Tobacco and Eyesight.

For many years it has BEEN known
to Opthalmlc surgeons that abuse of to-
bacco may lead o.iailure of sight. This
fact has been made use of by the anti
tobacconists, who are mostly we'll
meaning but meddlesomn persons, and
whose actions have. too close = Iesem-
blance to tAose OF agitators in the cause
of various reactionary measures for the
impediment of scientific research and
the obstruction of sanitary legislation.
In the report of forty cases of TOBACCO
amblyopia by Mr.. Shears, of Liver
pool, it appeared that atrophy of the
optic nerves is.verY rarely met with as
the result of excessive smoking. al
though tobacco is the essential agent in
producing failure of sight Great
moderation in smoking, and especially
the employment of mild forms of to-
bacco,. is all that is necessary to insure
recovery. Mr.. Hutchinson has found
that very small PROPORTION oil smokers
suffer from amblyopia- and that among
those, who do become subject to inn
paired vision are many who show an
hereditary tendency to that infirmity;
many of their relatives who do not
smoke being similarly afflicted. Work
men in tobacco factor es do not appear
to be subject to deterioration OF eye
sight; in one large mandatory, where
Il 900 naen and women are employed,
Mr.. Shears has found that not one sim
ole person ON the premises suffered
from failure of eyesight, although many
of the hands had been working there
for ten years. -Loaisvilie Co 1rter-Jour-

The Art of Prolonging Life.

s.To de of old age" is the object OF
ambition TO large number of persons;
who carefully nurse their health with
the view, not of escaping death alto
gether, for they know this to be impos-
sible, but Of eking life out to its utmost
limits. The art Of prolonging life in
this fashion appears to be less we'll I'M
derstood now than formerly. The Eeg-
istrar-General, in his report. lately puD-
lished. observes that the deaths ascribed
to old age have for many years Leen
diminish mo- in their proportion to the
population, and in 1882 were fewer in
proportion than in any former year
AS old age is tine natural termination of

of which the old die. his however,
does not account for all the apparent
decline in the mortality. For there
was in each of the three years 1850,
1881 and 1882 a sensible decline in the
mortality of persons of advanced age
from all causes; and in 1882. especially.
the death-rate of persons fifty live years
of age aud upward whether males or
females, was lower than it had been
for many years, probably than it had
ever been before. 4 he main factor
that determines the death-rate of the

The Use Of Old Muskets.

The condemned muskets of the Gov
| eminent the Enfield and Belgian
rifles and other firearms of the late war
find purchasers among the Grand
Army posts, amateur military COM
panies, and spectators for foreign mar
kets, some of them being converted in
to brecc h-lOaders forsporting purposes.
There is still another demand for them
which is not generally known. Large
numbers of smoothbore musket barrels
are remounted and restocked, and are
highly valued as duck guns and for
other field sporting purposes, even with
out being converted into breech-load-
ers. A sportsman, who is a very sue
sessful hunter, said recently that an
old musket barrel restocked was his
most valuable gun, and yet cost him
fonly So, and he has in his collection
several breech-loading 'stub and twist
guns, worth 800, more or less, each.
But whatever may the value of these
gun-barrels, it is certain that very
rye number find their way into the
market as sporting guns. A gun
smith with an experience of twenty
five or tn rty years lately answered, in
response to az inquiry, that very
large proportion of his business was
the alteration and remounting of old
military gun barrels, which form con-
siderable portion of the sporting gun
sellers stock in trade. The cost of
these guns is very slight, and their
market price brings them W thin the
| reach of most purchasers. But gun
with areal twist barrel IS a costly ar
t7cle. Instead of being rolled from a
plate or .'skelp'' between grooved roll
iers and welded at one rapid ope alton,
it is patiently hammered into a cylin-
der BY hand. The notified, da1nas-
cened, or straited appearance is pro-
duced by a series of wires of differing
irons twisted into cables and then
welded into square rods. These placed
side by side and heated to a weld are
wound half turn, or perhaps more,
at . time on mandrel, and seated
(welded) against one another by re-
peated taps of light hammer. The
ribbon thus formed of cables OF fine
wire may consist of not less than thirty
six or even fifty-two strands of wire. -
