About Blindness.

About Blindness.
The enthusiast who watches solar
eclipse without protecting his vision pays
for his rashness by developing central
blind spot which may not disappear for
years or may leave him permanently
blind. Or. Whitney reported seven cases
of premature injury to the vision in
japanese students from exposure to sun
light during eclipse. On another occasion
an engineer was rendered blind by ex-
posture to the light Of powerful electric
arc. The intense glare Of the snow is
also productive of blindness. 1t is not
unusual for woodsmen or hunters to be-
come so affected. The intense glare Of
the tropical seas also produces blindness,
known as moon blindness" enormously
attributed to the effect Of the rays of the
moon, but in reality caused by the suns
rays.
Light is essential for the development
Of vision, as the retina must have a GER
tain amount Of stimulus to develop its
action. In illustration of this fact we
may simply refer to the blind fish Of
the Mammoth cave.
Disease in various forms plays part
in causing blindness. At one time small
pox was most prolific cause Of loss of
sight. Measles and other eruptive fevers
still cause much blindness. In thickly
populated countries, where about one
third of the population become affected,
visual defects In consequence are enor-
mously great. In hot and dry countries
ophthalnia is exceedingly prevalent.
Napoleon, when in Egypt had at one
time about one-fourth of his army af-
fected. This form of disease is exceed
ingly contagious, and similar form Of
disease finds its origin in schools and in
situations where cleanliness is over
looked.
Epidemics of pinkeye still live within
the recollection of many present. While
these diseases do not, as q rule, lead to
blindness directly, yet the secondary re-
suits are banefuL-Dr. L. w. Fox in
Journal of Franklin Institute.

A Great Act.

When young lady has safely got a
dog, carefully inclosed in basket, past
the ''dogs-not-admitted" sign, the ticket
seller, the chopper man and the guard,
and is seated at last in the car, she is the
happiest person in the world-for she has
sruugCled, that vice dearest to the FEM
mime heart. There is look of triumph
on her face, touched with shade of fear
lest she may be found out, after all, that
no other situation in the world can bring.
1t is seldom that she can resist the temp
tRtion 10 open the cover little just be-
fore she reaches her destination, and let

fool received due consideration. The
fashionable fool. ne rich fool. the
miserly fool, the drunken fool. and the
stheistic fool were described and held
up to ridicule. Most Of the lecture
was amusing and many times the su-
dience was oonvulsed with laughter. but
many of his illustrations were very
old. bis description OF Harry
Haunes, the talented young man ruined
BY drink, the appeal to the moderate
drinker and the peroration on the sin OF
atheism were the strongest parts OF the
lecture. The audience WAS we'll pleased,

body, has any allusion to the Act be-
ginning on page 156, Stats. of 1873,
which processes to amend said section
3 of the Act of March 20, 1855.
But the provisions Of all of sections
4 and 5 of the Act Of March II, 1886,
are subject to another serious and fatal
criticism. They are original and not
amendatory. Being original, if they
amount to any thing it is because they
were intended to be supplementary to
the Act School Law Of March %,
1865. But the Act of March IL, 1885,
does not, in its title, propose to sup
plement any thing, and the original
matter contained in sections 4 and 5
Of that Act are not matter properly
connected with" the zone subject" of
that Act, as set out in it's title. .
1t is manifest, therefore, that the
entire Act of March II, 1886, is I'M
constitutional and void; and certifi-
Gates to teachers can only be issued
under the Act, section IL, of 1873.
See Statutes of 1873, page 161. Under
that section, certificates of the first
grade are only good for two years, and
those Of the second grade for one
year. And it follows that, said
Sweeney had not when he began
teaching said school, and had not
while he taught it, any legal certifi-
cate for Nye county-any emitting
him to warrant for his salary as
such teacher.
Perhaps, by liberal construction, the
Amendatory Act of 1873, Stats. page
156, may be held CONSTITUTIONAL; if 30,
it governs the State Board of Educa-
ton; see sect. 1; and the issuance
and duration of County Board certi-
ficates; see sect. IL.
It follows that the temporary in
junction should be made perpetual,
by a judgment as prayed for in the
complaint. Counsel for plaintiff will
prepare and submit findings Of fact
and conclusions Of law, and decree,
in accordance herewith.
