Currents in the Living Eye.

The existence of a continuous, though
sluggish, current in the eye, flowing
from behind forwards, has been demon
strated by DIR. Max Knies. The follow
ing was the method of investigation pur
sued: A minute quantity of a solution
of potassic ferrocyanide was introduced
into the posterior part of the vitreous
humor After the lapse of from one to
four hours the animal was decapitated,
and the eyeball soaked in a solution of
ferric chloride it was then hardened in
alcohol, and subjected to microscopic ex-
animation. The distribution of the pre-
cipitate of Prussian blue furnished evil
dence of the displacement of the par
ticles of ferrocyanide during life, and
betrayed the paths along which it had
travelled. The current mentioned above
was found to exist in the interior of the
lens as well as in the vitreous, the fluid
required to nourish the former percolat-
ing through the latter, and thus follow
ing the same course as the blood in the
hyaloid artery of the fetus. The aque-
Gus humor consists partly of transuda-
tion from the ciliary body, partly of
liquid which has made its way through
the lens and vitreous. 1t serves to nour-
ish the cornea. The nutrient fluid,
whether in the vitreous, in the lens, OF
in the cornea, is conveyed along the in
tercellular substance and the author is
inclined to extend this proposition to
all the tissues of the body, regarding the
interstital substance everywhere as the
channel along which the nutrient Juices
are conveyed TO the corpuscular-elements
of parenchyma or connective tissue.

India Cotton Maunfactures.

The New York Bulletin, in recent ed
itorial on India Cotton Manufactures
makes this statement and argument
I'm 1901 there were eleven cotton
mills in India; in 1874-7 the number
had been increased to forty one. Even
within the short period from July, 1874,
to November, 1874. the capital invested
in factories had risen from 22,OS5,0OO
rupees to 3S,685, $50 rupees. Evidently,
the fact that alarms Manchester is that
the manufacture of cotton goods in India
is found very profitable; which argues
its continued extension. The India mill
has every disadvantage in respect to
cost, interest and fuel. a factory built
there, say with 60,O20 spindles and 1OO,-
600 looms. would cost goo, 900; in Eng
land the same would cost 100000 II
is estimated that the India mill would
have eI2, 500 more interest and deprecia-
tion charge, and that its fuel would cost
fS. 500 more, than would one of the same
capacity in Lancashire; making total
disadvantage of e21 coo. But it, is adj
mitted that the India mill saves e45,000
on the double transit of material and
product, as compared with Manchester
showing balance in favor of the India
factory of e24 900. Estimating the value
of the product at G300, 600, this shows
an advantage of per cent. i'll favor OF
the India made goods. This G25 GOO,
however, is not all the Manchester trade
has to overcome. The import duty of 3
per CEN represents another 9l5,0 ,000 added
TO the cost of the e300,000 product OF
the mill which augments the advantage
in favor of the India mill to G39, 600, or
I3 per cent of the value of the goods
These estimates relate entirely to a mill
making coarse goods, and do not apply
TO finer makes. in which India has not
vet demonstrated its ability to compete
with Manchester, and perhaps is not
likely to do for some time.
The foregoing figures are based on
Manchester estimates; and the mistor-
tune for Manchester is that they prove
too much for its case. They show that
the recovery of this lost trade is hopeless,
with or without the duty. India mas
every chance i'm its favor for improving
its products and reducing their cost 80
that whatever Manchester may do toward
cheapening its goods is likely to be set of
bv further economies in the India manu-
facture. On the face OF these facts, it
appears as though Manchester must re-
gard its trade with India in coarse cotton
goods as gone; and the only question is
what chance has India of ultimately in
trenching On other branches of England's
cotton trade? This is question that
has a partial significance to American
manufacturers. Before the war. we were
accustomed to export to India consider
able quantities of the class of goods in
which India is now beating England
clearly, under changed circumstances,
our hope of regaining that market is
slight. Moreover, there is this question
with her superior cheapness,
India may not ultimately compete with
England and ourselves in some of the
other Asiactic markets which consume
largely OF heavy cotton fabrics The
problem is an interesting one, and its so
luton will bear watching.

Mr.. Anthony Trollope delivered an
address on the Art of Reading before
the Quebec institute in London recently.
Referring To tire reading uf novels, hc

but If they were readers he was sure they
would find it advantageous 80 TO mix

life had come on them. AS 70 what they
should read, he would say, good books.
Above all things, he would advise them
not To deceive themselves in their choice.
If they could make poetry delight with
them. it had charm which could not be
found in any other literature, but II

Domestic Problem.

