The Use of Glasses.

Those persons who find it necessary to
hold any object nearer than fourteen inches
from their eyes, who find that their eyes
become dry and itching ON reading, need
glasses.
Persons under forty years of age should
not wear glasses until the accommodating
power of the eye has been suspended and
the exact state of refraction determined by
a competent ophthalmic surgeon. The
spectacle glasses sold by peddlers generally
are hurtful to the eyes of those who read
much, as the lenses are made of inferior
sheet glass, and not systematically ground.
No matter how perfectly the lenses may be
made, unless they are mounted in a suitable
frame and properly placed before the eye,
discomforts will arise from their prolonged
use.
Persons holding objects too near the face
endanger the safety of their eyes and incur
the risk of becoming nearsighted.
The nearsighted eye is an unsound eve.
and should be fully corrected with glass,
notwithstanding the fact that it may need
no aid for reading. The proper time to be.
gin wearing glasses is just as soon as the
eyes tire on being subjected to prolonged
use.-Detroit Free Press.

My father was walking the poop of his
vessel in Sydney harbor, and, as it was
rather close, warm evening, the awnings
were furled. 1t was laundering and light
ming He had just got aft and turned
around when he saw something exceedingly
bright drop before him, and he was knocked
down. In falling he struck his head
against the rail, which stunned him for a
minute. When he got up he found that
the front part of his legs was severely
scorched. Two of the planks in the deck
were charred about an inch deep for a
length of seven feet and the main royal
mast of a ship lying about quarter of a
mile astern was broken off, though wheth-
er by the same stroke he could not tell.
When the deck was repaired my father
kept the oharred portions, and he still has
them to show to any one who doubts his
story.
The ship that was struck by the light
ming had no conductors on her masts.
Most ships now have them. In the ship on
which served nay time we had platinum
rod on each truck, with wire conductors
passing through glass insulators down the
backstays. On the least sign of thunder
the ends of these wires were thrown over
the side. On dark nights, when there was
any lightning flashing, the points of the
platinum rods used to have blue light
glimmering on them, and the effect was
very weird and uncanny.-London Tit
Bits,
