HURTS THE EYES.
Effect Of Electric Arc Light Some
times ls Injurious.

That Inflammation of the eyes,
sometimes caused by the electric arc
light, Is due to the Invisible ultraviolet
rays was asserted by Dr. Schanz and
DR. Stockhausen In a discussion at
the Congress- of German Naturalists
and Physicians last autumn at Ores
len. Says the Druggists Circular:
1T had been proved that the short
est Of these rays do not extend very
far from the light, but as those with
waves longer than 212 micromillime-
ters still extend 20 feet and more from
the arc before they are absorbed by
the air, 1t ia evident that these actin
ic rays. which, begin with the wave
length Of about $50 micromillimeters
are of considerable practicable impor-
lance to all those who have to work
at or near arc lights. Hitherto 1t has
been thought that plate OF glass be-
fore the eye was sufficient protection
from these ultraviolet rays. but the
case shown by the speaker showed

Imaginary Necessities.

Were 1t not for the thousands of
people who are slaves to imaginary
necessities we might have avoided the
panic OF last October" says a writer

indirectly who brought 1t on. 1t was
these people who suffered most when
1t came. The laws of nature are iron
in their retribution. The man who is
earning $50 a week and spending SIS
does not fear panics. Neither does
the man who is earning $4,000 a
year and spending $4,000. Sailors

People who do not know how to cut

cording to Metchnikoff. Is due in the

The homeopathic idea enters into
the Metchnikovian treatment. The
Russian argues that the acids OF his
sour milk wholly neutralize the artery
deposits due to other causes, and that
the essential fatty matter In the milk
provides permanent reconstruction
of the worn tissue of the arteries.
It is worthy of note that Metchni.

however, are of sponge-like sub
