I few days since 5. c. Mills. secretary OF
! the board of unwTiters. was sitting in his
/ office when suddenly he felt pain in his
/ eyes He pushed with both hands on his
] eyebrows. when they began 10 OOze from
] his eyelids and the evehalls We're suddenly
i prOtruded to the furtheSt limit of the

/ ing an awful appearance. When found
1 he was perfectly rigid the eyes sticking
/ out of their sockets an inch or more, and
I ne was uttering the most heartrendlng
I cries. The case has puzzled the doctors
! greatly, number of theories being adj
] Vanced. but none so far has been accept ed
! as proved. A rupture of some blood yes
I sci back of each eye is probably the
cause, but how this has brought about or
! why II should have occurred simultan-
eously IN each eve cavity Is unexplained.
/ The eyes themselves evidently lost all life
/ at once, for not only was the sight COM
! pletely lost, but the eve balls rapidly
! showed signs of degeneration and 1t be-
/ came necessary to remove them.
TO successive generations Of both
/ Jews and Christians. says All the Year
/ Round, Jerusalem has been the center of
] the WOrlG. and the Temnla the center of
Jerusalem. The Talmud gives directions
/ 10 those who are in foreign countries to
/ pray with their faces toward the sacred
land; 10 those in Palestine TO pray with
| their faces toward Jerusalem; to those
IN Jerusalem TO pray with their faces
/ toward the Mount; TO those in the temple
! to pray with their faces toward the
| Holy of Holes. Now this was not merely
| because that sacred spot was a ceremo-
/ NAL center. but because il was regarded
| as the geographical center of the earth.
| According to the Rabbis, the temple was
built on the great central rock of the
/ world. 1t is written in the Talmud: The
/ world Is like the eyeball of a mantle
! white is the ocean that surrounds the
wall, the black is the world ITSELF and
| the pupil is Jerusalem and the image of
! the pupil is the temple And again; The
/ land of Israel is situated in the center Of
| the world. and Jerusalem in the center
! OF the land OF Israel and the temple IN
/ the center of Jerusalem, and the Holy
/ of Holes in the center of the temple. and
/ the foundation stone on which the world
was grounded is situated in front of the
| ark And once more: 'When the ark
/ was removed a stone was there from the
| days of the first prophet. II was called
Foundation. 1t Ras three digits above

Somerset House has the unenviable
/ reputation Of being the most unhealthy
! of all government offices, says writer
/ in a London paper. Why should this be?
/ is often asked; but if people would only
/ give the matter little reflection they
/ would ascertain the reason. The danger
| is in the will department where Wills
from all parts of the kingdom are de-
/ posted. just think what this means a
| man lies on his bed, stricken with some
| deadly disease; he feels he is dying. and
| asks for his will to be read over to
him in order that he may if he thinks
! necessary, make alterations. The Will
! is handled by the sick man. and after
! his death is sent TO London TO the great
! depository for such documents. But
] not one has been treated as it should
| have been after passing through the
| hands of the victim of the disease. \
case in point occurs TO me as ] write

! due course his will went the way of ali
! others. A question arose which necessi-

done, but soon after the searcher was
| seized with an exceptionally bad attack
| of the disease, which could be traced di-
rectly to the search which he made at
| Somerset House, all other surmises as
| to the cause of mis- attack having been
! proved to be groundless. Fortunately for
him it was not fatal The practice of

steps should be taken to prevent the

| be SUFFERING at the time Sanitary in
speCtors are ever ready to strip the walls
| of the paper with WI ich they are covered
and destroy it, but the paper which most

sooner the proper authorities take steps

The treatment of consumption by in
| halations of oxygen and ozone has given
| encouraging results in the hands of
| French physicians, especially when en-
! ployed in the earlier stages of the dis
ease, says the Philadelphia Record The
| same is true of certain forms Of affections
| of the blood-makng organs. like the ana
emia of young girls and the depression
following the various fevers. One estab-
| llshment in Paris, the st. Raphael InSti-
! tuition, employs this method of treatment
| upon a large scale, and is equipped with
| all the apparatus necessary to produce
| the ozOnized air in quantity. Many of the
| rooms in the institution are constantly
| supplied with the purified and charged
air, and the sick in inhaling the health
| giving atmosphere may sit and read, walk
| about or talk, and make themselves per
fectly comfortable without i'm any way
| being overcome by fatigue Experience
can take with marked benefit a stronger
/ atmosphere of the OZonized air than it
| is the custom TO introduce into the or
! binary living rooms. Therefore at an
/ other part of this unique institution a
| room has been set apart, in the center of
I which is a large cabinet provided with
/ inhalation tubes and mouth-pieces The
/ purified oxygen entering the blood soon
/ shows its effect in the feeling of re
! newed strength, the little red globules OF
! the blood current carrying their messages
/ of good cheer to the disease centers and
/ checking the onward progress of the NAL
/ ady. The ozonizng of the air is secured
| by means of electricity. The elements of
/ the electrical apparatus are arranged to
1 allow the oxygen to pass in a zig-zag man
/ ner, and upon leaving the arrangement
/ the ozoniZed gas enters gasometer.
! which supplies the various rooms The
| distributing pipes in the inhalation room
| are so arranged that the strength of the
ozonized air may be adjusted to suit each
| individual case. The establishment is
provided with ARCHAEOLOGICAL labora tory
and examinations are constantly in prog
/ ress of the sputa of the various patients
to determine the effects of the treatment
