Children Unnecessarily Blind.

1t is an astonishing fact, and one not
generally known, that one quarter OF
all the children in the blind schools OF
tins country are needlessly blind. These
children are doomed to lifelong dark
ness because at the time of birth their
ewes were not properly washed and treat
ed by the attending physician or mid
wife. The cause of this preventable
blindness is ophthalmia neonatorum
(ophthalmia of new bornl, commonly,
known as inflammation of the eyes OF
the born" babies sore eyes, or
"cold in the eyes '-one of the most
dangerous menaces to vision when treat
ment is neglected or delayed. 1T is. a

at occurs everywhere, and no country
has yet succeeded in getting 1t under
control. -
From New York to Japan. from Japan
to Australia, from Australia to South
America. its cases are scattered. In
Mexico. it is the common cause OF blind
ness. and that country claims at least
4500 victims; in the New York State
School for the Blind, at Batavia, 30.7
per cent of the children admitted IN
1907 were victims of ophthalmia neona,,

One of the strangest fires in the his,
tory of New York city occurred there
recently when the Holy Trinity cemetery
was the scene of confagaration which
not only taxed the efforts of the fire de,
partment but also consumed several
rows of tombstones. The trouble was
discovered by small boy who hurried
excitedly to the nearest policeman with
the startling information that "de grave
ward s burnin up Never having seen
such fire the officer was skeptical until
his Youthful guide piloted him to the
cemetery wall beyond which flames could
be seen leaping from headstone. to head
stone. By the time the astonished po-
liceman had turned in an alarm and the
fire department had arrived, several doz-
en- of the memorials had been consumed.
After the fire was extinguished by CO.
pious doses of water an investigation
was made of the "stone" which burned
so readily. As a result it was discovered
that the monuments were not stone at
all, but only wooden marble and gran
lite, leaving the whole affair in reality
only pine. Four hundred dollars worth
of tombstones were consumed and it the
person from whom they were purchased
can be located he is likely to find the
matter serious one.
