PREVENTABLE MISFORTUNE
Pathetic Case of Children Who Need
Not Have Been Blind.
CAUSES OF THE SAD CONDITION
Plan af tCdncatloa, I. emulation ana
('-Operation la Combatting the
Affliction MeaBB to a
Good End.
'One-fourth of all the blind children In
the blind schools of the country are un
necessarily blind." Is the astonishing' sen
tence used as a teat in the report of the
New York association for the blind.
The aasuclatlon haa undertaken a plan of
education. ' legislation and co-operation
which, it is hoped, will arouse the public
and effectively combat the causes of the
s;rtat affliction. In the printed report the
dalm Is made that theae thousands of
children are not shut up In lifelong dark-'
nass because, their parents could not afford
the services of eye specialists. It Is be
cause at the time of their birth their eyes
were not wsshed properly and riven a
treatment so simple that the humblest wo
man can administer It.
Try to amuse your self blindfolded for
an hour and you understand some of the
Inconveniences of blindness. Persons wkh
good eyes probably never appreciate the
full pathos of It. They don't lose liope of
seeing again. The committee quotes this
from Milton, the great blind singer:
"""'h?)?1 U'ht' """Pring of Heav'n flrst-
An ,1 th" 1 "vU,t M,
And feel they sovereign vital lamp; but
t nou

Seasons return, but not to me returns
uay, or the sweet approach of ev n or
morn,
Or sls-ht of vernal bloom, or summer s rose,
u. , k"' or hrds, or humar. face devlne;
But clouds Instead, and ever-during dark.
The Principal rsate.
Ophthalmia neonatorum Is the name by
which physicians know this principal cause
of the unnecessary blindness. It is an In
fectious disease appearing at the time of
birth. A professor in the University of
Leipslg twenty-afcht years ago announced
that a S per cent solution of nitrate of sil
ver dropped, a single drop. Into each eys
of a new-born Infant, would destroy the
germs of the disease, where these existed,
and would not Injure the sight of healthy
eye. In 1KS0. just before snd Just after
the application of his newly discovered pre
ventive, the percentage of ophthalmia
Uropped from 7H per cent to per cent.
The eyes of no baby born are safe with
out the application of this or a similar pre
ventive. The fact and the remedy are
among the abe's ot every physicians' knowl
edge. Yet there are between 6.000 and 7,000
persons In the United State who are
totally blind because the simple precaution
was not taken when they were born. Neg
ligence and Ignorance are the only causes.
Either one at such a time umounts vir
tually to putting the child'e eyea out.
This Is a dispassionate conclusion from
the following fact. By nature, the disease
Is: Easily preventable if precautionary

after the birth; curable. If when It de
velops, skilled medical treatment can be
secured quickly; fatal to sight If prompt
preventive and curative measures are not
taken, and ending in total blindness through
the destruction of the eyeballs.
Most of the negligence and Ignorance,
the committee believes, must be attributed
not to physicians, but to women who as
sist at the births.
Means or rretesllos.
The recommendations of the committee
may be summarized as follows:
First-The examination, licensing and
rglstratloq of mid wives by local boards of
health, with power to revoke licenses st
any time- power to require them to report
snnually In person for reglstrstton or to
hsve their license renewed annually; to
prescribe the outfit used; to require strict
conformity to the law relating to birth cer
tificates; to have power to enforce such
..,nd r'aultlons for the prsotice of
midwifery as the department of health
may adopt, and to require them Imme
diately to report to the department each
case or ophthalmia occurring under their
ministration, under penalty for neglect. If
found guilty, of fine and. for a subsequent
offense, forfeiture of license.
Second Circulars of Instruction to asslst
snts, mothers and nurses to be Issued by
board of health ln regard to the care of the
eyes of the new born Infant. For distribu
tion In large cities (hey should be printed In
several languages.
