The prevalence of eye troubles among

cause is a mystery. The symptoms are

A specialist who was consulted ex-

whether the trouble was caused by the
living mites or by the crystals.
Some flowers exert serious influence

The French physician Cabanes gives
an interesting example of the effects
OF violets on the voice. 'At soiree in
Paris" he says. "the celebrated singer
Marie Sasse was presented with a large
bouquet Of Parma violets which had
been sprinkled with concentrated ex-
tract of the same flower. She was very
fond of violets and inhaled the perfume
eagerly. Presently she attempted TO
sing and found that her voice was en-
tirely gone. Her vocal chords were for
the time being completely paralyzed."

lives had been sacrificed and others
placed in great peril In the Greedy

TO the alleged shooting of one OF the
members by order of the commander
and acts OF cannibalism. Both inqui-
ries resulted in exoneration of all con-
cerned The loss OF our ships at Samoa
when under command OF Admiral Kim
berly (who was nominated as a member
OF the Schley court but declined TO
serve) was rightly made the subject of
court OF inquiry, for the navy regua-
tons required IL. The hurricane in
which the ships foundered was an "act
of God" as viewed through maritime
spectacles, but the fact remained that
several vessels had been lost, and the
court was convened to FIX the respon-
sibility. II was decided that Rear Ad-
miral Kimberly had done all he could
TO save them. and the heroism of him
self and sailors was brought out in
glowing colors.
Rear Admiral Sampson, 1t may be
recalled, was blown up on the Patapsco
when she was sunk by a torpedo in
Charleston harbor, and, though 1t was
not denied that she was blown up or
that Sampson had behaved with com
mendable bravery, yet the incident was
made a subject of inquiry. Result-no-

Selfridge, now retired, commanded the
Omaha off the coast of Japan in March,
1877, he was unlucky enough TO bombard
while engaged in target practice what hs
took for an uninhabited island. 1t hap
pened that ii was Inhabited and that
four natives OF the island met their
death by the bursting of a shell. Sci
fridge was made the subject of a cour,
of inquiry and then tried by court mar
tial the following year at Washington

One of the most notable cases In
point OF public interest in the affail
was that OF Commander Mccalla of the
Enterprise, who was accused OF extrems
cruelty TO his men and OF conduct un.

becoming TO a gentleman and an officer.
The Enterprise had been on a three
years cruise, and frequent acts of cru
city were alleged, some of them of the
most revolving character. McCalla took
exception To accounts of his conduct
that had appeared in print and de-
manded a court or inquiry which was
promptly granted lie thereby fore
stalled the action OF the secretary OF
the navy. But the decision of the court
resulted i'm his trial by court martial
and sentence TO loss of rank and pay
for a term of years. He was later REIN
stated and has made some amends for
his conduct by his gallant behavior in
Cuba and IN China, although he was
not long ago again the subject OF a
court OF inquiry on charges similar TO
those Of years ago. The detail for the

with Lieutenant Perry Garst as Judge
advocate. This court met in Brooklyn,
as also did that detailed to try Engineer

the findings were practically the same,
the subsequent courts martial acting
upon the evidence and suggestions sub
mitted by the courts OF inquiry. In
brief, the findings as TO evidence may
be said TO be hnal so far as the court
OF inquiry is concerned, whether there
ensue a court martial or not, for the
inquiry Is always searching, impartial

IL may not come amlss I'm this connec-
ton to mention a few of our more nota-
bic early courts of inquiry Their find
ings have not generally been made so
public as those of the courts martial
which succeeded them, but they were
equally interesting, inasmuch as their
recommendation were followed in
nearly every instance. AS already stat
ed, ordinary courts OF inquiry have
been by no means rare, yet the note
worthy ones are comparatively few.
They have occurred more frequently in
the navy, perhaps, than in the army,
but two that the authorities cite as IL
Illustrative were the courts assembled

IL is the absolute power TO summon
witnesses from all partsof the world that
makes the court appear In an arbitrary
light and causes doubt to arise II, after
all. the result will warrant the trouble
