YELLOW GLASS FOR SPECTACLEs.-
Yellow glass gives greater rest to the
eyes than either blue or green, and
objects at distance can be seen more
distinctly with than without it. At
rihe.practice the yellow glass was
found to take off the glare of the
light without impeding vision, and al
lowed the men to see the targets most
distinctly. yellow glass cuts of
chemical rays, and, perhaps, on that
account has less injurious effect on
the eyes.
