WHY You "See Stars"

If you are one Of those who frequent
the police courts, you have no doubt
often heard the victims Of assaults de-
clare that their assailants hit them SO
hard that it made them "see stars"
And, indeed, the sensation which you
experience from violent blow on the
head resembles very much the sight Of
stars. The fact is, there is phospho-
rescent power In the eye, which shows
itself when the head Is struck violent
ly, and is often perceived even in the
act of sneezing. The jar to the system
caused by the blow produces press
ure of the blood vessels upon the re-
tina, causing either total darkness or a
faint blue light which floats before
the eye, and in which the imagination
discovers thousands of fantastic
figures, the majority Of which resem:
BILE stars.

Hay in Round Bales Now.

Hay as we'll as cotton Is put up now
adays in cylindrical bales, standard
round hay bale being eighteen inches
in diameter and thirty-six inches in
length. Such a bale packed at the
pressure under which it would be put
up for domestic use would weigh about
200 pounds; as packed for export such
bale would contain about 275pounds.
There is put up for army use bale of
the same diameter, but only eighteen
inches in length, which contains ap-
proximately 14O pounds Of hay.
In the cylindrical bale given guam
tity Of hay is got into less than half
the space that it would occupy in a
square bale, and including freedom
from mould, preservation of the sweet
ness Of the hay and greatly reduced
combustibility.
I Thousands of tons of hay in cylindrl.
cal bales have beeL shipped to the
American army in the Philippines.
and large quantities Of it have been
used by the British army in South
Africa.
