Thomasville, Ga., April 3.—Thomasville and Thomas county are to get some of the good things of Uncle Sam’s postofflee organization. Thomasville, under the rules of the department, is now entitled to free delivery, and this system will doubtless be established here during the year. The wee tern part of the county south of Cairo is also to have a free rural delivery route. This will be one of the experiment al routes the postofflee authorities are trying in different parts of the Country. About 200 families will be served on this route. The work will be done by one car rier and it will require about nine hours for him to make his rounds. John Jackson, colored, was arrested here recently, on a charge of assault with in tent to murder a street car conductor in New York <*!ty in 1898. A detective has just returned to New York, carrying Jack son with him. It is alleged that while in a druriken condition ihe negro cut the con ductor severely for trying to eject him from the car. The Tifton, Thomasville and Gulf Rail way has decided to build Its depot on Dawson street, direc'tly east of the Piney Woods Hotel. WANT FREE FOR ILL PRIMARY.

Some time ago, when a certain gentleman, whose name was well known at the time, was kidnapped into the Chinese legation, an inspector from Scotland Yard immediate ly proceeded thither and released the prisoner. This was a most serious breach of international law, and was intently discussed “in diplomatic circles.” Since the Chinese legation is part and parcel of China, an invasion of the Celestial empire was thus made by a Scotland Yard official.

The correspondence on this subject which has lately appeared in your col umns does not appear to me fully to eluc idate the facts or conditions of the prob lem, which I should like to state from the point of view in which they present them selves to me. 1 will take the ordinary case of a young adult possessing two sound and equal eyes of good or “normal” vision, neither of which requires a glass or would be assisted by one; such a per son, in short, as would be eligible for a commission in the royal navy. The two eyes are globes which move more or less in unison with one another, and each moves by rotation about a fixed Amter. The movements are effected by the con traction of the muscles appropriate to each; and these muscles consist of six pairs attached to the outer tunics of the eye and inserted into the bones of the skull. The stimulus to movements is fur nished by the presence of an object of vision, toward which one or both eyes may be turned lor the purpose of seeing it clearly. A straight line drawn from the object of vision to the posterior pole, or center of the back, of the seeing eye is the •‘axis of vision” of that eye. As the cen ters of the eyes are about two and a half inches apart, it is manifest that the two axis of vision can never be coincident. They form the sides of an isosceles, tri angle. the apex of which is at the object of vision, while the base is formed by an imaginary line uniting the posterior poles of the two eyes. When the two eyes are directed .toward an infinitely distant ob ject, such as a fixed star, the apex of the triangle is infinitely distant, and Us sides, for all practical purposes, ace parallel. When the eyes ate directed toward a near object, suc'n as a spot on a piece of paper at a distance of twelve inches, the apex Of the triangle is on the spot, and its sides are decidedly convergent. The possible movements of the eyes are numerous and complicated, but it is sufficient for the present purpose to think only of those which ghange the dire Along of the axes of vision from parallelism to convergence, or vice versa. The parallelism may be re garded as a state of approximate rest or equilibrium; the convergence as a state of activity, called into existence for the sake of obtaining that “fusion” or combination, of the tw’o visual Images, by which our ideas of relief or solidity are formed, and by which our instinctive judgments with regard 10 the magnitude, the distance and the position of the object are mainly guided. In taking steady aim with a rifle at a fixed object the vision is of necessity mo nocular. The barrel of the rifle, with its two sigjits, must coincide accurately with the axis of vision of one eye, and can not by any possibility coincide with the axes of both, because they never coin cide with one another. Such aim may be taken from the right shoulder with the right eye, or may be taken with the left eye from the loft shoulder, or from th# right shoulder by means of a bent stock; but it cannot be taken with both eyes at once. The non-aiming eye may be open or shut, but the image which it receives should make no Impression upon the consciousness, and should take no share in the direction of the weapon. Firing from the right shoulder. In the or dinary way, it Is easy, whether the left eye be open or shut, to bring the two sights and the object into line—that is, to bring the barrel and its two sights into coincidence with the axis of vision of the. right eye. If the position be maintained unchanged, and the right eye closed, so that the image of the left is attended to, the sights will no longer appear to be in line, either with the object or with each other. They will appear to have deviated to the right of the object. From the right shoulder, with a straight stock, it w r ould be impossible to bring both sights into line with the left eye and the ob ject; and, if either of them were brought into line, and the rific fired, the projec tile would go far to the left of the point aimed at. For the many forms of shooting which do not require the shooter to “draw a bead” the combined use of both eyes is conducive to accuracy. A rabbit crossing a ridge, or a snipe before it begins twist ing, is more likely to be caught with both eyes than w r ith one. But the sportsman in these cases is