Peculiar Optical Effecta. If one places a pinhead up close to the eye and directly iu front of it the head of the pin appears transparent and things may be seen as easily through it as through a sheet of isinglass, the bead appearing simply as a large round cloud, if it is placed somewhat closer no pin or head can be seen at all. If one goes into a very dark room and puts a lighted candle near the side of one eye very pretty and peculiar effects are observed. A tracery, forming a regular network, can be easily detected, and this Is merely the shadow thrown by the candle on the retina of the eye of the small capillary blood vessels between the retina and the candle. If one looks to the side of a dim star in the heavens the star appears a great deal brighter than direct vision makes it appear. This is because the light In the indirect view falls on what is known as the “yellow spot” or point of keenest vision. As this is not put directly behind the front of the eye the side glance Is necessary. Some people can see stars that way that they cannot perceive at all on direct vision.— Pittsburg Dispatch. Egyptian Embalming. The modern embalmer is still ignorant of the secret that was so well known to the men of ancient Egypt. The process followed by tbe Egyptian embalmers is known only in part, the main part being still a mystery. As to the cost of becoming a mummy, Herodotus and Diodorus tell of three modes of embalming prevalent in Egypt, the first very costly, answering to about $2,000 of our money, tbe second S6O and the third within the reach of alL—New York American. A Vegetable Cameo. Spain is tbe land of tbe onion, a fact which tempted Mr. Shaw, the author of “Spain of Today,” to fall into the appended easy verse. All returned travelers are sure to appreciate it for its feeling for truth rather than Us resemblance to the form of “The Ancient Mariner:” Garlic, garlic everywhere Except In what you drink.
