GLASSES FOR THE EYES.
The Reason They Are Worn by So
Many Persons Nowadays.

The question IS often asked, parucu
larly by those who can recall the GUS
toms and experiences of % years ago,
"Why do so many persons nowadays
wear glasses?" The answer is easy.
'The increase in the number OF spec
tacles worn is not to be regarded as
an evidence Of modern degeneration
of the eyes, but rather that long felt
necessity has been met" For it should
be remembered that within the past
quarter of a century much has been
learned about the value Of glasses, and
the range Of their application and use
fulness has been enormously extended.
OF course the eyes need more help now
than formerly, as the amount OF work
they are required to do is much greater
than at any previous period in the
worlds history. The sewing machine
and many other inventions of its class
save the labor of the hands only to
add to that required of the eyes.
New employments, new amusements
and new fashions are continually be-
ing introduced to increase the eXac"
tons laid upon these sensitive ana
delicate organs. The steady decrease
of illiteracy, together with the general
cheapness of literature and spread
of a taste for it, the enormous circula-
ton of novel, magazine and neWspa-
per, the ever increasing use of artificial
| illumination, all combine to oyertax
the eyes and to weaken or possibly de-
stroy the sight unless the required ala
and protection be supplied through
every means at our disposal

SHELVED HIS INVENTION.
An Experience Which TAUGHT the Mechan;-
cal Expert Lesson.

Une or the best mechanical engineers
in New Orleans told an interesting
story apropos of the tribulations of in
ventors. about three years ago." be
said, Il got up little device that
greatly simplified the working of a
certain type Of pump. took out
patents that cost me in the neighbour
hood of $500, including attorneys fees,
and finally submitted the thing to a
big manufacturing concern In the
north. The proprietOrs at once con-
coded the merit Of the invention and
offered me $500 down and a royalty Of
1925 on each one used. The cash pay
ment amounted to nothing, for 1t really
fell short of covering my time and ex-
penses, but the royalty was generous,
and | figured it out that 1t would yield
me an income Of $4,000 or $4,000 for
several years-perhaps longer, it de-
pended on how soon something better
entered the field.
Accordingly, l accepted the PROPOSE
ton and transferred all my right. Now,
how much do you think | actually re-
ceived? Not a penny! No, l haven't
been cheated; at least, all the accounts
have been perfectly straight. The
trouble is they never put the device on
the market They simply stuck the
patents and drawings in q pigeonhole
and there they remain to this day.
''Why did they do it, did you ask? To
save money. The public is very well
suited with their pump as 1t stands,
and it Is doubtful II they could get any
more for it with my improvement add
ed. Such a step would merely cut down
the net profit, so they prefer to let well
enough alone. 1t was necessary, OF
course, to get my invention safely
shelved, or 1t might have been taken
I'D by some enterprising rival, and the
only earthly reason for spending $500
on the thing was to put it out OF the
way. 1t was rather rough on me, TO
be sure, but the experience was valu'
able, and I won't get caught that way
again" New Orleans Times-Demo'
