The Old lime Senators,

A recent overhauling Of desk in the
Office Of the District Of Columbia
health officer brought to light a small
volume entitled The Medical Register
Of the District" which contained a
complete list of the senators Of the
Thirty-ninth congress, giving their
weight, height and head and chest
measurements. The author Of the book,
DR.. J. II. Toner, says in explanation OF
the table:
'It shows that in all the points OBJ
served our senators exceedEbe average
of mankind in all parts OF the world
as we'll as the average o. our own
country"
From the figures given it appears
that the taliest senators at that time
came from KENTUCKY, the shortest from
New Hampshire and West Virginia.
The average height was Eve feet ten
and q half inches and the senatorial
heads, measured little lower than
the hat is generally worm showed an
average circumference of twenty-five
and a half inches. Fourteen Of the
forty senators were six feet tall

Death In Factory Fires.

The question Is often debated as 70
whether persons who lose their lives
in fire developing with great rapid

pressed by the New York Medical Jour

by relatives Of unfortunate workers
killed in factory fires by reflection on

A Surninq Glass In the Eye.

In the front part of each of our eyes
is Z convex lens of great power and
ciearness. It acts exactly like q burn
inr glass. II q person was made to
look at the sun, say, for half a minute
his eye would actually start to burn
up. The lens would focus the rays of
the sun on the retina, and that part OF
the eye would Immediately scorch and
later would burn to 4 crisp. This can
happen, however, only when one looks
at the sun directly or in q mirror. Il
one holds q pin between the sun ana
the eye and looks at he pin, although
the sun is in g direct line with the eye
and although its rays are entering the
eye, the eye is not hurt, because the
rays are not focused inside the eyeball.
This is the wonderful property the lens
has, that Of focusing objects at differ
ent distances. The means by which 1t
does this are its power to change ITS
