against using the eyes I'm n proper man
ner In a recumbent position; such use is
the least tiresome, and can be persisted
I'm for longer periods without damage
than any other position. We all know
that grave damage is often done by
reading IN reoumbent posture, but
therein. possibly some occulists are at
fault. Had IT been the universal prac-
tice during the last twenty or thirty
years TO give careful directions how to
read lying down instead OF saying to
one wand all, You must not read lying
down" there would be less nearsght
and better eyes in the community than
now exist
Three easily avoided errors cause all
the harm possible from reading lying
down, the first often leading to the two
others. They are insufficient or wrongly
directed light, short reading distance,
and tipping the book out of a plane at
right angles to the line OF vision.
IL. however, every one reading lying
down will so arrange his lounge or bed
that the light comes over the head with
out striking the eyes, and falls we'll upon
the page: II he will hold his book at a
long reading distance, and take care that
the line OF letters shall be at right angles
to the line Of vision, he can be sure OF
doing his eyes no more harm than II he
were sitting up.
More than this, there is much posi-
lively In favor OF reading lying down.
DR.. Seller concludes: The recumhent
posture allows more rest OF the bodily
structures than the sitting posture, and
there Is greater possibility Of resting and
repair In that position

but this may be due to the flood of them
constantly poured forth. 1t is hard for
a book to hold attention when three
others, no better or no worse, are clam
oring at its heels.
The critic Of "The Manchester Guar
diam holds that overproduction has
been accomplished by an access OF very
inferior work, and he adds;
Further. there can be no doubt that a
certain body of meritorious work Is being
buried In the rush. Books destined for the
traditional seamstress, with their senti-
tlonal characters, perhaps cannot be buried.
Works OF that sort IL cleverly done seem
To go as straight to their mark as an ar
pow. On the other hand, however, there
are books which aim higher whlch--espe-
cially IL they just fall short of attaining
their aim-never receive their due and In
stead OF entering upon whatever period OF
honorable and useful life they may be en-
titled TO. fall still-born from tho press or,
al any rate, are rapidly forgotten. Finally,
there was never a time when an author
who had once got his name favoraby
known TO the public was more likely TO
prosper; the booksellers stock his works,
for they know their clients will buy them.
That Is not necessarily an evil, but IL be-
comes an evil when the authors public
cling TO him long after he has written him,
self out and when his work has fallen 20
level that is exceeded by other writer's
with whom readers might be aequaintng
