Of the many curious facta which ar«; discussed .concerning the eye, what is known as "the blind spot" seems the least understood, says the Philadelphia Record. In the eye itself certain things may go on which give us wrong sensa­ tions, which, although not truly illu* sions, are very much like them. Thus, when we suddenly strike our heads of" faces against something in the dark, we see "stars" or bright sparks, which we know are not real lights, though they are quite as bright and sparkling aa if they were. When we close one eye and look straight ahead at some word or letter in the middle of this page, for example, we seem to see not only the thing we are looking at, but everything else immediately about it, and tor a long way on each side. But the truth is, there is a large round spot, Somewhere near the point at which we are looking, in which we see nothing. Curiously enough, the existence of this blind spot was not discovered by acci­ dent, and nobody ever suspected it un til Mariotte reasoned from. the con­ struction of the eyeball that it must exist and proceeded to find it.

The burial /Kiolt plaos on A Tall Rat Starr* The London Field tells this story: A rat was caught alive on board a British . naval vessel in a trap, and the beast was thrown from the trap into the water without being killed. A large gull that was following in the wake of the ship to pick up scraps of food thrown over­ board by the steward swooped down several time*, endeavoring to pick the rat up. Once the bird got too close to the rat's jaws, and the beast grabbed it by the neck. After a short fight the rat succeeded in killing the bird. When the gull was dead the rat scrambled upon the bird's body. and. hoisting one wing as a sail and using the other as a rudder, succeeded in steering for the shore. Whether the rat reached shore or not is the question, since the ship soon got out of sight of the skipper and its craft. TOLLS PAID IN HORSESHOES •arrival mt a Carta** OM Ca«t«a* . SpJMtaa a Remarkable J3«|» ̂ leatlaa la iteclaa*. 7 Oie of the most curious survival* (sit the custom of paying tolls exists at Oakham castle, in Rutlandshire. From very ancient times whenever a peer of the realm rides by the place he is re­ quired by the constable of the castle to contribute a horseshoe in lieu of a line. These are then hung upon the walls of a room in the cnstle, i# thought to have been formerly used as a chapel. The custom still obtains, though nowadays noblemen who pass through the town generally contribute shoes of some precious metal, richly decorated and bearing their coat-of- arms. Quite lately the earl of Onslow forwarded to J. E. Whitehouse, the con­ stable of Oakham castle, a new horse* •hoe, richly decorated, bearing the inj» acription: "William Hillier, Fourth Earl of Onslow." Another nobleman who was driving a> tendem through the town a short time ago was called upon for the customary When it arrived it was found t INSURANCE in First Class Companies, at the Low­ est rates.
