New York.-After something like
twenty-five years study of the eye
affection known as ophthalmia nodosa.
a celebrated oculist has discovered
that It is caused by the presence of
caterpillar-hairs in the eye. On these
hairs are microscopic thorns and
brushes which set up Inflammation.

As the presence of this foreign matter
causes a copious flow of tears. the
source of the trouble is very difficult
Of detection. If these hairs are not

become embedded in the inner part Of
the eye by the friction of the lid and
form small knots under the conjunc-

into the rainbow skin and the lower
layers in the apple of the eye. when
the Inflammation becomes so acute

1t is also said that the poisonous mat

causing Inflammation that may even
lead to nettlerash. Hence it may be
gathered that the antipathy of the peo

these creatures is founded on some
thing more than mere superstition
Their observation has evidently pre-

those who have anything to do will

One Trip Nearly Paid for Schooner


Dealers at T wharf were given
surprise when Capt Horace Hillman
of the Alton schooner Eliza Benner
of Edgartown offered 10000 pounds OF
fish to buyers at the exchange. NO
one believed that a schooner the size
of the Benner would attempt rounding
Cane Cod at this season so deeply
loaded. But the captain had recently
purchased the vessel and thought II
he could reach Boston at a time OF
high prices he might be able to nearly
pay her purchase price.
with five young men belonging TO
Martha's Vineyard Capt Hillman took
the schooner out on the ocean side Oh
Nantucket and in a short time tlled
the craft to the matches. The venture
proved so successful that the crew
earned about $50 each and the Ben
ner almost paid for herself.-Boston

INC Antiquity of the organ.

The organ is the most magnificent
and comprehensive of all musical in
struments. While the pipes OF Pan,
aside from that mythical parsonage
indicate very ancient use of pipes as
a means Of producing musical sounds
the water organ of the ancients' fur
nishes to the student Of organ history
the first tangible clew regarding the
remote evolution of the instrument.
In the second century the magripha,
an organ Of ten pipes with a crude
keyboard. is said to have existed. but
accounts of this instrument are In
volved in much obscurity. 1t is aver
red that an organ. the gift Of Con
stantine, was in the possession of King
Pepin of France in 757, but Aldhelm
monk, makes mention of an organ
with gilt pipes" as far back as the
year 700.
