WHY GLASSES ARE NEEDED
They DO the Focusing for the Tired Muscles of the Eye Thus Saw
 Ing That Work.

''Old age doesn't affect the sight ex- actly," said an oculist, Tt affects cer- tain sight muscles. An old man, for instance, can sit down the same as a young man, but he sits down slowly and stiffly, because his sitting-down muscles are no longer supple. Soft Is with an old mans eyes. They see quite as well as a young mans, but the muscles that do the focusing the muscles, that is to say, that alter the degree of convexity of the crystalline lens-are hardened and don't work well. The strain that the managing of these muscles demands of an old man gives him headache. Hence he adopts glasses. which do his focusing for him-one pair focusing for reading, another pair focusing for long distances. Old age glasses don t actual ly improve the sight They only take the place of certain muscles that age has stiffened. They don't even do that, though, unless they are cleaned fre- quently. Glasses should be kept perfect 4 clean sho hould be cleaned when in use. once an hour. with silk handkerchief never with linen one"

WEATHER AND TORPEDO.
Deadly Instrument of War That Do. pends Solely Upon the Change
 of Akmoaphere.

An invention which. If the weather be in It's favor, Is extremely deadly is the dirigible torpedo, controlled by wireless. electricity from ship or shore, says Hverybody's Magazine. It Is merely the ordinary torpedo, loaded with It's big charge of gun cotton and firing pin in the head to explode the torpedo when it strikes. fitted with double rudders, one of horizontal blade to steer up or down, one of vertical to steer right or left;,a storage battery for ordinary use and propulsion, a wireless current transs hitter and motor for dirigible propul- sion, and an elevated tube to discharge a small jet of sea water forced through 1t by an electrical pump. An observer completely sheltered behind earthWorks, could send out such a torpedo from shore, make 1t go miles out to sea, wait for battleship Of the enemy swim around it, dive under 1t. and with cer- tainty ram it's armored bottom with the hring-pin head. One such station could defend the Sandy Hook entrance to New York harbor, if the weather were always good.

TRICK OF LONDON BEooARs
Hire Babes for Twelve, Cents a Day Excite Sympathy by snatching
 Crusts from Cutters.

The records of the Mendicity society of London reveal numherless stories of suffering child life; they abound.- too, in narratives of women beggars in- genuity and degradation. By tar the greatest number of women mendicants are to be found in the ranks of street vendors. The least possible quantity of goods sufdces-a dozen bootlaces, two penny worth of matches. or few sheets of pins. But there is another type of impostor who has not died out--the street singer with the borrowed child. A police officer in the Hast End said the other day that quite as easily as in by gone days children can be hired as draws" for perambulating beggars. The prices charged vary, but baby can be obtained for as little as 12 cents a day. There are other women, again, who use children out of arms to beg, and to compel them, weak and half fam ished, to tramp miles in their quest for charity. The fortune telling role is favored by some women beggars By this means they become popular with domestic servants. and so are able to se- cure good quantity of spoil, Perhaps the most ingenious device of all is the one adopted by Spitalfields alien. who simply stares down In the gutter, and detecting-or pretending to detects crust of bread, puts 1t into her mouth and appears to be eating it ravenously This touching spectacle never tails, If Il is properly worked" to obtain a rich harvest.

BUILD ROADS BY MACHINERY
Labor-saving Device Lays TITO Feet of Track Every Hour-Re-
 quires Few Men.

The west is a country of big thinga aRd railroad building by machinery Is one of them. Even the roadbed on which the track rests is made up by the steam and horse grader, great holes filled up to the track level automatically and the ballast to hold the ties and rails in place distributed In the same man. ner. In fact, such has been the de- velopment of mechanical aids 1t is not an idle boast that with them two dozen men could span the continent with a band of steel. A few statistics may give clearer idea of the Quickness of 1t all To put down 60 feet of track means, of course, to set in position 120 feet Of rails. The average rail is 30 feet in length, so that four rails are required to cover the so feet. The track-laying machine has laid 1,180 such rails in ten hours This means the laying of no less than TITO feet of track every hour, or nearly one-third of mile. Yet to accomplish the feat all the ties must be placed on their beds and the rails not only laid upon them but fas- tened to the wood and made ready for service. The marvel of 1t all Is the amount of manual labor that is sawed l hy the genius of the inventuI Is come the scrapers, doing alIsthe of the hand shovel. yet two men only are needed for each machineo one to guide the horses and the other to ad- just the blade and chute. With the stean shovel arc an engineer and his assistant, for the shovel ills and emp ties it's scoop into. the cars without the touch of hand. Compressed air urloads the cars, but the dirt train usu- ally has half a dozen men aboard tor | energencies,S besides heeengineer and fireman, On the track-laying train two men load all the ties on the tie car and one man moves 1t to and fro. For bolting the rails and hand1irs am on the rollWay six men are enot !. About twice as many arrange the ties on the 'roadbed and fasten the rails. Add the locomotive crew and you have the act ual working force. In putting the fln- ishing touches to the track perhaps 20 men may be needed after the ballast train has passed over 1t.
