Sensations of a Blind Man.

An interesting account has been
lately furnished by NJ. Plateau, the
eminent Belgian physicist (who has
been blind nearly forty years., of the
sensations he experiences in his eyes.
He has no sense of objective light
even when directing his eyes toward
the sun. But his visual field is al
ways divided into spaces, some of
which are pretty bright, and others
sombre or nearly dark, and which
merge into each other. Their general
tint alternates, in time, between gray
and reddish. The relative arrange-
ment of those different spaces is
always the same, but the intensity of
their .tints varies. The central space
seems now rather bright, now very
dark; above and below, and on the
left to the limits of the field,
there is sometimes brightness, some
times darkness, but on the right
there is generally a vertical band,
nearly black, and beyond this space
which is nearly always bright and
reddish. These appearances follow
all the movements of the eyes, which
probably do not participate in the
same way in the tints, but NJ Pla-
teau can't distinguish what belongs to
one from what belongs to the other
No connection of the general tint
with the work of digestion is OBJ
served. The author states that he
became blind through looking fixed
ly at the sun for some time. with a
view to observing his after-sensa-
tlons; it was not till about fourteen
years after this that Inflammation of
the choroid set in, destroying vision,
but during the interval he often saw
colored and persistent halos round
flames, etc, and he advises those who
have such vision to consult an
experienced oculist.-London Ma

Rockwood's Smali-Pox.

RoCKwooD, June 13, 1882.
Mr.. EDITOR: We have endured quite a
scare and stampede from our town for the
last two weeks, having had five genuine
cases of malignant smallpox and few of
yarioloid. The last case died the 9th inst,
yet the scare is not entirely abated. Four
died and one recovered. Our town is quite
dull, and the streets have much the appear
ance of Sunday, except the streets are void
of the people taking a walk. To-day there
is little more stir, and the people are
taking little more courage and the hope is
being strengthened from day to day that we
are through with the disease. God grant it
may be SO. The furnaces were not COM
PEELED to shut down, but they run with
short help and orders for iron could not be
filled for want of hands to load the same.
The doctor who first pronounced a case of
smallpox here has had hard tight The
pope were SO indignant that, instead of
using means to suppress the spread of the
disease, they occupied their valuable time
in abusing and insulting him, even getting
doctors from out of town to assist In furn-
ishing proof for their vituperations. W.

every person nearly has some special cure

we can confidently recommend it.

The STRIKE.
Measures for Preserving Order in
Cleveland.
Why Non-Union Man Carried a
Revolver.

CLEVELAND, Ono, June 15.-The
strikers have men designated from
their number to act as police and as
sist in preserving order. They asked
to be appointed by the city as special
patrolmen, but the request was de-
MED them. Two of these quasi
officers arrested Thomas Blythe, a
non-union workman, last Friday, on
a charge of carrying concealed
weapons. When on trigl,' in the
police court, Blythe swore that he
carried revolver to protect himself
from assaults by the strikers. He
was acquitted, and the men who are
rested him were arrested at the sug-
gestion of the court, charged with
assault and battery, it being in the
evidence that they seized Blythe
without a warrant or provocation
and found a revolver in his posses
sion. Their cases were set for trial
for the 21st inst. This morning,
when on his way to work, Blythe
was attacked by a gang of men, pre-
sumed to be strikers, and was 30
badly beaten that he may die.

Barrels of Human Ashes.

The students at the University of
Pennsylvania have nearly all com>
pleted their years work in the dis
secting room, and that department
will be closed in a few days; in con
sequence of which the interesting
experiments in cremating the dead
bodies brought to the University
will be discontinued for the present.
It is not generally known that a
crematory has been erected in the
new college building, and that the
bodies, after they have been used by
the students, are sent down to the
furnace and burned to white ashes.
This disposition of the bodies
is considered by the University peo-
pie much better than the old way of
throwing them into a pit and allow
ing them to decompose. The crema-
tory furnace is large one, built
after the pattern of the one at Wash
ington, in this State, and will burn
as many as eight bodies at time.
As a result of Its frequent and sues
cessful use recently the superinten-
dent of the crematory has on hand
several barrels of ashes, the mortal
remains of more than a hundred
subjects" TIE great problem now
is, what disposition shall be made CT
the accumulation? 1t would not be
exactly proper to dump it in the
common ash heap and send it to the
fertilizers S, although such proceeds
ing has been proposed. ''Ihe subs
ject'' seems to have a pretty hard
time of, it altogether. After being
in pickle for months, he or
she, as the case may be,
is carved up, burned with a
batch of fellow victims, and the
ashes barrelled up to await an in
quest of professors as to what shall
next become of them. About eight
hours are required to reduce half
dozen bodies to ashes, and twenty
four hours are consumed IN the cool
ing off process. A l50-pound body
comes out of the furnace reduced to
less than half a dozen pounds on the
average. Several experiments are
to be made soon to determine into
how small quantity of ashes hu-
man being can be reduced. Propo-
sitions have been made by some of
the custodians of the Small pox
Hospital to cremate the patients who
die there. The matter has been sug-
gested to the board of health, and
the experiments proposed at the
university crematory may lead to
more important results than We're at
first intended Philadelphia Record.
