The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1900-10-05

People speak of their eyes being tired,
meaning that the retina or seeing por-
ton of the eye is fatigued, but such is
not the case, as the retlna hardly ever
gets tired. The fatigue is In the inner
and other muscles attached to the eye
ball, and the muscle of accommodation
which surrounds the lens Of the eye.
When near object Is to be looked at
this muscle relaxes and allows the lens
to thicken, increasing Its refractlve
power. The inner and outer muscles
are used In covering the eye on the OBJ
ject to be looked at, the inner one he
ing especially used when near object
is looked at. 1t is in the three muscles
mentioned that the fatigue is felt, and
relief is secured temporarily by closing
the eyes or gazing at far-distant OBJ
jects.
The usual indication Of strain Is a
redness of the rim of the eyelid, be-
tokening congested state of the inner
surface, accompanied by some pain.
Sometimes this WEAKNESS indicates the
need of glasses rightly adapted to the
person, and in other cases the true
remedy is to massage the eye and its
surroundings as far as may be with the
hand wet In cold water.-Phlladelphla
Ledger.

Greatest Docks in the World.

The marine docks at Portsmouth, En-
gland. are the largest In the world Gov
ering more than 800 acres and employ.
ing some 10000 men. Two of the larg-
est docks are 600 feet long and 50
broad. All are what is known as stone
craving docks. They are dug out of
sufficient depth, length and width to
enable vessels of a certain size TO be
admitted. They are constructed OF
granite and fitted with heavy gates;
the vessel is fioated into the dock and
properly shored up on the keel blocks
the gates are closed-the water then
pumped out. Such docks are below
the level Of the dockyard. The walls
are built with stairs like the seats In
an amphitheater, so that workmen may
go up and down, and great cranes lift
ing forty tons are used in handling ma
terials. When a vessel is completed all
that Is necessary to launch her is to
open the gates, fill the dock and she
floats out without risk or trouble. The
advantage of number of docks at q
station is the readiness with which q
small vessel may be put into a small
dock and large vessel into large
one at once, this being done with Sc
much economy of time and labor
