SNOW BLINDNESS.
The Way This Terrible Affection AZ
faeAa Its Victims.

The Way This Terrible AnitettoH NJ
fects Its Victims.
Snow blindness is an affection little
known through description, though not
very difficult to describe, for here the
strongest adjectives need few qualih-
cations The pain does not follow Inn
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 a lit
tie itchy and that they water II he
comes too near fire or any source OF
heat. Later they feel as II there were
a trace Of smoke in the tent. then as If
a 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 a provoking roll Of the eye
ball. At first there is dull ache, grow
ing gradually sharper until toward
morning Of a sleepless night 1t 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 affection With the
pain of which the ordinary Eskimo
cries out. The severity Of the attack
dlminlshes 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 week
or so, II 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 APP
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. II
possible. focusing them continually on
some dark object. such as black dog
In ones team. Is believed by the ma
tives 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 affection 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 an6
trying to focus the eyes upon it. The
type Of nose may have something to Dc
with the effectiveness of this scheme

Why We slscn.

The well known explanation that the
stuffiness of the atmosphere in a
church is the cause of sleepiness In
members of the congregation is. ac-
cO"dlng to the Revue Scientifque
Parisl. insufficient" If this hypothe-
sis were tenable. argues our authority,
1t is manifest that the congregation, or
those members OF 1t who react readily
to Il soporlfic agent. would go to sleep
before the sermon began. Now. it is
notorious that the sleeping is done dur
Ing the sermon. The true explanation
Is that the auditor unconsciously hyp-
notices himself or herself by concen-
trating the gaze for IL long period on n
single object. whether the countenance
of the preacher or the pulpit or what
nos. The more desperate the effort to
heed the sermon the surer this effect
of self hypnotlzation. Those who sleep
during the sermon are consequently
the very members of congregation
who are entitled to the highest praise
for their conscientious effort to follow
the words Of the Current
Literature.

The chinch bug brought llaX to Mis-

tor bean. IapancsCG clover buttcd in,
and alfalfa came as a matter Of study
This is the conclusion which George
b. Ellis, secretary OF the state board OF
agriculture, says tradition justiiics.
When the chinch buy played havoc IN
the wheat Of Missouri, the farmers
looked about for some crop which
would resist the jucursiOns OF this pest.
ilent insect They found that for some
reason the chinch bug did not or could
not live upon flax, and for a time
Southwest Missouri had many field, Of
flax. 1t Is Il difficult plant to grow,
however, hard ana costly to harvest,
and the profits in it are not large.
Hence when the chinCh bug disap.
pcarcG the cultivation Of flax began to
diminish. Now it is not largely apprc-
ciablc in the agricultural output Of
Missouri When, in the early 1Os, the
grasshopper played havoc with west
crn fields, Missouri was invaded also.
The castor bean was found by the
farmer to be the only green thing
which the grasshoppcr did not eat,
hence field upon field Of castor beans
were planted and to this day may be
seen in this section Of Missouri, more
than anywhere else in the state, fields
of this product. The-custor bean is
employed in the manufacture OF an oil,
of which most Missouri BOYS and cir Is
are familiar. Japanese clOycr came

The most sensational automobile
racing contest that was ever organized
is scheduled to start this week from
the heart OF New York city, with Paris
as the ultimate objective point. Wheth-
cr any Of the six machines ever com
pletcs the course is probcmatical, as
difficulties never before encountered
will bcsct the travellers and unknown
conditions await them in the frozen
regions oi Alaska and Siberia. Here
toforc the eking-to.Pa race in
which some of the present contestants
were entered was the record for auto
mobile endurance. However, that race
was easy and uncvcntful compared
with this later undertaking, which in
cludes trip through the frozen re-
gions of Bcring strait.
The six cars entered represent
France, Italy, Germany and America,
three of them being from France, one
from Germany and one is owned in
this country, From New York the
racers will travel westward to San
Francisco, where the cars will be put
aboard a steamer and transported to
Valdez, Al aska, whence they will pro-
ceed to Nome and 90 down the Yukon
river to Bering strait. 1t is expected
! that the adventurous will travel down
/ the Yukon on the ice, as that stream
will he frozen over until the latter part
Of May. Perhaps the greatest diff
Guilty of the entire trip will be encoun-
tered in trying to cross Bcring strait.
The scheme cOntempIates crossing on
the ice, but those who are familiar
with that lonely part of the world
aver that such a crossing will be i'm
possible as Bering strait is never
frozen completely over and that there
is always Il narrow area Of clear water
where the tides rush with tremendOu,
force. 1t such a condition is found tC
exist steamer will probably he re
quired to ferry the cars across.
In the dreary and roadless wastes OF
Siberia the racers will be many days
without means Of communication will
the outside world and they may suifel
great hardships from lack OF supplies
The entire trip from New York tt
Paris, if any Of the machines succeed
in making il. will consume perioC
variously estimated at from six to nine
mouths. In all probability the car
will remain close together until Siberis
is reached, when the element Of speet
will enter into the contest.
OF course nothing important t,
science is expected to result from thi
mad adventure. Ii is II matter G
sportmarship pure and simple, and
anyone succeeds in getting through t
Paris be will be the hero of the mOtO
world until somebody else hits upO
a more perilous scheme Of showing cr
durance Yet the pluck that prompt
( racers to tempt Death in such an III
\ dertaking is more or less admirable
