not been for the Daughters of Re-

Orphan Asylum established, although
other ladies had taken an active part
in assisting and building up that K

good results from the establishment
of this Lodge.
The Lodge then closed, to meet

"TnE BLIND SPoT."-How many
of our readers know that there is, in
the eye of every person. a spot which
is absolutely blind, and which is
known as the " blind spot We
copy the following in regard to the
matter from an exchange:
To illustrate this curious fact, We
have provided on one side of the col
umn a black dot, and on the other a
cross.
1T
Close the left eye and look steadily
with the right at the cross on the pa
per, held d foot distant from you.
Now move the paper slowly toward
the eye, which must be kept steadily
fixed on the cross; at a certain point
the dot will disappear, but as the pa
per is brought still closer it will be
brought TO view again. It results
from optical principles. How many
of the pupils aud students in our pub
lie schools can explain it?
