NIGHT BLINDNESS.
a Condition In Which the Vision
Fails as Daylight Fades.

Night blindness is a condition il
which vision is perfect, or fairly SO. il
daylight, but fails with the setting OF
the sun and is not restored under ordi
nary conditions of artificial illumiDa
ton. The sufferer from night blind
ness can usually see the light of a can
die or lamp when he looks directly a.
it, but he cannot read even when the
light is thrown directly upon the page
Usually, however, he sees well in &
room lighted brilliantly with electric
fly. the degree of illumination then ap
preaching that of sunlight
The cause OF night blindness is be
Ieyed to be an exhausting of the power
of vision by too great light. for it oe
ours mainly among soldiers and sailors
in the tropics, who are exposed fol
many hours to the glare of the sun, anc
among arctic explorers, whose eyes are
dazzled by reflection from the snow
On shipboard it is often associated
with seurvy, and persons who are de
pressed physically or mentally or II
any other way run down. are more
likely TO suffer than the strong
Sailors have a superstition that the
trouble is due TO imprudence in sleep
ing on deck in the moonlight, and this
belief is embodied in the term moor
blink by which they call it. The
tropical moon is probably as guiltless
in this respect as it is in the produe
ticn of insanity.
The only treatment for night blind
ness is keeping away from bright light
or protecting the eyes with goggles OF
a bandage until the exhausted retina
has recovered its tone.-Youth's Com

M'CARREN TO RESIGN

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Primaries
throughout Greater New York will be held
tomorrow and the interest centers in the
borough of Brooklyn. There the leader
ship of State Senator McCarren is in the
balance and the fight promises to be a
bitter one from the opening of the polls
The labor leaders of Brooklyn today
served notice on State Chairman Cord
Meyer that Senator McCarren would have
to resign as chairman of the state eXecu-
tive committee. If he is not promptly
dropped from Democratic councils the Ia
Dor men saysthat 100000 Democrats iden-
titled with the building trades will vote
against Parker and Davis They had pre-
viously written to Chairman Meyer. To-
day they called upon him as a committee
to emphasize their demands. He gave
them no definite reply.
The primary election this year means
more to the Republicans than usual owing
to the fact that under Coy. Odell's plan
to strengthen the organization in New
York county the size of the county COM
mittee has been doubled and the members
will be elected tomorrow. The only dis
trict in which the issue is at all in doubt
on the Republican side is the Twenty

GRAIN CROP BETTER
THAN ANTICIPATED
Reports From North Dakota
That Harvest Is Good and
Men Few

The harvest of wheat in North Dakota
is much better than it first appeared to
be, according to letters that are being re-
ceived daily by the Great Northern road
These letters come from scattered sec
tions of the state and indicate that there
is considerable shortage of men to ham
die the crop and manipulate the threshers
Some of the grain, too, is said to be
running much heavier to the acre than
was at first thought possible, in view OF
the prevalence of black rust.
One letter, from Reynolds a small town
on the line of the Great Northern, IN
quired for 100 men in hurry to help
thresh the crop.
Grain in that locality was reported to be
far above expectations

NEW SLEEPING CARS
FOR NORTHERN PACIFIC
The Rolling Stock Is Among the Finest
Seen In the West

Two Of the handsome sleepers built for
the Northern Pacific company have been
delivered and another pair of the great
cars is expected today or tomorrow.
The new sleepers are finished in
smooth and artistic manner in the natural
color of the wood, and in the interiors the
appearance of the combination of beauti-
fully blended colors is restful to the eye.
The upholstery of the Mondamin, which
was in the yards of the road yesterday,
is in dull green. The woodwork is ma
hogany without a varnish finish and en-
tirely lacking in the odd gingerbread
carvings that causes so much merriment
from European travellers.
The cars have all the late improvements
for the comfort of travellers and will run
regularly on the North Coast limited.