not conscious of the sights of his gun or of their relation to the object. He throws the barrel into what he feels to be the right direction, and in doing this he is guide partly by vision of the object and partly by the endowment known as “muscular sense,” by which we are enabled to regulate the amount of force employed in accordance with the nature of the work that is to be done. We estimate weight, for example, by our muscular sense of the amount of effort which we exert in order to sustain the ponderous body, and if we attempt to lift something w’e commence by the em ployment of an amount of force such as we think will be sufficient <0 overcome the expected resistance. In like manner w’e estimate the precise position and dis tance of an object of vision mainly by our “muscular sense” of the effort exert ed by the eye muscles in so moving the eyes that the images presented to the two are blended or “fused.” This fusion doe© not occur spontaneously. If we look at the flame of a street lamp, say a hundred yards away, w’e begin with a mental con sciousness that there is only one lamp there, and, if w r e saw two close together, 1 we should immediately bring the eyes into the relative position necessary to combine the two images, so that the physical im pression might coincide with the mental knowledge. Many people w’ould at once form an al most unconscious estimate of the distance of the lamp, and by moderate practice such an estimate may be rendered very ac curate. But if w’e close one eye and place before the other a glass which entirely al ters the aspect of the flames, siy a plano rylindiical lens, which will give it the ap pearance of a long line of light, extending in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder and if we then open the oth er eye. the images received by the two eyes’ will be so dissimilar that the stimulus to any attempt to combine or fuse them, will be taken away, the spectator will be' reconciled to the spectacle of a Hr.© of light wih a lamp flame near bu-f n-4 quit*’ touching it. The apparent distance be tween the two aspects of th© flam* will differ in different people, and also will t>e more marked in some positions of the cyl inder (whether it be ver'icle or horizontal, for example), than in others; but perfect fusion of the two, in which the line would appear only as prolongation of the flam**, is by no means common. Practically spooking, in th© great majority of people, the eyes when at rest are not directed to the same point in space, and only become so directed as the result of a voluntary or instinctive effort, which is performed more slowly and w’ith more difficulty the greater the degree of the na naive devia tion, but which affords, by reason of our muscular sense of its amount, an Import ant aid to our instinctive or acquired pow er of Judging of distances and dimensions. Th© binocular shooter learns from the muscular sense of his eye mus les the pre cis© position of the object which he and has acquired, by attention to the mus cular sense of his arm muscles the power of rapidly bringing the barrel of a g. 11 into a direction corresponding with the position of the object. The “master eye” is an unfortunate ex pression, because it redly means the mor** promptly obedient of two servants. When the axes ore net both directed to the same point one of them must be misdirected and the difference between the two is in no way visual, but simply muscular. A person whose left i.- Ihe "master y ’ that is. a person who rapidly direc.s ihe left correctly, while the right is si ill a little out of line —has no difficulty at all in aiming with the right eye, assuming that he has time in which to bring it o bear upon the object. As for the “m Ate:* hand,” that is probably, as Benjamin Franklin pointed out more than a 1 entufy ago. mainly a result of vicious education. Any young adult who will take the trouble may acquire what is called ambldexhri'y by a very moderate amount of p notice. But, as Franklin said in his “Complaint of a Neglected Half-Brother,” the 14ft band is not only not taught o business, bu. U usually chidden if it attempts (o folio v one. P. Brunder.el! Carter.

Thls*subjcct will never be exhausted. The wonderful disclosures that resulted t hrough the earlier approaches to the p r feeti: g of the microscope were, of course so remarks! le and appealed so to the pop u ar imaginati n that he dis Icsur s mad to us by more recent instruments, on the same or equally remarkable material, do r.ot appeal equally to the ordinary mind. The subj ct, indeed, Is crowded with de tails, In the knowledge of which alone tlu maivels of what is disclosed can be fully grasped. It appears, therefore, somewhat futile to attempt thus briefly to bring into prominence the inevitable fascination of the subject, but experience proves that sugg stlons, catefully made and brief glimi ses wisely g.ven may incite to a tMrst for further knowledge. All we hrpe to do in this paper is to arouse an interest in minds that have hitherto been nega tive or indifferent to the existence of mln uto objects and to kindle pleasuie therein in the mind of the general reader. Little as it is realised, the remarkable and unimaglned !i< all around us. The mi croscope can unfold the wonderful to us in the garden, by the. hedgerow, upon the heath, on the surface and below the sur fuce of the commonest pond, along the shores, through the depths and on the floor of the sea; nay. even the dust and debris of our homes may be affluent of much that ran arouse our interest and wonder. Even the plumage of th© com monest bird, the decorations of the moth or butterfly, the adaptations of insects, largo or minute, and a thousand other things, all are capable of disclosing this unexpeetid through the optical agency of a w’ell-used miscroscope. One of the most fascinating results of the use of the microscope was the dis