The Klondike gold placers lie il.
ground that is perennially frozen, only
the surface being thawed to a depth
of two or three feet in the heart of sum-
mer. In this respect they resemble the
gold-bearing gravels of Siberia, and the
methods of working are similar. Sum-
mer is the best time to prospect for new
leads, but excavation of the gravel,
from shafts and tunnels, can be as well
carried on in winter. The ground at
the end of shaft is softened by fire
of wood. and then attacked with the
pick. But, instead of breaking under
the blows, it mats together, and this
tendency renders gunpowder and dyna-
mite comparatively ineffective in deal
ing with the frozen mass. With any
less powerful incentive than the CLEAN
of gold to spur on his human antag-
onist, the Frost King would doubtless
win an easy victory in so desperate q
conhict.-Youth's Companion.

ELECTRIC LIGHT BLINDNESS.
A Painful Addiction Produced by In-
tense Brilliancy.

tense Brilliancy.
There is a peculiar form of eye
trouble caused by exposure of the I'M
protected eyes to an intense electric
light-especially that produced during
the fusion of metal by electricity
which has received the name of "elec-
tric-light blindness"
The trouble begins usually with a
feeling of slight pricking and irritation
as if there were fine cinders in the eyes,
and this is followed by persistent over
flow of tears, and a mistiness of the
sight as if the sufferer were in a fog.
The pain, in all but very slight attacks,
increases rapidly and there follows an
agonizing aching of the eyeballs, in.
tolerance of light, and often a most dis
tressing spasm of the eyelids. The
sight sometimes grows so dim that the
patient is nearly blind.
If this accident happens to one who
is not regularly employed in electric
smelling or drilling, but has merely
stopped to look on at the work, the
trouble is likely to be thought much
more serious than 1t really is, for the
true cause is apt to be overlooked, the
intense brilliancy of the light having
been masked more or less by the day
light.
The condition is very similar in ita
symptoms to that known as "snow
blindness" from which hunters in the
far north and Observation-Disclosures often
suffer, and it is probably an identical
affection, namely, a sunburn-in this
case an electric burn-of the conjunc-
tiva. Firemen frequently suffer in
much the same way after working for
several hours to subdue fierce confla-
grafton.
Men who are employed in electric
smelling or drilling works always pro-
tect their eyes by dark glasses, and
the Eskimos do the same by goggles
of wood with a narrow slit in the cen
ter.
The distress during an attack may be
relieved by installations of cocaine un-
der the direction of a physician, al
though this drug should not be used
when repeated attacks occur, as.in the
case of firemen, for fear of creating a
habit. After the acute Inflammation
has subsidized a simple eye-wash of cam
phor water containing little borax
in solution will usually suffice for
cure.-Youth's Companion.
