THE EYE THEWINDOW
yo
OF THE
SOUL
Walter Irwin M O
The eye which can look and laugh
and dance and love and hate and
sneer that can woo and wound suc
cumb or subjugate retreat or triumph
Is indeed the window of the soul
and must be free from defects which
pervert the images pictured on the
brain or all our relations to the ex
ternal world are changed The spright
ly step becomes slow and halting fa
miliar faces pass without recognition
the appearance of vigor is quickly
changed to that suggesting decrepi
tude when vision fails Happily In
the march of science the needs of the
eye have not been overlooked This
intelligent speaking organ as it be
gins to fail can be misfitted abused
and ruined or it may be fitted with
correct lenses and preserved to ex
treme old age
Eyes of Children
Do you sometimes feel discouraged
that your little one does not seem to
do better in school Does the child
seem awkward in its play stumbling
over objects which other children
avoid Do you sometimes feel that
there is something wrong with the
child and that it must be stupid If
so I want to say to you as a careful
observer of children that many times
the symptoms described are due en
tirely to defective eyesight
In many of the eastern cities prac
tical tests have recently been made
of the eyesight of children in the pub
lic schools and it was shown that a
much larger percentage or dullness
could be attributed to defective vision
than was thought possible heretofore
The Wearing of Glasses
A few years ago it was considered
almost a disgrace to wear glasses It
was almost as much as a girls matri
monial chances were worth to appear
with them on Spectacles were con
sidered a mark of deformity or of
old age and you seldom found a
young person willing to wear them
no matter how badly the glasses were
needed But fortunately for those
who are compelled to wear them
Dame Fashion came to the rescue and
set the seal of her august approval
upon them and lo all was cnangea
Glasses became the fad and many a
dainty patrician nose submitted to the
tiny golden yoke and many a pair of
lovely eyes quite free from any de
fect in sight looked out upon the
world through the little glass panes
and their fair owner went on her way
rejoicing in the knowledge that she
was in the fashion up to her eyes
This fad however had its day and
glasses were laid aside by those who
really had no need of them but the
fashion had done good as it had paved
the way for those less fortunate who
I i lW 1
found them quite essential to their
comfort and well being Possibly the
day will never come again when
glasses will be considered disfiguring
in fact popular opinion has changed
and glasses are now regarded as lend
ing quite a distinguished appearance
to the countenance Possibly this is
due to the fact that they are worn by
so many professional and business
men who follow clerical work and
who have Invested glasses with a dig
nity in the eyes of the public and
have helped to do away with the
prejudice that once existed
Defective eyes cannot in all cases
be cured but they can be generally
assisted by the proper treatment or
the use of glasses although to say
that everyone who notices anything
Wrong with their eyes as smarting
watering redness quivering of the
lids etc Is in need of glasses is
like saying that everyone who limps
needs crutches whether he may have
a broken leg or a corn on his toe
The accusation is sometimes made
nowadays that people are given
glasses when it is not necessary that
children never used to wear glasses
and they got along just as well
The wise parent is not Influenced by
any illogical sentiment which may
materially affect the future life of his
offspring for he knows that more
children do wear glasses today than
formerly with a consequent result
that there is less serious trouble with
the eyes of grown up children where
parents have given this faculty sensi
ble consideration Seventy five years
ago nothing was done for crossed-
eyes later operation for the trouble
became common but this helped the
situation only slightly Now nine
tenths of incipient cases of cross eyes
are cured by treatment and the use of
proper glasses
The human emotions are too sim
ilar to permit of a denial of the fact
that any deformity in the physical
make up is not a source of Infinite
sorrow but some of the most tender
hearted of parents do not realize the
burden their little ones bear in being
cross eyed
Kryptok Lenses Mean Quality
Opticians have labored hard upon
the problems of their profession since
the time Franklin first evolved the
idea of a two part lens until with
modern scientific achievement the
Kryptok lens alone stands as repre
senting the combined result of the in
dustry and skill required in bringing
the merit of Kryptok quality to its
present standard of perfection

