These Spectaces are manufactured from "Mi-

called damon on account of their hardness and
brilliancy.
1t is well known that spectacles cat from Brazil

because of their polarizing light.
Having been tested with the polariscope, the dia'
mond lenses have been found TO admit fifteen per
cent. less heated rays than any other pebble.
They are ground with great scientific accuracy,

The Growth Of d Feather.
From the Popular Science Monthly.

In the skin of bird where a new
feather is to grow there is little pit,
and at the bottom of this an elevation
or pyramid; extending up one side of
this pyramid is groove, or furrow,
deepest at the base, and gradually grow
ing shallswet Until 1t disappears near
the top from each side of this furrow
a great many smaller grooves extend
around to the other side of the pyramid,
and these also decrease in depth, and at
last disappear just as they are about to
meet on the side opposite the large fur
row. The whole pyramid is covered
with skin, and the surface is made Of
the same scales, or fiattened cells, that
are found over The rest of the surface of
the body; but instead Of falling offwhen
they are pushed out by the new ones
below them, they become united or
welded to each other, so as to form a
horn coat over the surface of the pyra-
mid, with ridges on its lower or inner
surfacs, corresponding to the grooves
on the pyramid ; aid, as new cells grow
at the base, this coat or cast of the sur
face is pushed upward till it breaks at
It's thinnest part, which is, of course,
the smooth part withoutridges opposite
the large furrow; and then, as it is
pushed onward and Hattened, it assumes
the form of a feather, the ridge formed
III the main furrow being the shaft,
while the casts of the side grooves form
the separate barbs of the vane. When
all of the vane has been formed and
pushed forward, the pyramid loses its
grooves and becomes smooth, and the
wall now formed on its surface, being
of the same thickness in all parts, does
not break, but remains tubular, and
forms the quill, which is attached to
what is left of the pyramid. A finger
nail or a hair is formed from the same
kind OF scales in the same way, the pro
cess differing only in those features
which give to each organ It's special
character. Feathers, scales, hair claws,
and nails, all are made alike from the
dead, fattened cells crowded to the
surface by the process of growth.

Electrical Deposition of Iron,

From a recent elaborate article on
this subject, it seems that great progress
has been made by Klein, of St Peters
burg, IN elcctrotypinSiron. He bass
ceeded III producing masses that can be
worked as well as steel plates from en-
graved copper plates, combining all the
softness of copper for the engraver and
the hardness OF steel for the printer. 1t
Is true that the precipitatediron obtain
ed by this process is also very brittle,
and owing to the presence Of hydrogen,
has a specific gravity of only 7.475 !;
but the hydrogen can be expelled by
heating, and the iron left with specific
gravity of ISL being perfectly NAL
liable, and very elastic and flexible like
sheet steel, capable of being welded
IN short, a perfect wrought IRON.