A thinking mother finds the manage.
ment Of the family a difficult problem.
One son may inherit the disposition OF
the grandfather, another may have traits
resembling those of a remote uncle OF
aunt, another may be the hapless victim
of unfortunate prenatal influences, while
still another may be so harmoniously
composed as to require no management
at all. Children of the same family
often differ as widely as those that are
not akin to each other, and the problem
of bringing out of these diversities the
greatest sum total of virtue and hap
piness is not easy of solution. To judi
ciOusly manage these conflicting ele-
ments requires the utmost seJf-cOntrol
on the part of the parent. The first
thing to be done in order to manage a
child is to understand him thoroughly.
The next, to adopt such means as will
bring him into subsection to his parents
will, and thus enable him to acquire by
degrees the direction and control of his
own rowers for he must learn to obey
before he can yet command even himself.
1t is comparatively very little thing to
surround a boy or a girl with mere
phvsical comforts. Food and clothing
and habitation are essential to bodily
welfare, especially in this climate, but a
child having these may still be very
wretched, unless there come with them
sympathy, affection, recognition of his
essential character and capabilities.
Manya Juvenile soul hungers and thirsts
for the appreciation and satisfaction of
its intellectual and spiritual needs. O.
never had father" said lady net long
ago, though he she called such sat be-
side her every day "he knows nothing
of me, neither does my mother. l have
lived in profound solitude all my life. 7"
And vet that father doubtless thought
he was doing his duty to his child when
he taught her the commandments, cor
rected her when she did wrong, and saw
that she had comfortable food, raimeBt
and lodging. So far rs is possible, every
father should put himself, and every
mother herself. in the child's place, look
at things through the child's eyes, and
gently lead him in the right path. For
there is only one way of bringing all the
members Of one family into unity, and
that is by the law of love. When each
one in honor prefers the other, though
diversities will still exist, there will be
unity; though discOrds may arise, they
will resolve themselves into concords,
and the concords will be all the sweeter
for the occasional dissonance mingling
with the harmony.
THE kangaroo has been introduced on
several large estates in France, and is
now hunted in that country as game. 1t
readily adapts itself TO the climate.

The End of tbe World.

A meeting of Second Adventists was
held recently in Cooper Union, New
York, to discuss the prophecy Of com
ing of Christ in 1876. Mr.. Jerrie, who
had written on a blackboard some figures
to show that the end Of the world, or
" the time Of the end" will come this
year, spoke about the fulfllment Of the
prophecy in the twelfth chapter OF
Daniel. He illustrated his interpreta-
ton of the prophecy by historical refer
ences. lie next told that the prophe-
cies foretold the end 1885 years from a
given time, that is, from the time when
the daily sacrifices shall be taken away,
and the abomination that maketh detO-
late be set up" This abomination, he
said, was the church Of Rome, and its set'
ting up occurred in 81, when the em-
peror Justinian placed it on the pinnacle
Gf rs power, and in order 10 do 20 over
threw the GUths. Then followed the
period of 900 years spoken OF in the
prophecy, bringing the time up 10 lo"l, 4,
when the allied powers Of Europe, to
prevent a continual war, took away from
the pope Just as much power as Justin
ian had given him. To this 300 years
the prophecy added month and n half
meaning forty-fve years, thus fixing the
time of the end in 1876. In this view,
Mr.. Jerrie said, science and revelation
agreed. lie did not attempt 70 fix the
day or the month Of the end, which is TO
come like a thief in the night" Two
or three other persOns spoke, and the Old
man criticised tho churches for not
preaching the coming OF Christ.

Judge Guila's Charge TO the Grand
Jury.


We give below an extract from the
charge of his honor, Judge Guild, to the
grand jury of the present term of the
circuit court:
come now to charge you upon high
misdemeanor which is 50 common in the
land, and which it is now your high duty
to notice, and bring the offenders to JUS
tice, whosoever they may be. l allude
to the vicious habit of carrying about
the person concealed weapons. More
than half the homicides which occur
grow out of this debased practice. When
I was boy, the " bullies" of one creek
would meet those of another creek upon
the muster ground, ring would be
formed, and fair fight was had no con-
cealed weapon was drawn and citizen
slain; all their muscles we're brought into
play, which ended in a knock down and
an occasional bite-no one slain. But,
now, the desperate, with his pistols
buCkled around him, seeks his victim, in
suits an unarmed man sensitive of his
honor, and if he make an effort to repel
the insult, the pistol is drawn, a new
grave is made anda a helpless widow and
orphans are left to mourn the loss of hus-
band and father. This evil practice is
one of the Off-shOOts of 1aZiness, and in
disposition to pursue some virtuous and
laudable employment which will always
secure Il reasonable living and bring
home to young man an honest reputa-
tion. Whenever young men depart from
this laudable course, put on and wear
broad-cloth, silks, kid-gloves and "pru-
nellas," attend upon gambling houses and
saloons and idle away their precious time,
they are sure to fall into vicious habits ::
such characters as those who loiter about
whisky shops and attend regularly upon
gambling heils, think themselves dis
graced if they have never killed their
man." so they arm themselves with the
deadly pistol and seek an occasion in
which to use it, that they may be lion
lied by the gentler sex, thinking it will
give them position or caste with them,
who in every age have appreciated
bravery-but the bravery displayed by
men should be courage exhibited in de-
tense of their country and not the bully
ism of the murderer. We are fallen upon
evil times-carrying pistols-dress and
parade-giving entertainments attended
with the extraordinary expenditures,
such as no honest calling can afford. Too
much extravaganza and too little work
are the fruitful causes of most of the
evils of our time. Genuine miTth and
virtue are undergoing a decay; in the
cities especially, they are stifed and be-
coming extinct. In this train of vicious
habits is this disreputable practice of
carrying concealed weapons. The juries
of the country and a virtuous public
sentiment should Danish this habit from
the land as they have driven dueling
and the bowie knife beyond the borders
of civilization
