"DANGERS TO EYESIGHT.”

The old STY of eyesight roined by burn ing the midnight oil is out of date to-day. The modern bugbear is our electric light system. In a lecture before the Royal Society on Dangers to Mr. Bawtree claimed that 50 per cent of the middle classes in Great Britain were forced to wear glasses, and laid the blame at the door of the modern high-power lighting system and to over- much attendance at the Linoms.

With light, however strong, thrown, on the object and not on the eye, no harm can posably be done to sight. Even the strain of watching, the Kinema screen-s

strain much less consi domble than that of watching the magic Lantern image can be reduced to a mini- mum by subdued lighting in the theatre. A far more serious matter, and ono which is generally overlooked, was
