A 1.1110rIT OVER Tam FA CAA.
Exciting Eacapade of Two Youth's on
ill Jansen Silver.
A Buffalo despatch says Eddie Davison,
a lad ou Mohawk street, son of a ship
owner, awl a companion went riming on
the Niagara River at Black Rock on 'Sun-
day, got caught in the ice and drifted down
the river. Nearer and nearer the Falls
they floated until darknezs overtook them.
They could hear the roar of the terrible
cataract, and despite their desperate efforts
the boat drifted on. They finally resolved
to use their efforts in forcing the boat the
one way, towards the American shore,
regardless of the ice jam. Rain fell, to add
misery tO the darkness. At one time they
gave up, and tears tilled their eyes. This
but acted as au escape valve to their pent-
up fear, and relieved they again took hold
of the oars and pulled the boat through the
-
floe more vigorously than before. AN the
roar of the FON -drowued everything else
their boat grounded, but in the thick dark-,
!less the boys hardly believed they were
ashore, and were not convinced until they
had driven theboat half Out on dry land.
It was late, no lights were to be seen, and
they made R. shelter of the upturued boat.
On Monday morning they found themselves
below Lasalle. After vainly trying to row
the boat up etreain they gave it up, floated
it to-Tonawitielit, and came on by train to
gladden their somewhat disturbed house-
holds.

SHORT SIGHTEDNESS IN SCHOOL CHILDREN.
allow It la Causied---Alarming Prevalence
of Illyopy.
IROAP6TED -TO DEATH.- .•
(From the New York Herald.)
The results of recent investigations by
eminent experts to determine the amount
of short-sightednese in schoolchildren com-
pelled to use badly printed text books in
ill -lighted Behool rooms are increasingly
alarming. An examination made among
New York school attendants in 1-876
revealed the fact that about one-sixth or
more were' affected With myopy. But
more recent and extensive inquiries abroad
show that the evil is Much greater than has
beeu feared. The last annual report of the
head master of Wellington College, Eng-
land, states that "'a considerable number
of - boys are short-sighted. and others
'becoming so," ,while . the well known
British ophthalmic surgeon Critehett
gives , the opinion that the public
schools "are inanufaeturing a race of short-
sighted people." To Professor Cohn, of
Breslau, however, we aro indebted for the
most comprehensive and couclusive data on
this important question. Out of 10,000
children examined by Professor Cohn • in
German schoole no low than 1,00-1 Were
found to he more or less seriously affected
with eliort-sightedneiw and he ascertained
that the degree of iho damage done the
