THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1008. H n HI AfifilFIFD ADVERTISEMENTS SNOW BLINDNESS. I tug S t a r Mia pi Co. I XU Way This Terrible Affliction Af feets It Victim. Snow blindness Is au affliction little known through description, though not wry difficult to describe, for here the atrongest adjectives need few qualifi cations. The pain does not follow Im asediately upon the straining which twins to Ik its cause. After a long iay of haze tue traveler finds when he gets into camp that his eyes are a llt tlt itchy and that they water If he comes too near a lire or any source of teat Later they feel as if there were trace of smoke In the tent, then as if grain or two of sand had got under the eyelids and finally as If the eye ockcts 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-: tell. At first there Is a dull ache, grow - I tng gradually sharper until towarJ oornlng of a sleepless night It throbs through the eyes every few seconds, with twinges comparable to, but not qtialed by, the shooting pains of tooth ache. It is 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 time the sufferer usually keeps his tent, moaning and occasionally cry ing out sharply, lying on his face, with hotb bands 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 and sees everything double. In a week or so, if the weather is bazy or be has so 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 eyes 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 kimos. Keeping the eyes from strain and, if possible, focusing them continually on some dark object, such as a black dog hi one's team, is believed by the na tives to be the chief safeguard. The same view is held by many of the roy al northwest mounted police, whose f atfes within the arctic and on the j plains of the northwest frequently ex pose them to snow blindness. Nothing perhaps could more clearly bring out the trying nature of the affliction than the fact that one or more suicldesamong the policemen on spring duty in the orthwest are attributed to inability to bear the pain of snow blindness. Occasionally the police employ the amusing but apparently rather effective tevice of painting the nose black and trying to focus the eyes upon it The 1 type of nose may have something to do with the effectiveness of this scheme. V. Stefansson in Harper's Magazine. Why Wa Sleep. The well known explanation that the etnfflness of the atmosphere in a church is the cause of sleepiness in members of the congregation is, ac cording to the Revue Sclentifique (Paris), "Insufficient." If this hypothe sis were tenable, argues our authority, 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 notorious that the sleeping is done dur fcig the sermon. The true explanation la that the auditor unconsciously hyp- aotizes himself or herself by concen trating the gaze for a long period on a j scription, following the United States Ingle object, whether the countenance j meanders. f the preacher or the pulpit or what j Course, X. 43 deg. 30 min.

Blanc, founder of the casino at Monte Carlo. There hare been many systems that we called infallible invented for the parpose of breaking the bank from the CAlembert to the Itosslyn and Labou- thcre, but only one of them all has ; over given the keepers of the bank a moment's real anxiety. This was the j discovery of a keen eyed old lady who j observed that If the croupier spun with certain numbers opposite him certain other numbers inevitably won. As a matter of fact, it was all very simple. The roulette wheel had become warp ed and was not quite round and thus invariably stuck at easily ascertainable figures. This little discovery put 300, 900 francs into the pockets of the old lady and her accomplices before M. Blanc bought the secret for 70,000 francs. Westminster Gazette. Some German Composers.
