CHANGE IN COLOR OF EYES By No Means Uncommon, and Easily Accounted For, According to Surgeon. Tho possibility of a man's eyes Changing as tho result of mental shock or physical in treatment was the subject of an Interesting discus sion by a number of surgeons in tho eye ward of one of the great London hospitals. One of the surgeons stated: "It Is common knowledge that great phys ical hardships may suddenly turn tho hair white. The loss of color here follows on certain chemical changes, duo to disturbances of nutrition, tak ing place in the tiny particles of coloring matter which give the hair its color "All infants at birth have blue eyes. In some babies. Immediately after birth, pigment granules begin to develop In the Iris. Thus they be come brown or black eyed. In others, however, no such pigment formation takes place, and the eyes remain blue or gray throughout lifo. "If this at present blue eyed ex-con vict is really the missing brown eyed banker, a reasonahlo explana tion of the discrepancy In the eye colorings would be that under tho atress of physical and mental shock tho coloring matter which had In early life developed In each iris had atrophied or disappeared, leaving tho eyes tho original blue coloring pres ent at birth."

Of all the things that may befall a church, nothing could be much strang er than the destruction of a little house of worship north of Hudson Bay, as once reported by Bishop Williams of Marquette. He had attended a synod of th<-? Ca nadian church at Winnipeg, and th"ro had seen a missionary bishop, who had been six weeks on the way, hav ing come most of the distance In a canoe. The missionary bishop report ed gravely that the diocese of a broth er bishop had "gone to the dogs."

Tho little church held eighty persons; but In the time that elapsod between two services the building was eet upon by a pack of famished dogs, and demolished In a few hours.? Youth's Companion.
