A prominent property owner, in speaking of the scheme, said: "I understand that these. lots are held at not less than $2,500 each, and the corner lots are held at double that. There are 141 in the three blocks, and the total cost would not be less than $400,000. The lots are sunken below the street level, and it would cost 5100,000 to fill them in and get them in any sort of condition for a public park. "I look upon the proposed expenditure of $500,000 for a park in that locality as a waste and misuse of public funds.

If such a park were needed surely one block would answer every purpose. "The people of Long Island City arc much more concerned in the speedy purchase of Crimins Park at upper Astoria, with three-fourths of a mile on the East River front, and the extension of a car lino from Fulton street, Astoria, to that point would bring it within fifteen minutes of any part of Long Island City for a 5-eont fare. "Moreover the same amount expended in the improvement of the ordinary dirt roads of the city and the extension of water mains and street lighting would create a larger and finer residence district which would do away with the necessity of small parks, except on the water front, for many years to come." The whole matter now lies in the hands of Controller Herman A. Metz, who is empowered by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to make valid a resolution to purchase the property, providing the Controller after examination, deemed the price right.

Besults ot Recent Investigations by a British Scientist.

For some years past the eminent British opthalmologlst. Dr. Lindsay Johnson, has been the eyes of animals, and has made some valuable discoveries of great interest to zoology and our knowledge of the evolution 'of various auimals. One of the most remarkable of these researches, says the Scientific American, is a confirmation of Darwin's theory that man is closely related to the primates. From his investigations Dr.

Johnson has found that the eves of oil the apes, including man, are practically identical. Each has the highly complex system of veins and arteries, and the direct or parallel vision. According to this authority, the dog has two ancestors, one round-eyed and the oval-eyed. The first Is the hyena and the latter the bear through the raccoon. All animals exposed to chase by enemies, such as the bare, rabbit and squirrel, can see all around, and all the rodeudla squint.

The lower an animal In the scale, the further Is its eye from the parallel of vision. According to this authority, also, the corpus niger, or black body of pigment, in the eye of the horse, which has proved such a source of speculation to the naturalist, veterinarians nnd zoologists, reveals through the ophthamaloscope a new means of tracing the ancestry and relationship of the horse. The eve curtain Is precisely the same as that which Is found In all tropical animals, such as the onega, camel, antelope, and fulfills one important function the protection of the eye from sunlight. One result of Dr. Johnson's researches will necessitate a reclassification In one section of zoology.

Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington. April 14 Dr. William A. TVhlte, the former Brooklyn man.

who is superintendent of the Government Hospital for the Insane in this city, to-day made a partial reply to the charges against him that were filed on Thursday with the house committee on rules, the Medico-Legal Society of Washington. In these charges It is declared that patients at' the hospital are treated brutally, and that the institution is badly managed generally. Dr. White admits that perhaps there have been instances of abusive treatment of patients by attendants, but asserts that in every case of this sort brought to bis attention he has punished the attendant to the full extent of the law. Dr.

White said: "I wish to say that in the control of 2,600 insane patients and 500 employes there is sure to be an occasional case of abuse of a patient. All the men we employ do not wear wings. I defy anybody to cite a cose of such abuse brought to my attention that was not summarily dealt with. Many men have been discharged and In some instances I have prosecuted the attendants in the courts. I FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE Illumination of the Cross.

The service known as the three hours agony of Jesus was celebrated in a unique but beautiful and impressive manner at the Church of the Sacred Heart, Clermont and Park avenues, Friday, a notable feature of the exercises being on electrical display of A representation of the holy sepulcher and Jesus on the cross. Nearly a hundred eleclric bulbs were used In the display. About two dozen of theso Illuminated the holy sepulcher. which stood In the center of the sanctuary, the lights being hidden by a purple cloth, which covered the form of Jesus. On the Eplsllo side of the sanctuary, at the altar rail, stood a crucifix, 28 feet high, that was Illuminated by sixty-flve small electric bulbs, and on which hung a life size form of the dead Redeemer.

Another matter that causes great distress in the reporting of abuses of patients at the institution is the light in which the physicians are placed by these reports, as viewed by the patients. If we would hav helpful Influence on our patients we must retain their confidence.

Great numbers of them believe themselves mistreated, and when they hear of outsiders urging a similar theory, their imagined wronga are Intensified.
