Jules Verne's blindness.

The news Of Jules Verne's blindness will
darken the world for many of us who can
see. He is now an old man of seventy
three years, and he has lived long enough
to see fulfilled many forecasts Of his early
works. We cannot yet travel from earth
to the moon," but we can go around the
world in less than eighty days. The "Ad-
ventures of Capt. Hatteras almost passed
into reality with the story of Nansen. No
ship has yet been built that can go for
twenty thousand leagues under the sea, :"
but the secret of the submarine vessel has
been solved, and it's power is now only a
question of degree. In two books-"Fiye
Weeks in a Balloon" his earliest work
and 1.-The Clipper of the Clouds" one of
his later group-Jules Verne has foreshad-
owed that victory over the air which, to
judge from Santos-Dumont's experiments,

bestowed her greatest reputed gift upon

recognition of his peculiar Imaginative gifts
and his foresight might even assuage the
pangs of the terrible indiction which has
now overtaken him.

Tea and Theme.

From the London Chronicle
Theme Is known to most people as the
active principle Of tea, or that substance
which confers upon the cup its cheering
and stimulating properties. Caffein is the
analogous principle of coffee. although this
latter substance also occurs In tea Some
investigations into the development Of
theme show that II is In the skin or cover
ing Of the leaves of the plant In their young
state that the active principle is best de-
veloped. have always been given to un-
derstand that the young shoots thus amply
provided with theme. and representing the
finest of the crop, are sent to Russia. where
they fetch a high price. What we get In
this country is presumably the older leaf,
with. / should say, less theme. and good
deal more tannin. 1t would be interesting
to know what proportions of theine and tam
min exist in some OF the cheap teas that are
so largely consumed by the British public
Theme itself is nerve stimulant OF un-
doubted power. but the quantity we get In
our cups is, of course, infinitesimal. Some
times. should say. 1t Is SO microscopic In
amount as to render 1t doubtful whether
we can be cheered at all by the tea tray
