DISEASES FROM ELECTRICITY.
Painful Affections of the Skin Pro
duced by the Light.


In the train of modern scientific and
industrial achievement has come a
number of new physical ailments-tl1e
price that civilization appears to be
called upon to pay for its advancement.
Electricity is credited with two or three
of these recently diagnosed disorders,
and physicians are now paying more
attention than ever before to the effect
of the electric current and electric
phenomena on the human body. just
now, in France, some of the doctors
are endeavoring to find a remedy for
what has borne the clumsy ana NILS
leading name of electric sunstroke."
This modern affection frequently be-
falls workmen employed in factories
where metals are fused or welded by
the arc process. The light produced
during the period of connection is, of
course intense. and even at a distance
of thirty feet the rays produce a pain
full, hot, pricking sensation, like that
of a. burn on such uncovered portions
of the body as the throat, face, and
more especially the forehead. The skin
of the parts affected is said to become
either copper-colored or assumes a
bronze hue; the eyes, in spite or olack
glasses. are so intensely daZZled as TO
be useless fer some minutes, AFTER
which anthopsia or yellow vision sets
in, everything appearing saffron-col--
ored; the junctiva are infiamed and
there is a gritty, feeling as OF sand IN
der the eyelids; there is frequently con,
siderable pain, also sleeplessness, and
in some cases fever. The physicians
have discussed the effects CT the bind
ing flash with much learning, but nave
as vet produced no better remedy than
that which would naturally suggest u
self to any layman-perfect rest in a
gubdued light. So long as the voitai i,
arc is employed in metal working 1T t., as
not likely that any means VIII be as
covered to prevent occasional temper
ary injury to the eyes of the work

DICK RLANp,s DEFEAT.

The silver cause suffered great loss
in the defeat of Dick Bland, of Mis-
souri,. He was not defeated on the
stand that he took for silver, however.
1t was the old sham fight on the tariff
that shelved him. But now that it is
generally considered that there will
not be much radical tariff legislation
for a few years to come. the currency
will receive more legislative attention.
Dick Bland will not long remain in
seclusion. He will be heard from even
if he is not in Congress. - Bellevue
