tying run but Hagan made s good
catch of his attempt.

SNOW BLINDNESS.
Phe Way This Terrible ‘Affliction Af-
fects Its Victims.
Snow blindness is an afiliction little
known through description, though not
very difficult to describe, for here the
strongest adjectives need few qualifi-
cations. The paln does not follow im-
mediately upon the straining which
seems to be its cause. After a long
day of haze the traveler finds when he
gets into camp that his eyes are a Mt-
tle itchy and that they water if he
comes too near a fire or any source of
heat. Later they feel as If there were
a trace of smoke in the tent, then as If
a grain or two of sand had got under
the eyelids and finally as if the eye
sockets were lined with sandpaper.
Every movement of the eye causes
pain, and then the pains begin to come
without a provoking roll of the eye-
ball. At first there is a dull ache, grow-
ing gradually sharper untill toward
morning of a sleepless night it throbs
through the eyes every few seconds,
with twinges comparable to, but not
equaled by. the shooting pains of tooth-
ache. It i= the only affliction with the
pain of which the ordinary Eskimo
cries out. The severity of the attack
diminishes toward the end of the first
twenty-four hours. For the larger part
of that thine the sufferer usually keeps
his tent, moauing and occasionally cry-
ing out sharply, lying on his face, with
both hands covering his closed eyes to
keep out the faintest possible light. On
the second or perhaps third day he Is
able to travel, but Is very nearsighted
ind sees everything double. In a week
or xo, if the weather is hazy or he has
a0 goggles, the same individual may
have another attack, but the first at-
tack of the year Is the most severe ap-
parently Every attack weakens the
eves and predisposes to further attacks,
which--so at least the Eskimos believe
finally lead to total blindness, an af-
fliction rather common among the Es-
klmos
Keeping the eyes from strain and, if
possible, focusing them continually on
some dark object, such as a black dog
In one's team, I8 belleved by the na-
tives to be the chief safeguard. The
same view Is held by many of the roy-
al northwest mounted podlice. whose
duties within the arctic and
plains of the northwest frequently ex-
pose them to snow blindness. Nothing
perhaps could more clearly bring out
the trying nature of the affiction than
the fact that one or more suicides among
the policemen on spring duty in the
northwest are attributed to Inability
to bear the pain of snow blindness.
Occasionally the police employ the
amusing but apparently rather effective
device of paluting the nose black and
trying to focus the eyes upon it. The
type of nose may have something to do
with the effectiveness of this scheme.

Why We Sleep.
The well known explanation that the
stufflness of the atmosphese In a
hurd the cause of sleepiness In
members of the congregation Is, ac
cording to the Revue Sclentifique
(Paris), “tosufficlent.” If this hypothe
sls were tenable, argues our authority,
it Is manifest that the congregation, or
those members of it who react readily
to a soporific agent, would go to sleep
before the sermon began. Now, It Is
ootorious that the sleeping is done dur
ing the sermon. The true explanation
Is that the auditor unconsciously hyp
notizes himself or herself by concen:
trating the gaze for a long period on a
single object, whether the countenance
of the preacher or the pulpit or what
not. The wore desperate the effort to
heed the sermon the surer this effect
of self hypootization. Those who sleep
during the sermon are consequently
the very members of a congregation
who are entitled to the highest praise
for their consclentious effort to follow
the words of the preacher.—Current
Literature.
One System That Won.
“He who breaks the bank today will
be broken by the bank tomorrow,”
was a favorite saying of M. Blane,
founder of the casino at Monte Carlo,
There have been many systems that
were called Infallible Invented for the
purpose of breaking the bank from the
D’Alembert to the Rosslyn and Lahou-
chere, but only one of them all has
ever given the keepers of the bank a
moment's teal anxiety. This was the
discovery of a keen eyed old lady who
observed that If the croupler spun with
certald numbers opposite him certain
other numbers inevitably won. As a
matter of fact, it was all very simple.
The roulette wheel had become wmrp-
ed and was not quite round and thus
Invariably stuck at easily ascertainable
figures. This little discovery put 300,
000 francs into the pockets of the old
lady and her accomplices before M.
Blane bought the secret for 70,000

Judge Swartz, of the Montgomery
county courts, in delivering his opinion
sald: “The act of the legislature is a
police regulation for the protection of
the public health, This is a highly Lene-
it is doing much to promote
health.”
Porter, of the superior court,
in his opinion said: "The statute was
passed in the exercise of the police
power of the state, That power ua-
doubtedly extends to all regulations af-
eciing the health, morals,
peace and safety of soclety. All sorts of
wirit and burdens are imposed
under this power, and when these are
not in conflict with any constitutional
prohibition, or fundamental principle,
they cannot be successfully assailed in
a judicial tribunal. That the preser-
vation of the waters of the state from
pollution, involving danger to health,
is a proper subject for the exercise of
police cannot be seriously
questioned.”
