What actual disability Is Invnjved" in the loss of one eye? Accident In surance companies usually estimate Ifcat 50 per cent, lilt t sit Arthur ivac son told the British pommll.tee on the administration of soldiers' and sailors' pensions that this whs absolutely ab surd, and suggested 25 per cent as a more reasonable estimate. It depends Hugely upon the time of life ?Vt which the eye Is lost. Hy binocular vision, says the Lancet, we fuse two slightly dissimilar Images of an object, which are foctissed upon the it wo retinas, and thfs enables us ?to estimate correctly the relative po sition or distance of objects. This power, however. Is not confined to those of us who possess two good Cyes. The man who has been blind in one eye from infancy possesses it In almost equal perfection with the pos sessor of two eyes. For many other factors unite to compensate for the absence of stereoscopic vision. These are atmospheric and shadow effects, parallax and. above all. memory of what the shape of objects really is. according to knowledge which has been acquired In eiirly years, largely hy the sense of touch. On the other hand. If one who pos sesses this faculty b: suddenly deprived of It he will be considerably handi capped, especially at first. A woman may find she cannot pour from a tea pot Into a cup without spilling the tea.

Somebody Interested In antiquities has asked In print whether soapstone stoves are now purchasable, and al though the question will puzzle most of those who read It even to know what such a stove looks like, It will remind others, of an older generation, that the soapstone stove has not so very long vanished. People used such stoves, and burnt wood In thein, no longer ago than the time when man sard roofs were admired; and as some mansard roofs still remain In Amer lean cities so, doubtless, do some soapstone stoves. Most of them, how ever. are gone, like the earlier cast iron stoves that had neither door noi stove pipe, but backed up against a fireplace In the next room and both took In fuel and sent out smoke through a hole Into the fireplace. In fact. It would take a sizable book tc describe and picture the family tree of the modern kitchen stove and base ment furnace. ? Christian Science Mon itor. t New Heat-Resisting Stone. The heat-resisting building stone of Charles Ingvaldsen. a Norwegian, In made by mixing ground mica with Just enough clay or like binder to form a coherent mass. The mixture may be shaped Into blocks, plates or other forms of any size, and Is fired at a temperature Just high enough to fuse thn mica.- The stone has essentially the same properties as natural mica. For withstanding very high tempera tures. equal parts of mica and quartz arc used with the binder, and this mixture is fired at a heat sufficient to fuse the quartz. This stone is claimed to b<> not only a very refractory and durable material but to offer other de sirable qualities, such as effective elec tric Insulation. Violent Deaths in India.

Comparatively. *few of this generation know of, or even, heard of,' Hill's Iron Works, which played a conspicious part in the War of the Revolution, certain ly so far as the war in the Carolines was concerned. The old iron works stood on Allison Creek about eight iniles northeast of the town of York,, within a short dia tance of Nancy'* Mountain. Here were made small ilnnou, camion balls and various articles of value for the use of the American patriots. The iron works were largely owned by Col. William Hill, a brave Revolu tionary soldier of York county. The plant was destroyed in June, 1780,, by a party of British and Tories, mostly Tories, sent by the British com?nander at Rooky Mount, under command of Ca/pt. Christian HouCk, who was killed in the battle at Williamston's on the 12th of July following. It was Hill's Iron Work? to which the' old pastor of Bethel Ohurch in York county, referred to when just be fore the battle of King's Mountain he prayed : 4'Oh Ix>rd ! if Thou hadat not allowed the winked Tories to destroy Heljy Hell's iron works we would have hud to ask few more favors at Thy hands." \ A mail said the other d ?,v that t h??
