International Marine Conference.

International Marine conference
The international Marine Conference,
which was so long in session at Wash
ington, brought its labors TO close on
the 31st of December, when it was adj
journed without day. Those most in
terested in the proceedings of the confer
ence appear to sregard it as having
accom- plished results which will be
found to be of value to the maritime
powers The portion Of the work OF the
conference which took up the greater
part of It's time was that relating to the
"rules of the road" and looking TO the
prevention of collisions at sea. This
portion OF the work consumed all but
few of the sessions of the conference.
Among the most important recommen-
dations adopted was one for the estab-
lishment of a uniform system OF buoy
age, reform which is most urgently
needed. Other recommendations look
TO uniformity in surveying laws, so as to
require similar vessels of different coun-
tres TO carry equivalent life-savlng APP
pIiances, uniformity in reporting, mark
ing and removing dangerous wrecks or
distractions to navigation, and uniform
ity in the transmission of warnings and
signals of approaching storms. The
establishment of a permanent maritime
commission was considered, but owing
to the strong opposition of the delegates
from England and Germany the confer
ence decided not TO recommend it

The Human Eve.

Science gives us interesting details
about what the human eye has been and
what it may become. The Vendas of
India, which are the most ancient writ
ten documents, attest that at times most
remote, but still recorded in history,
only two colors were known-black and
red. A very long time elapsed before
the eye could perceive the color yellow,
and a still longer time before green could
be distinguished; and it is remarkable
that in the most ancient language the
term which designated yellow insensibly
passed to the Specification of green. The
Greeks had, according to the generally
received opinion, the perceptionof colors
very highly developed, and yet authors
of a more recent date assur us that in
the time of Alexander the Great the
Greek painters knew but four colors.
viz: white, black, red and yellow.
The words to designate blue and violet
were wanting to the Greeks in the most
ancient times of their history, they call
ing these colors gray and black. 1t is
thus the colors in the rainbow were only
distinguished gradually, and the great
Aristotle only knew four of them. 1t is
a we'll known fact that when the colors
of the prism are photographed there re-
mains outside the limit of the blue and
violet in the spectrum a distinct impress
sion which our eyes do not recognize as
a color. Psychologists tell us that it is
reasonable to suppose that as the color
organ becomes more highly developed,
and even before the human eye becomes
perfect, this outside band will evolve
into acolor perfectly discernible. -Phila-

End Of Long Lawsuit.

An extraordinary lawsuit, which COM
menced Sept. 10, 1865, has just been con.
cluded, after having lasted lei years. In
the year 1419 Bishop Demcndy, of Neu-
ira, in northern Hungary, died, leaving
his immense estates to his family. Owing,
however, to the Turkish invasion of
Hungary at that time, the bishops rela-
tiyes were unable to take possession of
the property. After the invasion it was
found that the number of persons who
had a right to share in the property was
upward of a thousand.
AS they were unable to agree among
themselves as to the division of tho cs.
tates, an appeal was made to tho law.
The courts of justice were so afraid OF
doing injustice by precipitate action that
all the original heirs, and even the next
two generations, had passed away before
a decision was arrived at. Meantimethc
expenses of the law and administration
had to be paid, and while these have well
nigh swallowed up the once vast fortune.
the heirs have increased in number to
more than 1900. Now that the judg-
ment of the court has been delivered, the
bishops descendants find that property
that should have now been worth prob
ably a quarter of a million has melted
down to something over $4,000, out of
which they have still to pay a lawyers
bill of 81, 1000. This will leave the for
tunate heirs at least a sovereign apiece.

papain and Thallin in Cancer.