TOILET OF THE DIYEE
OPERATION OF PUTTING ON AND
TAKING OFF HIS COSTUME
One of the RcqnlHlten of the Divers
DreNdlnff Platform Is an Old Tin
Can A LcBdon In the Art of TaUlnff
Thl n kh Easy XeceNxIty For Care
To watch a diver while he is dressing
or divesting himself of his professional
apparel is not only to be taught a les
son in the art of taking things easily
but also impresses one with the fact
that the divers is the only occupation
under the sun in which a tin can Is a
toilet requisite
The can In question is not an orna
mental object such as a silver backed
hairbrush is or a set of manicure in
struments but the divers valet needs
it in his business as much as any fop
needs either of the silver implements
for it Is In this battered old tin that
the valet drops the thumbscrews that
keep the rubber cloth of the diving
suit confined in place between the
outer and Inner plates of the cuirass
like shell the diver wears over his
shoulders and across his breast There
they remain until the diver is ready to
dress again when the valet carefully
picks them out of the tin and screws
them back In place
The operation of dressing a diver re
quires two distinct movements one
taking place on the deck of the vessel
or platform from which he is working
the other at the head of the ladder on
which the diver descends to the depths
below It Is a business that requires a
good deal of time for the divers life
depends on just how carefully each of
the several things are done and no
one sacrifices thoroughness to speed
The diver always has a comfortable
place to sit on before he begins remov
ing his shoes after which he draws on
a long pair of heavy woolen stockings
over the legs of trousers Over these
again he pulls on another pair of
trousers and then he draws on the
lower part of his diving suit proper
After that is done he Is in the hands of
his valet who Is also the man who
tends the air pipe and signal rope after
the diver has descended to the bottom
of the sea
One of the curiosities of this opera
tion Is the immobility of the man who
is being dressed He sits perfectly still
With his hands clasped between his
knees rarely speaking his eyes fixed
on some distant point as though he
were absorbed in considering some
weighty problem
Meanwhile the valet has been draw
ing the rubber suit up on the divers
arms and part way np over his chest
and then he slips down over his head
the steel cuirass that keeps the pres
sure of the water away from his chest
and also serves to support the weight
of the copper helmet on his shoulders
At this point in the operation the tin
can comes into use and the valet takes
from it the brass thumbscrews that
confine the upper edges of the diving
suit between the cuirass and the four
steel bands that are fastened outside
of it Then the valet puts a black silk
skullcap on the divers head and the
diver waddles over to the head of the
ladder after a pair of heavy rubber
bands are slipped over the rubber cuffs
of the suit for the diver works with
bared hands
Then come the final touches of the
costume which are always made as
breast belt and the copper helmet The
diver slips his feet Into the shoes of
cast Iron and his valet and another
helper buckle them around his instep
Then he bends down resting his arms
on the head of the ladder while tho
belt on which are fastened great thick
squares of lead Is buckled around his
breast and across his shoulders
The signal cord is fastened to the
breastplate with leather thongs and
then the signal is given to the man at
the air pump to work lively which
means that he is to send the wheel
around at a much faster pace than he
does when the diver is at work this
being done to get a good current of air
passing through the pipe Least time
of all does it take to put the helmet
on for It is dropped into place and
after one half turn the thing Is done
Down goes the grotesque figure be
low the surface of the water up from
the helmet comes a constant stream of
air bubbles and if the diver is not
working at too great a depth you can
presently hear the click of his tools
ringing away at work New York

Emernonu Prayer
Whittier and Emerson were taking a
drive together when they passed a
small unpainted house by the road
side
There said Emerson pointing out
the house lives an old Calvinist and
she prays for me every day I am glad
she does I pray for myself
Does she said Whittier What
does thee pray for friend Emerson
Well replied Emerson when I
first open my eyes upon the beautiful
world I thank God that I am alive and
live so near Boston

