The jewelers. Review on the subject OF
focal distance of spectacle lenses says:
Place the end of measure Of thirty or
forty inches in length against smooth wall
or other suitable ground, in pia.u view of
some well defined object a few r. distant;
for ins-a- q building or window on the
other : Ge ,t Lac street. Then p'se. the edge
of your lens on the measure. and move 1t
backward or forward until o spectrum is
formed, or, IN other words, until a clear and
distinct outline Of the distant object is pro-

sufficiently near for all practical purposes
the exact focal distance of the lens, and will
correspond in inches with the number on al:
properly marked convex spectacIes.

The club organizations furnish the op-

who are not connected with the ordinary
campaign organizations. 1t should be, 1
think, the purpose Of your membership,
not only to take part In the demonstrations
Of the campaign, but more especially to do
that Individual work which Is after all the
most efficient in securing accessions.
This is just the time to do that sort of
work and our Buckeye boys are doing it,
to good effect And they should keep on do
ing it, and more and more of it. This is a
campaign where figures and facts can be

Concerning recent dynamite develop
ments in Chicago, the Cincinnati CONNER
ctdl Gazette says:
1t has been q matter OF some surprise
that the dynamiters in Chicago have been
so quiet since the execution Of the group
concerned In the Haymarket bomb throw
ing. Those who know the nature of the
anarchist. presumed there was something
going on looking to revenge and terroriza-
ton, and we have reports from Chicago of
the discovery Of murderous plot. Certain
individuals and buildings had been marked
for assassination and destruction. Some of
the confederates have been traced
and captured, and others are to
be seized. The murderous schemers,
of course, had provided themselves
with dynamite. This agent has been
called by the desperadoes who are deter
mined to employ Il, force of civilization.
The use for 1t Is, however, warfare upon
civilized society. There was indicated In
the execution at Chicago that in case of
such war In this country the authorities
will deal with criminals and all their agen-
cies with relentless determination not to
be found in Russia.
A republic is stronger than an empire to
fight the subterranean Influences that assail
the men who do their duty and the highest
achievements OF manhood. 1t Is important
that the discovery announced was made in
Chicago. Lives and property are saved by
the good work of the police. The plot was
shallow and the first stories gross exag-
gerations.
