SNOW BLINDNESS.

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.

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

One System That Won.
"He who breaks the bank today will
he broken by the bank tomorrow,"
was a favorite saying of M. 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.
