THE SEEING PO WER.
Tiie capacity for using the seeing
power, as it exists among different
nationalities has been the subject
of much theorizing and discussion.
Longmans Magazine thinks that it
is possible that slight differences
may exist in the seeing powers of
different nations, due to the effect
of physical conditions; thus, the
inhabitants of mountainous dis
tricts and of dry, elevated table
lands may have a better sight than
dwellers in lotr, humid, and level
regions, although just the reverse
may be the case. Among Euro
pean nations the Germans are
generally supposed to have weak
eyes, owing, some imagine, to their
excessive indulgence in tobacco,
while others attribute the supposed
decay to the form of type used in
their books, which requires closet
looking at than ours in reading.
That they will deteriorate still
further in this direction, and form
being a spectacled people become
? blind one, to the joy of their
enemies, is not likely to happen, j
and probably the decadence has
been a great deal exaggertead.
Animals living in darkness become
near sighted, and then nearer
sighted still, and so on progres
sively until the vanishing point is
reached. In a community or
nation a similar decline might
begin from much reading of Ger
man books, or perpetual smoking
of pipes with big china bowls, or
from some other unknown cause ;
but the decay could not progress
far, because there is nothing in
man to take the place of sight, as
there is in the blind cave rats and
fishes and insects. And if v.e
could survey mankind from Chira
to Peru with all the scientific,
appliances which are brought to
bear on the Board-school children
in London, and on the nation
generally, the differences in the
powers of vision in the various
races, nations, and tribes would
probably appear very insignificant.
The mistake which eye specialists
and writers on the eye make is
that they think too much about
the eye. When thev affirm that
tiie conditions of our civilization
are highly injurious to the sight,
do tl ey mean all the million con
ditions, or sets ot conditions,
embraced by our system, with the
infinite variety of occupations and
modes of living which men have,
from the lighthousekeeper to the
worker ufderground, whose day is
the dim glimmer of a miner's
lamp? "An organ exercised be
yond its wont will grow, and thus
meet increase of demand by
increase of supply," Herbert
Spencer says; but, he adds, there
is a limit soon reached, beyond
which it is impossible to go. This
increase of demand with us is
everywhere now on this organ
and now on that, according to our
work and way of life and the eye
is in no worse case than the other
organs. There are among us many
cases of heart complaint; civiliza
tion, in such cases, has put too
great a strain on that organ, and it
has reached the limit beyond
which it can not go. And so with;
the eye. The toUi limber of the I

; to marry and transmit the linger

posterity. Yet such is ti.e fact
not only with the blind, but. with
those possessing equally as untit
ling hiiiimaties. Society needs a
thorough renovation upon this and
kindred subjects, and judgement
and common sense should step in
and add humane as well as
prudential motives to guide social
practices into higher and better
channels.
The Democratic cry of free
whisky to meet the Protection
ists' charge on free trade is one of
that party's usually silly ways of
meeting a great question. Now,
do they mean to seriously say that
the Protectionists of the country
propose to take off the present
duty ot $2 per proof gallon on
spirituous liquors? "We do not
think that, with all their stupidity
and lack of information on econ
omic subjects, they mean this, and
if not, what do they mean ? Are
Protectionists in favor of free iron
and steel because they do not
impose an internal revenue tax on
those productions?
