briefly as follows : Twelve white rats were
inoculatedwith twelve drops apiece of at.

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

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-

after receiving the injection nut one suc-

for these results is that the gastric jttioo, the

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.
