Eye-StraIn,

The interesting conclusion has been
reached by DR.. George VI. Gould. in his
Geographic Glinies,D that Browning,
DE Quincy and Carlyle all owed their
mental atiiiction to the one cause of
eye-strain. From an examination of
DE Quincey's portrait, the author be-
lieves that he had disease known
among oculists as exophoria. 1t is not
squirting, but is rather a divergence
of the eye leading to a great mus.
cular strain.
The use of opium would narrow the
pupils to the smallest diameter. This
would greatly aid in shutting out con-
fusinS rays, and would, in way.
make the vision better. SO the great
authors use of the drug may not have
resulted wholly from weakness of will.
but because he found that it fitted him
temporarily for his work.
Carlyle's sulferings find an annie
explanation in eye-strain. After each
completed work, indeed after each
busy day, he had to rest, and the ex-
haustion that overlook him sayored of
despair. Yet intellectual activity did
not tire him, but the physical labor in

A fungus that rapidly destroys wood

cities using such paving. The fungus
spreads from infected blocks to sound
ones, and the only means Of checking
it seems to be careful inspection OF all
wood before laying and the prompt re-
moyal of infected blocks.
The curious habit Of carrying live
sea anemone in each of its two claws
is ascrbed to the Melia, a genus OF

defence, and it is not clear whether the
anemones are held as means OF pro-
lection or as trap for food.
A primeval forest containing 10000

an abundance of ''red-grained" oak.

In July 1902, E. L. Furlong of the
University of California rediscovered,
on Potter Creek, in Shasta County, II
remarkable cave, which had been visit.
ed once before by ]. A. Richardson in
1878. A party from the university has
since thoroughly explored the cave, as
a part of the investigation now going
on to determine the antiquity of man
In California. The bones Of large
variety of animals have been found, in
Guiding ancient representatives of the
elephant, the tapir, the horse, the fox,
the wolf, the bear, and so on, besides a
large number of birds. 1t is remarke d
that the present mountainous character
Of that part Of California is entirely
out Of harmony with the existence of
mastodOns, elephants and tapirs. No
unquestionable relics Of man have
been found in the cave.
