Coal and the Arts.

An intimate connection between coal
and the arts is seen in the career of
Thomas Britton, the celebrated "mu-
steal small coal man" Over his coal
shop in Jerusalem passage. Clerken-
well. he established in 1878 a musical
club. where every Thursday for nearly
forty years was held a concert, at
which Handel and all the greatest mu-
sicians of the day performed. To a
love of music Britton joined a knowl-
edge of photography, which brought
him into contact with Harley. earl of
Oxford. and other collectors. But he
continued until his death in TIA to
sell coal in the streets of London and
would frequently join his noble pa
irons on a book hunting expedition at

Moon Blindness.

A naval correspondent had written
from Port of Spain. Trinidad. stating
that in his travels he had come across
many cases of moon blindness, caused
by men sleeping with the moon shining
upon them. such cases occurring prin-
cfpally in the tropics and the Mediter-
ranean. Strange to say. adds the Trini-
dad correspondent, men so affected can
see in daylight, but cannot do so when
dusk sets in. Mr.. Elgie further quotes
from a communication made by a New
Zealand correspondent to weekly
scientific Journal This correspondent
was many years ago an apprentice on
the Liverpool ship Langdale, an East
India trader. Once when the ship was
between st. Helena and the line some
Of the crew slept on deck fully ex-
posed to the glare of the brilliant moon.
When they awoke three of them were
quite moon blind. They had to be led
about at night and the ropes put into

be unable to support its head of grain.
Where did man get his idea for car

from them, are made from parallel

of the tortoise, which are natural scis-
