other hand, eyestrain, although q
convenient term, has less positive
meanings. ITO the patient it has
a definite and satisfying meaning,
but to the doctor who employs it,
it is almost if not quite meaning
less, and when he uses it he does
not really commit himself in any
way" according to an eminent
oculist.
The symptoms ascribed to eye
strain are headache, sandy feel
ing and aching of the eyes, pull
ing sensation around the eyeball,
unusual sleepiness, and redness Of
the globe and lids.
The causes are ascribed to re-
fractive errors, muscle imhalances
and faulty illumination. Any pro-
longed task involving the eyes and
requiring concentration is poten-
TALLY a source Of eyestrain. I'm
doubtedly the mental attitude and
the consciousness Of the possibility
of the existence of eyestrain, as
we'll as the effort made TO over
come the handicap have more to
do with the symptoms than the
actual visual error. People with
very small retroactive errors and
low grade astigmatism, have Sc
we're symptoms of eyestrain,
whereas those with large errors
have no eyestrain. In fact, the
latter may have eyestrain only
after wearing glasses for the first
time.
Muscle Strain
Muscle strain is another subject
which is not worked out entirely
logically in the public mind. The
fatigue Of muscles from imbalance
certainly feels as if it were in the
orbit, but a number of observa-
tions are apparently irreconcilable
with the idea of the muscular
origin of discomfort from imbal-
ance. If a person maintains an up
ward gaze for any length Of time,
he feels a discomfort about the
eyes that may eliminate in head
ache. But patient with a paraly-
sis Of certain muscles of the eye,
so that he cannot look up, may get
headaches from the effort to use
his paralyzed muscles. Again, the
condition known as "nystagmus",
in which the eyeballs are con-
stantly moving backward and for
ward, or up, or down, is main
tanned for days without develop
ing any discomfort or headache.
1t is hard to reconcile these
ideas with muscle strain. The sug-
gestion is made by a research
worker at the Harvard Medical
School that these symptoms arise
centrally; that is, more in the
brain than in the eyeball itself.
Instead of being a simple en-
tity, eyestrain is thus complex
process, extending well into the
psychological realm and is GER
tainly not amenable to evalua-
ton entirely by examination with
lenses.
Certain it is that eyestrain IT
self does not result in any perma-
nent disease of the eyes. Glasses
are like crutches and important as
is their service in this capacity,
they have no further value so far
as eyes are concerned. The COM
mon allegation that wrong glasses
have ruined ones eyes, is entirely
without foundation.

Extensive Exploration Work
During Coming Winter is
Believed Probable.

Ely'S iron mines had shipped 1,150,-
768 tons of ore to Sept 1, and with
two and a half months remaining in
the shipping season it appeared that
a new peak in shipping in recent years
would be reached during 1941
Entering into the mining picture for
the first time in many years was the
Savoy property, whose waste dump
provided 3,763 tons of concentrate for
the Evergreen Mines company's wash
ing plant.
Total for 1910 was 1857, 440 tons
shipped, but 100000 tons over that
shipped to Sept. 1 Of this year. Figures
for October will not be available for
another week.
