
look of great apprehension upon his
face.
"Just let me try him," said the Ital
ian interpreter: "Hi Sieta Italiano
si?"
Schneider bobbed his head negatively
and protested with his hands. Then
they surprised him and shot off abomto
bardment of polyglot questions calcu
lated to confuse the senses of a polar
bear, which at best is always calculated
to keep cool.
"Habla suited Espanol?" cried the
Spanish interpreter.
"Konne tolla Svensk?" roared the
Scandinavian.
"ThiggitJi thu Gneldoedh?" piped a
man that had a smattering of Gaelic.
"Cmwvir fan ffacken?" was the taffy
of the Welsh inspector.
"Che pau muvish po Ruski?" yelled
the Polish interpreter. "Che pau Pol
ish?" By this time Schneider was backed up
against the wall with his hands out
stretched to ward off the horde.
"Maybe he's a Hottentot!" someone
roared, and a red-faced man leaned over
and screamed: "Ki bobbiri Walli? Kl

cried out in English: "That ain't Hot

yell, too.
"Hay," he cried, "what is this, any
way- a lunatic asylum or what?
Lemme out!"
"Good laws," said the Inspectors,
"he's an American!"
"That's what I am," said Schneider,
"and I want to get out." And he got
