The First Spectacles,

Most authorities put the invention of
spectacles to the credit of Alexander
de Spina. monk Of Pisa, in 1885, but
DR.. Plot will have it that they were
invented five years earlier by Roger
Bacon. The quotation from Bacon's
"Opus Majus' runs thus: "This instru-
ment, plano convex glass. is useful to
old men and to those who have weak
eyes, for they may see the smallest let
tiers sufficiently magnified"
This certainly does not claim the in
vention for Bacon. On the other hand.
In sermon published in 1905 by Friar
Jordan de Rivalto he says, mot twenty
years since the art of making specta-
Giles was found out" thus placing it in
1885, Spina's agreed on date and seven
years before Bacon's death.
Marini attributes them to Salvino,
who died in 1917, and points to the in
scription on his tomb at Florence
Here lies Salvino degli Armati, in
ventor of spectacles. May God pardon
his sins" Possibly the cumbersome
horn or tortoise shell frames Of those
days, which gained for them the name
OF goggles" dictated the last sentence.

sea lion also has a ready sale in all the
European geological gardens owing TO
its size and attractive appearance. cap
tain Mullett has gone to Santa Barba-
ra, where he will take gasoline
schooner and embark on Il hunting
cruise around the Santa Barbara is
lands. He expects to capture thirty or
forty of the seals with little difficulty.
In discussing his sea lion trade Cap
tain Mullett said that he captured thir-
" of the animals last spring on the is
land of Santa Cruz. They were caught
while they were on land by the aid of
lassos and nets. The seals make deS-
perate fight for their liberty, but after
being placed in crates they become
comparatively docile in two or three
days.
When a sufficient number have been
captured they are taken TO the east in
a special car in charge Of an attend
ant, who feeds them on fish and gives
them an occasional bath. In New York
they are fattened. and f they are TO be
shipped to Europe they are given sew
eral weeks rest The percentage OF
those dying is small. In fact, Captain
Mullett says they thrive and grow
much larger in captivity than when
they are in their wild natural state.
The management of the geological
gardens at Antwerp purchased ten Cal
ifornia sea lions last spring These are
all doing well and proved such an at
traction that number of other Euro
pean cities have placed orders for them.

nlnm 20 Rosus Insnrance.

Among the new hills pending In con
tress is one introduced by Senator
Dryden of New J.rS.n which Is ahmed
nj the disfepuIahle concerns Ia the IN
surance business. Il WAS presented
nj the request ~ the reputable insur-
anrr companies Of the country aud has
their strong support.
The object Of senator Dryden's bill
is 10 widen the scope Of The existing
federal statute prohibiting the use OF
the malls for the transmission of bot
terry matter so as TO make it applica-
BILE TO letters. postal cards circulars,
pamphlets and other publications con
corning any business contracts or pol
icies or life. fire or other insurance
transmitted into any state, district or
territory by concerns or persons not
authorized to transact such business
In the state from which they are trans
mltted.
The insurance companies which are
looking for this legislation say that the
public loses more through the ire
sponsible concerns. of which there are
SO many. than through any other form
of fraud. While this may be an exag-
geration, it is unquestionably true that
people pay out large sums for insur-
ance of one kind and another which Is
absolutely worthless. 1t may be said
that they ought TO be more careful and
investigate the standing of company
before they pay it a premium, but
people are not always as wise as they
ought to be, and it is necessary &c
have laws to protect them against Sc
ductve forms of fraud. 1t can hardly
be expected that the legislation sug
gested. If enacted, will put an entire
stop to the bogus insurance business
1t will doubtless be carried on to some
extent as long as there are men wht
cannot tell bad from good inSur
ance company and as long as there are
knaves to take advantage of their il
norance, but it would no doubt great!
lessen this very common method o
extracting money from the pockets o
overcredulous and unsuspecting PEG
pie.

They took the field like an army corps

But each man knew the danger that lies
in wait for a man who closes his eyes
When he shoots. so they kept theirs
open wide and marched with Joy to

And then at last
AS the morning passed,
A quail rose up and whirred away.
Each gun went up, and the guide dropped
down; the dogs stood still In their
tracks;
The triggers were pulled, and the guns

The poor little quail turned a somersault;

And they gathered around to jollify at
their glorious gunshot score,
Though none could tell
Whose shotted shell
Had spilled the little fowls gore!
And that was the only bird they saw; but,
nevertheless, today

They shot neither guide nor friend nor

TO HARDEN ARCTIC SEED.
Plan of Swedish Authority to Grow
Grains Able to Resist Frost.


In view of the scarcity of seed grain
Injured to the arctic climate of the norr-
land and of the fact that Canadian and
other foreign grains sown in the vicin
ity of Stockholm, Sweden, have not
produced seed, Paul Hellstrom, chief
of the government biological institution
at Lulea, has projected method of
hardening oats, barley and other plants
to frost says the Chicago News. His
plan is to grow the plants in green
house, where the temperature can be
regulated by means of a refrigeratin
machine. The lowest temperature the
plants will stand without being frost
bitten will first be ascertained. The
temperature will then be lowered
slightly below this point and the hardy
plants that survive left to mature seed
for next year.
Seed obtained in this manner will be
sown and subjected to temperature
slightly lower than that which the
parent plants survived. The seed pro-
duced by the survivors of the second
years freezing will be subjected to the
same treatment, and so on for FIVE or
six years, when, it is supposed. plants
grown from these seeds will be able
to withstand the night frosts which so
frequently destroy the crops in the
norrland. The government has decid-
ed to bear the expense Of the expert
ments, which, if they succeed, may
avert recurrence of famine in the
northern province.

