1t is not surprising that SO many school
children suffer with weak eyes when we
consider the conditions under which they
are forced to use them. The very fact
that the light in many school rooms is
twice strained through glass partitions
before 1t penetrates the inside rooms, is
in itself a severe test Of sight. The pre-
ponderance of sash wood over the panes
of glass is anything but propitious to
clear seeing. With heads bent over desks
doing arithmetical examples, or studying
the fine printed school books, or reading
their own imperfect handwriting from
which many Of the lessons must be
learned, the only wonder is that all the
little ones are not purblind before they
reach the grammar schools. Professor

1t is a fatal error Of almost all those
10000 tourists who come in the annual
swarm across the Atlantic that they fly
along the well worn paths, live in modern
hotels, diet themselves on homeopathic
doses out OF guide books, and pass from
city to city, just as the rustic gazes
through one hole after another in the
peep show at a country fair. There are
thousands Of people who stay at home,
read quietly, look thoughtfully at maps
and pictures, and through all kinds Of
good books get a far deeper insight into
the lives of other lands than the busting
conventional tourists, who take the round
peep show method of looking at Europe.

Experiments have proved that the ten
sile strength of a wet rope is only one
third that Of the same rope when dry;
and n rope saturated with grease or soap
is weaker still, rs the lubricant permits
the fDers to slip with greater facility.
Hemp rope contracts strongly on being
wet, and a dry rope twenty-five feet long
will shorten to t~wenty-four on being wet.

When the Duke of Wellington was
