' An interesting article, containing great deal ol valuable information, is that on "The Eye" published in an other column of The DAy. The town,' county and State tax listers are readv for business, and it is well for citizens to bear in mind that failure to list means double taxes.

The eye may be considered as a focus ing glasS"and screen, th.e cornea and erystal-lirjeiens, being ,the focusing lens and, the' retina the .-. screen. : A perfect eye, is one which, while in a state of rest, as when looking at a dis tance, has its focus upon the retina. There Srevrf few eyes that aie ex- exactly perfect fn this respect, and it is due to the muscular parts of the eye that we get correct images upon tne retina, i.e., a perfect focus. When an eve lacks in ' 'a small degree this correctness, the slight 'strain- upon its muscular parts, through which it adapts itself7 for different distances', is borne without discomfort or barm, but vhen the "fbcus1 'falls too far, .back oyjn . front of the retina, Or lorms, a distorted amae tnerepn, me muscuiar rarr.hPrornenncanable of the task of 1 . . . . , the eyeball becomes bulged backward, the external r coat . stretching into a protuberance.

This is. . a cotvaffioh in whicb ' the eyeball is flattened - from before.; V backwards just tle. opposite of Mvo- la. The rays in this case do not tfet to a focus, but yould come to a point behind the retina."' Persons'" of this kind get clear images on their retina , only by increasing the focal power of. their lens. This is done, by a muscu lar effort, and can only be maintained a certain length of time. When it fails there comes a sense of fatigue and ? a blurring of vision.- . . v Fourth. Astigmatism. This is the r . condition in which there is a difference in the refractory power (and hence fo-N cal distance) of the different diameters of the media (cornea and lens) through which light passes while entering the eye. Instead of rays of- light -being reduced to a point on -the retina; there is an oval or a line blurred. f We will suppose a case in which ;the lens ancr eornea in the , perpeiidjcular diarneter ' were of a curve to bring the top and bottom rays together, while in the . horizontal" diameter the curve is too great, so that, the side rays would.come together in front ofthe 'retina,. : The individual would see horizontal' lines like the hands of a clock ffheri at'9 and" 3,' but perpendicular lines; as at 6;and 12, would be indistinct or .invisible.
