POPULAR SCIENCE.
SiGHTLEsS PERSONS.

There Are just One Million Now Liv-
ing I'm Civilized Lands.
1t is stated that there are 100000
blind people in the world, or to every
1900 inhabitants. A great German
oculist believes that majority of the
cases are due to fever, and that IS per
cent. of the afflicted persons could, by
proper treatment, have retained their
sight. Last reports show $4,000 blind
persons in England, or $40 for each
100000 inhabitants. Blind infants
of less than years, 166 for each 1,000,-
600 inhabitants. Blind infants of less
than years, 166 for each 100000; be-
tween and Is, 2Ss; between 20 and 25,
423; between As and 60, 1925, and above
Go years, 1000 for each 100000. Of
fetal figures in France show that only
one-sixth of the sightless were born
blind, that of these 65 per cent. were
male and 35 per cent. female children.
Less than 10 per cent. of sightless peo-
pie in France were under the age of 81.
Russia and Egypt are the countries
where the blind constitute the largest
proportionate number of the total pop
ulation, in Russia on account of the lack
of experienced medical attention, and
in Egypt because of ophthdlmia due to
irritation caused by movement of the
sand by the wind. There are nearly
100000 blind persons in European Rus
STA, the largest proportionate number
in Finland and the northern provinces.
This is ascribed to the fiat country and
imperfect ventilation in huts of the
psasantry. Though more than half of
the blind population of Europe is found
in Russia, there are only 25 asylums for
the blind in the empire, one-tenth of the
total number in Europe. While the
blind population in the United States is
less than one-third as large as that of
Russia, the number of inmates of blind
asylums is larger here than in any other
country. The total number of pupils
in these institutions was, by last re-
ports, 3,4S9, and grounds and buildings
devoted to their use are valued at &c.
100000.

THE LOSS OF SLEEP.

ing Interest in Life.
In paper by Prof. I'll. c. Warren, of
Princeton university, there are accu-
ratcly described some experiments on
the effects produced by loss of sleep,
conducted by Prof. Patrick and DIR. Gill
bert, of the University of Iowa. These
gentlemen tested three normal subjects,
composed of instructors, men not
easily susceptible to influences. They
we're kept awake 90 hours without slim
ulants. During this time they were en-
gagged, as far as possible, in their usual
occupations. After the second night the
first subject complained that the floor
was covered with a greasy-looking molec-
ular layer of rapidly moving particles.
They rendered him nearly desperate.
Sometimes the layer seemed foot
above the floor, and parallel with it. As
he tried to step upon it he staggered
and tumbled, could not obtain a sure
footing. Later the air became full of
swarming particles, which developed
into red, purple and black gnats. He fire.
quently climbed into chair to brush
them away from the gas Jet. The APP
pcarance OF all these men was the same
as If an overdose of liquor aad been adj

normal rest for several lights feel a
laasitude and depressing interest in life
They seem to lose an equitable judg-
ment of things. Events ,IAeIn out of

hand-lever, is three feet long. The
slanting brace in which the hand-lever
is fulcrummed has length of two feet
ten inches. The short upright lever is
only foot long, and the horizontal
shoe which comes in contact with the
flooring is sixteen inches long. The
check rcd, in the rear, is hinged to the
frame, and trimmed to fit in the notches.
The dog must be sharp enough to take
hold of the floor lining or joist, as the
case may be. 1t will be seen, at a

1t will stand alone. Mr.. Smith says
that he never yet saw any plan for
hardwood flooring that did not require
an extra hand. But with this device a
carpenter can dog the stuff himself.
The material employed in this
"squeezer" is hardwood and iron,
which together cost 80 cents. The
labor out on it costs about as much
more.-N. Y. Tribune.

LABoR-sAvlNo DEVICE.
Intended to Hold Flooring before II
Has Been Nailed.

Has Been Mailed.
Many carpenters, when laying floor
find it possible to fit the strips of stuff
closely enough by placing block of
wood against the outer edge of the free
board, and strikingly it smartly with
hammer. Then when the tongue of one
strip has been wedged into the grooves
of the other the nail is driven which
holds the newly laid board in place.
But with some kinds of stuff, especial
ly hardwood, it is desirable to hold the
strips temporarily with some sort of
jack or with chisel until the work
man is ready to drive nails. Ira A. Smith,
of East Berkshire, VT, who is an archi-
tect and builder, has been so dissatis-
fled with the usual methods adopted in
such cases that he has invented o
"squeezer" of his own. The sketch re-
produced herewith tells its own story
so well that little need be added. The

UNIQUE TELESCOPE.
Haryard's New Instrument VIII Do
Wonderful Things.

II is expected that Harvard's new
eigltt-inch rectangular telescope will be
in full working order by the middle Of
June. Without the assistance of any
person, il will change and expose plates,
and take, automatically, photographs
of the stars. w. H. Atwill is supervis-
ing its construction. Within a drum
attached to the focus of the telescope
is revolving frame, which carries eight
Photographic plates, octagonally ar
ranged, films outward. This frame is
turned through one-eighth of revolu-
ton, in the return of the telescope to
the meridian, thus bringing fresh
plate into the field of the telescope.
Each region is photographed 20 min
utes. The supply of plates lasts little
less than three hours. A large part
of the work of Harvard observatory is
devoted to systematic charting of the
heavens by means of photography. The
rev telescope will save the observer
many hours of tiresome labor, which
has been before required in changing
plates. At some time during the year,
all portions of the sky visible in our
latitude come to the meridian, charting
being confined to the zones lying on the
meridian. Taking the regions as they
drift through this zone, eventually all
the heavens visible in our latitude will
be photographed. The new telescope is
designed to work in this narrow belt of
the sky, which has the meridian for it's
center. The telescope starts near the
meridian and follows region for 20
minutes, at the end of which time it
quickly and automatically returns to its
starting point. During this return it is
also pointed automatically ten degrees
further north, or toward the zenith,
region just above the one last taken.
Owing to cloudy weather and other
causes, some regions pass the telescope
without being observed. This telescope
is provided with an adjustment which
will enable it to start one or two hours
west of the meridian, and thus recover
regions which might otherwise be lost.
The telescope turns at rate which
neutraiizes the effect of the earth's ro-
tation on its axis.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
