Eyesight Killed by Poor Light.

Like every other sense that of sight
improves by use under healthy condi-
tions and. therefore, the people who
have the greatest exercise of their vi.
sion in the open air under the light of
the sun have the best eyesight Gen.
orally speaking savage tribes possess
the keenest eyesight. acquired through
hunting. Natives of the Solomon is
lands are very quick at perceiving dis
tant objects, such as ships at sea, and
will pick out birds concealed in dense
foliage some sixty or seventy feet high.
Shepherds and sailors are blessed with
good sight Eskimos will detect a
white fox in the snow q great distance
awav, while the Arabs Of the deserts
of Arabia have such extreme powers of
vision that on the vast plains of the
desert they will pick out objects invisi-
bic to the ordinary eye at ranges of
from one to ten miles distant Among
civilized peoples the Norwegians have
better eyesight than most if not all
others, as they more generclly fulfill
the necessary conditions. The reason
why defective eyes are so much on the
increase in this country and in Europe
lies in too much study of books in
early life and in badly lighted rooms.

AN ALASKA PRODUCT.
a Rats Nest Large Enough to I'm .
Freight Car.


For = queer and unusual article OF
freight . rats nest can hardly be ex-
celed. especially the nest of . wood
rat that was built by those strange
little animal architects in far-of Alas
ka, and which was shipped from San
Francisco recently in a freight car to
the Smithsonian institution at Wash
ington. Only one available car for the
purpose could be found, so large and
cumbersome was the nest, it being ap-
proximately cone-shaped, seven feet in
height, and with an irregular broad
base, ten feet wild, at one end and
bout six feet at the other. With its
crate of light framework it weighed
nine hundred and eighty pounds, and
a big New York Central furniture car
with wide doors and high roof solved
the problem Of shipment
OF course, neither the wood rat nor
his nest is a very uncommon sight, but
the one in question is. however, on ac-
count of hight and size, and. like many
other nests of these rats, is q most in
teresting sight to many who have never
seen one of them, and study to every
body for the intelligence and design
displayed in its construction.
The nest at the first glance is appar-
emily hug. pile of small branches,
twigs, leaves and grasses imbedded in

doubt big enough for that purpose. be-
cause the inside of the nest was filled
with a large number Of pounches or
little rooms. each one leading from an
opening and upon rude climbing and
winding stairway clear up to the apex
of the nest. The pounches are all
lined with soft grasses and leaves. and
some of them had lot of fur or hair
in them. for these little animals often
pull out their own fur to make warm
beds for their young. They have been
known to pull their fur from their
bodies by the mouthfuls in order to fit
up the pounches as snugly as possible
for their young. and this had evident
ly been done by some Of the rats that
had occupied the nest in question.

In India there IS . common supersti

are rather rare, otherwise this super.
stition would have ceased to exist
