The Electric Light ana Short.
SightcllneSS.


Remarking the number Of students
who are afflicted with shortsightedness,
Professor Pickering has, Engineering
says, lately examined some physical
causes that may bring about this abnor-
NAL condition of the eye. He finds that
it is not the light so much as the heat
that is mainly concerned in developing
the prejudicial effects. Heat is radiated
from the flame of the lamp and the
chimney, and is reflected from the
shade and the surface Of the paper. 1t
immediately " l'crs the hygrometric con-
ditions Of the surrounding air and dries
the forehead, temples, and eyes. This
view seems to be confirmed by the fact
temporary relief from headache and
pains in the eyes may be found in bath
ing the affected organs with fresh wa
ter. Ordinary gas-bnrners and oi-lamps
give out Il considerable amount Of heat
by the energetic consumption Of the hy-
dro-carbons, and hence their injurious
effect. In this respect the electric light
Is not open to the same objection, for al
though the light may be rendered as
intense as desirable, still there is but
very little heat produced. The flicker
ing winch IS especially noticed when
the voltaic arc is employed is certainly
Il drawback, but this, it is hoped, will
be ultimately remedicd. Almost perfect
steadiness is already attained i'm the in
Candescent lights.

Mrs. Mary Beecher is forewoman of a
department containing 200 girls in the
Naugatuck co., Rubber shoe company,

Wild ivy.

This poisonous vine is often met. with
in the country, in open as well as seclud~
cd spots. Children, who, i'll this season,
are generally securing the mdcrbrush
and out-of-thc~way spots, in quest of ber-
ries often come upon it unaware and
eases Of poison follow, which are often
distressing and persistent. The usual
eXpedient in such eases is olive oi! ap-
piled in the shape OF an ointment. An
other simple remedy is poulticc of
crush he'd bean leaves applied to the pois-
Oned parts. 1t is claimed that this will
immediately and thoroughly neutralize
the poison.

1t is wholly composed of uumer-

of which is acknowledged 10y the
medical profession to be the most
potent of all the herbal remedies
known to medical science.
But its great virtue is mainly at
trbutable to the new and peculiar

to the extreme care exercised in its
manufacture, using only the pure,
active principles, and excluding all
that is crude or irritating. No one
