NOSE PLEASED: EYE HURT. Cheap Perfumes Said to Be Cause of
 Blindness.

Philadelphia, Feb. 2S--BeWare of certain cheap perfumes--they may cause blindness.
 This is one of the warnings issued by the Commission on Conservation of Vision, recently appointed by the Pennsylvania Medical association.
 Similar warnings are issued against cheap Whiskey, and the commission is suggesting the need of compulsory treatment of the eyes of all babies lmm edlately after birth.
 The cheap perfumes which q re dangerous arc those which contain wood alcohol, says the commission. Fumes of these cause congestion of the blood vessels of the eyeball. Con- tinued results in progressive myopia, or near Sightedness, and eventually may lead to total bind- ness.
 Jamaica ginger, when taken in ternally for stomach trouble, also has harmful effects on the eyes, the commission says.

 The captain from the bridge direct- ed the lowering of the boats and called on everybody to keep calm, and everybody kept calm wonderfully for the scene immediately after the ex- plosion was one sufficiently terrifying to cause a panic. Several childrrn were blown to pieces, and the deck was covered with wreckage and wounded, but there was no sign of a panic.
 Only few boats could be lowered, and the heavy seas made the rescue work difficult. The majority of those saved were on the rafts of which the ship carried a large number.

The newspaper Asahi has been maintaining the theory that the out rage was the work of two Japanese men who were hired or instigated by some third party. The newspaper claims to possess information that the suspicion of the police has been directed towards Chinese revolution ists resident in Japan on the ground that they may have tried to assa ssin- ate Count Okuma as a, means of checking the Japanese governm ent's recognition of the monarchy in China. This theory is based on the assump- tion that Chow Tze-chi, the Chinese
