A German paper states some curious
facts relating to the position of win
dows in horse stables, and their power
to affect the eyes of horses. In one in
stance the horses of farmer-fine an
imals, celebrated for their excellent
condition-were kept in stable lighted
only by a small window ut one side.
When light was needed for work, the
door was temporarily left open; the
result was that nearly all of the ami
mails had eyes of unequal strength,
and in time number of them became
blind on the side toward the window.
Strong light directed in the horses
faces, has been found to weaken
the sight. The worst position of all
for stable window is in front OF
the horses and much higher than
their heads. An officer had brought a
