THE CYCLOPEAN EYE.
I Exists Today In Rudimentary Form
In Man's Brain.
The Greeks were, unwittingly, very
near an anatomical trutti when they
ascribed to certain monsters called Cy
clops only one eye apiece, which was
placed In the center of their foreheads.
The cyclopean eye exists today in
the brains of men in a rudimentary
form, for in the pineal gland we find
the last vest! ties of that which was
once a third eye and which looked out
Into the world, If not from the center
of the forehead, at least from very
near that point. There is alive today a
little : creature which would put to
shame the one eyed arrogance and
pride of Polyphemus and Arges and
Brontes and Steropes and all the rest
of the single eyed gentry who, In the
days of myths and myth mnkers, In
habited the "fair Sicilian Isle."
The animal In question Is a small
lizard called Calotis. Its well develop
ed third eye Is situated In the top of
Its head and can be easily soon
through the modified and transparent
scale which serves it as a cornea.
Many other' lacertilians have this third
eye, though It Is not so highly organ
. lzed as it Is in the species Just men
tioned. A tree lizard which Is to be found In
the mountains of east Tennessee and
Kentucky has Its third eye well de
veloped. This little animal is called
the "singing scorpion" by the moun-
taineers. On dissection the third eye
will be found lying beneath the skin.
It has a lens, retina and optic nerve.

BEAUTIFUL LEAVES.
And the Tiny Cell That Give Them
Their Brilliant Hue.
A leaf Is one of the most beautiful
things in nature, and it Is very won
derful to think that it owes its lovely
color to minute little living bodies or
cells of chlorophyll.' This word comes
from two Greek ones, chloros, green,

The chlorophyll cells or granules
absorb the light and beat of the sun's
rays and In some marvelous way,
which only scientists can understand,
manufacture the sugar which is neces
sary for the life of the tree itself by
combining the cnrbonlc acid gas of the
atmosphere with the water drawn in
by its roots. These tiny cells are so
very small that as many as 400,000
have been counted in a square mllll-,.
meter of the leaf of a castor oil plant,
and in order that they may come in
contact with as much sunlight as pos
sible the leaf turns slightly on Its stalk
toward the sun.
If you notice the arrangement of the
leaves on a bough you will see that
nature has placed them so that they
form an almost perfect "light screen"
and catch all the sunshine that there
Is. If: it were not for the constant
work of these little chlorophyll cells
the splendid trees in our forests would
wither and die and there would be no
green things left "In the world. Lon

The long legged South African sec
retary birds travel In pairs, male and
female. If disturbed or pursued their
pace is about as fast as that of a run
ning horse. They seldom use ' their
wings and if compelled to do so can
soar to a considerable height . They
build bulky nests, and where trees are
to be had they select one fifty to a
hundred feet above the ground. Their
nests are built of sticks and sods, lined
with grass, and measure as much as
five feet in diameter and three feet in
thickness. As a rule only two eggs are
laid. Incubation takes v six weeks,
which is done by the female. The
I young have to remain in their nests
several months before they can stand
on their long, slender legs, which are
! very weak and brittle. The young
easily break their legs if disturbed.

It is well known that the Friends
have always been devoted to the prin
ciples of peace. As they had a con
trolling influence in the public affairs
of Nantucket, there was no military
organization on that island for several
generations, now trie matter was
managed is told by the author of
"September Days on Nantucket."
Whenever military companies came
to the island for a holiday young wo
men thronged the windows and waved
handkerchiefs, but there was no rise
of military ambition in the town.
Once a coterie of young men formed a
training company and sent to Boston
for equipments, but their elders com-
I pelted them to make the first article of
their constitution read, "This company
shall be disbanded Immediately In case
of war." .

A'fJ UNKNOWN RACE.
Traditions the Hohokam, Who Were
th First Americans.
In the beg.'unlfS the riohokam dwelt
In the lund. They were the first Amer
icansbefore the pilgrim fathers, bo
fore the Spaui& ids. before the Indians.
They were the unknown people who
lived in the Uuh'ed States so long ago
that their name 1 utterly lost. In the
southwest old triles of Indians like
the Zunls and Nav.sjos know nothing
of them save by vaguest tradition.
The Plmas and Papiigos of southern
Arizona, who occupy part of the land
that once was , theirs, know that an
other race possessed the country long
ago. More they cannot tell.' They
and their fathers for hundreds of
years have seen what we see the
scanty remnants of ancient villages.
For the inhabitants of the villages
they -have no name except the Hoho
kam that is, the "unknown."
The modern archaeologist describes
the implements and pottery of the
Hohokam. He cannot do much more,
for their, houses are laid low. Except
in a few places, such as the ruins of
Casa Grande, near the Gila river, the
very walls have vanished. Casa
Grande Itself may be the work of a
people later than the main body of the
Hohokam. We can never know the
whole story. Yet little by little we
may learn Its chief facta. Arizona
and the adjacent regions are full of
ruins unknown to scientists and even
to the people who live within a mile
of them. They are so nearly obliterat
ed that there seems at first sight little
to repay study.
Archaeology begins the task of recon
structing the past. Geography must
finish it. Modern geography enables
us to determine the mode of life which
must prevail, especially among primi
tive peoples, under given conditions of
physical environment If we can cor
rectly picture the geographic environ
ment of the Hohokam we may learn
much of the history of our earliest fel
low countrymen. Ellsworth Hunting

BOILERS AND BODIES.
Alike In Many Respects In the Treat
ment They Require.
The boiler has a certain temperature
corresponding with the working pres
sure it is desirable to use and for
which it was constructed.
The body has Its normul temperature.
Any varlutlon above or below this
means too high bodily pressure or a
reduced vitality.
The fuel put Into a boiler should be
that which It is designed to burn. Dif
ferently constructed, boilers will not
economically burn the same fuel.
The body should receive the food it
is best able to assimilate. Diverse con
stitutions require diverse nourishment.
A boiler should be fired with small,
equal quantities of fuel at stated in
tervals; large masses irregularly fed
are fatal to satisfactory results.
The body., should be fed similarly;
overloading the stomach produces im
perfect digestion and deranges our
physical systems. '
Boilers are Insulated by brickwork,
cellular asbestos, etc., to prevent loss
of .heat, by radiation.

The more perfect the boiler the less

Some individuals are so constituted
that they exist on small quantities of

Why the Trunk Was Slow.
"I hnd a most delightful time last
summer," gushed MIks Noling. "but I
was drjpndfully Inconvenienced at
Leaflandville waiting for my trunk. I
went there by the N. T. C. so as to
take advantage of the scenery along
the route, but I had to send my trunk
on the slow B. C. and E."
"But why couldn't you have- sent
your trunk on the N. T. C, too?" mur
mured Miss Sterling.
"Because," explained Miss Noling,
glad to show her superior knowledge,
"I learned from a friend of mine tlint
the N. T. C. is not a trunk line."

Warning to Railroad Men.
Look out for severe and even dang
erous kidney and bladder trouble re
sulting from years of railroading. Geo.
E. BelJ, 639 Third St., Fort Wayne,
lad, was many years a conductor on
the Nickel Plate. He says: "Twenty
years of railroading left my kidneys
In terrible condition. There was a
continual pain across my back and
hips and my kidneys gave me much
distress, and the action of my bladder
waa frequent and most painful. I got
a supply of Foley Kidney Pills and
the first bottle made a wonderful Im
provement and four bottles cured ine
completely. Since being cured 1
have recommended Foley Kidney
Pills to many of my railroad friends."
