euppoeed panaer to. Ina Eye.


 Many people believe that certain modern i1luminants are dangerous to the eyes on account of their ultra violet or actinic radiations. pr. Louis Bell and pr. F. H. Verhoef have made an extensive investigation of the ef- fects of radiation on the various parts Of the eye from the cornea1 epithelium back to the retina. In an article in Science the investigators report that no artificial source of light pro duces enough ultra violet radiation to be of the slightest danger to the eye Such pathologie or injurious action as they have been able to detect ex- perimentaIly from ultra violet rays is confined to a strictly limited region of the spectrum, and perfectly definite laws govern it's quantity and effect. Actual experiments on the human eye show conclusiveIy that no concentra- ton of radiation. on the retina from any artificial i1luminant is. great enough to produce injury under any practical conditions. Protective glasses are useful only, they conclude, in cut ting off dazzling light.

Marriage in Japan.

A Japanese husband is allowed only one wife. but to marry is sometimes a much more serious matter than with us Either the husband must be form ally adopted into the family of the wife or the wife into the family of the husband, the couple being absorbed into one family and subject to it's discipline. As a rule, this custom weighs more heavily on the bride than on the husband, for she must not only obey her husband. but every member of his family of an older generation than himself; hence young woman often longs for old age, so that she may wfe1d authority over the younger generations. To bring about a mar riage in Japan an intermediary is ap- pointed, whose duty it is to introduce the parties and to look to every ar engagement of the wedding. He re mains through life the guide, phiIos- opher and friend of the married cou- pie, who refer all matters, all misun- derstantlings, to his counsel. - Pear sons

NanoIeon a Good Reaaer.

Napoleon not only read great deal, but read with profit. His memory was extraordinary. Take, for instance, his Knowledge of Roman civil law, long passages of which he once reeled off by heart to the astonisnment of the state council engaged with him in the production of the Code Napoleon. To one of the councillors he explained how he gained his legal learning When young lieutenant lie found in the cup board of a prison room in which he was confined a ponderous tome of Ro- man law. You can easily imagine.'' he said, what a valuable prize that book was. When, at the end of ten days, recovered my freedom I was saturated with Justinian and the Ro- man legal decisions" Napoleon add ed that the old book was covered with marginal notes-so much so that he could not have been idle if his im> prisonment had 'lasted century,