Methods for constructing subaqueous
tunnels such as those now being built

consistency of the mud and the outside
pressure there frequently Is a cave In
or a blowout the compressed air es
capes to the surface of the river and
the tunnel Is flooded
Mr Sooysmlths plan Is briefly to
employ an icing plant to reduce the
temperature In the tunnel to 25 or 30
degrees below zero thereby freezing
the mud and water Workmen then
remove the mud with pick and shovel
or by blasting Compressed air is
abandoned blowouts It is claimed
are things of the past and the work

is claimed is much cheaper than other

LORD NORTHCLIFFE EDITOR
Yonng Genius Who Owns Flfty elgrht
Newspapers and Magazines
Lord Northcliffe better known as Sir
Alfred Harmsworth has obtained from
the government of Newfoundland a
concession of 60000 acres of forest
land so that his publications may nev
er suffer from a paper famine Lord
Northcliffe owns fifty eight periodicals
including London and country dally
weekly and monthly newspapers and
magazines The price of paper is in-
creasine and Lord Nortbcliffe nrerHots
near the head of the ladder as possible that before long the newspapers of this
ror tnese operations consist of putting
on the weighted shoes the weighted
country will suffer from an inadequate
supply lie says his Newfoundland
tract will furnish enough wood pulp
for paper to supply not only all of his
own periodicals but a dozen of the
largest papers in the United States as
well
When a lad of seventeen years Lord
Northcliffe disappointed his father an
Irish barrister by not taking up law
as a profession He began a
IiORD NORTHCLIFFE
tic career at the age of twenty one
was writing editorials for a London
paper and soon after owned his first
publication with which he made a for
tune Prosperity has followed him
since in all his ventures and he is now
only forty years old He was created
a baronet In June 1904 and last De
cember was raised to the peerage be
ing now a viscount
Lord Northcliffe has always had a
great liking for the United States and
its people Eight years ago when ha
had the Windward a vessel fitted for
arctic exploration on his hands he
gave it to Commander R E Peary for
one of the latters expeditions

PASSING OF THE LION
Once Mlffhty Drute Loalnff Ground
Ilefore Civilization
The lion like the other great cats la
a relic of a diminishing race and do
minion In the early stone age the
cave Hon roamed throughout tho
southern half of Europe nnd it Is be
lieved that along the Mediterranean at
least its extinction was due to prehis
toric man
The battle has gone on ever since
Loug ago lions were exterminated
from Afghanistan Baluchistan and
northern Persia A century ago they
were more or less prevalent on north
western India but now none remain
eave a few In the Gheer a wooded
hilly tract of Kattlawar where they
are to some extent preserved by the
nawabs of Joonaghoor Farsistan
where the marshes about Nlris lake af
ford shelter and the hosts of pigs
feeding on the acorns of the oak forests
furnish subsistence
Similar conditions enable a few lions
to maintain themselves along the lower
Euphrates and Tigris but they wero
long ago exterminated from all Asia
Minor Syria Arabia Egypt and Alge
ria From Abyssinia and the southern
Sahara southward to the Orange river
lions still exist except in the most pop
ulous districts and In some places are
very numerous
There seems never to have been more
than one species nor In spite of the
former belief In the mnneless lions of
Guzerat and the black mancd ones
of other places Is any variety well lo
calized Lions with full manes havo
been shot In India as well as those
with hardly any and out of fifty malo
lion skins scarcely two will be found
alike in color and length of mane

THE FLAG REVERSED
A Fishermans Emblem That Telia of
Distress and Hope
One of the frequent sights In the
ports along the eastern coast Is that of
a fishing schooner coining into the har
bor with an American flag hoisted at
the mainmast head In Its reverse posi
tion To the Interested spectators that
flag always brings a pang of distress
for It means that one or more of the
crew are missing through some calam
ity of the sea But to the members of
the craft Itself the signal is not always
an emblem of woe The flag Is hoisted
from their viewpoint to notify those
concerned that the complement of the
ship Is not full and they live on hope
for a long time before they acknowl
edge that the men who have disappear
ed are really lost
A stranger to seafaring ways asked
the skipper of one of these fishing
schooners the other day what the dis
tress signal meant and he was set
right by the captain who remarked In
the most cheerful way In the world
Theyre missing out of th crew of
course but we havent given them up
by a long sight Ye see they may
have been picked up by some other
boat an carried off to th other side
Oh no we dont give them up just be
cause weve missed them Its more
than likely theyll turn up yet New
