The Length OF Lines Of Type.

A prominent medical man Of France
has published an article in which he
uncquivocally condemns the lines of
type in books and newspapers. arguing
that their present length-bcing too
long-is upfavorablc to the eyes and
nerves Of tho readers. He maintains
that the eyes cannot, as OF right they
should. take in all tho words Of each
limo in the range Of the focus. This
doctor insists that the line Of type ought
not TO extend much over two inches.
that being the normal range Of tho eye
when II il stationary. In regard to the
shape and size of the letters, tho same
authority declares that the smaller the
type the harder tho strain on the eyes.
An example is given in the miniature
edition OF Dante, shown in tho last
French exhibition, which ruined the eye
sight Of three printers and two proof
readers. Concerning the shape Of let
ters, tho tall. thin Roman letters, tech
nically known in Franco rs poetic type,
are the most trying on the eyes. Short
heads and tails are to be preferred, be-
cause tho eyes run more easily over
them, and there is less liability Of con-
fusing one line with another. Like the
German oculists, tho French doctor
maintains that tho shortsightedncss so
prevalent in Germany is due entirely to
the use Of Gothic type. Tho Chinese
style Of writing and printing, in very
narrow columns, would therefore seem
to be the truo system.
