An Old Theory Controverted by a Young Chicago Oculist. From the New York Woild. All oculists know that, from middle age on, the pupil of the eye grows smaller, until In old age it is no target than a pin's head. Heretofore they have tried to explain this by saying that the muscles and nerves controll ing the pupils become stiff, or weak, sooner than do the other muscles or nerves of the body. This theory is controverted by i young Chicago oculist, Dr. Noihuine Jenkins, who criticizes many old the ories In regard to the eyes. Dr. Jenkins was in New York 10 cently, and was seen by a reporter. "1 find." said he, "that advancing age only brings into action certain defects of the eye, nnd these defects alone nro the causes of the small pupil, whether in ago or In youth; nnd the greater the defect the earlier the pupil gets small. "Tills is proved, because the pupil resumes Its normal size and activity after the defects are relieved by per fectly fitting glasses. In brief, the small pupil comes from eye strain, and Is not present In perfect eyes. As only about one person In a thousand has perfect eyes, the mistake has easily been made of thinking the small pupil came from a natural loss of tone fiom age, but perfectly fitting glasses show that these defects have existed from youth, and that uge only reveals them, and also that when these are relieved, the pupil resumes Its youthful action. "It Is not age nor loss of tone of the muscles or nerves that causes the pupils to be small In adults. It is either caused by astigmatism, unlike eyes or far-sightedness. "Astigmatism Is an eye trouble sel dom understood. Tho apple of tho cy and the curtain of the eye are covered in front by a tough, round and clear, saucer-shaped skin, something like a watch-ciystal. This Is about as wide and thick ns a sliver half-dime, and the white of the eye frames It. If it Is perfect it has a shape something like the big end of an egg. If It Is faulty, It Is more like the side of an egg, or a warped saucer, and blurs the images that pass through It. "In about half the people the two eyes are not alike In their defects; for astigmatism, farsightedness or near sightedness are apt to be worse in one eye than in the other. One eye may be perfect and the other not quite so good, or even very Imperfect. "In farsightedness the eyeball Is too small, or too short; the images come to a focus behind the retina, causing eye strain and a small pupil. The great work of the pupil is to act In harmony with the lens and the focus sing muscle to focus perfect Images on tho outspread nerve, und this small ness of the pupil that attends the ad vance of age Is a sign that the pupil Is striving to makeup for shortcoming In other parts of the eye. "This discovery will prove ot Import ance to spectacle wearers, for it will enable them to tell by the size of their pupils whether their glusses fit, a mat ter largely of guesswork heretofore " Pierce's Harket Fresh this morning.