Third The preparation and predlsttibu
tlon by state boards of healtn to local
boards of small glaas tubes, each contain
ing a proper preventive solution. They
should be accompanied by specific direc
tions for use. The consensus of opinion
among medical men Is that ths chosen pre
ventive should be a derivative of the silver
salts, preferably a 1 per cent solution of
mlrate of stiver. The glsss tubes should
each contain the exact quantity to be uaed
for the eyea of one Infant. It Is estlmsted
that the annual cost of providing enough
or these tubes for the stste of New York
will nor exceed $3.ono.
Fourth Registration of Births: The
forms for certificates of birth to be issued
by the state board of health should hsve
frlnted upon them. In substance, as fol
ows: 1. What preventive for ophthalmia
neonatorum have you used for the child s
eyes?
2. If none, state ths reason therefor.
S. If no preventive measure has been
taken nor adequate reason for the omission
given, and the child develops ophthalmia
neonatorum, the law Imposes a penalty ot
fine or Imprisonment, or both, upon the re
sponsible parties, other thaa a legally
qualified medical practitioner.
4. Small glass tubes, containing the
prophylactic; adopted by the state board of
health, will be supplied free of rost to
physicians snd mid wives spplying for the
same, at the office of tiie county depart
ment of health.
Fifth Records That certain specified rec
ords be kept by physicians, snd by all
maternity Institutions and other hospitals
In which children are born.
To give fores to these recommendations,
the committee plans to latere the New
Tork legislature at Its next session in acts
embodying them. By co-operation with other
societies throughout the country, it hopes
to interest all the state legislatures In such
acts. If this work will preserve the sight
of 6,000 persons of the next generation, as
It might have done In this, who will say It
Is not worth while?
The committee numbers among Its mem
bers republicans and deocrats, Protestants,
Catholics and Jews all working In behalf
of a common object. Among the officers
of the association which appointed the
committee are Richard Watson Gilder, Miss
Helen Keller, Nicholas Murray Butler,
Samuel L. Clemens and others.
PRINCE OF G00D RIDERS
A Jlner front Jlnervllle with Beaches
of Decrees to
Barn.
The friends of Rev. J. R. N. Bell. D. D..
pastor of the First Presbyterian church of
Corvallls, Ore., say he hag advanced further
In fraternal orders than any other minister
in ths world. Few men of any profession
equsl his record. He belongs to practically
every widespread order In the world, ex
cept those In which Insurance Is the domi
nant feature. lie has ridden the goat ln
secret orders 161 times.
Dr. Bell holds one world's record In Ma
sonry. In point of service he is the oldest
grsnd chsplain In the Masonic order In the
world, having been grand chaplain of the
Grand lodge of Oregon for thirty-five con
secutive yesrs.
"He belongs to your lodge," was ths state
ment a speaker made In Introducing Dr.
Bell when ha delivered a lecture at the
summer Bible school In this city last year.
This statement applied to almost ever;' man
In ths large crowd.
He belongs to all branches of the Masonic
fraternity, the Kntghts of Pythias, the Odd
Fellows, the Elks, the Eagles and the Red
Men. He has taken 140 degrees In Masonry,
Including thirty-two Scottish Rits degrees,
twelvs Tork Rite degrees and ninety-six
Egyptian degrees. He Joined the Mssonlc
fraternity In March, 172. Hs is a charter
member of Al Ksder Temple of the Mystic
Shrine at Portland. Ha at one time Joined
the Ancient Order of United Workmen at
Roseburg. Ore., but does not now maintain
his membership In that order.
Many offlcas In all these orders havs been
held by Dr. Bell, and be la generally called
upon to officata as grand chaplain when
any of them celebrates an event of unusual
Importanca.
Dr. Bell was born January St, IS. In
Pulaski county Virginia, and was educated
at ths Masoaia college at WjihsvUls. Va-
He Is a veteran of the confederate armyr
having served throughout the wsr as a
member of Company I, Twenty-sixth Vir
ginia battailon, Eccles' brigade, Wharton'r
division, Early's corps. He participated In
thirty-two battles and many skirmishes and
was slightly wounded twice. '
"Were you an officer?" he was asked.
"No, snd therein I hold a record," laughed
the minister. "I am the only ex-confederate
living who went Into the war a pri
vate and came out a private. Every other
living ex-confederate I know of was a
colonel or at least a major."
