A Peculiar Blindness Caused by Sleeping
In the Moonlight.

A Peculiar Kindness Caused by Sleeping
In the Moonlight.
aree cases Of "moonblinlx" occurred
o. the British steamship Acanthus,
which reached Philadelphia the other
day. After the low-lying hills fringing
the shores OF Batavia faded from view
on the afternoon OF July IA for so days
her crew OF 60 officers and seamen saw
no land, sighted no vessel and encoun-
tered no storm. Among the crew are
three seamen who, during the run
across the Indian ocean, suffered terri
bly, from sudden blindness at night, the
result of that strange disease of the
eyes prevalent in the tropics, and
known TO sailors as "moonblink." One
bright, moonlight night, while the
Acanthus was steaming across the In
dian ocean, one OF them finding his
berth i'm the forecastle too uncomforta-
bly, hot, went out and lay upon the
deck. The moon was nearing her full
and shone almost directly overhead.
When the watch was changed at mid
night he was awakened and was horri-
fed 10 find himself blind. At first the
captain thought the man might be
shamming TO avoid going on duty, but
an investigation was made, and IL was
found that he could not see, although
his eyes were wide open. The calamity
was at once diagnosed as case of
''moonblink," and the captain eau
toned his men against running such
risks. When day began TO break sight
began TO return, and by sunrise he
could see as well as II nothing unusual
had happened. All OF that day the
case formed the chief topic OF CONVEX
sation and when night came two more
men determined TO test the effect OF the
moon. After a two hours nap in the
full glare OF the moon both men wero
awakened totally blind. An order from
the captain prevented auy further ex-
perimenting in that line during the rest
OF the voyage.

"When Nursing the Sick" in the Sep
TENDER Ladies' Home Journal, insists
that a tranquil mind is of the ut most
importance to the patient, and conse-
luently everything must seem to be
moving smoothly and easily, no matter
what difficulties the nurse may have to
encounter. The Invalid should not be
allowed to feel any responsibility what
ever about his own case. The sick room
should be Ike pt scrupulously neat, aud
made rs cheerful and attractive do
possible, that the eyes OF tie patient
may rest with pleasure upon his sur
roundings. The nurse herself may con-
tribute TO the agreeable environment If
her own dress is simple and tasteful,
and above all, conspicuously neat. All
soiled dishes should be removed i'm
medately after being used and no food
kept in sight. Even the medicine bottles
need not be obtrusively III evidence.

The Utah station has been trying n
series OF irrigation experiments with

20 say the least. Fall irrigation one
season when rain brought the grain all
up was detrimental TO both yield of
grain and straw, while in the succeeding
fall, when there WAS not rain enough to
bring the grain up until late, the TALL
irrigation Was beneficial, the average f,
being little ia favor OF the iall IL

is not enough 10 Justify the expense of
irrigation. Ii would appear, too, that .

the proper amount OF water TO give iall

effect OH the yield, while in the second
season the third irrigation Was but
