BERLIN, April 2.-This city has been
thrown into state of excitement, and
even the kaiser's household is somewhat
agitated over the arrest in an obscure
quarter of the city of man who gave
his name as Tielots Nirehs, and who
stated that he was a Russian Pole
from the village of Ekafasisht. In the
filthy quarters which he inhabited
were found several loaded dynamite
bombs and quantity of percussion

the fellow struggled furiously and
yelled in frenzy that the kaiser was a

would slay him. AS he was carried

one Million Dollars in Gold Exchanged
for Them in New York.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA crucial test of
the policy of the Government was made
to-day, when Heidelbach, Yekeiheimer
d Co. rendered Sl,O0O,O00 in treasury
notes, issued on account of silver pur-
chases, and demanded for them 81 .O00, goo
IN gold for shipment to Germany by to-
morrow's steamer. The Treasury Off
Gals made no demur, but paid out the
money.
Inc transaction caused comment, as no
nome institution or home banking firm
ever IN the history of the Government
made like demand on the Treasury, and
IN some quarters the impression prevailed
that the exporting firm took the step not
so much to make a profit on the ship
ment, which in itself was too insignificant
Tor bank or a firm to consider, but
really for the purpose of forcing an issue.
Assistant Treasurer Roberts said no
steps had been taken by the Administra-
ton to prevent or obstruct the export of
gold. The Government stands ready to
meet all obligations in gold, and will pay
them all in gold. Its free gold balances
now amount to Sll2, 200, 900. By this set
tlement of Treasurer Roberts it is clear
the Government has already decided to
pay all silver treasury notes in gold, if

LIGHT AND SIGHT.
The Electric Light and Its Effect Upon
the Eyes.


In the present state of our knowledge
1t may be assumed that good and sutfi-
cient sunlight is the illumination best
suited to our eyes; sunlight must there
fore form the standard by which forms of
illumination may be compared: the nearer
the artificial light approaches in its char
acters to those of sunlight the better.
The arc light is unsuitable for indoor
illumination because of its intense bril-
Hancy, on account of its unsteadiness.
and because it contains a large propor-
ton OF violet and ultraviolet rays, which,
though readily absorbed by the media of
he eye before reaching the retina. cause a
certain amount OF fatigue. When used
for outdoor illumination the lights should
be placed high, so that they may be a
long way from the eyes, and should then
be lnclosed in ground glass. LICKING d.
rectly at the unprotected arc light for
any length of time is dangerous to the
eyes.
The incandescent electric light NAV be
used with advantage for indoor illumina-
ton, since its composition compares well
with sunlight, while containing but few
rays belonging to the red end of the spec
trum, it has fewer violet and ultraviolet
rays than the arc light. Many ewes are
liable to fatigue when used by any artifi-
cial light for long time together, but I
have known many cases where highly
myopic eyes, and eyes afflicted with other
diseases have derived benefit by the sub
stitution OF the electric TO any extent 1t

stands in need; unfortunately the report
will hardly go beyond the profession.

shoot which came mp from the roots of
the old tree was carried to the Oliver es-
tate, at Bay Ridge, n. Y, where it has
stood for more than fifty years. This is
the tree which was removed from there
to the grounds of General Paul A. Oliver
of Forest Roads, divers Mills, Pa,
whose ancestors owned the ground on the
Delaware where the Treaty Elm stood.
1t was a bold undertaking to move SO
large tree for 175 miles, especially since
it had to be moved by horse and hand
power at the beginning and end Of the
route. General Oliver wrote on the Goth
of June that the tree seems to be growing
well and promises to thrive in its new
home on the mountain side as well as it
did by New York BAY.
