The -Mercer Athletic Association Is

some c ty teams in Georgia and else-

game to be played shall take place on

Auotlior proposition is before tho
(Mercer Athletic Association for a game
for another Atlanta cloven, au,l this
they propose to accept. Savannah also
wants a game and will no doubt be ac

CITY NOTES.
A CANINE THIEF.—For some tlmo
pant a lady living on Orange street has
been complaining that every morning
Borne one would stenl the milk from a
pitcher which she left on the front porch
for the milkman to put milk In every
morning before the family w*as awake.
That the milkman put the milk In the
pitcher was plainly evident from the milk
stains on the pitcher, end ahe was not
only worried but curloua to know who It
was that would steal the milk and leave
the pitcher. After she ha<> lost her milk
every morning for about two weeks In
■iftcesBlon she decided to watch nnd was
finally rewarded by seeing her pet poodle,
who had been Jn the habit of staying
out at night, coolly lapping the milk.
Anybody wanting a, nice little poodle
with whiskers and a fondness fer milk
can get It by calling and paying for two
gallons of milk.

INSECT VISION.
FALSE HAIR.
Tho Probabilities as .to What They Can
See With Their Strang© Eyes.
Two theories of im>oct vision are oxtant
—tho older ono that oach,lcns forma a
separata oyo, and tho more recent ono that
insects ecu as In n mosaic, each lens form
ing part of tbo total picture. Tho old view
is snpported by tho experiment of placing
a thin sltcoof an oyo under thomloroscopo,
when the Imago of any object reflected
from tho mirror Is scon to bo transmitted
through each of tho hexagonal lenses. A
rough model of an lnscot’s oyo may bo
made by taking a glass shade of tho form
of a half sphere, say about lGlnches in di
ameter. Placo the eye at tbo center of the
globo and paint on its surface tbo plcturo
of tho outer world as seen through it. If
this painting ho divided Into squares by
lines scratched at Intervals of ono eighth
Inch, there will ho SB, GOO of thorn, and tho
proportions are roughly tboso found In the
oyo of a dragon Uy.
If now, Instead of tbo details of tho plc
turo on each square, n dab of color ho
placed on It corresponding to tho gcmu-al
tone, tho effect of tho whole wlU pretty
nearly agree with that of tho original
paintin',-. It Is probably this indistinct
vision that insects actually possess. Math
ematically It may bo shown that to ob
tain anything like such perfect vision as
human beings enjoy on oyo constructed on
tho compound typo would bnvo to bo of
most Impracticable size. In our oyes the
rays of light passing through a single lens
form an Imago on tho concave retina. The
retina Is built up of tbo sensitive termina
tions of tho optlo nerve, forming a kind of
tessellated pavement with 36,000,000
squares to the square inch. If our lcn3
were of perfect shape nnd tho pupil wide
enough, the size of things which might bo
soon as distinct objects would be limited
by the distance of tho nerTO endings of the
retina from one another. In order that
two points may appear separate to tho eye,
they must subtend an anglo of about ouo
minute of arc—that is, for instance, that
fine lines ruled one-lwentleth of an inch
apart can he made out to be separata at a
distance of four yards. Beyond this tho
wholo surface has a uniform gray tint.
Calculations clearly show that insects
cannot see nearly os well as this, and their
behavior to distant objects favors tbls
opinion. But tholr eyes hove this advan
tage—namely, that there Is practically no
limit to tho nearness of objects they can
examine. Tho dotulls of their own an-
tonnio probably appear plainer to them
selves than to ur, but objects at tho dis
tance of a foot appear to them with Bbout
the sumo minuteness of detail ns would
he attained If they wore mado of rather
ccarso wool work. Beyond tbls the shades
of light and dark are evident to them, but
outlines must bo blurred and lost.—North
British Advertiser.
Women In Italy.
In Italy, writes n correspondent, we
hnvo seen women not only working In tho
fields, but carrying bricks and stone and
mortar up ladders for tho construction of
buildings. On tho railroad from Brindisi
to Naples, In southern Italy, where a tun
nel was being repaired, we saw some 40
girls carrying on their beads bushel bas
kets of mortar and stone from a valley on
ono sldo of tho track up a steep stairway
above tho tunnol on tho other side. Tho
baskets were filled by mon and lifted upon
tho heads of tho girls, who thus bad by
for the heavier task of carrying the loads
up an ascent of 60 feet. Their feet and
arms were bare, their faces brown, but
they looked cheerful, at least those did
who paused In tholr work to stare at tho
passing train. Near Pacstum “gangs of
women were at field work, with a man to
oversoo them, cracking a long hunting
whip.”
At Amalfi wo saw old womon carrying
on their backs loads of wood up tho long,
rocky stairways leading to the Cappucclnl
Monastery hotel. Tho wood was 4 feet
long, and to all appearances there was
nearly a quarter of a cord on each wom
an’s back. In several places in southern
Italy wo witnessed this almost brutal
6cono of womon bent and daggering be*
noath loads of wood which they wore car
