Daring Rescue by Heroic Nswfound.
land Fisherman.
Sir Edward Morris. prime minister
Of Newfoundland, tells In the Wide
World magazine a remarkable story Of
heroism on the part Of Newfound-
land fisherman. The name Of this man
was George Harvey. and he resided In
q low. rocky island. few miles east
Of Cape Ray.
In those days the emigrant ships to
Canada were crowded with passen-
gers. In the autumn Of 1892 the brig
Dispatch, bound to Quebec. with 1888
souls. in q gale of wind. struck q rock
about three miles from Harvey's home.
He heard the signals of distress and
Immediately launched his boat. with
his boy of twelve. his girl of seventeen
and his dog, and tried to get out to
ed ship were crowded the crew and
passengers. in imminent peril of their
lives. A terrible sea ragged between
his boat and the wrecked ship. but
across that awful waste of water the
gallant fisherman and his brave chill
dren urged their frail skiff. To get
close to the stranded ship was to court
instant destruction. and the task Of
saving those on beard seemed well
nigh hopeless. but Harvey's noble
Newfoundland dog. with marvellous in
telligence, seemed to understand what
was required of him and at a signal
from his master sprang out of the
boat and swan toward the ship. The
seas overwhelmed him and drove him
back. but he persevered and finally
came near enough. The sailors threw
him rope. which he gripped with his
sharp teeth. and at last he got back to
his master and was drawn into the
boat almost dead from exhaustion.
Communication was now esta bliShed
between the ship and Harvey's skiff.
and with the most laboriOus efforts ev-
cry soul was saved.

It's the Amount Rather Than the In.
tensity of the Rays That Hurts.
II is not so much the intensity of the
light focused on the retina as it is the
quantity received by that sensitive or
gan that causes retinal fatigue or
worse. In the great snow fields Of
the arctic regions the natives protect
their eyes from the glare of the snow
by goggles made of followed pieces of
wood in which they have made small
holes to look through. These, says the
Optical Review, reduce the quantity Of
the light which passes into their eyes
with consequent relief from the glare.
So, too, if we look through a minute
pinhole disk at the sun we can endure
the very bright light much longer than
when we look with the naked eyes. II
we look at distant electric arc light
there is no retinal fatigue. while if We
look at the same light from a short
distance there is great discomfort, and
yet the two retinal images are of equal
brilliancy, only in the first case this
image is very much smaller than In
the second caSe-that is, the quantity
Of light is very much different.
Then there is the flaming electric
light which is now to be found in all
of the large cities of the country. This
light is much less brilliant than that

the difference. and it is therefore very

Erosion Of the Drainage Basins Of the

Investigations by the United States
geological survey Of the erosion Of
numerous drainage basins Of the Unit
ed States show that the surface of the
country Is being removed at the aver
age rate Of about an inch in 760 years
Though this amount seems trivial
when spread over the surface Of the
country. 1t becomes stupendous when
considered as a total or even in sep
arate drainage basins. The Mississip-
pi river. for instance, carries annually
to the sea 1876, 100000 tons of dissolved
matter and 34O,508.OOO tons of sus-
pended matter, and of this total the
Ohio river carries S3.35OOOO tons and
the Missouri river contributes more
than twice as much. The Colorado
