The Art of Lens Making.
Test BY Which Perfect Accuracy is Assured lanac ning Mirrors
For The Smithsonian Institution and the Naval Observatory
--SOw Processes by Which a Perfect Magufia

tained from certain mine In Russia.
The reason for employing rock salt
in transmitting the rays Of the sun is
the non-absorption Of heat by that sub
stance, while, on the other hand, its
absorption of moisture rendered its
surface liable to be destroyed by a
change in temperature or contact with
the least dampness. These prisms are
made in a room Of the astrophysical
observatory, the temperature of which
was specially regulated for the pur-
pose by means Of the heating and cool
ing plants which form not the least
extraordinary features Of that remark
able establishment wherein the hidden
secrets Of the luminary are sought TO
be revealed. The caution required In
sealing these prisms without injuring
their surfaces in handling was some
thing very great indeed, and it was
only by the most persistent and pains
taking practice tina. this was satisfac-
torily accomplished. Nevertheless, so
accurate are these prisms to-day, and

Mr.. Kahler explained that getting a
good piece Of glass for the making of
large mirrors and lenses is not the
least difficult step in turning out sat
isfactory work. Glass used for this
purpose is imported principally from
Germany and Bohemia. 1t must be Of
equal density throughout, and great
difficulties attend its manufacture; for
instance, it must be allowed to cool
very gradually, for months, in fact, af-
ter being taken out Of the furnace.
1t is a striking fact that in Mr.. Kah-
ler's line of work the crudest appll-
ances are used. Very ingenious ma
chinery is employed for turning out
the cheaper class Of lenses and mir
rors by the hundreds at time; yet
the fine surfaces can only be produced
by the most tedious hand work.
