Asfirrnatisrn Statistics.

Out Of about 5000 cases of astig-
matism, 50 per cent. we're affected
with simple hypermetropic astigma-
tism; 26 per cent. with compound
hypermetropic astigmatism; % per
cent: with simple myopic astigma-
tism, and per cent. with mixed
astigmatism. The meridian of great
est refractfon was horizontal in
1,0S1 cases, vertical III 349, and OBJ
nque In 1874. 1t Is claimed by Mr..
Van de Borg, who made the report,
that even in cases where the astig-
matte error was of only 1000 diop-
ter the visual acuity was seldom
quite normal after correction, with
very rapid decrease in visual acuity
with increase Of error. AS a rule, the
improvement Of vision Yves greatest
when the meridian of greatest refrac-
ton was horizontal. It appears
strange that normal visual acuity
could not beobtained in cases wherein
the error amounts to only 100 diop-
ter, and it seems safe to say that had
a careful test been made and prop
erly ground and adjusted lenses been
supplied, the visual acuity, in those
cases would have been brought up to
normal without difficulty.

The vastness Of London.

There are about 5000 miles of rail.
way in Greater London, and 1t Is esti.
mated that something like 600 ZOO, 600
separate journeys are made by pas
Bengers annually. The number Of
journeys on an average week day is
over 100000. An idea Of the vehicu-
lar traffic In the streets may be gath
cred from the statement that in
twelve hours 1904 vehicles Of all
kinds passed particular spot in Pic
cadilly, and full service Of $50 buses
pass the Bank OF England In an hour.
The number Of passengers carried by
the London trans in a year Is over
$50. 000.0 900. A census taken Of the
number Of pedestrians who crossed
London Bridge on q certain day show
ed that they totalied 116,e02, and in
naneteen and q half hours during q
day in April last year 248,o15 people
crossed the roadways at the bank

rrackless Railway Laid.

United States Consul LANCER at Sol
ingen, Germany, reports to the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor that a
trackless railway Is being erected by
the community of Mannheim, which
will be the first of its kind in Prussia.
1t will run from Mannheim to Lang
enfield, about 21s miles long. with two
short branches intended for freight
ing purposes.
For entering farmyards lying close
to the road a connector and flexible
cable so to 20 feet in length will be
used to transmit the current to the
motor car. When these trains pass
each other one will remain standing
under the wires and disconnect Its
current until the other has passed.
Farmers wagons can be attached to
the end of the train, provided the or
binary tongues are replaced by shorter
coupling tongues. Five or six double
trips at the rate Of 8 to 10 miles per
hour will be made daily on schedule
time.

Why Ice Stays on Top.

Water should be the sole exception
10 the otherwise universal law that
ell cooling bodies contract and there.
fore increase In density, writes Henry
Martyr Hart In the Outlook.
Water contracts as its temperature
Salls and therefore becomes heavier
and sinks until II reaches 80 degrees.
At this temperature water is the
heaviest; this is the point of It's max.
inum density. From this point it be-
gins to expand. Therefore, in winter,
although the surface may be freezing
at q temperature Of so degrees, the
water at the bottom of the pool is si1
or seven degrees warmer.
Suppose that water, like everything
else. had gone on contracting as it
cooled until 1t reached the freezing
point; the heaviest water would have
sunk to the lowest place and there be-
come Ice.

A Queer Accident.

Sensational incidents are not I'M
common in the closing stages of fam
GUS criminal trials. One of the most
remarkable occurred in Melbourne on
the last day Of the trial of Ned Kelly,
known to thousands of readers Of
penny fiction as the "ironclad bush
ranger Of Australia" A knife dropped
from a gallery overhead and fell at the
feet Of the desperate in the dock. He
had every temptation to grasp 1t and
put an end to his existence, for there
was not the slightest chance of his
escaping the gallows. But it was
promptly picked up by a bailiff and It's
owner was arrested and brought be-
fore the Judge. He pleaded that the
occurrence was purely accidental, and
the explanation was accepted by the
Court.

A Very Dangerous Trade.

The dangers of work in white
lead factory are interestingly de-
scribed by medical authority in a
discussion of the causes and effects
of lead poisoning. Most Of the cases
occur among the workers in the de-
partment where the preparation Of
the carbonate Of lead is carried on by
what Is called the Dutch process
In which the lead, in sheets. is placed
on the top of pots filled with acetic
acid, and converted, first, into the
subacetate, and finally decomposed by
carbon, dioxide emitted by tar. In
moving the carbonate, clouds of white
lead dust are easily caused by care
less handling on the part of the work
men; and in spite of the respirators
worn by them much of the poison is
taken into the system.-Harper's
Weekly.

odd Site For Window Boxes

When Charles Dudley Warner
wrote his volume of "Saunterings"
he committed himself to a great deal
of admiration over the window boxes
filed with blooming plants that
adorned the facades of business
houses abroad and also to the state
ment that If the same thing was tried
here the credit Of the firm attempting
it would suffer. There is one old
business house in the Broadway
shopping district that has decided to
run that risk apparently, across the
front Of the second and third stories
of its white-fronted building it., has
arranged two lines Of green window
boxes filed and hanging over with
scarlet geraniuma. The effect is
charming and adds not little to the
attraction of tho whole front of the
shop.-New York Sun.

Many rich man has nothing but
sympathy for the poor.
If fish could talk anglers would have

A summer girls idea of economy Is

Competition works both, ways. 1t Is

WROTE HISTORY ON A BET. n
VIM. n. Prescott's Unique Way Of
Forcing Himself to Work.


Rollo Ogden, in his brief and very
readable biography Of William H.
Prescott, the historian, cites many
passages from the diary showing Pres
colts habit Of fogging himself to his
work by making wagers with his sec
retaries that he would complete a
given task by certain day. the odds
always heavily against himself. Pres
colt always took the betting on his
own Industry with perfect seriousness.
Sometimes he would radiantly greet
his secretary with You have lost! You
owe me a dollar And he would exact
payment. Occasionally he would with
woebegone eountenance, produce and
pay over to the protesting secretary
the $50 or $50 he himself had lost"
One deliberately made memorandum
witnesses that bet of 81 to $50 had
been made between q. B. Otis and
William H. Prescott, Esq, the latter
betting $50 that he will write 100
pages Of his History of Peru In 100
days" srs.s.4ls

The omnlvorous Korean.

The Korean Is omniyorous. Birds
of the air, beast of the field and fish
from the sea-nothing comes amiss
to his palate Dog meat is In great
request at certain seasons; pork and
beef with the blood undrained from
the carcass; fowls and game-birds
cooked with the lights, giblets, head
and claws intact-fsh, sun-dried and
highly malodorous-all are acceptable
to him. Cooking is not always neces-
sary; a species OF small fish is pre-
ferred raw, dipped into some piquant
sauce Other dainties are dried sea-
weed, shrimps, vermicelli, pine seeds,
lily bulbs and all vegetables and
cereals. Their excuses make the
Koreans martyrs to indigestion.-Les-
lies Weekly.

One generation does not make a
man like Togo. And also one gem
GRAFTON does not make the fellows
who went into the terrible gulf OF
death in Manchuria and on the east

atmosphere made them thus. l pray
that they with remain so, as they are.
Already there is whisper of degen-
Grafton and sophistication in Japan of
