his letters have ceased he wrote nearly every dsy a politic man ons who coald hide his time was frederick harkinson and he al lowed the sua to rise and set many times before he again called npon mrs

marian stafford became mrs mor ton and no enemy made mischief thk eyk au intcrestlnr lecture delivered by ur d mafic qaelpb befure the scientific society the last lecture of the tonne under the auspices of the guelph scientific society waa delivered the other evening by mr o d fringe in tbe societys rooms and as mnch informal ion of value tc the pablic is given we reproduce a part of the lecture mr priuge began by giving an account of the nature of light audits most impor tant laws especially that of refraction by rueans of a prism he showed how it was that the ordinary white sunlight was in parting through a prism broken up into all the various colors of the rainbow owing to the different degrees of refrangibiiity possessed by the various ray passing on to the subject of lenses he showed by dia grams that a lens is sun ply a pair of prisrni placed edge to edge the thick edges in contact if the lens is convex and the bin edges together when the lens is con cave by means of chalk diagrams on the blackboard he clearly indicated the paths of light rays paasing through prisms and lenses of variona forms he next exhibited colored diagrams of the human eye and its various parts point ing oat that there are four lenses in the eye which serve to refract the rays entering it and to bring them to a feens on the retina at the back of the organ from this the impression is conveyed by means of the optic nerve to the brain and the result is the sensation which we call light clear- nees of vision depends on the accurate focasing of rajs from observed objects on the retina aud anything that interferes with this makes sight indistinct hence the necessity of spectacles of various forms to correct the defects caused by abnormal forma of eyes the effect of these lenses being to cause the pictures of object to be thrown exactly ou the retina and lhas make distinct vision tbe various imperfections of sight were next mentioued and their caases explained they axe cniefly presbyopia or old bight hyperopia or farsight myopia or short- sight astigmatism and muscular irregu- laritief of these presbyopia is the most common coming to everyone at he ad- vances towards old age the cause of this defect in vision wxs verj clearly explained by the lecturer in youth the ciliary muscles attracted to the crystalline lens of of the eye enables the person to accommo date his eye to objects at various dislances by altering slightly the form of the lens bat as old age comes on the muscles lose the akcient batterinqttks they exerted greater powej than any gun or cannon invented up to tbe year 1sc0 these batteringrams were probably as ef fective it knocking dowji a wall or staving in the side of a ship as the bct modern cannon but for making a breach the gun are far superior such was the solidity and thickness of the walls of jerusalem that josephns tells us it took all of one night fo an enormous batteringram to dislodge four stones vitro vina has left us the description ol a ram weighing isoooo pounds but prob- ably the most celebrated of all the ancient movingtower rams was tbat constructed by demetrius poliorcetei at the siege of rhodes the hue of the tower was seven ty five feet square the ram iuell wts an assembly of large square beams resting on wheels in size proportioned to the weight cf the structure and all are riveted together with iron tba felloes of the wheel were three feet thiok and strengthened with iron plates from each of the four angles of the tower a large pillar cf wood was carried np to a height of 150 feet and these pillars were inclined towards one another the tower has three stories communicating by two staircases each three sides of the ma chine were plated with iron to protect them against fire in front of each story there were loop holes screened by leather car- tains to keep oat darts arrows etc each story was provided with ymachinery for throwing large stones ani dirts and in the lower story wis tb3 ram ltlf ihirty- fath oms loug and fashioned at the end into an iron beak or prow the eutire machine was moved forward by s500 soldiers bat it can easily be understood that among so many men rtpme musf be more or less exposed to the enemys darts and arrows and so to drive the euemy from the walla an j open places to break the roofs of his houses and otherwise snnpy him machines were neceaaary tor throwing missiles from small darts up to huge boulders the watcfl to wes a minister in bajtimorejias been com pa ting the size of beaven and reaches tbe conclusion that it contains exactly 5759- 750000000 rooms each iq by 16 feet in size ha is not the first professed minister who exhibits his lack of good sense by dab bling in matters he krjws nothing aboul sach things manifest the lack of reverent piety ai well as a lack of good sense the new york obntr says on san- i dav last the rev c h parkharst dd this power to apme extent and the result paflor rf he uldil0q vedoe pre8byteriii u that rays of light entering the eye while i charch bqrpri5ed hl corikre2at by ex- we are looking at reading distances and j pre8liac himeli emphatically in favor of paasing through the various lenses come to j tfae frefi tywtem he f re marked i believe thoroughly in free a focus behind the retina jaad therefore only a confused image of the object looked at is thrown on the retina itself and con veyed to the brain this defect is reme- died by placing a convex lens in front of the eye which artificially does the work o the lees originally provided by nature but grown stiff from advancing years and thus bringing the focus on the retina again the subject of myopia or shortsighted ness was very fully treated xo one mr pringle said is born short- sigh ted it is jtrue fat may inherit a tondency to this j from the fact tbat his eyes are soft and are liable to be made myopic if improperly usecl the germans aa a nation seem to be peculiarly liable to myopia and we find that a very large percentage of them are compelled to wear spectacles the fault in this case is exactly the opposite of hyper opia the eye is drawn oat as it were from front to back so that the retina ia too far away from the front of the eye this causes the rays entering the eye w be brought to a focus in front of the retina so that a con fused image is produced the myopic subject attempts to correct ihis by bringing the object looked at closer to the eye this causes the rays entering the pupil to be more divergent and lhe consequence is that they- are not brought to a focas so soon in other words the focus instead of being in front of the retina is exactly on it and clear vision resoita but this expe dient tends to elongate the eye still farther and therefore to increase j the evil the proper remedy is to use concave lenses which produce the same effect withoat far ther injuring the organ in this connection it is cf the greatest importance to pay at- tentian to the way in which children use thec eyes if in reading the type is small or indistinct or the light is bad tbe book is sore to be held too closa in order to see the letters clearly and shortsightedness is the inevitable result careful examin ation of the eyes of thousands of children has shown that that there are many more suffering from myopia than is generally be lieved youth is the time to attend to this as no one accept in rare cases becomes shortsighted after they grow op the lecturer also explained the defects in the hyperopic or farsighted eye and their different pecuiiarities which cause in some cases cross eyes head ache mus cular fatigue etc as the time had expired astigmatism end muscular irregularities were briefly bat clearly dealt with creat ing a feeling in those present that the speaker was thoroughly conversant with the subject at the conclusion of he lecture the vice- president in the name of the society thanked mr pringle very heartily for his exceedingly instructive address a gener al discassion of the subject followed in the course of which a number of questions were asked and satisfactorily answered mr pringle also exhibited the cards and the large and valuable collection of lenses osed in testing sight and these were examined with much interest by many of those who were present pews and if my people see fit to abolish the rents and depend upon voluntary con tributions i will accept for compensation
