Photographing the Eye and Ear.

That the interior of the human eye
has been photographed is well known /;
though the experiment is somewhat
cruel one for living subject, still there
are victims who endure it. An instance
of this kind is given by DIR. Vogel-that
of very handsome young lady (whoae
brother is a physician), who patiently
takes extract of belladonna until the
pupil has become sufficiently large; the
interior of the eye is then illuminated
with magnesium light photographed.
In similar manner has the ear been
photographed-that is to say, the
tymPanhm only. A tube is inserted, in
which is mirror, inclined at a certain
angle. The mirror throws light into the
interior of the ear, and is also provided
W tn central hole, through which the
illuminated tympanum can beinspected.
A system of lenses projects an image on
the sensitive plate, and the picture is
made in the ordinary manner.

Blood as Diet.

Attention having been drawn by Prof.
Panum, of the University of Copen-
hagen, to the amount of nutritious mat
ter contained in blood and usually en-
tirely lost, DR.. Nielsen of that city has
been endeayoring to solve the problem
of fixing blood in forms suitable for
food, and at the same time capable of
preservation, namely: First, as sausages,
puddings, and cakes-being mixed with
fat, meal, sugar, salt, and few sp ces-
to serve as a much cheaper compensa-
ton or substitute for meat, and intended
more especially for the use of the poorer
classes and, second, as blood chocolate,
more especially suitable to be used in
hospitals, as well as otherwise in medi-
cal practice, in which latter form it has
been recommended by Prof. Panum, at
meeting of physicians at Copenhagen,
and is now being employed in some OF
the hospitals of that city.

itself in an intense hatred of study, es-

for the outer man during the fatiguing

Tommy Spratt left his home with no
other intention than that of going
straight to school; but Tommy Spratt
was mortal, and one hot, dusty lane led
to the schoolroom, where grimy slate
and scrapy pencil awaited him, while
the other meandered through green
fields, he did not even hesitate, but
turned at once into the shady paths of
temptation.
He cast himself on the grass and pre-

belt, which, fastened by brazen buckle
in the shape of an uncoiled dragon,

to the laws of gravity, or whether the
air-ball was endowed with supernatural

A Good Word for the Country Pub.
Usher.

Mr.. Josiah A. Noonan, a wellknown
paper manufacturer of Milwaukee, has
recently gone into voluntary bank
ruptcy. In answer to a friendly refer
ence in Milwaukee paper to his mis-
fortune, Mr.. n. has published a card
explanatory of his affairs, in which he
utters some very wholesome truths.
Among the consequences of his bank
ruptcy he regrets the temporary inter-
the publishers of Wisconsin, Northern
Iowa, Minnesota, and Western Michi-
gan, with whom he has had constant re-
lations for twenty-five years. In his
business with them, mostly on credit,
and amounting to millions of dollars,
and extending over nearly quarter of
a century, he states his entire loss by
bad debts was less than $4,000. He
questions whether like showing could
be made of the same amount of dealing
with men in any other business or pro
fession. Upon this point he says:
81 have many times felt my blood
stir faster when l have presented the
note of a customer publisher to bank
to be cashed-outside of my place of
business-to have some pinched-up
squirt of teller, cashier or President
look up with that peculiarly sinister
and supercilious smirk, known only to
those of that calling, and inquire, Is
the maker of that paper an editor ?''
When told he was. then to hear him
say, "We don't like those country

paid" The poor devil, in all probable
