A story is told of a sudden rage uito
which Napoleon l. fell one day as be
was at dinner. He had scarce partaken
of a mouthful when apparently some
inopportune thought or recollection
stung his brain to madness, and. reed.
Ing from the table without rising from
his chair-his small stature permitted
that-he uplifted his foot-dash went
the table, crash went the dinner. and
the emperor sprang up, intending TO
pace the room. Quick as flash his
waiter scratched a few magic symbols
on a bit of paper. and the emperore
check had grown more than double.
Napoleon appreciated the delicacy OF
his attendant and said, THANK you,
my dear Dunand," with one of his I'm.
lmitable smilea The hurricane had
blown over.

A Blind Spot In the Eye.

1t is remarkable that although
the optic nerve is of all parts of the
eye the most sensitive to light, yet
should an object fall on it as we
look around us-and some object
must always be thrown on tit is
invisible to us, and in our field of
vision there is in reality a gap,
though in ordinary sight the sur
rounding edges of this gap draw up
together and SO fill it. But by clos,
ing one eye by practice one may
actually force the object which is
reflected on to the optic nerve to
disappear completely from the field
of vision. Bernstein tells US that
even the sun itself can be made to
disappear if it falls exactly on the
blind spot where the optic nerve en-
ters the eye. This may account for
the fact that some people can close
one eye and stare the summer sun
without wincing.
