Wenrinw Wells.

A service has been done to women
generally by DR.. G. A. Wood of Chi
rago. in tests made by him, with sys-
tematic care, to determine the danger,
if any, in the wearing of wells. For
this purpose he selected a dozen typi-
cal specimens OF the article, and ap-
piled the ordinary tests of ability to
read while wearing them; and these
tests show that every description of
veil affects more or less the ability to
see distinctly, both in the distance and
near at hand. the most Objectionable
being the dotted sort Other things
being equal, vision is interfered with
in direct proportion to the number of
meshes per square inclf, and the tex
ture of the material also plays an i'm
portant part in the matter Thus,
when the sides of the mesh are single.
compact threads, the eye is much less
embarrassed than when double threads
are used; the least Objectionable veil,
on the whole, being that which is
without dots, sprays, or other figures,
but with large and regular meshes
made with single and compact threads.
Dr. Wood pertinently remarks that
while eye troubles do not necessarily
result from wearing veils-for the
healthy eye is as able as any other
part of the body to resist legitimate
strain-weak eyes are injured by them.

Luteresting Inventions.

In a new French apparatus for rails
ing sunken vessels number of cells
of calcium carbide are maintained on
board in such a position that gas is
generated as soon as the vessel sinks
and stored in colIapsible bags under
the decks, thus raising the ship imme-
dateiy, which might be the means of
saving many lives.
An Englishman has designed an cleo
tric fog signalling apparatus, which
has a large number of cartridge cham
bers IN a metallic disk, with a firing
mechanism on one side of the disk to
fire a cartridge at stated intervals if
a train is in the block ahead of the
signal, an electric current operating
the signal.
An improved method of attaching
the collar and tie to shirt consists
of loops formed on the collar, tie and
neckband, through which a spring ring
is forced, which extends nearly around
the neck under the tie and prevents
the slipping of collar and tie.

THE PILL THAT MTLk.
ZOO Rullets to XII One Man.

1t is, perhaps, little consolation to
men who are going into battle to know
that of every five hundred bullets
which they must face only one or two
will result in death. The fact, how
ever. is eloquent of an immense waste
of ammunition and want of care or
skill in firing.
OF the As 100000 bullets fired by the
Russians during the Crimean war,
44.952 900 failed TO fulfil their errand
of death. and were. for practical pur-
poses of destruction, wasted. The re-
naming AS 900 alone, which could have
easily been fired by a single regiment
within the space OF an hour, found
their billet This means that $40 bull
let's were fired before single soldier
of the allied troops was killed.
The British in the same war were
600 900 bullets fired, q, 900 We're fatal;
one bullet out of every 700 fired thus
accounting for one Russian.
The French soldiers, it is estimated,
fired 29.000,000 bullets, which resulted
in the death of 81 900 Russians, or at
The rate of one fatal bullet to every
$50 shots fired
During the Franco-German war, says
Tit-Bits, the German artillery fired
5000 shots. and the infantry 20,O00,-
900. This terrible hail of shot and
bullets, sufficient to eXterminate ma
ton. resulted in a loss of 10000 men
TO the French Thus every Frenchman
killed involved an expenditure of bull
let's enough to kill quarter of a regi-
ment.

4 recent writer in the Century mag
azire calls attention to the keenness OF
the fireman. hearing while asleep for
signals for his own station. He will
hear his own nUmbers, while those of
an adjoining station will fail to awak-
en- him. In the same connection he
quotes the fireman as saying tha. his
wife hears the baby when it stirs in the
crib, but never hears the gong, while
he never hears It, but will jump at the
stroke of the gong over his bed at
home. DR.. Nansen, the Arctic eXplor-
er, relates Il remarkable change in the
keenness OF the sense of smell during
his long absence among the northern
ice fields. Upon his return he was able
to detect the odor of the soap used by
the first white he met. and when he
got To Franz Josef land, and entered a
house for the first time, he could de-
tect The odor OF almost everything N
the house. These facts would seem to
indicate that the senses were capable
Of very ready cultivation.

Ancient Signaling.

The fabulous honor of being the first
inventor of the art of signalling is be-
slowed by certain classical writer's up
on the ingenious Palamedes, says a
writer in Cornhill Magazine. This hero
may have introduced improvements in
detail, but it is certain that long be-
fore the time of the Trojan war the
Egyptians and Assyrians, if not the
Chinese and other nations ofremote an
tiquity-of whom monumental records
alone remain to us-had developed reg
ular methods Of signalling by fire,
smoke, flags, etc.
The great wall, built by the Chinese
ages ago, and 1900 miles long. is stud
deA with towers. Between these sig
nails were interchanged when troops
had to be collected in order to resist
attack at any point threatened by the
Tartars or "outer barbarians." BY
Major Boucheraeder and others it has
been considered that the huge tower
of Babel was erected for similar as
we'll as for a number OF different pur-
poses.

The voyage of Columbus, the discov-
erer of the Spanish Main, are of more
than usual interest to-day. His second
toyage is especially interesting
He sailed from Palos, Spain, on Sept
25. 493, with II vessels and / 800 men,
discovering the island of Dominica on
the Sd of November Leaving there ne
landed on several of the Caribbee ISL
ands, and had several conflicts with
the natives. Then he coasted along
Porto Rico. and probably called in at
San Juan. so recently bombarded by
Admiral Sampson On the 25th of No
vember he reached the harbor of La
Navidad, on the coast of Hayti He
found that the colony of 43 men he
left there tthe first Spanish settlement
in the New World) had been killed by
hostile Indians. In December, on a new
site farther east, he founded Isabella,
the first European town in the New
World He explored the interior, and
in the spring set sail westward, when
he discovered the south coast of Cuba
and called it Santiago, where now, 400
years later, his fellow countrymen are
besieged by the American fleet.
