WHY EYESIGHT FAILS
INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FIRE.
ouENTLY THE CAUSE.

H.u.minant. OF the Past, One and All.
Have Scrious Drfects-Acetylene Gss,
With Its Clear. Unwavering, Yet Soft
Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes.
New York. June 20.--No one can go
into our schools or meet group of
children on the street without noticing
how large a number of them wear
spectacles. The proportion seems to
increase yearly, and there are many
more who ought to wear glasses. The
experience of one teacher might be du-
plicated by the score. She knew Alice
was inattentive and she thought she
was unusually stupid. She said so
to the principal and sent a note to
the mother, requesting that the child
be helped at home if she wished her
to keep up with her class. Ore day
after blackboard explanation, the
teacher called upon the child and found
that she had not seen what had been
written. She was kept after school
and by dint of much sympathetic ques-
toning Miss G. found that Alice had
never been able to see what was put
on the board and that her head had
ached so often and so hard that she
frequently failed to hear what was
said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack of proper food, but in our Ameri-
can homes it is usually due to the poor
quality of the artificial light. The vel
low, insufficient light of the ordinary
kerosene lamp. with its smoky CHM
nay, is about as. bad for the eyes as
can be imagined. The Pickering light
from coal gas jet is but little better.
ard even the electric light. brilliant
as it usually is, has an unsteadiness
due to variations in power. and a glare
peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves
of sight. The comparatively new il
luminant acetyfene gas produces MS
nearly perfect an artificial light as has
yet been found. 1t gives clear white.
unwavering light, very brilliant, vet
perfectly soft, and so nearly like the
rays of the sun that even colors ap-
pear as in daylight.
Fortunately, acetycne is very easily
and cheaply produced. and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes. churches,
schools and institutions of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that as
its use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes. particu-
larly among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
Ae use of this new illuminant.

MapIe SUGAR In Tons.

Some idea of the magnitude of the
maple sugar industry as carried on In
Vermont may be had from the fact
that at the single station of East
Berkshire Herman Chaffee loaded
twenty-five tons of the sweet and A.
]. Croft loaded eight At the same
time one buyer alone has gathered up
over forty tons of sugar and two car
loads of sirup. The banner sugar
maker of this section is Norman Hoga-
boom OF South Richmond, who has
produced 1880 pounds from 1000
trees and sold the whole for $677.70.

conscious of the fact that the bride
had not arrived. Instead of stopping
him the bridegroom, best man and
others remained silent from sheer
nervousness and presently, when the

delayed, hurriedly entered. The father
quantity apologized by saying: "Ex-
cuse me for interrupting; some mis-.

followed and the service was begun

AT the annual commencement of the
Maryland Agricultural College DR.. Ira
Remsen, president of the Johns Hopkins
University, was the star of the first mag
nitude. He made the address to the
graduates, and in vein that pleased
everybody. He referred to his expert
ence as farmer, and claimed that the
most important lesson he learned from
practical agriculture was the fact that
one must come in contact with nature
10 learn about the same-it cannot be
learned from books. He then entered
upon an explanation of science, and
claimed that the laboratory methods, as
introduced by the great Liebig, had revo-
lutionized educational methods. Rem
sen said he had studied one year under
Liebig and considered him one of the
greatest men who ever lived. He claim
ed that the idea that science and religion
are opposed TO each other is a mistaken
idea, and that scientific research has
strengthened the cause of chemistry. The
address lasted an hour and half, and
the audience was interested throughout,
