A German scientific journal states
that the surprising number of 8, OOO, 900
glass eyes are made every year in
Germany and Switzerland, while one
French house manufactures 800, 900 of
them annually. The pupil is made of
colored glass, and sometimes red lines
are painted on the inner surface to
simulate the veins. The largest num-
Der of these eyes are bought by labor
ers who are exposed to fire, and are
consequently liable to lose an eye.
An artificial eye rarely lasts more than
FIVE years, as the secretions of the
lachrymal glands cloud the surface of
the glass.

SCIENCE AND INVENTION.

A white tar has been invented. The
beauty of the substance is that under
no climatic conditions will it become
soft, so that in csulking the decks of
a ship it will probably supersede pitch.
