Diseases of the Ear In Schools.

The paper of DIR. @. J. Blake, read
before the American Social Science
Association, on the method by which
teachers should ascertain defects of hear
ing in their pupils, calls attention to the
importance of recognizing the existence
of class among school children for
whom special provision in the way of
education must be made This was
shown by the fact that out of 8,715
cases of ear disease, accompanied by i'm.
pairment of hearing, 2,175, or twenty
five per cent. were children under
fourteen years of age, these statistics
being taken from children in public
schools; also that in about twelve per
cent. there was an existing aural disease
an enable to treatment. In the opinion
of the writer the seriousness of the con-
dihon of schools in this respect was not
great enough to justify the resort to an
additional department to the schools.
The instruction of partially deaf chill
dren in school set apart for them was
Objectionable and unnecessary for
number of reasons, but if they be re-
tanned in the schools with other children,
it became necessary to rate them accord
ing to degree of individual disability, in
order thai proper allowance might be
made for their defective hearing. To
this end careful examination should be
made in each case, to determine the de-
gree of deafness as tested by the dis
tance at which the voice of the teacher
can be heard in ordinary conversational
tone, and again by the pronunciation of
consonant tones. These tests could be
made by the teacher, and the following
directions for making them were given:
The teacher should always occupy, in
testing the different cases, the same po-
sition, preferably the rostrum or seat
usually occupied by him in school hours.
He should speak in the same tone of
voice used in the schoolroom exercises.
The child to be tested should be placed
in front of the teacher and at the ex-
treme limit of the furthest line of seats,
and gradually advanced toward the
teacher at certain intervals, the tests
being repeated until point is reached
Mt which the child can hear distinctly
This point should determine the place
the child should occupy in the school
room. The ears should be tested sep
arately, the ear to be tested being turned
toward the teacher, while the other is
artifcially closed. The child should be
required to repeat distinctly the words
as he hears them. The paper strongly
recommends the establishment of med
ical supervisor of schools; the post to
be occupied by competent physician
who had made the matter of school
hygiene study, and his whole time to
be devoted to the duties of his position.

"And Mrs. Elder9"
YES"
81 didn't see either of them"
"Not a word about Mrs. Jones, I"
thought the ladies.
A light running conversation, some
thing after this style, was kept up, with
occasional pauses, for half an hour,
when one of the visitors determined to
come to the point.
"Mrs. Todd-a-hem p she said in
one of the pauses that always take place
in uninteresting conversation.
The lady's tone of voice had SO
changed from what it was q few mo-
ments before, that Mrs. Todd looked up
at her with surprise. No less chenged
was the lady's countenance. Mrs. Todd
was mystifed. But she was not long in
doubt.
"A-hem Mrs. Todd, we have come
to-to-as friends-mutual- -friends-to
ask you -
The lady's voice broke down; but two
OF three "a. .hems /" partially restored it,
and she Went on:
To ask why you refused TOTO
speak to Mrs. Jones2"
"Why L refused to speak to Mrs.
Jones9" said Mrs. Todd, her cheek
flushing.
Yes. Mrs. Jones is very much hurt
about it, and says she cannot imagine
the reason. It has made her very I'M
happy. AS mutual friends, we have
thought it our duty to try and reconcile
matters. 1t is on this errand that we
have called this morning. Mrs. Jones
says she met you for the last time about
two weeks ago, and that you refused to
speak to her. May we ask the reason2"
"You may, certainly" was calmly re-
piled.
Expectation was now on tiptoe.
"What, then, was the reason p
&C. did not see her,"
"Why9 Didn't you refuse to speak
to herr"
"Never in my life. l esteem Mrs.
Jones too highly. If I passed her, as
you say, without speaking, it was be-
cause did not see her."
In less than half an hour Mrs. Todd
was at the house of Mrs. Jones. What
passed between the ladies need not be
told.

A New Peril.

At London, Mr.. j. Morton, the aero
naut, accompanied by Mr.. Tanner, made
most successful ascent, and soon at
tanned an altitude of 5000 feet, at which
height they passed over the east of
London into Kent, crossing the Thames
no less than threetime Upon arriving
near Ethan they descended in large
meadow, and were just in the act of let
ting off the gas when tremendous bel
lowing was heard, and, on looking in the
direction whence the sound proceeded,
a large bull was seen rushing wildly
toward them. Mr.. Tanner, fully recog-
nizing the danger of the situation, with
great presence of mind Immediately
seized the two remaining bags of ballast,
and threw them bodily out of the car.
The balloon rose, but only just in time
to escape the horns of the infuriated
animal, who, upon seeing the balloon
suspended over him, turned his atten-
tion to the bags of sand, the contents of
which he soon scattered in all direc-
tions. In his attack his horns came in
contact with the grapnel rope, and the
jerk releasing the grapnel, set the bal
loon free, but, at the same time, threw
Mr.. Morton, who was attending to the
rope, out of the car. Fortunately, he
succeeded in clutching the netting, and,
with Mr.. Tanners assistance, was hauled
into the balloon before it had ascendeo
many hundred feet. The aeronauts
sailed away about mile, when they
found safe haven.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
BY T. s. ARTHUR.

"Did you see that ?" said Mrs. Jones
to her friend Mrs, Lyon, with whom she
was walking.
"See what9"
"Why, that Mrs. Todd didn't speak to
me-"
"No. thought she spoke to you as
well as to me-"
"Indeed, then, she DIDN'T"

"Surel Can | believe my own eyes

"What in theworld can be the reason,

"You certainly must be mistaken.
Mrs. Todd would not refuse to speak to
one of her old friends in the street."
"Humph don't know. She's
rather queer sometimes. She's taken q
milf at something, / suppose, and means
to cut my acquaintance. But shall not
distress myself about it. She isn't all

"Have you done anything likely to
offend her2 ?" asked Mrs. Lyon.

Notwithstanding Mrs. Jones perfect

The Pressure of Sunlight.

Professor Clerk Maxwell says: The
mean energy in one cubic foot of sun
light is about 00000000882 OF q foot
pound, and the mean pressure on a
square foot is 0. O.0000000882 of pound
weight. A fiat body exposed to sunlight
would experience this pressure on its
illuminated side only, and would there
fore be repelled from the side upon
which the light falls. Calculated out,
this gives the pressure of sunlight equal
to about two and a half pounds per
square mile. Between the two and half
pounds deducted from calculation and
the fifty-seven tons obtained from exper-
iment, the difference is great, but nc
greater than is often the case between
theory and experiment.

A BAD SoN.-Several years ago
wealthy citizen of Boston bought one of
the finest lots in Forest Hills cemetery,
and inelosed it with granite curbing and
steps leading to the entrance. Upon
dying his body was inferred in the lot,
which, with the general estate, became
the property of an only son. This son
became addicted to gambling, and in a
short time his wealth disappeared.
Finally, he sold the burial lot to a
stranger, and caused the bones OF hls
father to be removed to one OF the $25
single graves.