The Chicago Tribune, which has a
penchant for statistics, figures out that
October fire losses for the United
States and Canada were $10,409, 800,
as compared with $9,593,300 in 1902
and $14,749,9OO in 1901. OF the months
totals $S,565, 766 Is to be credited to
the United States. AS compared with
this total the showing for November
Is not encouraging, for the total losses
for the first seventeen days are $7,S04,-
861. To this amount two fires alone,
at Coney Island and Troy, n. Y, con-
tributed $2,5OO,OOO. The total fire
losses for 1908 to date are about $780,
100000, as compared with about $780,
100000 for all of last year. 1t is likely
that the losses this year will consid-
erably exceed those of last year and
nearly approximate those of 1901.

Great Lake. Fool supply.

II il GRATIFYING TO note that In one
tppor,ant matter. which affects both
this country and the Dominion our "a
nadian neighbors are willing 10 Co
operate with us. and that is the preser-
walton Of the dsh supply Of the great
lakes. The Toronto Globe asserts that
the province Of ontario Is ready 10
establish and enforce such regulations
as will restore the food capacity Oh
the lakes. which has been seriously d.
nlinished by indiscriminate netting as
well as by poaching. To such an eA-
tent has this been carried on, ana SO
frequent were the complaints OF the
Canadian fishermen, who were oollged
TO observe close season, while the
Americans were fishing all the time,
that the provincial authorities at one
time contemplated giving up all efforts
TO preserve the fish and let the work
of grill divers and destruction go on
1t was argued that If Americans wouiu
not assist the supply would soon DE
depleted and the Canadians might as
well catch all the fish they could WINE
there were any left.
1t is creditabe TO the Canadians that
they did not adopt such a policy put
instead sought TO induce the lake states
to join them in adopting and enforc-
ing sich measures as will keep up the
suppIy. All the states bordering on
the lakes except New York have ex-
pressed their willingness to cooperate
with the Canadians. AS the New YORK
commission will shortly meet, 1t VIII
undoubtedly join its neighbors In bring
ing about this most important result.
| Under proper regulations the great
lakes are capable of producing an
abundant supply of food fish. The
lakes should. however, be restocked.
and stop should be put to indiscrim-
| mate netting. Otherwise there Is likely
TO be marked scarcity in the supply
as well as a corresponding increase III

/ pie and common diet, and there is no
reason why it should not be even more

this source of food supply there should
be the heartiest cooperation on both
! sides of the line.

Growth of the Telephone.

The Electric Review calls attention
to the fact that hardly day passes
in which several telephone companies
are not Incorporated in the smaller
cities and towns throughout the coun-
try. Particularly is this true among
the farmers of the middle west who
are finding the telephone very useful
in conducting their household affairs.
and in marketing their crops. For
merly the farmer stored his grain in
elevators, waiting for an advantageous
time to SELL Now he stores 1t himself,
says the Electrical Review, receives the
market quotations over the telephone
and disposes of his grain by telephone
whenever in his judgment he can do so
to the best advantage. He does this
without loss of time and has the salts
faction of closing bargain at once at
current prices.
According to statistics compiled by
the Bell Telephone company, there
were in 1902 2.525.60 telephones in the
hands of licensees under rental in the
United States. There was total Of
1,020,647 stations, and the number of
exchange connections daily was 1884,
7G1, or a total per year of over 2,425,-
100000. The entire capital invested in
telephone systems in this country was
estimated at $35O,OOo,OOO. Doubtless
the figures for the current year will
show still greater increase in number
of stations installed and number Of in
struments under rental.

The Flesh ni the Goat.

The latest cIrculaf ~ the bureau Of
uimal industry Of the agricultural de-
tartmeut gives Sit Of information
which viii not be- altogether pleasant
10 persons Of delicate sensibIlities.
4 few months ago information about
lie goat skin industry. its proportions
aud its possibilities, Was spread broad
.zist over the country. The result was
an awakened interest In this particular
domestic animal. and the demand for
information has been so great that the
department Of agriculture has put
forth this new circular relating TO the
common goat as distinguished from the
Angora. The distribution Of the crea-
ture in question is made the subject OF
an Illuminating table, which shows
that the goat industry is very much
larger than is generally supposed. In
Texas alone there are 62I 1888 OF these
animals and in New Mexico 224.l36.
/ Coats are raised almost entirely for
their skins, for which there is large
/ and growing demand. Naturally the
question arises. What becomes OF the
rest of the kid or goat after his hide Is
taken off and made into gloves or
/ shoes? The answer Is that Ii be-
comes by the butchers legerdemain
/ lamb" and mutton"
Among the great mass Of the people
of this country there is prejudice
against the flesh of the goat for food. In
spite of the many epicures, from Rob
inson Crusoe down, who have testified
TO its delicacy.
Butchers who have sold the trans
muted lamb" over their blocks never
hear a complaint Of 1t because their
customers do not know the difference.
The flesh of a grownup goat, how
ever, is at best only as good as poor
mutton. "A considerable number OF
mature common goats are purchased
by the packing houses Of the larger
cities" says the agricultural depart
ment's circular on this point. "rhey
are purchased as goats and sold, either
in the carcass or canned, as mutton
and many who decry goat meat have
unconsciously eaten it many times, ne
doubt"
