CURIOUS STATISTICS DEVELOPED BY ; | { Found In the Human Eye--Slue | uted to the eye really resides in the lids, the eyebrows asd the muscles of the ad- | It is to this ex- is directed. They see a light coming from the eye and vitalizing the expression of lids and muscles, but the real character of the eye itself they fail to notice. "Now, 1 have formed the habit of not- ing the color of eyes, and I find it very interesting. I could tell you the color of the eyes of any person I had ever met, I believe, not merely whether they are light or dark, blue, gray or brown, according to the conventional classification, but the fhades and mixtures, the appreciation of which is the real fascination in the study of eyes. I firmly believe that there is no color recognized that cannot be found in the eyes of some human being. There are red eyes, green eyes, silver eyes, golden eyes, violet eyes, sapphire, baby blue, black, white, yellow eyes and eyes be- sides in which these tints sre mixed. Somge kinds are very rare, and if you are a connoisseur in the subject the sudden discovery of a rare species--for a mo- ment on the street perhaps--gives you a thrill of pleasure. "Bive eyes, I suppose, are most com- mon, but of these there are many varie- ties. The most common kind is that which is really a mixture of dark blue and grayish white. With this kind of an eye sometimes the blue and white are mixed irregularly, in which case the eye lacks brilliance, though it may be lus- trous. Sometimes the body of the iris is grayish white, with blue radii extending from the pupil This marking gives a peculiarly bard expression to the eye. In still another subvariety the central part of the iris is light bluish gray, with a rim of dark bine. Sach an eye is often mis- taken for black. The dark rim around the tris is not so noticeable in blue eyes as in some other kinds, notably white and golden eyes, in which it produces a strange, startling and fascinating effect, "The limpid blue eye is comparatively | rare. It is of a uniforti coloration and appears to be almost liquid. Fine speci- mens have a certain beanty, but the eye, as a rule, lacks character. it is the china bine or robin's egg blue eye, also of uniform colorstion, but lack- ing liquidity, It also is lacking somewhat in character. "Of brown eyes the varieties are num- besiess. The deepest shade usually pass- es for black. Some eyes of this shade suggest a velvety texture, and the whites by contrast have a peculiarly pearly lus- ter. There is always something sinister and unpleasant about the eyes of this sort. Then there are the soft brown eyes that sre usually called pleasant and the sharp brown eyes that are called snappy. You may occasionlly find brown eyes of such a light tint as to be called properly orange or yellow. The golden eye is a variety of the brown eye, but a wonder ful variety. It is not a yellow eye. It is infinitely more strange, more beautiful, than the yellow eye. I recently saw a woman on the street who had a pair of these eyes. The effect of them was en- hanced by a black rim around the iris. They were not ecactly like the gold of a coin, but rather like the gold dust that floats and shimmers on a stream. Golden eyes are not ferocious. They suggest the wild creature that has been tamed to gen- tenes. "When I speak of red eyes, I do not mean those of the albino, which are merely painful freaks of nature. I am thinking of what is really a variety of the brown eye. It is about the shade of a cinnamon bear's furry coat. In shadow it appears brown, but in bright sunlight it flashes crimson. There is something strangely sinister about these eyes. They found in the most smiling face. "Green eyes are often the most fasci- nating of all eyes. The shade is rarely found unmixed, but I have seen eyes of 2 uniform tint resembling that elusive green that may be observed for a moment in a summer sunset. Usually the green tint is mixed with gray or brown or both. | The combination with brown or brown and gray is known familiarly as the if Liki Fen Ef : FF g i i iti § ¥ Near akin to | { oxygen in keeping his body temperature flash spite and fury even when they are OUR SUPPLY OF AIR IN FIVE HUNDRED YEARS IT MAY BE ALL USED UP. Somé of the Things With Which Man May or May Not Have to Con- tend Im His Desperate Strugsie For Existence In the Future. seemt that we or, rather, our dé world's supply of breathing air. Scientists have made some very [nter ésting speculations as to what would happen in the event of the world's oxy- gefi becoming gradually used up. For in stance, they say that with the decrease of oxygen in the air the heat of summer would become intense. This would not be the pitiless, parching heat of the desert. Moisture would hang heavy in the air, Steam would rise from the ground, and the sun would be veiled in clouds of vapor. Plants would spring up and flower ih a day and trees grow almost in a night. With time for adjustment the very luxu- risnce of vegetation would clear the aif again and furnish breath to famished an- imal