THE MAKING OF LENSES.
Glass Is Made Principally in Euro
pean Countries and Shipped
in Small Slabs.

When a popular camera was
first under consideration, it be-
came necessary to secure a good
lens at a popular price. This was
possible only by the devising and
making of special machinery and
tools, and by buying the raw glass
and manufacturing in large guam
titles, writes w. b. Ashley, in Out
ing. Lens glass, as all the world
knows, or will after this story is
published, is made principally in
Germany, France and England.
Brought to the manufacturer in
small slabs, it is cut by revolving
saws into the different sizes and
then subjected to a series of grind
ings and pOlishings that must
eventually enable the tester to fit
the lens over an absolute form Of
the shape and size required, so per-
fectly that a deviation Of one two
millionth of an inch is instantly
detected. The cement used for
building up lenses from single
lenses is preparation so delicate
that it cannot alter this perfection.
The making of lenses for photo
graphic work has now become an
immense industry, and in many
cases the shutters are also made
in conjunction. Highest skill is
employed to perfect this first re-
quisite of the apparatus, but care
full as these makers are to prove
their work, the lenses are also al.
ways thoroughly tested by the
camera experts. This does not
mean that they are subjected to
anything like the different tests
the amateur will apply later on,
but finish, focus and mount, and
the focal scale is tested by objects
at the stated distances; the finder
is brought into alignment, and
then the camera needs only the
final touching up of rubbed spots
to be ready for the market.

OLD EGYPTIAN SHORTHAND.
Principle of Modern Stenography Was

'StenOgraphy was practieed al

his slaves to acquire the art. The
fee was 100 drachmae, 40 to be
paid on apprenticeship, 40 at the
end of the year, and the balance
when the slave was proficient.

Bees in Warfare.

There are at least two recorded
instances in which bees have been
used as weapons of defense in war.
When the Roman Gen. Lucullus
was warning against Mithridates,
he sent a force against the city of
Themiseyra. AS they besieged the
walls, the inhabitants threw down
on them myriads of swarms of
bees. These at once began an at
tack, which resulted in the raising
of the siege. These doughty little
insects were also once used with
equal success in England. Ches-
