SUNsrRaKE.-We clip the following which is
said to be specific against sunstroke, and m ay
he valuable to those who compelled to be ex-
posed to the sun rays:
about year since, saw in a newspaper an
account of case Of sunstroke, written by the
party himself. After suffering long time from
the attack, and having to considerable degree
recovered, he experienced suffering even from the
rays of the moon. This led him 10 the reflection
that it was not altogether the heat Of the sun
chat produced prostration. After much research
he discovered that the injury came from the heat
ray. He was guided to this by observing the
fact that q photograph could not be taken
through yellow glass: Accordingly, he lined
his hat with two liniugs-one of orange yellow
to arrest the cheulica. ray, and one of green tc
arrest the heat ray. Thus prepared he wen1
where the rays of the SUI were most intense witt
perfect impunity. 1t is well knowB that the ne
gro is seldom or never sunstruck. The color o
his skin over the skull being of the orange yel
Tow may. assist in accounting for the fact.
praeticed upon this suggestion last summer
lined ay hat with green and orange yellow pa
ger, and had confidence enough in the truth o
tke theory to neglect my umbrella, which had
never done before mentioned it to many, who
tried IL alse and in all cases that came undel
my observation they uniformly asserted that the
oppressive heat of the sun upon the head was
much relieved
