I DRIVERS TURN TO THE LEFT.
How a Peculiar ICoatl Rule Observed by
the English YTas Or!sin-tert.
'1 came near having1 several collis
ions while driving' in and about Lon
don on a recent visit in England, be
cause I couldn't pet the hang1 of turn
ing' to the left instead of the right
upon meeting1 a vehicle, as we do in
thin country." said a globe-trotter to a
Cincinnati Times-Star reporter a fewl
davs aaro. "'You know we always turn!
to the risjht in this country, and but
for the vigilance of the English driver
I would have been mixed up in more
than one smash up. I asked dozens of
Englishmen why they had such an
abominable custom, and not one could
tell, 'except-that they had always done
it. One day I stepped into a newspa
per office and asked one of the edit
ors, lie couldn't tell. He appealed to
a young- reporter in the room and the
boy gave the. explanation that in olden
times the foot traveler passed to the
right that the shield on the left arm
might be interposed to ward off a
treacherous blow, and the right? or
sword arm, be free to strike.
"Horsemen, however, usually had
coats of mail to protect them, and there
was more safety in being near the an
tagonist than in having to strike across
the neck of the horse, as would have
been necessary had they turned to the
right. ' When vehicles came in use
later the drivers instinctively followed
the old horseback custom and turned
to the left. And I believe I have found
why we have fallen into the habit of
turning to the right. Horses were
scarce for several generations in this
country after the first saddles came
here, and the English custom for foot
travelers naturally prevailed, for we
were very English in those early days,
as you know. We got in the habit of
turning to the right, and when con
veyances became common we kept
turning to the right, because more
used to it. A nation will drop into a
habit as easily as an individual."
SACRED WATER " ANALYZED.
A Scientific Examination of Some from a
Well at Mecca.
A scientific analysis has lately been
made in England of the Zcin-Zem wa
ter from the sacred well at Mecca,
which, according to the Arabs, is the
well that the angel showed to Hagar,
and whose water saved the life of Ish
mael. After reading the results of this
analysis, one cannot wonder that pil
grims who drink the water are fre
quently attacked by cholera.
The specimen examined, says the
Youth's Companion,, which was hermet
ically sealed in tin bottles forty years
ago by Sir Richard Burton during his
visit to Mecca in the disguise of a der
vish, contained sixty-nine grains of
chlorine; to the gallon. Water which
contains so little as nine grains of
chlorine to the gallon is ordinarily re
garded as scarcely fit for human con
sumption. Moreover, in the case of the Zem-Zern
well, it is believed that the chlorine
originates from the custom of pouring
the water ,over the pilarrims and allow
ing it to run back into the well.- The
sacred water was found to possess an
extraordinary degree of ' hardness,"
three times as great as that of average
water. It also held twenty times as
much ammonia compounds as drinking
water should contain.
No bacteria were discovered, but this
is accounted for by the fact tiiat the
water had remained for so long it. time
sealed up in entire darkness. Forty
years of such confinement had com
pletely sterilized it, but the chemical
impurities remained.
THE BLIND PLANT.'
A Fungoid Growth Tliat I'reys I'pou the
Unman Eye.
It may seem strange to some but,
according to one of the best opti
cians west of the Mississippi, twenty
two per cent, of the - fifty or sixty
thousand blind persons in the United
States were rendered so by the
growth of a remarkable fungus planl
which seems to be perfectly at home ir
the human eye. The little plan'
which causes this terrible affliction
belongs to the lowest order of the
fungi and is a single celled organism
knowns as a coccus. -It propagates
simply by division that is, a single
cell, growing to its full size, splits in
to two or more, usually four, perfect
plants, these again subdividing as be
fore. These plants grow upon the external
covering of the eye, and soon destroy
the clear . medium so necessary to
vision. The propagation of the mis
chiefmaker is very rapid, and its
growth in the tissues covering the eye
ball causes much irritatiop. cutting off
the supply of. nutriment, and re-,
suiting in congestion. So' far as
is known it is spread onlv bv infec
tion and must be planted directly up
on suitable soil before it can grow.
This, in brief, is what is known as the
bacterial causu of blindness.
