TOTAL eclipse OF the sun, which can be observed
from convenient stations In Europe This eclipse
occurs on the 10th OF August and the line OF
totality passes through Berlin, and little to the

an excellent opportunity to pursue their studies OF
the suns surroundings. Our government ought to

with very rapid plates, the faint illumination
about the sun might be photographed. Obserya-

Smok ing and Heart.Disease.

In report by Dr. Frantzel, of Berlin, on immod-
crate smoking and its effects upon the heart, it is
stated that the latter show themselves chiefly by
rapid, irregular palpitation OF the heart, short
breath, languOr, sleeplessness, &c. Dr. Frantzel
says that II the causes OF these complaints are in
quired into 1T Is generally found that the patients
are great smokers: They may not smoke cigars
from the Havanas. Smoking, as 4 rule, agrees
with persons for many years, perhaps for twenty
years and longer, although by degrees cigars OF a
finer flavor are chosen But all at once without
any aSSfgnable cause, troubles are Experienced
with the heart, which rapidly increase and compel
the sufferer to call in the help OF the medical man
Il Is strange that persons consuming cigars Of Or
binary Qual1by, even II they smoke them very
largely, rarely are attacked in that way. The ex.
cessive use OF cigarettes has not been known to
give rise to similar troubles, although it is the
astonishing to find how many persons with adj
vancing years discontinue smoking AS rule.
affection OF the heart has caused them to abture
the weed. In such cases the patient has found the
best cure without consulting the medical man.
