roughness of surface in any part. The
most favorable condition for the use
of glass eye is that in which the or
gan still remains in the socket, although
shrunken and destroyed for all pur-
poses of sight. In the ajority of cases
the oculist tries upon the patient first
an eye smaller than the size required
to mate with the sound eye. This is
especially necessary when the parts
are still tender. In a short time this
may be removed and larger substi-
tuted until the required size is arrived
at. II there be a sufficient portion of
the natural organ remaining it is i'm
possible to distinguish the glass eye
from its mate.
The remedying of deformity is
among the slightest of the advantages
resulting from thes use of the glass
eye. If the organ be lost before the
patient is fully grown an artificial one
will prevent contraction of the eyelds.
1t obviates the discomfort and irritation

quently and thoroughly cleansed and
then dried with lint or soft cotton.
If it is placed in cold water the change
in temperature is very apt to crack and
rouEhen the enameled surface. After
being worn some time, particularly if
it be subjected to anything which ap-
proaches careless handling. the fine
gloss will disappear. The eye is liable
to injure the inner skin of the lids, and
either new one must be procured, or.
when possible, the old one repolished.
The latter may be often done at slight
expense and the eye put in as good con-
dition as when first purchased. The
cost of an artificial eve varies from ten
to fifteen dollars. This may seem a
high price. but it is rendered necessary
by the varied and extensive stock the
oculist is obliged to keep on hand. The
number of variations produced by color,
formation and cause of destruction to
the eye is so great that, even with thou
sands of glass eyes in stock, it is often
necessary to manufacture one expressly
to suit a patients needs.-Philadelph

THE LARGEST LENS.
The Splendid Achievement of IN Amer
lean Manufacturer.

The Splendid Achievement of IN Amer
lean Manufacturer.
The Clarks have accomplished what
has long been regarded as an impossi-
Bile thing, and one which no European
manufacturer of lenses could be induced
to attempt. This is the making of per-
feet lens of more than three feet across
the face. No one but this American
manufacturer ever thought of exceed
ing the twenty-six-inch lenses which
are in use at several observatories on
both continents, one at the naval OBJ
servatory at Washington, through
which Mr.. Hall discovered the long
sought satellites of Mars and many
double stars. The highest power was
supposed to be reached when the Lick
telescope in California was put up with
thirty lens. The difficulties to
be met in the production of perfectly
clear lens of great size are SO many that
the European observers who have
wanted anything above the twenty-six-
inch lens have had to take the reflect
ing telescope, which has a concave mir
ror. 1t requires, of course, much
same amount of light and the same
magnitude of object.
The making of this forty-one and a
half-inch lens, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, is regarded as the
browning work of Mr.. Alvan Clark's
life. 1t is probable no larger lens will
ever be made. Under existing condi-
tions larger telescope than the
Yerkes-the telescope of the Chicago
university observatory for which the
lens is made-would be of no great
value. To increase the magnifying
power is at the same time to increase
the distractions to clear vision. When
the object is magnified the atmospheric
agitation is increased to such degree
that distinctness is virtually sacrificed
when the object glass is larger than
forty-one and a half-inches. It is
doubtful if the Yerkes will be any
more useful than the Lick. Some day
it may be possible to remove the OBJ
stacles to clearness in the case of a
powerful lens, though the only reason
for suggesting it is that Prof Tyndall
was able to construct glass by which
the blue of the atmosphere was dissi-
pated in looking through a deep space.
II the Yerkes glass answers expecta-
tions it will enable an experienced OBJ
server to catch occasional glimpses of
the Mars canals, which, though drawn
firmly on the Vatican maps, are vague
and wavering and almost imaginary
through any glass. They can be seen
at all only by the trained observer.
The great telescope will be most useful
in the study of double stars, which is
now a matter Of special interest to
many observers,

WEARING GLASS EYES.
Great Benefits Resulting from
Their Use.
Some Particulars of Their COnstr1e-
ton and Care which Are Not
Commonly Known-Clever
COunterfeits.

Many of you have known men for
years who carried glass eyes, and you
never suspected that they had any
visual trouble except slight optical
defect until they have voluntarily told
you the truth. But nowadays this is
not considered strange. The duplica
ton of the human eye in form, color,
motion, in everything except the sight
itself is one of the great triumphs of
modern art. From all time men who
have lost one of their organs of sight
seem to have made some attempt to
remedy the deformity. Efforts were
even made to improve the appearance
of the human corpse, az is shown by
some of the Egyptian mummies. Among
various peoples use has been made
of gold, brass and porcelain in
the construction of artificial eyes, but
until the early portion of the eighteenth
century their wearers must have found
them very unsatisfactory. About that
period the French found that by a com
bination of glass and enamel the requi-
site finish could be secured. From that
discovery the manufacturers progressed
gradually until it attained its present
state of perfection. To-day no one need
be seen with eyelids sunken in and
wearing that totally blank expression
of countenance which is the inevitable
accompaniment of an absenteye.
The popular idea is that the artificial
eye is in the form of sphere and com
pletely fills a cavity after the removal
of the natural organ. In point OF fact,
the glass has about the same shape as
a portion of an eggshell cut off very
close to the smaller end. The sclerotic
part, or the white of the glass eye. is
one-fortieth of an inch thick, while the
cornea, or the colored portion, is one
twentieth of an inch thick. The use Of
the enamel gives a perfectly smooth
surface, under which are made, in ex-
act reproduction of the natural eye,
the minute veins seen covering the
white portion. The cornea has a very
slight elevation, and in color can be
made to match any orb. The edge of
the glass is sometimes ground and used
without any further finish. Ground
edges are liable TO produce irritation.
The best glass eyes are those which
have delicately enameled edges, pre-
senting, even under the microscope, no
