To Prevent Sunstroke

As we ure now iu the inidsfc of the heated torm, and sunstrok-e, attended by illness or death, may be expected, those whose ocoupation obliges them to be exposed to the rays of oíd Sol would do weil toread the i'ollowing experienceof a gentleman as told by an exchange : "About a year since I saw in a newspaper an account of a case of sunstroke, written by the party himself. After suffering a long time from the attack and having to a oonsiderable degree recoverect, he experienoed suífering even from th9 raya of the raoon. This .led him to the reíiection that it was not altogether the heat of the sun that produced prostration. After inuch research he discovered that the injury came from the chemical ray and not from the heat ray. Ho was guided to this by observing the í'act that a photograph could. not be taken through a yellow glass. Accordingiy, he lined his hat with two linings -oue of oraugo yellow to arrest the chemical ray, and one of green to arrest the heat ray. Thus prepared he went ■vhere the rays of the sun were most intense, with perfoct impunity. It is well known that the negro is seldom or never sunstruck. The color of his skin over the skull being of the orange yellow may assist in accounting for the fact. I practiced upon this suggostion all summer, lined my hat with green and orange vellow paper, and had confidence enough ia the truth of the theory to neglect my umbrello, which I had never done before. I mentioned it to many who tried it also, and in ruauy cases that came under my observation they uniformly asserted that the oppressive hoat of the sun upon the head was much relieved."
