The Earliest Lens,

The earliest known lens is one made
of rock crystal unearthed by Layard at
Nineveh. This lens, the age of which
is to be measured by thousands Of
years, now lies in the British museum
with its surface as bright as when It
left the makers hands. By the side Of
it are very recent specimens of lens
which have been ruined by exposure
to London's fogs and smoke.

FIRES CAUSED BY NAILS.
Particularly Guarded Against by
Firms That Handle Cotton.

Particularly Guarded Against by
Firms That Handle Cotton.
Speaking of insurance matters"
said a listener, 81 suppose the plain,
old fashioned nail has caused more
hres IN the big establishments where
machinery is used in many and COM
plicated ways than any other little
thing in existence. The only thing
needed is for it to come in contact with
some other hard material with suffi-
cient force to cause a spark and heat
generation. Nails have really produced
a heavy per cent of the cotton fires of
the country. During recent years, on
account of steps taken by the owners
and conductors of the larger cotton and
byproduct plants at the instance of in
surance men, the nail has not been
such prolific producer of fires.
"A way has been found, for instance,
in cotton gins, cotton mills and in
plants where cottonseed are put
through manufacturing processes, of
extracting nails and other weighty and
hinty substances that may find lodg-
ment in these inflammable products.
Gravity is the natural force used. Nails
and rocks and materials of this kind
are heavier than cotton and its by
products, and they have a tendency to
force their way to the bottom Of the
heap. By allowing these products to
pass over a rolling belt arrangement
these heavier materials filter toward
the bottom and are finally extracted,
SO that when the cotton or the cotton
seed passes through the grind in the
various manufacturing processes there
Is but little danger from fire so far as
these things are concerned."-New Or
leans Times Democrat
