historical BLINDNESS.

at tho Narragansott Electric Light.
ing Company's works in Providence,
II. L, says the Journal, there arc two
Dlen who, during tho lasa few years,
haye been temporarily blinded whom
throwing o switch. Superintendent
Thomas says that this happens in
every big eiectrio lighting station in
tue country. When q switch is thrown
tho circuit is broken. Whom properly
done another connection is made SIM
ultaneously. Tho intense flash lasts
until another connection is made. One
of tho men with the Management
Company was so nearly blinded that
ho was Mt homo three days et one time.
He was not, however, rs is said to have
been the case with Caulfiold, unable
to SEQ anything at all. He was able
to grope about, but could SEQ nothing
distinctly. Both tho men who have
been affected ut the electric lighting
company's works arc remarkably
strong specimens of manhood, and
could not DO called historical by tho
widest stretch OF their Imagination.
In Caultield's case, with the single
exception OF dropping eyelids, which
might have been caused from lack of
sleep, his eyes seemed to be perfect.
Tho feature OF dropping eyelids tallies
exactly with tho local cases cited. Iii
fact, there seemed to be one very good
reason why they couldn't 500. In view
of this it socms quite possible that the
difficulty, in their cases at least, might
be called physical rather than hyp-
motto, which is II term applied to tho
Brooklyn case by DIR. Raub.
A further argument which would be
advanced by those inclined to believe
the theory of hysterical blindness n
fanciful one is that the flash, when u
switch is thrown, is far moro intense
than any that could como from the
trolley. Tho switch board ut the Mar
ragansett company's station is now 30
arranged TINT in case Of flash there
is marble slab an inch and half
thick between the mans Dyes and tho
exact location of tho most intense
light Yet Superintendent Thomas
states that not lnter than two weeks
ago he had to turn his back to tho
slab, so powerfully dazzling was the
light If left long enough tho mar.
BILE slab would burn like paper.

Anatomists, when they wish 10

The Guinea Worm,

A doctor of Quincy ncnds tho fol-
lowing concerning n wonderful para
site known to the medical fraternity
as the Guinea worm:
"Ihe lannon's Guinea worm is m
inhabitant OF the tropical regions of
Asia and Africa, existing in ponds,
rivers and swamps. penotrates tho
skin of any human body without being
felt, and whom once it finds lodgment
grows to nm enormous length. Tho
body of the creature seldom exceeds
i'll diameter that of largo pin, and it
inhabits tho flesh just beneath tho
skin. When full grown it is not less
than twelve feet in length, md in
order to accommodate itself must wind
several times around tho logs or
body. Should tho Guinea worm find
homo under the humnn cuticle and
grow to large size, there is danger of
modification setting i'll when the
parasite bursts, as it is sure to do
sooner or later. In order to guard
against nm accident of this character
great care is exercised in extracting
the unwelcomo intruder. The skin is
opened near ono end of the creature,
and the body pulled out and wrapped
around small, round stick. This
stick is turned very slowly for days,
or even weeks, until tho entire worm
has been extracted. st. Louis Re.

West Virginia RopubIicanlsm. The
sixth annual meeting OF the State Re-
publican League brought together IRON
every section Of this mountain state the
largest and most representative number
OF men that hQs assembled at political
convention OF either party IN West Viz
Gln!a for years. The splendid character
OF the gathering and is far reaching et-
fec: can scarcely 6e exaggerated. I,
was ve:itab!e outpouring Of the peo-
pie from more than fifty OF the fity.four
counties 10 testify their faith in the
purity that stands for American inter.
es,s against the world, and 10 express
ceasurc OF the present dominant party
in our national affairs, which has made
such miserable failure of it. It was
all the more significant because this
great gathering came together without
tho incentive OF scramble for the
offices. but simply 10 renew other al
lesiancc TO Republican principles, and
to organize for the campaign that is to
cone in the fall.
