"A Partisan opthalmologistsay that
the incandescent electric light is the
least harmful to the eyes of all artificial
light. Next comes the light of good
kerosene lamp, after that candles, and
the worst of all is ordinary gas light.
To the average eye not more than
1000 stars are visible; some persons
having extraordinarily strong eyes can

The oil glands of the skin are most
numerous in races living under the
tropics, because the Oil is natures pro-

"A curious illustration of the power
of light matter to perforate more sub
stantial substances, when driven at
high velocity, occurred in the Royal ar
senal, England. A cast iron target
plate, one inch thick, was placed rs feet
in front. at an angle of IS degrees, in
order to break up everything into dust
and throw it upwards. A clay plug,
weighing 7iA ounces, perforated an inch
iron plate.
That birds build their nests by i'm
itation has been called in question by
Mr.. a. G. Butler, of London. who says
that tic reason why many of them at
the beginning of the season trif!e with
building material for some time before
they produce a satisfactory result is
that tAey are unable at once exactly to
remember what the character of the
nest was in which they first saw the
light of day.
The great vitality of dragon flies is
shown by McLachland, who having
struck at a large Eschna ait rest on a
twig, the head was seen to tumble down,
while the rest of the insect flew away in
an undecided manner for a consider
able distance. Upon picking up the
head he noticed that the insect had
been eating a fly at the time "The
mandibles continued working as if
nothing had happened, and the masti-
Gated portions of the fly passed out at
the back of the head"

for the visitors were not permitted to
get q man over the plate safely.
Nor doss the row OF goose eggs which
ornamented the Rochester score at the
END of tho game mean that the visitors
didn't play good ball. Indeed, they put
up a stiff contest and ia the earlier Inn