covery by Prof. Eherenberg that a certa n earth or rock in the Barbados was liter ally composed of minute and extrermdy beautiful "skeletons.” They w rc mostly composed of silica 01 flint, and their forms were of extreme variety and beauty. The earth or rock itself is quite chalk-like in appearance, and is fairly hard, so that it can be cut into shapely bars or masses. It was formed in the Miocene epoch, but so enormous is it that the Tertiary sys tem in the Barbados alone rises in one point to over 14.0C0 feet, and covers an area of 15 0)0 acres, and a go and p oportion of (his consists of these iema*kab'e rjeks They are simply composed of the minute ske’etons to which we l ave referred. Just as a heap of millet would be composed of the separate millet seeds. Of course bil lions are crushed, splintered, and pow dered; but the rocks are composed of the skeletons and their debris. This can easily’ be settled if we cut a slice off such a piece of rock anywhere and at any angle, arid grind it th n enough; then, by placing it under a micro scope in proper condition, it is found to be, as it were, a thin leaf of the rock, simply composed of these beautiful skeletons, some it may be. left whole or but slightly Injured, others broken, defaced, or crum bled. The same end is gained if we dis solve a small piece of the rock so as not to injure the skeleton©; it falls into a pow der of perfect or imperfect forms visible, so far as the detailed beamy of the r shape is concerned, only by mean© of the microscope. And this peculiar formation of rock is found not only in the Bar ados, but in the Nicobar Islands and th© Jura. That these remarkable ami beautiful skeletons were formed by animals there could from the first be little doubt but while the fossil skeletons astonished the world and delighted every observer. It was not until much later that Prof. Mul ler carefully studied the animals and es tablished the existence of a group known as the Racdiolaria, and these included the enormous quantity of minute fosei's dis covered by Eherenberg in the “Barbados Earth.” The animals themselves are usually ex tremely minute, and absolutely "simple” to all means at our disposal for research; that is to say they are unicellular—their whole body substance, with all its func tions, Is contained in a single cell. How these specks of living Jelly become the builders and constructors of beautiful skeletons or envelopes It deifies all ojr knowledge to explain; but we know that they or© developed or formed by vital se cretion in or through the gelatinous cell substance of the minute animal. Their shapes are manifold, but in every case they are rich in the most delicate an 1 refined beauty. Sometimes an invest lug lattice work' of glass-like appearance suffices, which may be spherical, oval or flash-shaped; again, the plates and fib' r of silica may be raldal, hexagonal, cruci form, or Innumerable, interchanges ard combinations of all these, but in all the utmost perfection of form is the result. While these were known only os fos- 11 forms discovered by microscope research, they aroused the keenest interest; but th-> discovery that they were to be found among th© extant fauna of th© wo Id quickened that interest. How important a® living things these minute creator s really are in regard to th© life found in th • great oceans was not made clearly m nl fest until the dredging operations of Her Majesty’s Ship Challenger showed us that tl se tiny organisms dwell on th * s irsace of the open sea, at various marine depths in several oceans, or else they are abys mal, living, that is to say. t the bottom of the sea. not resting on or attach-d 10 its floor, but floating some little distance above. , These minute animals multiply in great abundance; they are immensely prolific, and their individual lives are relatively short; the result is that from every “zone” of the ocean’s depths there must be a continual rain of tiny creatures whose lives ar© spent, failing slowly down to the ocean floor, where at length their flinty skeletons alone survive decomposi tion accumulate in countless millions, and slowly reneat the siliceous rock produc tion of which we have’such conspicuous instances in the geology of the Barbados and the Nicobar islands. It will be enough, then, if we illustrate what extreme refinement and beauty many of these minute skeletons renlly have, making our selection rather from # extant forms than from the fossil skeletons ?<> prolifically discovered by Eherenberg. To him they were known as polycistina, and that name was long retained for the beau tiful forms. He enumerated thirty-one species, all being fossil forms, of a genus known as podocyrtis, meaning "a basket with feet.” It has been found that.many of these arc still extant in the Pacific rti diolarian ooze, and many new forms have been discovered. One of these was taken in th. living state, but the skeletons was alone preserved. The beauty of this form is quite manifest when magnified 250,000 times.

He has two trunks ihat he says are about as secure as any hotel safe In the country, and for that reason he keeps tils valuables In his room Instead of placing them 4u the hotel safes where he mopes. The trunks are solid-looking affairs of steel, and there are more locks on them than would be on a dozen ordinary trunks. His wife travels with the owner of the valuables, and either the wife or husband Is In the room with the trunks all the time, dny and night. In conversation the other evening ho said that he thought he had been on the road longer and traveled further than any other diamond salesman wlrhout being robbed. The only time he feels uneasi ness about hi* two trunkfuls of dlapiond* and Jewelry In between the rnltway sta tions and hotels. He always hires a spe cial wagon to convey the trunks, and fol lows In u cab close enough so 4hnt he always has hls eye on the valuables. 7
