The opacit, may cxi-t in the iioily of the • leu- it elf, or it may forma layer on its surface just hem-utli the capsule inclosing it. The cause of cataract is variotish stated. Init mu- 1 author . ities are agreed in i- '/aiding the opacity as a result of the vain el' fort- of the lens to change it- shape in order to focus the ray.- of light exactly at the retina and so secure distinct vision. In youth this can la- done readilv hy tlu- little irmsclc ' within the eyeballs, hut as the years i go on tlu- lens gets harder and h- - • readily changes its shape, and soon after folly it i- so hard that perfect accommodation, us this change of shape is called, is impo-siblc.

I’.veu more important, the put ling on of glasses a- soon as tin slightest indistinctness of vision i perceived is an almo-t certain pre vent i\e of cataract. The pulling tiiid hauling and tugging at the hardening lens which the eye inns ales must do in order to change it -1 -hape for the varying needs of near i and far sight irritate tlu- lens and induce a low state of inflammation, i which remits in cataract.

Kalian talked t<> them ail thev were his deare-t friend-. After a time one or the other of them would lower it- head, collapse its hood arid begin to try to wriggle awav, whereupon Kalian would give it a smart little rap on the tail with his -tick and bring it in -tantiv to attention again. Whether this man po-scs-cd tiny special mag ic over these cobra- or wlietlier the , description given below of how he , Could handle and play with them : was .-imply due to his method 1 can not say. 11-* himself repudiated tin idea of magic and asserted positive- r !v that any one who had tin* neces sary in-rvi and dexterity could do , exactly the s.gme. He used no reed instrument or music of ariv kind to propitiate the reptiles.

'The looseness of the grip appeared to he the main se cret. 'The snakes, being in no way hurt, would then slowly crawl through hi- lingers and wind them selves round his neck, bis shoulders and hi- arms. ’They appeared to realize that no harm was to In- done tln-in. and they made no effort to resent the handling, lie would pick them gently off one arm and place j them on the other and. in fact, stroke them and pet them as if they j had been a pair of harmless worms, j ('onihill Magazine.
