MANY VIRTUES OF EYEGLASSES
Are Cure for Seasickness and Perhaps
for Insanity.

From the London Leader
Between eyeglasses and worry there
seems no intimate connection; yet the first
may often be a corrective of the second
Even NAL de mer may yield to a pair of
spectacles. Suicide and insanity may re-
suit from the want of them.
This is not a quack medicine advertise
ment 1t is statement of fact, based on
the evidence of an expert.
Writing in the Lancet, Ernest Pronger,
ophthalmic surgeon to Harrogate Instf-
tute, points out that though many people
suffer from worry, few break down under
It, The cause of the breakdowns that do
occur, he Is convinced, from careful obser-
walton, are in many cases errors in refrac-
ton.
He once prescribed glasses for the cor
regional astigmatism in q medical man,
who had up to that time believed that his
eyes were normal Soon afterward the pa
tient went to Ireland. and in spite Of a
rough journey and the fact that he had al
ways been liable to violent seasiekness. he
was not on that occasion seasick The
medical man attributed his exemption
from the dreaded malady to wearing the
glasses. The motion of the sea-" says
Mr. Pronger was not by itself sufficient
TO upset him, the additional influence OF
that slight error of refraction having been
removed" The same subject was also a
great sufferer from train sickness, "a not
uncommon result of astigmatism." But
now he has only to wear glasses and no
express has power over him.
In another patient the nervous system
completely broke down He believed that
he could see quite well. He went through
various courses Of treatment without get
ting better. Then MI Pronger prescribed
spectacles. From that day forward the
patient became gradually restored to
health.
From his experience of the symptoms
and conditions which are the effect of I'M
corrected errors of refraction, and which

sideration for the theory that 1t is defect

prisoners were assisted by confederates on
the outside. On the second floor, too, there
Will be the telephone station for both the
city and yard lines, bed rooms for the
telephone operators and toilet room.
In, addition to being a telephone and time
station and naval prison, the structure will
be the headquarters for the navy yard fire
department. On the first or ground floor
will be the hook and ladder truck, chem
ical fire engines, fire reels and other para
phernalia used by the navy yard fire COM

The usefulness of the new building will
be further enhanced by the fact that 1t will
be used as the navy yard post office, where
the mails will be received and distributed.
An official of the yard said to a Star re-

named 1t would be hyphenized as follows:

the naval officers say it will add greatly to
the beauty of the navy yard, which IS

heard throughout the establishment. This

Japanese Variety Of Great Value in

trance to the yard, which is known as the
central watch box" This was built in 1874
and cost 81 800 In this little building at
all times is detail of marines and watch
men, while it is also headquarters for the
force of navy yard guides The watch box
also serves as central for the telephone
system in the yard. the marines being the
operators. They also ring the bell at the
small building which announces the time
of day to the thousands OF employees IN
the big naval establishment.
Whether the present watch box Will be
RACED or removed to some other part OF the
navy yard and used for other purposes
has not yet been decided.
The new building will be two stories
high and will contain five large rooms. It's
dimensions will be about q feet in height,
so feet in length and 80 feet wide.
On the top or second floor VIII be ten

but the materials are much finer in texture
and more easily handled than the old-fash-
Toned kind. The regular japanese mating,
however, Is really a thing OF beauty, and be-
sides being used as covering for floors is
put to other uses not dreamed of by the
methodical housekeepers of the good old
times, who put down their strips of shiny
squares In May and took them up in Sep

This Japanese mating, while not particu-
larry inexpensive. costing at 1t does 20
cents a yard of 40 cents IL purchased in
the piece of forty yards, has the advan-
tage of wearing remarkably well. 1t is soft
and pliable, and when the strips are sewed

ring out when there Is n confla gra ton or
other calamity in the yard.
The present prison facilities of the navy
yard is small guard room at the main
gate, where the marine guard is stationed.
This is regarded too insecure for the in
generation of general prisoners, such as
deserters, mutineers and the like, and Is
generally used for the brief Imprisonment
of marines and sailors who have violated
some Of the navy laws by overstaying their
leaves, missing roll call, etc.
The necessity of a naval prison was felt,
it is said. away back in war times. when
President Lincoln was assassina ted. 1t is
recalled that at that time it became neces-
sary to confine some Of the conspira tors on
iron-clad which was lying In the dock
off the yard owing to the absence of suit

1t is the expectation of the naval officers
on duty at the gun factory and navy yard
that the handsome combination building

MAN AND MONKEY
Drown Easily Because the Peculiar
PHYSIQUE Makes Them Marks.

From the Kansas City Journal
eff half the people who knew how to
swim knew the proper way to rescue d
drowning person there would be very le"
fatalities from that cause, SAID Chafies
FITZGERALD, an expert swimmer, perform
Ing at Forest Park. Man and monkey, pS
reason of their peculiar physical construc-
ton are the two animals In the world tha'
will most readily succumb II thrown lhto
deep water. Nearly all other four-ilnpeo
animals. as soon as they find themselves
in water, work out their own salvation Dy
striking out for the nearest shore. ms Is
made possible by the fact that every othef
four-limbed animal is incapable of raising
its fore-members above It's head. Both man
ana monkey can, and invariably 90 so,
thereby forcing their bodies beneath tho
surface and giving their near relati'es
cause for sorrow.
They always grasp for the proVerpiaA
straw and that is the cause OF their uh-
doing. If person, finding himself SUD
denly projected into the water, would have
presence of mind enough to keep his hanus
at his side swimmer would have haroiy
any trouble towing him ashore. There ~
an old saying that a drowning person Will
catch hold of person attempting to res
cue him and hold on even after death Ihat
Is all nonsense. l will let any drowning
person catch me any way he wants 10.

hands above my head and both OF us Will
sink Then he Immediately releases his
hold and starts propelling himself to the
surface again. Then he would be very near
ly exhausted and there is nothing to 1t.
Make a crotch with either of your arms
and slip 1t under his chin, drawing just
his face and nostrils out of the water Your
elbow will keep the water from dashing in
his face. That leaves you both feet and one
hand to swim with, and as he is floating
and that he is safe. 1t is an easy mat
ter then to paddle to shore"
Continuing, Fitzgerald said: There are
several yarns attached to rescuing people
they would do If a person started to strug
gle and caught hold of them, frequently
answer that they would knock him out.
Now, In the first place, it is impossible TO
hit person in vulnerable spot when
only the tip of his nose or the top OF his
head shows above the water. Secondly. you
sannot steady yourself In the water to de-
liver a hard enough blow to knock person
out. You would only jeopardize what little
chance you had OF Saving him by knock
ing him over sideways, or sending him to
the bottom. You have no doubt, heard
some time or another that the way certain
parties learned To swim was by being push
ed into deep water by their big brothers. or
by the bully of the gang. This tale bears
the same stamp as the preceding one-'a lie
out of whole cloth'-and 1t will be well not
TO teach swimming in that way, unless you
court death at the end of 8. rope.

In a few days ground will be broken at
the Washington navy yard for a handsome

said there is not another of its kind in the
United States
The need of such a building has long
been felt at the Washington navy yard,
and after persistent efforts to have Con-

for that purpose was appropriated in the
