game and vegetables of the eastern
shore. This biggest of the markets is the
Center market, which occupies two Of
the most sitely squares in the center Of
the city not far from the Pennsylvania
railroad station and which pays the Dis
trict Of Columbia a yearly rental of ST.
600 for the plot under 99-year lease.
That is about as profitable proposition
as anybody could ask for. A rental
of 100000 for those particular squares
would rot be an unreasonable price, but
the District has to grin and bear it. At
the time the Center market was es-
tablish it was really something of an
achievement for the District to lease the
land at all, so that perhaps nobody after
all has been seriously wronged. An in
teresting feature of the markets here, not
only the Center market, but the others,
is the great number of typical southern
darkies who have stands on the. streets
adjoining. These sable vendors have oc-
cupied their stands, coming In from the
country early in the morning yearin and
year out, until they have proscriptive
right and nobody would ever think OF
ousting them. They form picturesque
body which makes it we'll worth the
while of northern visitor to stroll about
the markets along about daybreak, be-
fore the business of the streets has be-

absorbs the heat from the wire coils
and prevents the wire from reaching

cludes:
The pressure of the air upon the re-
sistance coils revolving in it is almost
uniform at every point. When the fan
turns and a current of electricity is
passed through the coils, very lively

from the mouth of the casing. In the

TOBACCO BLINDNESS.
Chief Trouble In This Disease IL
Traceable to the stomach as
the Primary Source.

British oculist has called attention
to new and indirect method of treat
ing tobacco blindness, and notes the
extraordinary fact that the chief trou-
bic in this disease is traceable to the
stomach as the primary source. Excess
slve smoking, as is we'll known, causes
in many individuals partial and some-
times total blindness. Tobacco blind
| ness (and also the failure of vision
which comes from the excessive use
OF alcoholic beverages) is remarkable
because of the absence of any change
in the structure of the eye itself
! Microscopic examination in these
cases has disclosed peculiar alterations
in the ganglion cells of the retina, and
these changes were formerly believed
to have been produced by the poison
OF the tobacco itself. Three years ago
Philadelphia physician published the
opinion that the alteration in the cells,
followed by failing vision, was not
produced by the nicotine itself, but by
poisons which the nicotine created in
the system. These secondary poisons,
finding their way to the eye, modified
the cells in the retina, this modifica-
ton being followed by inadequate
power of vision OF by loss of vision al
together
With this original suggestion for a
starting point, other observers took up
the investigation, with the result that
the seat of the trouble has been To-
Gated This is found to lie in the
stomach. Nicotine disturbs the nor
NAL function of the stomach, and in
stead of healthy digestion, the
smoker has veritable poison factory
in his gastric region. Instead of treat
ing the eye, therefore, the new method
goes at once to the stomach and at
tempts to stop the manufacture Of
poisons in that important organ.
Several interesting cases are re-
ported Of complete cures by this
method. One patient, an excessive
smoker, whose eyes were rapidly fall
ing, was treated for Indigestion The
stomach was pumped out and found to
contain evidences of gastritis. The
mans diet was corrected, his tobacco
cut off, and other remedies of a hy-
SleHlc kluu were dpplleQ. In q rev
weeks the blindness had disappeared.
These facts seem to clear up the
mystery attaching in general to to-
bacco blindness. Some men can smoke
to excess without impairing the eyes.
while others are affected in that way
by much smaller quantity of smok-
ing. This anomaly can be understood
when it is remembered that it is the
stomach and not the eyes upon which
the nicotine acts directly. Some stom-
achs can resist the poison making
force of the tobacco; others cannot,
and it is those whose stomachs are
affected by the use of the weed that
suffer blindness. Smokers should
therefore have an eye to their digestion.
