Newport, R. l., Jan. 9-While it is a

nevertheless some here now who are
predicting that the opening of the
Newport season will be much earlier

prevent many of the regular summer

cobweb-like masses of inf1ammatory
material which are thrown out into
the fluid of the eye by some low
grade inflammation. These spots
usually obscure the vision, which is
their great point Of difference from
the former ones. Whether the spots
are due to inflammation or not car
only be determined by a skilled OBJ
server.
Many people who have carelessly
looked too much at the sun, gener-
ally in observing an eclipse, have
actually produced a slight infam-
matory change in the ~retina, SO that
there is always a bury spot wher-
ever they look. But it is doubtful
if any light less brilliant than the
sun can produce a permanent spot,
and certainly a dark object cannot
do SO, according to eye specialists

GESTURES IN SPAIN.
They Play q Very Lively Part In the
Native Conversation.

They Play q Very Lively Part In the
Native Conversation.
To the ordinary Englishman the
gestures and signs made by Span
iards in the course Of their CONVEX
sation appear to be very singular,
but to those who are c%onversing
these gestures add an additional
emphasis. MI. G. Bogne Luffman
in "Quiet Days In Spain" refers to
his discoveries in this matter and
says:
Rubbing the thumb on the fore
fnger-as if sprinkling salt-means
robbery, jobbery, or something to
do with money. The forefnger
placed beside OF curled over the
nose means, NUNS the word I
warn you,' or it may be meant to
hide the truth or subtle point of
tie thing said. The ~forefnger wag-
ged in front of the face means a
decided negative. All the fingers
pinched up and jerked toward the
mouth or throat means an invita-
ton to dine or that food is album
dant or good or would be welcome
or that one should hurry and eat
more. 1t is a sign of want, a boast
of plenty and of hospitality, and al
ways reveals more of human charac-
ter than any words.
"The hand wide open and the
little finger and thumb wide apart
bears a rough resemblance to the
cantara-drinking pitcher. Held in
this manner and tipped toward the
mouth, the hand suggests a drink
or that plenty of wine is about.
When this sign is made the Span
lard closes one eye and distorts his
face exactly as he would on taking a
drink without putting his lips to
the mouthpiece of the pitcher. This
face play is often exceedingly clever
and as genuinely amusing.
The wide open and trembling
hand held transversely to the body
means disgust, Indignation or a plea
for fairness. The sudden clapping
of the hands against the hips means
Il give it up Enough 1T is fate
Il drink your health in vinegar
Pressing down the little finger with
the thumb of the other hand is
equal to Here you have the truth
in it's essence or Accept it from
me- The arms curved over the
head and the fingers snapped is an
unmistakable sign of JOY or happi-
ness, as at sudden good news, or at
a feast or merrymaking. Stiffening
the arm and jerking a thumb to-
ward a shoulder implies strength
for any task or scheme"

A Fairy Story of Today.

The Mans of the Junafrau.

Whence does the Jungfrau derive
its name? There was, it appears, in
the fifteenth century a nunnery at
Interlaken. The nuns owned what
is now the Wengern alp and was
then denominated, out of compli-
ment to its proprietors, the Jung
frauenberg," or Mountain of the
Young Women" When a name was
wanted for the snow peak opposite,
the Jungfrauenberg naturally sup
piled it. 1t was called the jung
frauhorn-an appellation which in
the course of the years was abbrevi-
ated into Observation-Disclosures
Gazette.

Sugar.

Sugar was not known as an arti-
Gle of commerce among the Greeks,
and it is not mentioned in the Bible,
showing that it was not known to
the Hebrews. The sugar cane is
believed to have grown wild in In
dia, and while no reference to sugar
can be found to 800 A. d., there
is no doubt that the juice of the
cane was in use long before that
period. The art of evaporation of
the juice to 2 solid substance is an
Indian invention of about the sew
enth century and vas spread all
over the then known world. The
Arabs and Egyptians prepared can
dy at an early date by re~crystalliz-
ing the sugar obtained from the
pressed cane.

SPOTS BEFORE THE EYES.
A Simple Explanation Of the Cause Of
the Phenomenon.


the Phenomenon.
The prevalence Of spots before
the eyes has given rise to a great
many curious ideas. Almost every
one either sees fixed or floating
spots at times, or hears some friend
complain of these conditions, SO
that it is not strange that many
popular misconceptions have arisen.
The commonest form of floating
spots is those which are known by
the name of muscae volitantes,
which indicates how long the con-
dition has been observed. These
are tiny transparent chains or
strings, which are seen especially on
a white or brightly illuminated
field. They persistently float in the
line of vision, and though a shake
of the head may carry them out of
the way, they at once float back
again.
These spots are probably caused
by the remains in the fluid part Of
the eye of certain cells which should
have been completely absorbed in
the development of the eye, accord
ing to physicians. They never lead
to impairment Of vision.
Other floating spots are due to

Hawaiian Pronunciation.

The letter "a" in Hawaiian is al
ways given the Roman sound, as in
"ah," while Il" always has the sound
Of "e." Hawaii is pronounced
therefore nearly "Hah-wy-ee," with
the accent on the middle eyllable,
or "Hah-yy-ec," some authorities
holding that "w" should always take
the sound of az" The letter go"
always has the sound as in the word
no. and the pronunciation Of the
name of the capital city Of the ter
ritory is "Ho-no.lu-lu" and not
Honolulu" as generally spoken
by the Anglo-Saxon.
