SNOW RLiNnNESS.
The Way This Terrible Afflictien Af-
fects Its Victims.

Tho Way This Terrible Affictlen Af-
fects Its Victims.
Snow blindness is an af1iction little
known through description, though not
very difficult to describe, for here the
strongest adjectives need few qualif-
cations. The pain does not follow i'm
mediately upon the straining which
seems to be its cause. After long
day of haze the traveller finds when he
gets into camp that his eyes are lit
tie itchy and that they water If he
comes too near fire or any source of
heat. Later they feel as If there were
trace of smoke in the tent, then as If
grain or two of sand had got under
the eyelids and finally as if the eye
sockets were lined with sandpaper.
Every movement of the eye causes
pain, and then the pains begin to come
without provoking roll of the eye
ball. AT first there is dull ache, grow
Ing gradually sharper until toward
morning of sleepless night it throbs
through the eyes every few seconds,
with twinges comparable to, but not
equaled by, the shooting pains of tooth
ache 1t is the only aff1iction with the
pain OF which the ordinary Eskimo
cries out. The severity of the attack
d1minishes toward the end of the first
tWenty-four hours. For the larger part
of that time the sufferer usually keeps
his tent, moaning and occasionally cry
ing out sharply, lying on his face, with
both hands covering his closed eyes to
Keep out the faintest possible light. On
the second or perhaps third day he is
able to travel, but is very nearsighted
and sees everything double. In a week
or so, If the weather is hazy or he has
no goggles, the same individual may
have another attack, but the first at
tack of the year is the most severe ap-
parently. Every attack weakens the
eyes and predisposes to further attacks,
which-so at least the Eskimos believe
finally lead to total blindness, an af-
fiction rather common among the Es-
kimos.
Keeping the eyes from strain and, if
| possible, focusing them continually on
some dark object, such as black dog
| IN ones team, is believed by the ma
| t1ves to be the chief safeguard The
same view is held by many of the roy
al northwest mounted police, whose
| duties within the arctic and on the
| plains of the northwest frequently ex-
| pose them to snow blindness. Nothing
| perhaps could more clearly bring out
| the trying nature of the aff1iction than
the fact that one or more suicides among
the policemen on spring duty in the
northwest are attributed to inability
to bear the pain of snow blindness.
Occasionally the police employ the
amusing but apparently rather effective
device Of painting the nose black and
trying to focus the eyes upon it. The
type Of nose may have something to do
with the effectiveness of this scheme.

Heat of the Sun,

It has been computed that the tenn
perature Of the surface of the sun
would be expressed by $4,000 degrees
Of Fahrenheits thermometer, or be-
tween eighty and ninety times the te,n-
perature Of boiling water. This is
about five times the highest tempera-
ture that man is able to produce by ar
tificial means. The light given off from
the surface of the sun is reckoned as
being $500 times more intense than
that of the molten metal in a Bessemer
converter, though that is of an almost
binding brilliancy. If we compare it
with oxyhydrogen flame, the sun sheds
light equal to 146 times the intensity
Of the limelight

A HAPPY DRUMMER.
He Won the Applause of the Eccen-
trio Hans Won BuIow

ne won the Applause OF the Eccen-
trio Hans Won BuIow.
Hans Won Bulow, the famous leader
and composer, was one Of the most
eccentric members of profession
wherein eccentricity is common. 1t is
related that one day, while walking the
streets of Vienna, Bulow came upon a
regimental band on its way to the cas-
tie. Immediately he ran to the middle
of the street and joined the small
boys about the drummer. Following
the band, he kept bowling to the sur
prised drummer, applauding him at
almost every beat.
"That Is rhythm! Excellent! That's
the way like to hear it!' he continued
to calculate. to the surprise of all and
to the great delight of the small boys.
Persons in the street began to recog-
nize the famous pianist and joined the
procession, SO that the band had one
of the largest audiences to which it
had ever played.
Buow listened attentively to the end
of the last piece and then made a deep
bow before the drummer and his in
strument.
"Thank you." he said. THAT was re-
freshing! That puts my nerves in good
condition again."
1t is said that when the drummer
learned who his strange admirer was
he was the proudest man in the regi.
ment.-St. Louis Republic.

When Temperance Was a Crime.

Temperance In India at the begin
ming of the English occupation was 4
crime" said a clergyman. Medical
men believed in those days that u
white man could not live in India
without drinking. They thought he
needed half pint of whisky or its
equivalent every day, and they insist
ed on his taking it. Temperance socl-
eties, total abstinence and the signing
Of the pledge were things forbidden In
India. Such things were thought In
s:rious to the white mans health out
there; hence to go in for them was to
be arrested, fined, imprisoned, banish-
ed. But today in India total absti-
nence is encouraged, for it has been
found that the abstainer stands the
heat far better than does the man who
drinks" Bulletin.

C|TY-0WNED PLANT
FOR CREOSOT|NG
IS PROPOSED
COMMISSIONED HAARER WILL
PUSH PLAN, AND FIGURES saw
INC ON PAVING WILL AMOUNT
TO $1,000 A YEAR.

Commissioner Haarer. OF the depart
ment Of public works Will ASK the
council and board OF estimates 10 take
another step In municipal ownership
next spring by establishing muhicr
pal creosoting plant for preparing paw
ing block. The initial expense Will
be but $4,000 and he believes that
the saving will mount up 10 nearly
that figure the first year.
II have looked over the SITUATION
fully and find that the city can buy
It's long leaf timber and its creosohng
oils just as cheaply as can any one
else" says Haarer. we could run
creosoting plant as easily as we run
an asphalt plant.
The cost of the municipal asphalt
plant has been only $4,000, but IL mas
saved the city about $4,000 this year
alone. We will use AT least 5o,Ooo
yards OF creosote block per year and
the saving by having our own plant
would be ten TO twenty cents per
yard, believe. The entire cost would
be made up In two years at the most.
Another advantage would be IN
getting more creosote block paving.
as II would be feasible to lay more OF
IL at a lower price"
Hearers paving work Is almost
completed for the year. He Is already
working ON paving plans for the next
season. Among the things which are
partially worked out Is scheme for
storing brick and other material early
In the season SO as 10 get an early
start on paving work and to avoid de-
laws due to insufficient deliveries.