The anonymous correspondent of The
Lancet, whose suggestion of the COM
bined used of papain and thallin in can
Ger was noticed in q recent number of
The London Medical Recorder, turns out
to be DR.. j. Mortimer Granville. He has
since supplemented his first statement by
further communication, in which he says
that if the solvent or digestive power of
the papain is to be brought to bear on
the morbid growth it must not be ex-
hausted by being first mixed with food.
He therefore recommends very frequent
administration of the papain and %tlallin,
and their combination in the form Of
pills. The aim is to get absorption of the
drug, not local action on the stomach.
In cancer of that organ DR.. Mortimer
Granville gives, besides the pills, papain
suspended in water with thallin and an
alkali.
With the view of further preventing
exhaustion of the papain he directs that
the patient shall be fed as exclusively as
possible on a vegetable diet, and that the
pills shall be taken before meals or in
the interval between them. He has not
found that the thallin given as described
exerts any injuriously depressing effect
on the organism as a whole. The vital
ity of the morbid growth seems to be
depressed by saturation with the thallin
and papain locally; this is effected by
applying a strong paste of two drugs in
combination, or, where practicable, by
their Injunction. The results obtained so
far are said to be encouraging, and
"make it clear that the method will de.
serve a full and fair trial by the profess
sion.''-London Medical Recorder.

Moon MYTHS,

In southern seas sailors warn intrepid
Gland lubbers," who persist in sleeping
in open air, to always WOO the dreamy
god under all awning; otherwise what
might have been a refreshing sleep may
terminate in temporary loss of sight. l
say Temporary" for the reason that it
has never turned out to be q permanent
calamity, although it frequently causes
much trouble, and gives the victim a
scare he remembers the remainder of
his life.
In regard to the way the moon affects
the weather many curious facts are
recorded. 1t is an old saying that zone
Saturday moon change is enough for
seven years.. The nearer the time of
the moons change to midnight, says ar
old saw, the fairer will the weather be
the seven days following.
The nearer to midday the phases of the
moon happen the more foul the weather
may be expected. The space for these
calculations, according to the "weather
wise," is two hours before and two hours
after midnight and noon. If the new
moon stands on its point, $50 that the
strap of a powder horn would not catch
on its 'horn,'" there will be much wet
weather. If the new noon lies fiat on
"its back" it will hold all dampness and
o dry spell may be expected. Farmers
who plant and reap sin the moon"
always plant those vegetables whose
roots are used as food in the decline OF
last quarter.-John w. Wright in st.

A Saints Skull.

A saints skull is soon to form the SUBJ
ject of an action of law at Lyons. The
saint in question is Jean Soanen, who
was bishop of Senez, in the department
Of Basses-Alpes, during the reign of
Louis Quinze. The skull was for many
years in the possession of an ancient
family, whose scion, however, disposed
Of it a short time ago with some old
lumber to a local dealer in bric-a-brac.
He was at a loss to know what to do with
the skull, when a broker, hearing of his
dilemma, bethought of a devout lady
one of his custolners-who happened to
be the proprietor of the lower jaw of the
self same saint. The broker conducted
the lady to the shop, and a bargain was
concluded whereby, on the payment of
$40, she became the possessor of this ad-
ditional relic. After the lady had quit
ted the house in triumph, with the bish-
ops skull neatly packed up, the broker
claimed half the money as the intro
ducer, and, the dealer having refused to
hand over more than 81, he is bringing
the matter before the law courts. Lon

Down ON the Habit of Kissing,

1t is said that the nursing sisterhood
of st. Vincent. in France, have not suf-
fered from influenza. owing to certain
sage rules of the founder. He discour-
aged asceticism, enjoined warm clothes
and every reasonable comfort, because
the sisters should regard themselves as
fighting the evil principles which cause
suffering in the world, and the combat
with which needs bodily strength. They
slept in good beds from 9 at night to s in
the morning, and had good, succulent
diet, were free from care unless to do
their duty, and were not to salute any
one by the way when outside of the con-
vent on their errands of mercy. Salu-
tations in cold weather were, said the
reverend mother, one of the most fertile
sources of throat and pulmonary disease.
In fine weather they were the cause of
loss of time and took the mind from the
object on which it should be set.-Pall
Mall Gazette.
