Chief among the symptoms Of eye

ing in the morning, headache, the posi-
tion and character Of which vary with
each individual. 1t may be neuralgia
or it may be deeply seated. as was the
case with Wagner, the musician. who
was complaining constantly of "the
nerves of his eyes"
The headache is often replaced by
an Inflammation of the eyelids. espe-

with feeling Of tension or fullness In
the eyes which may become real pain
of dull aching character. the eyeballs
being very tender on pressure.
Sometimes there are vertigo and
sickness, with dyspepsia. palpitation
and even difficulty in breathing,
Sleeplessness is very frequent symp-
tom, due in part to the excessive flow
of blood to the brain and in part to the
low tone Of the whole nervous system.
The symptoms Of eye strain appear
sooner in those who lead confined
and sedentary life. who follow occupa-
tions which need a constant use Of the
ewes in bad or unsuitable light and In
those who are debilitated from any
cause. The symptoms appear later In
those of coarser fiber, who pass much

THEATER HORROR N

Txsnty-sil Persons Killed and

Canonsburg. Pa, Aug. 26.-Crushed
and mangled In panic caused by the
explosion Of a moving picture film,
twenty-six persons, chiefly boys and
girls, were killed and sixty-eight in
jured in the Morgan Opera House here
tonight
A fash of flame, cry of fire, mad
rush, in which men and women fought
with each other and trampled down
children-it was all over in few min
utes, leaving its awful toll of death
and injury.
The moving picture cage was in the
second gallery and the stairs were all
inside, leading from the second to the
first balcony and from that to the
main floor. All of the occupants of the
crowded house dashed for these stairs
and instantly the jam at the main
exit was solid Those who had pres
ence of mind enough to seek the fire
escapes were not injured, but the ma
jority Joined in the wild rush for the
stairs
When the first rescuers made their
way into the main entrance they con-
fronted a solid wall of humanity.
many of them dead, others terribly
wounded. The cries of the women and
children were awful to hear and half
the men who started to their rescue
were sickened by the horror. All the
ambulances and vehicles within call
were summoned to carry the dead and
injured to an improvised morgue or to
the hospitals. The fire caused no
damage, being confined to the moving
picture cage.

ALASKAN MOSQUITOES.
They Are Small and Silent, but Work |
With Fire Tipped otinss.

WIKI FieO Tipped SSon0os
Mosquitoes In this icebound north
ern country. Alaska, are plague be-
yond relief. They come to life about
the middle Of May. before the ground
Is thawed out and while many feet of
ice still cover the lakes and all but the
swiftest rivers. Stagnant, sun heated
water is not in the least necessary.
They breed in the glaciers wherever q
bit Of earth or manure has melted a
little pool. Their wrigglers are seen
In running ice water. BY the LIST Of
June 1t is uncomfortable to sleep with
out protection, and from that time on
until September. when the first frosts
have benumbed them. especially dur
ing the warra. rainy season Of July
and August, they become never ceas-
ing scourge, swarming in thousands.
The Alaskan mosquito is small,
brown, silent and very much in ear
nest. He never sings warning nor
fools about selecting spot to his
taste, but comes in bee line with his
probe and gets into action. Every
inch of your clothing is industriously
bored. so that you look like an anil
mated brown cocoon. and the slightest
exposed spot on wrist or neck is
promptly set on fire. experimental

Pl.nt. That Shoot Arrows.

The arrows are crystal needles OF
oxalate of lime. They are of microscop-
ic Dimensions, and they are shot from
minute capsule shaped bodies found
in the tissues of such plants as the
Indian turnip and the Polynesian taro.
An extraordinary spectacle may be
viewed in the field Of the microscope
when the "bonds' contained in a drop
of taro pulp begin to discharge their
arrows. Sometimes only one or two
needles and sometimes groups of four
to ten were discharged at once, the
bomb recoiling as the projectiles left
1t. It has been suggested that the
intense burning and pricking sensa-
tions experienced in chewing such
plants as those just mentioned are due
to the release and discharge of these
crystal arrows when the plant tissues
are crushed in the mouth.-Harper's

Dirds Do Wonderful Amount Of

Birds work more in conjunction with

article in Success Magazine. They
police the earth and air. and without
their services the farmer would be
helpless. Larks, wrens and thrushes

insects and IL per cent Of weed seed.
showing it to be bird Of great eco
nomic value. Sparrows, f1nches and
quail eat large amount OF weed seed.
Practically all the food Of the tree
sparrow consists Of seed. Examina-
tions by Professor r. e. L. Beal of the
biological survey Of the department of
agriculture show that single tree
sparrow will eat quarter of an ounce
Of weed seed daily. In a state the
size Of Iowa tree sparrows alone will
consume more than 800 tons of weed
seed annually. This. with the work
OF other seed eating birds, saves the
farmer an immense amount of work.
Nuthatches and chickadees scan
every part of the trunks and limbs OF
trees for insect eggs In a days time
a chickadce has been known to eat
hundreds of insect eggs and worms
that are very harmful to our trees
and vegetables. Warblers and vireos
hunt the leaves and buds for moths
