BOSSY  SEES  BLUE

Thousands  of  cows  wearing  blue  spectacles
is  a curious  sight  in  Russia.  Blue  glasses  were
recommended  because  the  reflection  of  the  light
upon  the  snow  has  been  so  blinding  that  tens
of  thousands  of  cattle  have  been  attacked  with
ophthalmia.  According  to  a recent  dispatch
from  Vienna  the  entire  supply  of  blue  glass  in
Vienna  has  been  exhausted  for  this  purpose,
and  it  has  been  necessary  to  obtain  additional
supplies  from  Paris  and  London.
