OLD JEWISH TRADITION.
The Way the lararlitea of Old Loat
Their Third Eye.
The Jews of eastern Palestine and
Asia Minor have a queer tradition
which has survived from ancient times
and tells of a remote period hi their
history when every fully devolped Is
raelite was equipped with three perfect
eyes, 'l'he two main optics were situ
ated In the front part of the bead. Just
as eyes are today, but the third was
located In the bade part of the head
.iust above the nape of the neck In the
I edge of the hair. This wonderful third
I eye In man was not "evoluted" out of
I existence, but was closed by divine In
junction on the day when Moses was
Siven the tables of stone on SInal.
You remember that God's command
on the day that the table* were renew
ed was to the effect that no man should
*ie seen In the vicinity of the holy
mount. (See Ex. xxxlr, 3.) The be
lievers In the three eye tradition say
chat Moses supplemented God's com
mand by ordering the faithful who
were encamped In the valley to turn
ihclr heads from the mountain. This
they did. but took good care to uncover
the eye that was situated In the back
of the head. Moses, noticing this show
of duplicity on the part of his follow
its, asked God to close the third, or rear,
eye. and since that day the Israelites
In common with the remainder of hu
manity, have been forced to depend on
two eyes only.
A WONDERFUL MONSTER.
Drncrlption of n New Rnttlc.Mlilp In
the Seventeenth Century.
Is It true that our ram battleships are
but okl Inventions in new forms? It
looks like it. Some one has unearthed
a curious announcement which ap
peared in the Mercurlus l'oiiticus for
Dec. 0, likll!, to the effect, as stated by
the Dundee Advertiser, that "the fa
mous monster called a ship built at
Rotterdam by a French engineer Is
now launched." Iu a description of tho
vessel iis capabilities are thus detailed;
"(It To sail by means of certain In
struments and wheels (without masts
ami sails* as swift as the moon or at
least thirty miles every hour. (2) lioth
ends are made alike, and the ship can
be stopped at pleasure and turned as
easily as a bird can turn. (3i In time
of war it can with one bounce make a
hole under water in the greatest man
of-war as big as a table and In an
hour's time will be able to sink fifteen,
or sixteen ships and in three or four
hours will destroy a whole fleet. (-1)
She will be able to go to the East
Indies and l>a?k again in eight or uiue
weeks. (.".> She may lie used to kill
whales in Greenland, so that a hun
dred ships may be laden In fourteen
days. (C) She may be used to break
down any pier or wooden work with
great ease."

?Washington Post
Sea Grpalei.
In the archipelago of Mergul, off the
coast of lower Burma, Asia, live the
"sea gypsies." Instead of carts they
own covered boats, in which, with their
families, dogs, cats, chickens and pets,
they float about on the sea and wander
from Island to Island. By day they fish
or harpoon turtles or dive for oysters,
but every night they put back to the
shore. If the weather Is bad at sea
they land with their dogs and then
poach,' catching porcupines, squirrels,
armadilloes, hog deer and the like, of
which they make savory stews, like our
gypsies.

Probably no two artists ever criti

did Fusell and Northeote, yet they re

his ass. "How do you like it?" asked
Northeote after a long silence. "N'orth
