DANGEROUS LIGHTS.
Oculists Protest Against tho Use of Elcc
tricity with Plain Globes.

Oculists Protest Against the Use of Elcc-
tricity with Plain Globes.
An English paper states that London
oculists are up in arms against the
very serious danger to the community
caused by the electric light. Several
eminent eye doctors are agreed on the
point that unless q stop is put to the
exposure of uncovered electric lights
in the streets and in shops and offices
nearly all the population will become
blind. Experts are so greatly exercised
in the matter that they even suggest
that parliament should take it up and
prohibit the use of plain glass globes
Tor electric light unless they are prop
erly shaded. Commenting on this, a
London electrical journal says: ut is
not customary to look at the sun, and
not even the most enthusiastic electri-
clan would suggest that naked arcs
and incandescent filaments were OBJ
jects to be gazed at without limit. But
naked arc lights nre not usually placed
so as to come within the line of sight,
and when they do so accidentally,
whatever may result, the injury to tn.
eye is quite pcrceptible. The filament
of a glow lamp, on the other hand, is
more likely to meet the eye, but q
frosted bulb is an extremely simple and
common way of entirely getting over
that difficulty. The whole trouble can
easily be rcmedied by the use Of prop
crly frosted or colored glass globes.
In any caSa bowevar tba o,+,ol ,,or,,,,
nent injury to the eye by the glowing
1ilament is no greater than that due
to an ordinary gas fame"

veficlt for the end in view. The
american ambassador Casually green,
and glad to show friendly interest in
schemes he knows nothing whatever
about Immediately pens flowery re-
ply, pointing ont that this immortal
was link in the mighty chain uniting
the two branches of the great Anglo
Saxon race, with much similar rhetoric.
Now the trap is laid. The aInbassa-
doris letter is widely printed, and the
United States is copiously favored with
cabled extracts. The next step is the
| formation of the American committee.
This latter is almost wholly made up
of snob lnillionaires, who are ap-
preached by literary enissaries in the
secret. The Americans, of course, pro-
vide the money. The immortal house
is sold for fancy sumto the dummy"
corporation formed for the purpose;
the, owner has sold rotten and crum-
blinRpiece of real estate. and the agents
divide snug commission.
This trick was very humorously dealt
| with by the late James Russell Lowell,
who admitted that during his first year
as American minister he fell victim
| to it. But he soon found out the mean
ing of the game.
| The duke of Buccleugh is responsible

The duke of Westminster also has Il
finger in the pie. Both noblemcn arc

tate, and they are always willing 10
part with small lots at fancy rates when
they know they can get them Eack
again for next to nothing--for it is not
to be supposed for moment that these
nondescript museums, with their ac-
cdmulatim of trash yclcpt memorials
Of great departed" are taken seriously.
In very few years the gullible Amer
leans grow tired of their white Gle
phant. and it is sold at dead loss.
It is positively amusing to note the
child-lilie good faith with which the
| Carlyle gold brick trick is accepted by
! the Americans. Indeed, the devoted
| creatures, with all the seriousness of
innocence, have actually photographed
the wall papers in the rotten rookery,
and restored tireplaces to their former
condition. Witness the following para
| graph from an American literary week
| ly: The number of visitors who have
already visited the Carlyle museum
since it has been opened to the public
should be gratifying to the committee
who have takep so much pains to make

worthy memorial of great man and a

SCIENTIFIC GATHERINGS.

Sir John Herschel proved that an
icicle As miles in diameter and 2OO, 900
miles long would melt in one minute
should it fall into the sun.
The skin turns blue when exposed to
cold because, by low temperature,
the circulation is impeded at the sur
face, the arterial blood is partially pre-
vented from flowing beneath the skin,
and the venous blood, which is almost
purple, gives color to the skin.
Experiments made last summer in
Europe show that the amount of radi-
alton received from the sun on the
surface of the earth in n clear day is
greater with a dark blue than with a
light blue sky. In the latter case there
is higher tension OF the water vapor in
the air.

in Connection with the Butte q Boston
Lexington mining case was given out
yesterday. When the jury was polled.
on request of the attorneys for the
plaintiff, ii was found that James
Killham was the only juror who had
voted against the verdict for the Butte
& Boston. The fact is that when the
jurors left the jury room and on their
last ballot they stood s to 4, but when
they were polled three of the four lost
their nerve and Killham was the only
one to stand by his vote. Killham says
he was surprised at the action of the
other three men. but their action could
not influence him.
