FOR THE NEAR.SIGHTED,
New Working spectacles That VIII
Improve the Vision.

Improve tne NisiOn.
New working spectacles for very
near.sighted people have been recently
invented by the German army sur
geon, DIR. Roth, in Berlin. II was
known for long time that people who
suffer from slight cataracts in their
eyes, or from dim sight. can see better
il plate which is absolutely Opaque
and fitted with very small opening
IN the centre is placed before the eye.
Such an apparatus can be used only in
very limited way, however, for the
field of vision through this small
aperture is exceedingly small, and
therefore it lacks practical use. DIR.
Roth's idea was to place diaphragm
containing many apertures instead of
one central one over the eye, thus
giving it a much larger field of vision.
A further improvement on DR.. Roth's
idea was recently perfected by DR..
Hoilborn, of Breslau, who constructed d
spectacles fitted with such opaque dia.

without this attachment, as clrcum-
stanced demand. A sieve.like Opaque
plate fits over the glass lenees, and is
fastened by means of little hook,
which also does service when the
Opaque plate is to be fastened out OF
the way, as shown in the illustration.
BY means of these Opaque plates very
near-sIgnted people can do without
the very strong concave glasses. the

While with kitchen work l wresue,

Gracefully her bike she rides.

Father wants to go to bed;

Going TO make a speech. she said.

Mother wants hot griddle cakes.
