Precautionary Measures Against ImPortH-
ton Being Taken by the British Par
Lament.
1t has been reported to the Treasury de-
partment that the British parliament is con-
sidering measures looking to the interdiction
of cattle from foreign countries where the
foot and mouth disease prevails, and that an
attempt will probably be made to have 1t ap-
ply to importations from the United states.
1t is stated at the Treasury department that
such application would be unwarrantcd, as a
thorough investigation of the subject, just
concluded, has shown that the foot and
mouth disease does not prevail among the cat
tie in this country. Steps will be taken to
bring this fact to the attention of the British
government, to the end that the orders in
council on this subject may not be made ap-
plicable to the importation of cattle from this
country.

THE EFFECT OF ACE ON THE EYE.-Is Ia
found on an average Of observations, that
of 10 years of age the crystalline lens in
the eye may be rendered so convex as to
give clear image of an object three inches
away. AT p it viii accommodate itself
to an object four and half inches from
the eye. Anything nearer will be obscure.
because the lens will not assume g form
sufficiently convex TO refract TO focus on
the re!iua rays of light so divergent az any
nearer object viii radiste. At 40 years
of age the near point has reached to
distance Of Zine inches, and at 80 20
thirteen inches. At so years OF age ihe
lens has so far lost its fexibility, and
therefore its power OF responding to the
muscle, that It cannot ordinarily give a
clear object less than twenty-s;x inches
from the eye. At 20 the power Of accom-
mediation is wholly lost; light still passes
through the eye, and is focused on the
retina, but only when il comes in parallel
rays Parallel rays can converge on the
retina, but divergent rays require that
extra retroactive power which the
aged eye has lost by the hardening of
the lens. Not rs matter of disease, then,
but in the ordinary course Of years, and in
every eye alike, is the bodily sight weaned
from the seruples of near objects around,
and permitted to turn a clear vision upon
things far off, From Chambers Journal.
