One thing Billy saw which hp could spectacles to protect their eyes from the glare of the snow, which stretches for hundreds of miles on all sides till late spring, and nets up a serious af- fection that may result In total blind- ness. Snow blindness Is not a new com- plaint. There are. many Instances of It in history. The glare of the sun shining on the snow causes a pricking pain ; then there is a sensation of grit under the eyelids; light of any kind becomes extremely painful and the sight begins to go. If the matter is not attended to, the eyelids awell and the vision may remn.In Impaired for months. On the vast stoppes of Russia the cattle that graze during the early spring, when the ground for hundreds of miles IB glistening white, are troubled with anow blindness; but several years ago an Englishman In- vented a apectal form of spectacles with brown glass which could be fas- tened round tin horns of cattle with leather straps. Quite a thriving business grew up In the manufacture of these spectacles, but the war put a atop to It, and the cattle Buffered severely. Now HuBla Is anxious to adopt the remedy again.

Nansen used these Eskimo snow spectacles In Greenland, and found them very good, as the absence of glass prevented the obscuring of the sight by the condensation of moisture on the lenses. Captain Perry, an ear- lier explorer, and his men, also wore native snow spectacles. On one oc- casion, when a party of men set out from Parry's boat without this pro- tection, every man was struck with blindness, and no one was able to' di- rect the sledge. . Large bodies of men have some- times been affected by snow blindness. In Peru a whole division of the army marching from Cuzco to Pano became blind, and a hundred guides had to be summoned to lead them to their des- tination. Many of the afflicted men wandered away and fell over pre- cipices. In 1793, In the Alps, bodies of Ptedmontese troops were similarly incapacitated.
