1.-The German government does not yet
see any cause to impute bad faith to the
Chinese government and to saddle the
responsibility upon Pekin for the partici-
patton of Chinese troops in the Boxers
excesses. At least all reliable news re-
celved here thus far leaves the question
of responsibility still open. This view is
shared by the other powers. F,r the same

NOTE AeOUT RIFocALS.

There are three kinds of bifocals,
or double lenses. The split bifo-
Gals is the oil style, split straight
across the center. The objection is
the dividing line which is always Wis
ible to the eye. The perfection BIZ
focal is made of two pieces the lower
part is the shape of a crescent and In
serted into the upper part. The objec
tion to these is the difference in
thickness of the two paris which
makes the change from one to the
other too abrupt and therefore confu-
sing. The cement bifocal overcomes
these difficulties. The lower part is
extremely thin, and is oemented upon
the distance glass. There Is no strain,
no confusion. The dividing line is
scarcely psrceptible. They are always
in place and they feel natural and
easy.
