Photographic the Eye.

A satisfactory reproduction of such
n restless and delicate subject as tho
human eye has hitherto been consid-
cred beyond the power of the average
amateur photographer, but DIR. Mad
dox, late assistant ophthalmie surgeon
to the Edinburgh Royal infirmary, has
realized the value of records of eye
operations. and experiments in photo
graphing the eye have lately been made
in Edinburgh with fair amount of sue
cess. One of the usual tests is the OBJ
servation of certain reflections in the
camera and pupil produced by a SYM
metrical object held in front of the
eye. The degree az distortion and the
reflection or displacement from is
normal position determine with accuI-
acy the state OF vision and form the
basis of subsequent operations, Photo
graphs of these reflections are now be-
ing made to guide the ophthalmic spe-
cialiSts in their diagnoses.

DEADLY AIR BUBBLES.

envy has no respect for the Geneva
convention, and is using the terrible
explosive bullets which no civilized
nation uses nov Surgeons who know
their business are, says Answers, well
aware OF the explanation of this mis-
take. The explosive effects Rre due TO
the air which the bullet drives before
