Eye Color Changes,
Scientists Aver

The possibility of mans eyes chang
| ing color as the result of mental shock
or physical Ill treatment was the SUBJ
ject Of an Interesting, discussion yes
terday by a number of surgeons in the
eye ward Of one Of tho great London
hospitals.
| One Of the surgeons stated: "It is
common knowledge that great physical
hardships may suddenly turn the hair
white. The loss OF color here follows
ON certain chemical changes, due to dis
turbances Of nutrition, taking place in
the tiny particles. of coloring matter
which give the hair its color.
"All infants at birth have blue eyes.
! In some babies Immediately after birth
pigment granules begin to develop in the
iris. Thus they become brown or black
eyed In others, however. no such pig
ment formation takes place and the eyes
remain blue or gray throughout life.
IF this at present blue eyed ex-con-
vict is really the missing brown eyed
banker a reasonable explanation of the
discrepancy in the eye colorings would
be that under the stress of physical
and mental shock the coloring matter
which had in early life developed in
each iris had atrophied or disappeared,
leaving the eyes the original blue col

As regards the sobriety Of the Chi
nese, there seems to be difference Of
opinion. and 1t is q question upon which
writer's disagree, but 1t seems to be the
general opinion that very few intoxi-
Gated men or women are seen upon the
streets. What drinking il done-and
from all accounts there must be con-
siderable-is carried on within doors.
Habitual drunkenness is punished by
Punishment and servitude, but occa-
sional intoxication IL only a matter Of
comment, and the result is the notify
lives that SO and so is drunk, and II the
subject is not boisterous the affair Is
allowed to drop. But, on the other
hand. II he is noisy and shows dispo-
sition to quarrel and fight, he Is at
once taken to his rooms and compelled
to remain there until the effect of the
liquor has worn away. -.
