In demonstrating the fact that fatigue renders the body -peculiarly susceptible to the attack of infectious diseases the Paris Society of Biology has laid mankind under more than ordinary obligation. The method by whic11 it was shown that overwork acts as the ally of these microbian pinions was briefly as follows : Twelve white rats were inoculatedwith twelve drops apiece of at. temmted viru of bacilli of anthrax. Hight of the twelve after receiving the injeetiou were placed in a squirrel's cage so tamed by a wheel, that they were forced to bawd at, the rate of nearly two miles an hour. Here they were subjected to over -work and fatigue with the result that seven of them died in less than three days. Of the re- maining tour which were left quietly alone after receiving the injection nut one suc- cumbed.

It is the opinion of all who saw it that there is nothing left but a thin shell. The Blind in England. Out of tho 132,000,000 of subjects Over whom her :Majesty now reigns as Queen of Great Britain, taken in round numbers, about 32,000 are said to be blind. This estim- ate, however, must be understood to in. chide a eonsiderable number of those pae tially deprived of sight, as, during the last forty years, the ratio of blind persons in every million has slowly but steadily fallen from 1,011010 819, a decrease of one-fifth of 1 per cent. The smallness 00 01010 decrease, when so much has boon done in other direc- tions to lessen the ravages of disease, arises from two facts—first, that in a considerable number of cases blindnoss is the result of somo untoward accident—stone throwing, a splinter of broken glass, a sodden blow or fall—end secondly, and in a, still larger number of caeca, is tho result of neglect, ill- treatment, or exposure to cold when the victim was but few days or weeks old. So large a percentage of blindness, indeed, is due to thin eituse that the Royal Commis. slavers, while noting it, suggest a special remedy, viz,, the employment of trained midwives among the poor, and the careful use of perchloride of mercury for washing the oyes.
