GLASSES FOR sPEcTAcLEs.
Different Colors Required BY Affections of
the Eyes.

Different Colors Required BY Affections of
the Eyes.
The ordinary white glass is made of
purity and freedom from color which
leaves but little to be desired. But a
greater degree of hardness might be
impaired to it, especially if it is intend
ed for eyeglasses without frame.
Besides colorless glass, however, col
ore1 raw material is made, chiefly in
tended for the protection of weak eyes.
Formerly green glass was much used
for protective spectacles, and Arctic
travellers have been very glad of them.
But green glass extinguishes violet,
and even blue rays, and causes objects
to appear in dirty colors.
Spectacles of blue glass, colored with
cobalt. are, therefore to be preferred.
Adams is reported to have been the
FIRST to recommend the use of blue
glass; but they were at first more wide
ly used in Germany, chiefly through the
recommendation of the great oculist,
Crate, of Bohm, and others. The blue
color of glass is chiefly to be recon-
mended because it absorbs those rays
in their passage which belong to the vel
low and orange portion of the spectrum,
in which the greatest brightness and
greatest heat are concentrated, and the
eyes, especially the weak ones, are con-
sequently greatly protected by the blue
color, while rays which such eyes are
able to bear obtain access. The mate
rial for blue glasses, which has to be
made in various shades to suit indi-
vidual eyes. is somewhat less hard than
that employed formerly for green spec
tacles, and is also inferior in that re-
spect to white glass, but is has gained
in durability compared with former de-
scriptions of glass.
Still greater is the progress recorded
in the manufacture and hardness of
smoked" glass, also used for protect
ing the eyesight This kind of glass,
which is colored gray or mouse-colored
by the addition of manganese, formerly
suffered from too great softness by the
addition OF large quantity of lead; but
the best manufactures now made are
nearly equal to white glass in point of
hardness The object of smoked glass
is to reduce the glare of light without
segregating colors.
Spectacles are also made of intensive
ly-yellow glass. but the use of this glass
is almost exclusively confined to glasses
employed for firing purposes. Yellow
glass extinguishes completely all other
colors. and this is suitable in cases
where distinctness of objects aimed at
is of prime importance.-Cha

B,a,pe at the Helm,

WARRINGTON, March 25.-The serious
ness of the Behriug sea situation is shown
by the attendance of Secretary Blaine at
the cabinet meeting today, notwithstand
ing his recent illness. The other mem-
bers were all present. Secretaries Foster
and Tracy held conference prior to the
meeting, presumably in regard to orders
to naval and revenue vessels assigned to
the duty of patrolling the sealing grounds.
1t is practically settled the warships
Charleston, Baltimors, Boston, Yorktown,
Adams, Ranger and Mohlcan and the
revenue vessels Corwin, Bear, Rush and
Albatross will be assigned to this duty.
1t Is understood decision was reached
that the government would await the
reply of Lord Salisbury to the presidents
iast note before proceeding on the as
sumption that the English government
will not cooperate in the measures OF
protection to the sealing industry.

HarneY Mines.

Notwithstanding the deep snow which
still remains in the mountains, says the
Harney Times, people are beginning to
come into the country and report that
hundreds more from nearly all localities
will soon follow. Preparatory work Is
still going on at the mines. A number
now have their bitches completed and
are busy drifting and stripping according
to the depth to bedrock. 1t is now be-
lieved that the majority of claims will be
prepared for work as soon as the water
starts in the spring. Contrary to the
growl of doubling Thomases, each day
brings renewed hope. The immense
richness OF the placer diggings is now
assured beyond any question, dollar to
the pan in some claims no longer creating
any excitement, and as high as ten cents
and two bits to the pan have been washed
out several miles down the creek. Two
or three ledges haye been struck and
pronounced by expert miners to, be i'm
Intensely rich, and miners In this locality
believe the Gold Gulch and Trout creek
discovery to be one of the best mines
ever struck on this coast. Iven Moore
was this week offered 80 head of fine
horses and $500 for one claim In Gold
Gulch which he smllingly declined. Mr..
Moore is an experienced miner, and is
well aware what his claim is, and is
man who will sell when the figures reach
es the wealth of his dirt.
Several business houses are now under
course of erection and more will soon
follow. For the benefit of those who are
contemplating coming in the spring we
will say that in the opinion OF old miners
now in this country there will be dis
covered other rich digglngs in these here
totore unexplored mountains. There is
no question but these mountains will be
thoroughly prospected as soon as it can
be done after the snow is gone, but this
will take several years of dil.gent work.
Every body is welcome and the lucky
man gets the prize.
Idol City IS the name Of a, new town
recently surveyed and laid off ON Trout
creek, just above the mouth of Gold
Gulch. Several buildings are already up,
and one store aud one or more hotels are
already in operation.

The seals are sare.

WASHINGTON, March 28.-Itis said on
good authority that the president and his
cabinet are we'll pleased with the concil.
latory tore of Lord Sallsbury's note of
the 2Sth inst, especially IS it is held to
concede the point that has been the prin-
clpal cause of contention, viz: renewal
of the modus vivendi of last year for the
protection of the seal fisheries. The al
legged concession is believed to be implied
in his proposition. to agree to modus
vlvendi in case the treaty of arbitration
is ratified, under the condition that each
government shall guarantee the other tor
damages incurred through the suspension
of sealing operations. One official, who
has been consulted by the president IN
regard to the negotiations, said be was
especially pleased with Lord Salisburys
admission that Great Britain will bold it
self liable for damage resulting to the
United States because of the modus Wv
endi IN the event that the verdict OF the
arbltrators is adverse to the continent.
1t is said, taking all together, Lord Sails
bury's note is satisfactory as indicating
good prospect for an amIcable settlement
of the question at issue. Further cores
pondence will be necessary to settle the
method of determining the character of
the damage claims.

will Re Rat,ded.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Lord Sails
bury's last communication to the presi-
dent stating the grounds upon which he
viii! consent to renew the modus ylvendi,
was laid before the senate this afternoon.
In transmitting the paper to the senate
the president added to the formal letter a
statement that Salisbury's reply was very
satisfactory and he was preparing a suit
able response. The character of this
letter will be substantial acceptance of
Lord Salisbury's tender, with few mod
itications that doubtless will be arranged
without difficulty. There can be no
question the reception of the communica-
ton largely removed any doubt of the
favorable action of the senate upon the
treaty and, in fact, when adjournment
was had it was the general belief that the
treaty will be ratified tomorrow. Much
of the debate TO-DAY was devoted to the
question of damages that might be
awarded by the arbitrators for or against
this country. Senator George took a
prominent part in discussing this point,
aud, fortified by number of authorities,
proceeded to address the senate at length.
the newest feature of his speech being a
euloglstic reference to President Harri
sons attitude in the negotiations. No
specific prediction of the amount of dam.
ages was attempted, but senators familiar
with the subject cite the figures to show
that poachers secured $4,000 sealskins
last year, which meant the destruction of
of over 100000 seals. In dismal places
only small portion was killed, and it is
believed that not more than 10000 skins
were taken in the Behring sea proper,
and taking the government valuation at
$40 per skin, the damage we could right
fully claim for last years operations of
the poachers would not be considerable.
On the other hand, the loss sustained by
Canadian vessel-owners, assuming they
were illegally excluded from the seal
waters, must be much larger than our
own.
