II derives from its elasticity. Just so
the mind, kept from day to day in the
same ideas. without variety. So the
eyes. when they look only at one OBJ
ject or continually upon one color.
For, to look continually at thing
which Is black. or continually at red
or at white. destroys the sight. Thus
II one looks continually at the snow
the sight Is destroyed. but it is en-

when Gibbon was twenty-seven. he
was thirty-one before he set himself
seriously at work to study his mate

position, and he was thirty-nine when,
in February. 1916. the first quarto vol
ume was published. The history had
an immediate success. MY book he
wrote, was on every table; the his
torian was crowned by the taste or
fashion Of the day" The first edition
was exhausted in few days. second
was printed 1776. and next year a
third. The second aud third volumes,
which ended the history of the west
ern empire. were published In 1881,
and seven years later the three vol
umes devoted to the eastern empire
saw the light. The last sentence Of
the work. written in the summer house
at Lausanne, is: 1T was among the

years of my life, and which. however
