The Gambler Sank With Twenty-Six Pas
sengers Owing to n Collision.
The steamers Gambler and Easily
collided at l o'clock Friday morning
inside Fort Phillip Heads. The Gam
bier was coming in from Sydney, and
the Easily was bound out. The Gam
bicrs side was crushed in, and panic
ensued among the passengers, most of
whom had been asleep in their berths,
and who now rushed ON deck. The
Easily rescued many of the Gam
bier's passengers and crew, but before
she could reach them all the Gam bier
sank, carrying down five saloon pas
sengers, 10 steerage passengers and six
of the crew. The Easby's boats were
unable to find any survivors in the
water. The Easily was not much dam
aged. The night was clear, and many
assert that the lights and lookouts were
not properly kept on either vessel.

GETTING SECOND SIGHT.
Crawfsh's Eyes Are Replaced by Nature
After Amputation.

That the common crawfish has the
power of reproducing an eye which it
may happen to lose, is fact quite
familiar to naturalists; but we are in
debted to NJ. S. Chantrau, the eminent
scientist, for the discovery that this
power of reproduction varies with age.
NJ. Chantrau gives the results of his
observations in the Complies Rendus,
from which it appears that crawfish
l year old quickly and effectually re-
pairs such injuries, while in animals 2
and more years old reproduction is I'M
certain in its operations and never
perfect. His first experiments were
with q number of 1-year-old animals.
In October, 1881, after the close OF
their moulting season, he clipped of
their eyes. Moulting commenced in
May of the year following, and in Sep
TENDER, after four months had elapsed,
the eyes had been perfectly repro
suced.
The next experiment was with q
collection of the creatures that were z
years old past. These he deprived OF
their eyes, either Immediately before
moulting set in in the fall or during
the winter months, between the two
moults. The result of these cases
were various. In some OF the animals
after three or four months the eyes
were reproduced but the pupils were
so disfgured as to leave it extremely
doubtful whether they could serve for
the purpose of vision; in others one
pupil would be considerable smaller
than the one in the other eye OF the
same animal.
Finally, in the case of full-growr
animals, which moult less frequently
the females but once a year and the
males twice-the experimenter's re
suits did not show any reproduction o
the eye, but only the growth Of eye

Nervous Headache.

Nervous headache is, perhaps, the
most difficult OF all to describe or to
treat, inasmuch as it is not q disease
but q symptom, the cause OF which
may be in some remote part of the sys-
TEN. One form Of nervous headache,
which is unmistakable, though not al
ways understood as such, consists of a
dull, grinding pain at the back OF the
head near the base OF the brain, whore
the nerves of the spinal cord enlarge
and ramify for the formation OF the
brain. Pain in this locality, frequent
ly extending down the neck, is a sure
indication of impaired nervous action,
and should be treated accordingly. In
another direction, nervous trouble pro-
duces violent headache-that is from
the medium Of the stomach. With
many people any deep or sudden emo
ton, such as grief, fear, or even joy,
may partially or entirely paralyze the
action of the stomach; there is an utter
absence OF appetite and the serious
headache which results is simply the
indication of the trouble. When 1t is
removed, and the stomach resumes Its
accustomed action, the headache will
disappear.

THE SAFEST EXPLOSIVE.


In recent lecture on gun cotton,
says the Scientific American. delivered
by Prof. Munroe Of the torpedo station
at Newport, the lecturer declared that
gun cotton, correctly prepared and
handled according to directions was
the safest OF explosives to use. 1t
was dangerous only when the materials
had not been thoroughly purified, or
the union of acid and cotton incOm-
plete. In proof Of what could be done
with it a picture was thrown upon the
screen showing the workman cutting
it with Jig saw and lathe to fit it into a
shell. Another illustration was the
extinguishing Of block that was burn
ing by pouring water upon it. Two
thousand pounds Of it had been burned
in bonfire without explosion.
One volume OF the explosive gives
1923 of the gas and the pressure devel-
oped by combustion is 81 tons to the
square inch, and by detonation 1913
tons, the latter being in contact, how
ever. The effect of the explosion OF
it would take only one second for it to
pass through 10, 900 feet OF the eXplO-
sive. 1t was shown by the stereopti-
con that the letters U. S. N, with the
date of manufacture, that are in the
bottom of each block, are impressed
upon an iron plate upon which the gun
cotton may be exploded. 1t is II curl
GUS fact that is the marks on the block
are in relief, the reproduction on the
iron will be raised; and if cut in, there
will be an indentatiOn on the plate.
Prof. Munroe's theory is that when the
letters are cut into the explosives, the
gases generated in the lamentations
are hurled from them as proiectile
from a gun. II q leaf or delicate
piece Of lace be laid between the gun.
