Ping-Pong Causes Diseases of Eye

Diseases with strange names have
followed in the wake of ping-pong, but
the real pang is not fanciful one. for
the watching of the celluloid sphere
really strains the eyes.
There Is a ping-pong wrist, OF course
and ping-pong back, but the players
who can return ball hundred times
or so suffers comparatively little from
these. The tyro who bends often to
pick up the balls which bound upon
the carpet is the one who is most like
ly to complain OF tendosynovitis.
In time he learns, however, to make
the optical nerves save the eXertions
of the muscles. Then he requires a
ping-pong eyeglass.
Physicians say that many ping-pong
players suffer from an inflammation of
TIE eye, and champion players adj
their testimony to these ailments.
The constant watching Of the ball is
liable to cause headaches, or, in other
words, to cause irritation to spread
from the over-worked optical muscles
The ping-pOng eye Is often bloodshot.
The only way to cure 1t is stop play
ing and to give the overworked eye a
chance to rest. This the ping-pong
deyOtee objects to doing. When he be-
comes absorbed in the game he per-
sists in playing it in season and out
of season.
Thre are many ping-pong tables
which served originally in dining
rooms. The man who plays upon
them is prone to contract the ping

Facts About Uncle Sam'sPos Office

Washington, May 24.-As a result OF
many requests received at the Post
Office Department the Third Assistant
Postmaster General has issued a
pamphlet entitled Postal Statistics of
the United States-from 1875 to 1902"
It contains much that is of interest
particularly as showing the remarkable
growth of the country since the Revo-
luton.
In 1859 there were only seventy-fve
post offices established, the length OF
the post routes being 2275 miles and the
gross revenue of the Department being
only $3.50. The expenditures for the
same year were 1880 and of this only
sl657 was paid in salaries to postmas-

There were in 1901, 1854 post Offices

Especial to the Bulletin.)


Washington, d. c., May 19.-Ad.
vFnce proofs of Census Bulletin No.
,69, dealing exhaustively with agricul.
ture and farm conditions in Hawaii,
have been Issued today. The following
extracts bring out some new points
ana features which will be of interest
throughout the Territory:
Cereal Crops.
The cultivation Of rice is carried on
most extensively on the island of Ga.
hu, where 2O,99S,GOO pounds. or G2.S
per cent OF the total crop OF 1899, were
S:own. The Island OF hauai produced
Cos per cent of the remainder OF the
crop. The average yield per acre in
1899 was 3GG2.9 pounds, and the aver.
age values. A. cents per pound and
Sl7l.O9 per acre. On the Island of Ga.
ru the average yield per acre was g..
CS7.7 pounds, while individual Yields
ian considerably above that figure.
These high average yields result from
the fact that the uniformly warm eli.
mate of the Territory permits two
crops 90 be grown on the same land in
a twelvemOnth. The industry Is al.
most wholly in the hands of the Chi.
reese, who, for the most part, use the
crudest of implements and employ the
most laboriOus methods. Although a
considerable quantity is exported the
major portion is consumed on the isl.
ands, being In great demand in the
rorulous Chinese districts.
The only other cereal raised to any
O. tent is corn. The acreage devoted
to this crop in 1899 was 1873 per cent
Of the total cultivated area exclusive
OF that planted in sugar cane. The av-
GRACE yield per acre was 35S bushels
and the average values, 500 cents per
bushel and s2O.36 per acre. Attempts
to introduce other grains have met
with slight success.
Tobacco and Forage.
Tobacco is the most important of the
minor crops grown in the Territory.
The % acres devoted to this crop in
1899 produced 5O.410 pounds, or an av.
erage yield per acre of 2,l91.7 pounds
The total value of the crop, which
brought an average price of 10.1 cents
per pound, was s5,10l, or an average
return per acre OF s221.7S. Almost the
entire crop is grown on tile Island OF
Hawaii, and consists OF a coarse, dark,
excessively strong variety, although
attempts at growing improved grades
indicate that the industry might DO
greatly developed.
Systematic methods for the cultiva.
ton of forage crops have not been
generally adopted among stock rails
ers. In few cases alfalfa, sorghum
etc, are grown for forage purposes,
but only to a very limited extent.
Many rich grasses grow readily on the
Islands, but owing to the frequent
rains the crop is generally spoiled in
the curing process.
Coffee.
The production of coffee in 1899 was
the largest in the history OF the isl.
ands. From 6,451 acres of land. on
which were S,225,743 bearing trees,
Product of 2,297OOO pounds was secur.
ed. The number of trees here given
includes a great many young trees
which had just come into bearing and
yielded only a small crop. Conse.
