WASHINGTON, May 23.-The ord

has completed two of the ten-inch steel
breech-loading rifles for the monitor

best products of renowned European

attained was 1900 feet per second. The
range could not be determined owing
to the lack of a sufficiently large

The Effects Of Wheels on Roads.

Prof. n. s. Shaler in Scribner.
The character of the vehicles which are used
upon roadway has great influence upon its
endurance to the beat of the wheels. With the
same burden two-wheeled cart does far more
this because Of the suddenness in the motion
OF the wheels and their irregular, twisting
movement In the track way. Where the axles
are short and the wheels close together the
damage to all, save turnpike ways is greatly
increased, for the reason that there is no
chance for the growth Of grass between the
treadway Of the wheels and the footway of
the horses. This principle appears to
have been recognized III some parts of the
country. Thus in the neIghborhood of Boston,
where the ways are made solid by macadam or
other rubble, the distance between the wheels
Is generally about five aud one-half feet while
in the sandy road district Of Cape Cod the
length Of the axle is usually half foot greater.
The greatest defect Of our American carriages
Is that for given weight of carriage and bur-
den the tires OF the wheels extremely mar
row. 1t is true that on Unconditional and
muddy roads a narrow wheel tread is advan-
tageous for the reason that the thick mud has
a less extended hold when it wraps around
arrangement the interests Of the roadway
are sacrificed to the convenience of the indi-
vidual who drives upon it These narrow
wheels, with tires often not more than an inch
In diameter, cut like knives into the road-bed
aud so deepen the ruts. II we could require
that no vehicle should have tire less than an
inch and a half in diameter, and that all
springless carriages should have tires at least
two inches In diameter, increasing in wld b
with the burden, We would secure our WAYS
against considerable part OF the evils from
which they suffer.

New England orthodoxy, but possessed . big
heart, full OF hope for all our race. He knew
what was meant by experience and had lived
a long life under the old flag in the endowment
of peace and its blessings. When the venerable
man. in his eighties, was feeble of body and
failing, but with mental faculties still clear he
was visited by pious neighbor who felt a call
to exhort the old soldier regarding his relations
to the future life.

'Bur THE MrppLE-AaEp PERSON,
- rule, imagines that the blurring Of the
letters signifies impaired sight. He or she is
aware that glasses will make reading easy
again, but hesitation is felt in adopting them
on account of the widespread saying that once
taken up, spectacles can never be done without
again. The truth at the bottom of this lies in
the fact that when ones sight has once been
restored by artificial means, one is not disposed
to throw the help away again. Not realiz-
ing this. the middle-aged person keeps
on straining the eyes until they be-
come somewhat damaged, for want Of
artificial aid in reading or sewing and finally
the glasses are adopted-bought in nine cases
out Of ten, from the ignorant opticians, to
cause more trouble. very likely. later on. And
all the distress might have been saved by
simply going to the oculist when the annoyance
first began TO be felt and procuring the proper
glasses. This Is what every person at forty
nve years of age ought to do, for there is no
one that arrives at the age Of fifty, at the ut
most, VINO does not need assistance for close
vision"
q, is it true that near-sighted eyes improve as
they grow older?''
'Pah! That is another popular delusion.
ear-sightedness may grow worse with age but
not better. Likewise, it is nonsense to sup
pose as Is 30 commonly asserted, that the near
sighted eye is unusually strong. How should
the abnormal egg-shaped eye be stronger than
the normal spherical eve? The near-sighted
eve is not necessarily weak. but it is a sick eye.
In the sense that it usually belongs to a person
who is imperfect cOnstitutionally. The re-
verse OF near-sight is oversight, which is occa-
stoned by
FLATNEss OF THE ORB OF VISION.
1T is the case of nearly all cases of weak
eyes, and Of nine out of every ten cases of
squirt Any child afflicted with either of
these troubles should be taken at once to the
oculist and have glasses prescribed for it.
Thousands of people go through life without
half the use of their eyes, when the whole trouble
Is simply due to slight malformation
whichproper convex glasses would remedy at
once. In the case of confirmed squint it may
be necessary to cut the shortened muscle of
the squirting eye, which removes the difficulty
and sets the organ straight again. Let me add
while think of it, that there is nothing against
which the ignorant should be warned more
carefully than the eye waters sold at apothe-
carries shops, which almost invariably contain
sugar of lead. This chemical applied to a sore
eye makes an opaque deposit on the cornea,
which may soon render the unfortunate pur-
chaser of quack eye remedies permanently
blind"
