EarIy Artificial Eyes.
From Chambers Journal.

from CHAMBERS journal.
The earliest known mention of mod
ern artificial eyes--that is, eyes worn
inside the orbit--occurs in an exceed
ingly rare illustrated work on surgery,
written by a French surgeon named
Ambrose Pare, and published in Paris
in 1861. Pare invented three artificial
eyes. The first was a wonderful con-
trivance. 1t consisted of a thin metal
srring-band which passed half way
around the wearer's head, having on
one end q small oval plate which COW
cred the orbit of the eye, and the 9TH
er end pressed against the back of the
head. The oval plate was covered with
smooth, soft leather on which an eye
was painted 1t would, perhaps, be diff
ficult to devise anything more inelegant
or uncomfortable. The second device
was a hollow globe of gold, eye shaped,
and enameled, which was worn inside
the socket-the first recorded artificial
eye thus worn. The third contrivance
was simply shell pattern" eye, ex-
actly similar in shape to those now
used, but made or gold and enameled.
Except that they were made of gold
and enameled, the two latter were
practically of the same design as the
globe and SHELF glass eyes of the
present day. Pare's clumsy, trusslike
appliance and his two gold eyes, which
We're used only by the wealthy, were
succeeded by eyes made of painted
porcelain and colored pearl-white.
which Immediately became immensely
popular. Next came the invention of
glass eyes, which instantly superseded
all others. and still command the pub

Glass eyes, which were invented in
1870. were we'll known in Shakespeares
time. In king Lea.," (Act w., Scene
