Musical Edison.
Buffalo News.l

Thomas Edison, the inventor, although
somewhat deaf, is passionately fond Of
music. He has a piano in his elegant
home that is pounded on most vigorously
by the famous electrician two or three
times a day. He does not play by note,
but has a wonderfully quick ear to catch
popular and even difficult opera airs. His
deafness is not SO great as TO interfere with
his hearing music. 1t is amusing to see
him getting a tune out of his ivory keys.
He looks very much as though he were at
a telegraph key sending off a quick dis.
patch and wanted to rattle the operator at
the other end by his lightning rapidity.
Sometimes he will play a piece with his
forefnger only. 1t moves like a phan.
tom finger, so hurriedly does it pass over
the keys. He goes to the opera fire.

home, no matter how late the hour. he

strike up "Semiramide, " and wind up

combined with a ready knowledge of
notes, would make him a great per.

But as regards letters, a considerable
proportion of the 400, 900, 900 Cinnamon

by special agents, who generally collect
the postage from the receiver. There was
certainly something comic in the fact that
when China was no longer able to exclude

Causes Of DeteriOrated Eye-sIght

Popular Science Monthly
The causes to which this deterioration
of eye-sight has been attributed are al
legged to be cross.lights from opposite
windows, light shining directly on the
face, insufficient light, small types, and
to the position of the desk, forcing the
scholar 10 bend over and bring the eye0
too close to the book or writing paper,
etc. But, were all these defects remedied,
the integrity of the eye would not be
restored nor its deterioration prevented.
The chief causes of the evil would
still remain. These are the color of the
paper and the ink. White paper and
black ink are running the eyesight of all
reading nations. The "rays of the
sun" says Lord Bacon, I" are reflected
by a white body, and are absorbed by a
black one. " No one dissents from this
opinion; but despite these indications of
nature and of philosophy, we print our
books and write our letters in direct oppo.
sition to the suggestions of optical sci
ence.
When we read q book printed in the ex-
isting mode, we do not see the letters,
which being black are non.refective. The
shapes reach the retina, but these are not
received by a spontaneous, direct action
of that organ. The white surface of the
paper is reflected, but the letters are de-
tected only by a discriminating effort of
the optic nerves. This effort annoys the
nerves, and, when long continued OK
hausts their susceptibility. The human
eye can not long sustain the broad glare
of the white surface without injury. The
author of Spanish Vistas" in Harper's
Magazine, says of Cartagena that "blind
people seem to be numerous there, a fact
which may be owing to the excessive daz-
zle of the sunlight and the absence of
verdure. Mr.. Seward, in his tour
around the world, observed that "in
Egypt opthalmia is universal, " attribut.
ing it to the same excessive dazzle of the
wide areas of white sand; and the British
soldiers, in he late campaign in that
country, exhibited symptoms of the same
disease
In the smithsonian report for 1877 1t is
stated in a paper on Color Blindness, "
that M. Chevreul produced IA, 420 dis
tlnguishable tints of the elementary col
ors. from which the paper manufacturers
could select colors more agreeable to the
eye than the dazzling white, weakening
and decorating to the nerves of that deli
cate organ.

much interested in what they call
"Psychical research. They are also in.
v~estigating a very extraordinary phase of
%spiritualism called "%theosophy. This
queer mystery comes to us from oriental
lands, and Is a mixture of Asiatic gnostic-
Ism, medieval magic and modern science.
Mr.. A. P. Sinnett is the founder, or
rather introducer of this new school. In
his "Occult World and "Esoteric Buddh-
ism" he has outlined its main features
very attractively.
Such a hold has the new "osophy" al.

men have left their homes to dwell as
hermits in the wilds of Thibet, where
they may learn the unknowable from
