Distortion Of lenses 6y pressure or strain.
Many photographers have from time
to time remarked that it Is Occa-
sionally impossible to focus an object
sharply and clearly. even with a lens
known to yield satisfactory result In
ordinary cases. Setting aside such
obvious causes as light shin ng into the
lens, or the presence of moisture on
one of the glasses, there can be little
doubt that the most frequent source of
the difficulty in question is bending
or distortion of the objective by some
mechanical force acting on 1t. In the
case of lenses FURNISHED into their
mounts, a contraction OF the ring by
rold may distOrt the lens uniformly, IL
its tit i'm the mount is aeeurate, merely
altering the focus and disturbing the
corrections of the instrument. II, how
ever. the cell in which the lens may be
mounted is not turned with extreme
accuracy, or if the outside of the lens
itself is not truly round, so irregular a
distortion may arise as to altogether
destroy the defining power of the COM
bination to which the lens belongs.
There is no question that the practice
Of furnishing lenses into their mounts
has lis disadvantages, for when this
plan is adopted the operator has no
easy remedy against a "frOstbOund"
lens, excepting to keep the instrument
warm during the time he is using 1t.
If on the other hand, the glasses are not
cemeDted in their cells, they sre liable
lot only to be misplaced by careless
persons, but also to be distorted by
being screwed down In their places by
an undue degree of force. Lenses
should generally be left just the least
bit loose in their mOunls-not quite
enough to cause any possibility OF
shaking, but the right degree of loose
ness can generally be estimated bJ
making an attempt to turn the lens In
its setting. Few persons realizs the
ease with which glass bends and yields
TO pressure.

SOWING GRASS SEED.-1he prevail
ing practice OF sowing both grain and
grass seed together is now being gene
rally criticised as both wasteiul and
poor economy. If the land is rich snd
IN fair cultivation IL may and general
ly will succeed, Tor grass being tie na-
tural covering OF the land, will stand
great deal without being run OUT"
but III a majority OF cases il Will prove
lar better il the grass Is sown alone.
With the double sowing comes deple-
ton OF the land which must interfere
with the growth of the gIass-plant, and
when in the hot summer days the grain
is suddenly removed, the tender aad
heretofore shaded.plant is subjected TO
The burning rays oi the sun, and is
often killed, for under these circum-
stances OF growth they cannot be the
well matured and healthy plants that
grow alone. Once the practice was To
sow grass seed In the spring, but un-
lees Ihe ground was ploughe and pre-
pared the fall before so as To inure early
sowing, the lisbiliIy of the weeds 10
spring up behind the plow Is very
probable. Professor Flint recommends
SOW ing grass seed inthe latter part OF
August, or if impossible, then 10 SOW
the last Thing before winter sets in,
IN which event the soil will get an ear
ly start, and will, In the most cases, do
better than spring sowiBg.
