Six Hundred Years old.

The Double Eye GLASS. However, Is Only
Six Hundred Years old.
Spectacles were invented just six
hundred years ago this fall. The use
of glass to aid the sight Of defective
eyes is. however, much older. Nero
looked through a concave glass in
watching the gladiatorial games, and
many other historical men Of his day
were dependent on similar devices for
lengthening their sight. Till the lat
ter part of the thirteenth century only
tho single glass was in use.
In 1900 the double glass was invented,
some say, by Salvino degli Armati;
others, BY the monk. Alexander, OF
Spina. In tho fourteenth century
spcctacles were used quite frequently
by the very wealthy and high born, al
though they Were still SO scarce that
they were fbequeathed in Wills with all
tho elaborate care that marked the dis
position OF feudal estate. The holy
Antonius, of Padua, who preached to
the fishes wisn men refused to hear
him, gave to the poor, according to the
legend. MT only his clothes. but also
his spcctacles.
The hrst spectacles, which were very
expensive, were made in Italy. Some
what later the manufacture of cheaper
glasses sprang up in Holland, and it
spread late in the fourteenth century
to Germany. Nurnberg and Rathenow
acquired fame for their glasses between
1890 and 1900. For many years glasses
were used only as means of aiding bad
eyes First in Spain appeared the fash
ion OF wearing glasses merely for the
sake Of wearing them. 1t spread rapid

Celtic was four days out from Liver

safe vantage ground of steamer chair,
which, dashed with spunyarn to the
brass handrail Of the chart-house, defied
the plunging of the vessel, as under a

letters the legend: MRS. Mullock." A
similar chair stood near by, but it was
empty, save for yellow-covered novel

The eyes of Mrs. Mullock now followed

The next day she is seated in the
