Currents in the Living Eye.

The existence of a continuous, though
sluggish, current in the eye, flowing
from behind forwards, has been demon
5trated by DIR. Max Kuics. The follow
ing was the method of investigation pur-
sued A minute quantity of a solution
of potassic fCrrOCyaHidc was introduced
into the pOStcrior part of the vitreous
hUmur. After the lapse OF from one to
four hours the animal was dccaptatcd
and the eyeball soaked in a solution of
fcrric chloride; it was then hardened in
alcohol. and subjected to microscopic eX-
animation The distribution of the pre-
Ciuitate Of Prussiau blue furnished CyI
dencc of the displacement ot the par
tic!CS of fcrlocvauidc during life, and
betrayed the paths along which 1t had
travelled. The current mentioned above
WIS found to exist in the interior of the
lens as well as in the yitrCOUS, the fluid
REQUIRED to nourish the former TerC0lat-
iug through the latter, and thus follow
ing the same course as the blood in the
hyaIoid artery of the fortus. The aguc-
Gus humor consists partly of 4 traHsuda-
tiou from the ciIiary body, partly of
liquid which has made it way through
the lens and vitrcous. II serves to nour-
ish the cornca. The nutrient fluid,
whether i'm the vitrcOus, in th" lens, or
in the Cornea, Is conveyed along the in
tcrccIlular substance and the author is
inclined to extend this proposition To
all the tissues Of the body, regarding the
intcrstitaI substance everywhere a. the
channel along which the nutrient juices
are conveyed to the Corpuscular elements
Of parcnchyma OF connective tissue.

that the British drills, jeans, and sheet

American brands and the names of lead

port Of cotton goods to England, the
movement continues with considerable
success. The number of packages ship

January l amounts to nearly eighteen
thousand packages, against ten thousand

HOUSE.

In the house, on the 9th, Mr. Payne
moved to supend the rules and pass his bill
to provide for the gradual resumption of
specie payment. The first section of the
bill directs the secretary of the treasury to
set aside and retain in coin each year, until
United States notes shall be appreciated to
par with gold, an amount equal to 3 per
cent. of outstanding legal tenders or legal
tender notes, to be held as a resumption
fund for the redemption of such legal tender
notes, provided that such coin set aside and
retained shall be counted as part of the sink
ing fund. The second section requires na-
tional banks to set aside and retain from
coin received by them as interest on bonds
deposited security for their circulation an
amount equal to per cent. of their cirCula-
ton, such coin to be counted as part of their
legal money reserve. The third section re.
peals so much of the resumption act of jan
uaTy II, 1875, as provides for the REDEMPTION
OF legal tender notes to the amount of so per
cent. of national bank notes in circulation
and as much as provides for the redemption
of legal tender notes in coin after January
1879. The motion was defeated-sl to I56.
The house then went into committee OF the
whole on the bill providing for the deficiency
in the engraving and printing bureau of the
treasury, and for the issuance of subsidiary
silver coin. Various amendments were
offered. The committee rose and reported
the bill and amendments, with the under
standing that a FIVE minutes debate will be
allowed in the house and a vote taken ON
each amendment House then adjourned.
