The OptiCian Service

There's just as much diff erence in the skill of opticians as there is between the quail ty of the lenses and the quail ty of the "gold" that goes in to the making of the frames
 For instance, some places tell you about their rolled gold spectacles and eye-glass- es. The roll applies to the way the gold leaves them. hey can buy that sort of glass at a few dollars by the dozen
 We would not even remotely dream of offering our public such wares coupled with such lenses. We would far rather take costly time and persuade you and help you to get the lense exactly suited to your eyes, and a quality of frame that would last and, in the end, save you money.

was going to touch at Perrin for pure

captain was still at the festive board,
got into man- o:-war which happened

did not leave Alden till the following
morning.

A NecetShle BATTERY.

A German professor by the name Of
Leipsic has discovered in India tree
which is natural electric battery.
When the dark green leaves Of the
tree were touched with the fingers a
tiny spark was emitted and distinct
electrical shock was felt. Professor
Leipsic found that even at distance
of 50 feet the tree had a strong in
fuence upon the magnetic needle.
These magnetic variations varied ac-
cording to the time Of day. They were
strongest at noon, but almost entirely
disappeared at midnight. The elec-
tricity also disappeared in wet weather.

nomenon is attempted. d.-Philadelphia

on the Baltimore & Ohio system is
No. 1913. 1t is one Of their ten
wheel locomotives with 73-in"h driv-

win company, and not only the best
of the lot, but the best on the road
for running record and for repairs.
1t Las been constantly in service for
nearly nine years, has neve: had an
accident to itself or to any car it has
ever hauled, and has been late less
times than any other engine in use by
the company and has cost almost
nothing for repairs. Whole years
have passed without having to send
this engine to the repair shor, al
though the other niue engines which
were built at the same time by the
same man and fron- the same material
are laid up frequently.

How Balloons Are Made.

Balloons are manufactured Of gold.
teater's skin, which, though small
toy ones had been made Of it,
could not be produced in sufficient
quantities for the large balloons until
Colonel Templer invented and per-
fected the process, which, according
to the Pail Mall Magazine, is briefly
as follows:
The goldbeater's skin is made up OF
quantities Of a certain thin animal
membrane 10000, Of these are re-
quired for balloon of 10000 cubic
feet capacity, which is first freed
from all fatty substances and then
soaked in a solution of glycerine and
water. They are then applied to
boards cut in the form and to the size
of the gore of the balloon required:
others are then superrosed until u
thickness Of four layers has been
reached, great care being taken thss
no air bubbles remain between tie
skins. After this fourth layer method
of strenthening is resorted to IN tie
shape Of net manufa ctured OF skin.
After this net two or three more layer;
of mem branes are applied. The whole
is then allowed to dry, and solution
of boiled linseed oil is used as a var
nish. The fabric is then quite indis-
soluble, and the membranes cannot
by any possible means be separated
from one another; but sometimes, to
render the honogeneity the more per-
feet, solution Of bichromate Of pot
ash is sponged over the fabric.

Legends of the Noon.

4 queer, changeable old fellow IS
the Nan in the Neon. If You jv@ss
glance at him casually in goo:
evening glad-to -see-yon" way, he mods
at you pleasantly and you are con-
scious of two big dark eyes, a gener-
Gus nose and wide, smiling mouth
the kind Of a mouth that boy would
like when he eats watermelon.
But if you sit down and look at him
very closely and wonder what he is
doing up there you suddenly cease to
see the big eyes and the broad nose,
and behold little, weary, bent old
man toiling along with a bundle Of
fagots on his back. Sometimes he ap-
pears as if by magic and you wonder
where he came from. Old-time people
tell how a certain wicked man stole a
bundle Of fagots from a poor widow
and left her and her little family to
shiver with cold. He was condemned
and sent to the moon, where he must
always carry the fagots and shiver
with unceasing cold. Some one has
said that he is very sorry he stole the
fagots. The shooting stars are his
tears.
If once you lock away from the
moon the fagot man is likely to slip
around to the other side-at least that
is what the old-time people say-and

Lady. You rub your eyes strange
Won never saw her before, but there

Birds Taught to Euild Nests.


IT is common error to believe
that with birds the knowledge of
building their nests is innate. It is a
trade that is taught to every bird by
its parents and in just as systematic
manner as men are trained to be
builders. Birds are born with the in
stinct to carry little twigs and the ma
terials with which nests are made, but
unless they are instructed in the art OF
building they will just drop them in q
pile and never attempt to weave them
into nests.
1t is after the young birds have
learned to fy that the old ones regu-
larly teach them the process of inter-
weaving and lining that is necessary
to construct nests. This is most COM
pIicated and 4 irabe a.Arr!iarly their
own; it cannot be initiated even by
men. Tc arrange the little twigs so
that they will be symmetrical and
strong enough to hold the weight Of
the mother bird and four CT five little
ones to branch Of a tree. requires
good engineering ability. The lining
OF the nest is usually of a much softer
material than thai of which the out
side is made, and to place this neatly
is also taught by the oder birds.
Huuiming birds will often follow COWS
for days TO pick up their soft hair with
which to line their nests and they
weave it as compactly as piece Of
flannel. Birds that have always been
in cages eau never make nests and are
pitiably clumsy even with cotton, wool
and material that has been given 70
them.
That nest building is taught is also
true OF those that squirrels and mice
build. as we'll as bees. wasps and ants.
The green ant Of Australia is very
clever in the building of its nest. It
appears to consider it an irksorle duty
that can he hired ont. A small spider
is therefore trained 10 do this work
and acts as servant in ali things.
The green ants pay the spiders for
their labors in coin that they enjoy.
1t is by giving them to eat a portion
OF the innumeraole little eggs that
they, the ants, lay. This is most
agreeable arranoem ent for al, man in
cluded, as otherwise the green ants
would rival the rabbits in overrnnning

A Sea-Going Sanatoriuu.

For twenty years floating hospital

once good meal. Bathingis another
