When a .apart is totally blinded he usually lets it go at that; but if one aye be lost he gets an artificial one, to nevoid disfigurement. We in this country do note know liow to make artificial eyes. It is really a fine art, and may be said to represent the highest development of 11:e glassblowers' skill. The beginning of an artificial. eye is a small glass tube with a bulb in the middle. One end is cut off,. and the opening sealed -lith the blowpipe, leaving a hollow bulb on the end of a lube, .* The workman, of course, cars enlarge the bulb as he pleases by blowing into the tube. '.Phis he does gradually and as `- intervals, while:applying melted glass/of , different colors to the ex- ta'emity of the bulb. First he puts on a circular. spot of blue or brown for the itis, and in the centre adds a black dot for the" pupil. By artistic manipulation he `counter- 1 feits the delicate effects of coloration observed "in :the halums eye. The process cannot be more definite- ly described because it.is art work, and t not merely a mechanical performance, 1 A special glass is added to Imitate the peculiar whitish opacity of the white part of the eye; and even the little red i 'en Light lartlling ldvegi Cavaliers of Old.

The Turks, not knowing we were so near,; remained tinder cover, and we reached the edge of the miniature val- ley without being seen. We • surprised them. Not a horse hesitated. We took the flying leap straight down among the surprised Turks and, began our work. Half a. hundred of the enemy lay dead when the remainder took to their heels and fled. We gave chase until we lost touch with the remainder of our force and decided to remain in the open for a time until we got or- ders through'headquarters. Accord- ngly, a `scout went; back to carry in- formation, as to the location of the troop. It was quickly brought- to our vo- ice that another force of" Turks with nachine guns was stationed in ` a com- manding position near by...

Some interesting observations on ` v the movements of birds at `great heights have be' n made by French aviators. - It has been now establish- ed, according to Henry Wood:the United Press correspondent with the i French armies, that swallows in flying maintain an average. altitude of 700 yards. Wild ducks, on the other hand, prefer a greater' height, and stick to an altitude of 1,800 yards: Green plover maintain at all times an even greater altitude, and in March,. dur- ing their period of migration, the, French aviators have met them at all height of 2,150 yards. Wild ducks in' flight are particularly interesting. Every one knows that these birds al- ways fly in single file behind their i Iealers, but it is now proved that the wild ducks execute every movement ;t with a wonderjful simultaneous and de- gree of precision. ' 171, for; example, the leading duck at the head of the file changes the position of a' wing :in or- der r der. -to fly either higher or lower, all. of the others make the same `move- from, xne'a t, appy eptly; at the same moment.