Dr. Bell has lived In Oregon since March
28. 1174, and haa been engaged In the min
istry all of that time, doing soma editorial
work as a side issue. For ten yesrs he was
a member of the Board of Regents of the
Oregon Agricultural college, and at differ
ent times has been on the staff of lecturers
st that Institution. He Is now serving his
seventeenth year ss a public school director.

SUCTION JARRED HER NERVES
Woniis Want Illvorce from Has
band Too Noisy with
Soap, -
Mrs. Mine Lelder wants a divorce from
Ach I.eider, who eats his food with a
knife and his soup with a noise, accord
ing to a petition filed somewhat mys
teriously In the circuit court of St. Lrftuls.
The plaintiff says she has played the
role of wife to Ach since 1194. but that
life hss become too burdensome to be
yoked with hie iny longer. 8he was born
ln 1874. she says, snd wss graduated In
1(96 from Wellesley. "famous among the
colleges of the lend where blue stockings
ars aa prominent ss dslsles ln June."
There she learned the ways of polite
society and acquired good manners and
correct habits of eating, otherwise known
aa tabla manners. Consequently, the sight
of a person estlng with a knife or the
sound of soup gurgling Into the mouth
or the blowing of one's nose at meals or
the Inhaling of liquids or semt-llqulds by
the power of suction are sourcss of ex
cruclstlng pain and annoyance to her.
"Her husband," she says, ''bends over
his soup plata with his head until his
besrd simost dips into the soup, and
from the time of lifting the first spoon
ful to his lips until the last drop is
drained makes a noise skin to that of a
sawmill."
He contends, shs says, that this method
of taking soup koeps the muscles of his
face la action, and such exercise prevents
the growth of wrlnklea.
The plaintiff avers that thane conten
tions sis false, and ara known by lbs de
fendant, Ach Leider, to be false.
The plaintiff saya Ach la a lady killer,
or thinks he Is, and never leaves home
without a boutonnlere In his coat lapel.
He also snorss, she says, and she haa
requested him to sleep ln the bssement,
where he would not disturb anything but
the dog, but he has "stubbornly and per
sistently refused to do so." St Louis
Post-Dispatch.
CAN MAN PILOT STORMS?
Frenchman Pats In Tall Claim that
is Based on Some Experi
ments. To guide the storm bids fslr to fall
within the power of man. A case In which
the course-of a hailstorm was determined
by that of an electric transmission line Is
recorded ln Vaucluse, France.
The storm swept over an area of about
one mile and a half. Its direction corre
sponded to that of a 45,0MVvolt three
phase transmission line, which hss been
operating for less than a year.
The line Is roughly parallel to a chain
of mountains 1,000 to 1,100 meters high,
about 3,300 feet, called the I.uebron, which
has a reputation for attracting hall, st an
altitude from 2W to 400 meters, 660 to 1.300
feet, and Is situated from four to five kilo
meters (two to four miles south of the
Luebron. A number of nsrrow valleys run
dowa from the chain and are cut at right
angles by the line.
It was observed that the storm, nn en
countering at its start ona of the vslleys,
st first followed It toward the Luebron,
then crossed It at a point where ths bank
dipped, rejoined the course of the elec
tric line, which It had not completely de
serted, and thence followed the latter
closely until the hail stopped.
The effects of the storm were fait' 'most
strongly in the immediate vicinity of the
line, decreasing gradually on either side.
At the center of the stricken sone, along
ths trace and following the contours of
the electric cables, the hall fell without
rain during nearly a quarter of an hour,
while at the two sides it was accompa
nied by water. Storms In this region gen
erally coma in the opposite direction to
that which this one took and without
bringing hall. The observations Indicate
that the action of the current bad some
effect ln attracting snd directing the
storm.
A land owner about 1,300 feet from (ha
cables reported having seen near the ca
bles three grest balls twice the size of a
man's head, which remained suspended for
a moment and then exploded immediately
before the fall of hall. Chicago Tribune.
