Civilization and Eyesjuht.

1t Is sometimes mistakenly supposed
that primitive races have naturally
better eyesight than civilized ones.
That is not exactly true. Nature
works more slowly than that, and in
the records Of power or acuteness Of
eyesight some French artillerymen
proved to be as we'll furnished as the
most keen-sighted Arabs. Native races
often appear to have keen eyesight
simply because they know what to
look for and where to look for it. But
as soon as reading is introduced to a
race short-sightedness begins to ap-
pear with progressive frequency, and
some striking instances of this rela-
ton to cause and effect have appeared
among the school children of Egypt.

LONDON's OLD ROMAN WALL

letter to the New York Sun says. From time to
time portions of the great structure, the external
wall of defense built about the city in the fourth
fifth century, have been uncovered in digging
foundations while rebuilding streets houses.
These have rarely escaped demolition. The latest
discovery is to be preserved for the benefit of
the public.
1t is situated near Newsatc street, close to
new annex of the general postofiice. The frag
lnent, which is that of great curved bastion
is so feet long, 20 feet high and feet wide. The
present summit lies several feet below the sur
face of the ground. The whole is in wonderful
state Of preservation.

mains below the houses to-day, which are largely
built upon it as upon the securest of foundations.

There is no more important feature
about dairy barn than the ventila.
ting system. The cleanliness OF the
milk, the health OF the cows. and the
success of the whole business depends
on the proper ventilation. Ventilation
of poultry coops has been practically
solved by the use OF cloth windows.

one which requires study aud more or

seen the King system OF ventilation
which is acknowledged by experts to
be one of the best systems in opera

The inlets must be SO arranged that
the warm air will not pass out in
stead CT the cold fresh air coming In.
1t is for this reason that the inlet i!ue
should begin near the ground OIL the
outside and end near tho ceiling in
side. All that Is necessary is to have
the outer end OF the tlue several feet
