"Coastwise shipping inter
est:," says an Ksistorn exchange,
"did not ask for free tolls;" and
then follows the inquiry as to
who it is that is interested in
the exemption business which is
making so much trouble for
Uncle Sam with reference to
the prospective operation of the
canal.
The ingenuous simplicity of
this mqiurv, if it is accepted at
its face value, is amazing.
Coatswise shipping interest's are
railroad interests for the most
part; and railroad interests are
certainly not clamoring for free
tolls to American coast shipping
through the canal. It opposition
to free tolls as it has developed
abroad could be traced to its
true source, we venture to say
that its beginnings would le
found where American n.iiroad
securities are held. The entire
campaign in all its piavtical
aspects, is a railroad campaign.
Free tolls with other pro
visions in the canal bill will
tend to break the railroad mon
opoly of coast shipping in this
country, and it is by reason of
that fact, and from the great
number of people who will profit
by it that the demand for free
tolls comes. Specious argu
ment ami false .pretense will
neVer blind the American people
to the true state of affairs with
reference to cnnal tolls. The
people built the canal and paid
for it in the face of railroad op
position, and they are not to be
robbed or its advantages by the
sophistry which the raiiroads
and their agents are peddling
about. Telegram.
Pierpont Morgan is going to
visit Egypt and the panigrapher
is busy telling about the Egypt
ians going to chain down their
pyramids. However we think
it labor in vain, hut if they have
any trust material laying around
loose they can rely upon Mr.
Morgan to gather it up, consoli
d.ite it and charge them a good
round sum for hi.i labor. J. P.

The Kansas state college is
going to educate girls to make
good wives. This is a com
mendable enterprise, but per
haps it will be just as well if the
college authorities will educate
some of the young men up to
make good husbands so that
those young ladies will not be
lonesome in the home making.
The snow, the beautiful snow
has been with us in reality dur

The benevolent old gentleman
got busy when he saw four boys,
eight or nine years of age, attack
one boy about the same age.
"You mustn't, you mustn't," he
said when he had hauled them off,
"attack your little companion this
way. What has he done to deserve
such harsh treatment?"
The four boys glowered sullenly,
while the one boy whimpered as he
thought what would happen to him
when the benevolent old gentleman
went on his way.

last, "he won't join the band of
kindness our teacher wants to get
up in our school." Chicago Inter

SENSE OF SIGHT.
Tha Simpls Eya of Man and tha Cam
pound Eya of tha Fly.
A specialist has claimed that lie
can with the unaided eve distin
guish lines ruled in glass that arc
only one fifty-thousandth of mi
inch apart, hut Le ('onto has lim
ited the pnwpr of the eye to distin-
miiuliinrv linou tk AntiMi.Mi.iiiillli ..f
; n j,,,.!,"
j To show how immensely superior
two points of a pair of compasses
placed three inches apart on the
least sensitive parts of the body will
be felt as a single prick
With the aid of the microscope
the human eye can discern objects
whose diameter is onlv about one
one-hundred-and-eight - thou-andth
of an inch. It has been said that
the eye of a fly can distinguish un
object one five-millionth of an inch
in diameter.
What we designate as the eve of
a fly is really a compound eye made
up of numerous lenses. Of these
the common housefly has some
thing like 4,000 in the two eyes.
The structures of these lenses are
well known, the optical part of each
consisting of two lenses, which com
bined form a double convex lens.
That each lens acts as a separate
eye can be easily proved by detach
ing the whole of the front of the
compound eye and by manipulation
with a microscope it is not clillicult
to examine a photograph or other
object through it. When this is
dono a distinct image is seen in
each lens.
Carpenter has shown that each
lens reflects but a small portion of
the image looked at and that it re
quires the combined action of the
4,000 lenses of the fly to produce
the same effect as that seen by the
one human eye. The human eye is
therefore a more perfect optical in
strument than the eye of the fly.
Scientists who have given consid
erable attention to the investiga
tion of compound eyes have formed
no opinion that would lead to the
conclusion that their power of
vision with respect to small objects
exceeds that of the simple eyes of
the higher animals. The images of
objects formed - in the separate
lenses composing the compound eye
are proportionally small, and the
question whether insects can see
smaller objects than animals fur
nished with single eyes is not a
question of optics, but of the sensi
tiveness of the optic nerve and con
sequently a matter of mere conjec
ture. Harper's Weekly.
