ANALYSIS OF A TEAR.
Things Which Make a Dewdrop Upon -
Woman's Cheek.


The principal element in the compo-
sition of 4 tear, as may readily be sup
posed, is water. The other elements
are salt, soda, phosphate of lime, phos-
phate of soda and mucus, each in small
proportions. A dried tear seen through
microscope of good average power
presents peculiar appearance. The
water, after evaporation, leaves behind
it the saline ingredients, which ANAL
gamate and form themselves into
heightened cross lines. and look like a
number of minute fish bones. The
tears are secreted in what are called
the "lachrymal glands" situated over
the eyeball and underneath the lid.
The contents of these glands are car
ried along and under the inner surface
of the eye-lids by means of six or seven
very fine channels. and are discharged
little above the cartilage supper ting
the lid.
The discharge of tears from the ZACH
rymal glands is not occasional and &C
cidental, as is commonly supposed, but
continuous. 1t goes on both day and
night-though less abundantly at night
through the "conduits," and spreads
equally over the surface of the pupil. in
Writ ne of the incessant movement of the
lids. After serving its purpose, the
flow is carried away by two little drains,
situated in that corner of each eve
nearest tn e nose-into which they run
and called the "lachrymal points"
The usefulness of this quiet flow of
tears, to both men and beasts, is mani
fest. There is such an immense quanti-
ty of fine dust floating in the air and
constantly getting into the eyes, that.
but for it, they would soon become
choked. Very little is requisite to keep
the ball free, and when some obnoxious
substance-smoke, an insect or the
like that affects the nerves-does make
its way in, an increased dow is poured
out to sweep it away.-L0HdoD Queen.