life. But the mischief, it is said; will have been accomplished in a few centuries. Aldrm would spread too lite. As oxygen becomes precious the entire human race would strive madly for some means of increasing it. Every man would conserve his strength, becaus¢ muscular effort re- quires the expenditure of much oxygen. Factories would not smoke any longer, Huge electric plants would distill the seas into mir. The banks of the ocean would be crowded with the humanity that would come to it to turn it by sci- ence from water to breath. Every year the waters would recede under the drain of the electrolyzing process. Man would become more puny with each geperatiofi. Death would confront the race, and pride of power and trade and achievement In art and learning would give way 10 & desperate struggle for life. Certain animals, on the other hand, would thrive apace. Huge and brilliant fishes would swim the sluggish streams, Serpents would grow to monstrous size, and great frogs would croak in the swamps. Indeed all of lower nature might reach its flower again before the death of man, as it did before his birth. The sturdiest of the human species would survive longest. Scarcely on the last day would the last men be able to distinguish the faces of each other in the thick vapor. They would move about in the dense atmosphere with slower and slower steps. A torpor would creep over them, and they would fie. On the other hand, there may be sources of oxygen supply yet unknown to us. Man may invent an artificial process of freezing oxygen from its combinations. Or man may become a cold blooded anl- mal and capable of existing upon an in- finitesimal supply of oxygen. Vegetation upon the earth would prob- ably have to be swept away before our supply of breathing air gave out. In that ease it is a problem whether man would not starve to death before asphyxiation came upon him. As animal life is now constituted it cannot exist without oxygen. Vegeta- tion, on the other hand, lives upon car- bonie acid gas, which Is useless to ani- mals. This forms the main distinction between animal and vegetable life. Each supports a laboratory which works for the subsistence of the other. Fish and other cold blooded animals live upon an infinitesimal amount of oxy- gen. They use it only in muscular effort. Their body beat is the same as that of the element in which they live. Man, on the other hand, is not content with enough oxygen for this. He lives in a mean annual temperature of 55 de- grees. He uses up a wasteful amount of at 98 degrees, It is quite within the range of possibility that evolution may change all this. Naturally if a man's body tem- perature were low nature must provide some means for him to withstand sum- mer heats. Perspiration might be more coplous or, since we know theoretically that the sun's heat is diminishing, It may be that the mean temperature of the earth would be much lower by that time. There are various makeshifts possible by which man might stave off oxygenless days. If he succeeded in tiding over a critical period into which he had got him- self by wastefully using up his supply of breathing air, nature would come to his uid in time. Processes of manufacture do not of course nse up oxygen in the sense of de- stroying it. They cause it to combine with carbon to form carbonic acid gas. It we find our supply of oxygen run- air again. Vegetation in its laboratory | does this for us all the time. We may imitate nature's laboratory. Heving exhansted onr fuel supply, we electricity to furnish water on the hydrogen and oxy- should mot hesitate on that account. One quart of water will furnish 500 quarts of oxygen approximately.

A Judicial Retort Sir William Meredith, chief justice of Ontario, Canada, was formerly a very prominent politician as well as a fa- mous lawyer. He wis especially noted for his success as prosecuting attor- ney, and few criminals escaped convies tion when he addressed the jury. - During one of his political campaigns he was speaking at a meeting in the city of London, his native town. The audience was turbulent and be was frequently Interrupted. Finally & voice from the gallery cut into one of his fitter flights with a sarcastic "Oh, go and get your hair cut!" Sir William, who Wore his hair somewhat longer than Is usual, was stopped by & burst of latghter. But as soon as he was able to make him- self heard he turned the laugh and won the audience by this reply: "My friend, if 'm not mistaken, Fve had your balr cut before this!" Fainting. The direct cause of fainting is a di- minished circulation of blood through' the brain. To revive a person who has tainted it 1s necessary, therefore, to al ter this condition as quickly as possi- ble. In order to do this the individual should be laid guite flat, the head on a level with the body, so that feebly acting heart will not have to ] blood upward. The neck and che should be exposed, fresh air admitted freely, water sprinkled on the face and stimulating vapors, such &s ammonia, beld at intervals to the nostrils.