rying up the hills. Tho first feeling uno
has on seeing women thus employed Is ct
resentment against some ono who has
farced them to It, but evidently the rough
out of door toll Is voluntarily assumed, or
at least accepted as Inevitable.
Infialteftlmal Doses of Medicine,
A few years ago Dr. Holmes was asked
U bo knew anything of an alleged experi
ment before tbo French Academy of Medi
cine demonstrating that tbs ten Millionth
pari ol a drop of scptlcsemto i&lson would
destroy the life of a guinea pig, It having
been publicly argued In Boston that this
proved tbs potency of Infinitesimal doses
of medicine. Dr. Holmes added in a post
script to bis note of reply, "The argument
from tho effect of animal poisons In small
quantities to medicinal substance* In gen
eral la like (eying that because a spark
will burn down a city a mutton chop will
feed an army.’’—Boston Tr.».-jjpt.
Where It Comes From aud the Prices
Which It Command—-
Probably few womon who wear false
hair stop to think wkero tho hair that sup
plements thoir own tresses comes from.
Tho fact is that tho wholo of Europe oou-
tributes to the supply. Tho Commonest
hair is black hair, aud tbat conies mainly
from Italy. France furnishes principally
brown shades, nnd from Switzerland is
obtained blond and what tho trado calls
drabby shades of hair.
The most expensive balr Is white, grey
coming next In rarity nnd price. AU
countries Bupply gray hair, though, of
course, In very limited quantities. Tbo
high price of gray and whlto huir, some
times reaching 312 and 31G an ounce, Is
duo partly to tho scarcity there Is of ony
length over tbreoor four inches and partly
to tho roluctnneo ol the owners to part
with It. They presumably realize that,
onco parted with, they will never get an
other supply, whorens a girl will grow hor
hair again In a year. In Switzerland,
where for somo reason the hair grows very
fast, young girls frequently sell their hair
twice a year.
Tho heads of living beings do not con
stitute tho solo source of supply for tho
huir market. A considerable amount of
bnir U cut from dead bodies, aud It is im
possible for oven tbo trailo to tell hair
which has been furnished by a living bead
from that taken lium a corpse. Tho samo
shades of balr are all mixed up together,
regardless whether thoy cornu from a dead
or a living body.
Tho prico of lmlr is regulated by length,
color and quality. Black Is tho commonest
shade, brotvn next, then blond, and rarest
of all gray and white. Tho length varlos
from six inches to 60 inches, the last being
an unusual length and bringing a propor
tionately high prico. Tho last thing taken
into account is tho quality of tho hair,
which varies from tbo texture of horsehair
to that of silk.—Now York World.
She Hod a Long Memory.
A Lewiston lady, in speaking about
punishments in sebool, relates an Incident
in her own caso. When a girl of 16 years,
sho attended school In her native town.
Some trouble aroso that called In question
tho veracity of either herself or another
girl. Tbo teacher insisted that she was
the, offender. She insisted that she was
not The alternative was offered hor to
rccclvo punishment or leavo tho Bohool.
She took the latter alternative. Tho teach
er remained four years, and she did not
return, and her school days virtually ter
minated at that tlmo.
Twenty years later the teacher and his
alleged offondlng pupil met ono day. He
recognized her and extended bis hand. She *
refrained from tuking It. The act might
have seemed unladylike, but it was just In
this case. Tho man was not offended, for
ho knew the treatment was deserved, and
be had tlio manliness there and then to
acknowledge a wrong of 20 years previous.
He had learned that tho ether pupil had
uttered the falsehood, and tho girl who
had been compelled to leavo tho school was
wholly Innocent of tho charge. This
knowledge canto to him a short tlmo after
the occurrenoo, and It had weighed upon
his mind, causing him many ruproaohes
of conscience. ORon he had wished to re
pair the wrong, but u lock of opportunity
hod prevented. His expressions of sincere
regret led to prompt forgiveness.—Lewis

Black rcarlt.
Black pearls used to bo held as of small
value, comparatively spooking. At tho
present day a perfect black specimen com
mands amuoh higher prloethan tho finest
pink or whlto pearls. They were first
made fashionable by tho Empress Eugenio,
wlfo of Napoleon III, who possessed a fa
mous nccklaco of them which fetched JC4,-
000 at an auction after tbo overthrow of
the Imperial dynasty. Tbls did not In
clude the slnglo great pearl forming tho
snap, which woa purchased by tho Mar-
quia of Bute for £1,000. Mexico, Tahiti,
FIJI aud the kingdom of Madura, to the
east af Malabar, supply tbo marketsof the
world with tho best black pearls.
Ono of tho most curious pearls from
many points of view was that which tho
traveler Tavernier sold to tho ruler of Per
sia 200 years ago for £100,000. It la still
In tho possession of the shah of Persia and
Is now supposed to bo worth nt least £185,-
000. Tbo Persian monarch has a square
glare caso among his bizarre collection of
jewelry containing a vast heap of mo6t
magnificent pearls, four or five Inches
deep, into which ono can plunge tho hand
and spill them In cascades and handfuls.
