CHEMISTRY OF A TEAR.
How It Looks When Seen Under Powerful
Microscope.


The principal element in the composition of a
tear, may readily be supposed is water The
other elements are salt soda. phosphate of lime,
phosphate of soda and mucus, each in small pro-
portions A dried tear seen through a micro
scope of good average power presents peculiar
appearance, The water after evaporation,
leaves behind it the saline ingredients, which
amalgamate and form themselves into length
ened cross lines, and look like a number of
minute fishbones The tears are secreted in
what are called the 'lachrymal glands" situated
over the eyeball and underneath the lid. The
contents of these glands lcarried along and
under the inner surface of the eyelids by means
of six seven very fine channels. and dis
charged little above the cartilage supporting
the lid.
The discharge of tears from the lachryma1
glands is not occasional and accidental. as is
commonly supposed but continuous It goes
on both day and night-though less abundantly
at night-through the ''conduits," and spreads
equally over the surface of the pupil, in virtue
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
eye nearest the nose-into which they run-and
called the ''lachrymal points, The usefulness
of this quiet flow of tears to both man and beast
is manifest There is such an immense quantity
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, the like-that
affects the nerves does make its way in, an
increased flow is poured out to sweep it away.

Rev. Lamport's Discourse.

Rev Mr. Lamport, pastor of Cen trail avenue
Church based his remarks last night on the re-
cent fire, finding his text in the egh teenth verse
OF the ninth chapter of Isaiah, "Wickedness
burnsth as the fire." and drawing parallel be-
tween the fire and sin. wickedness is like the
fire in that it has small beginnin gs but ends
in great destruction. The Chicago fire started
from coal-oil lamp in Mrs. OLeary's stable,
and the Portland confagration from a fire.
cracker, and all fires have small beginnings.
So with sin: no man suddenly starts into a life
of outbreaking wickedness; the beginning is
small. Then sin is like the fire in that it
destroys property. prospects and life.
Arson is but the concrete expression
of sin. and that is direct destruction of proper
ty; some things that man eats and drinks and
pays his money for not the destruction but
simply the exchange of property; but the man
who leads a life Of debauchery and dissipation

indulgence in; he gets noreturn The fire inter-
