ITO these last a visit to a picture

the two former have the compensation
of seeing their own two colors much
more brightly than ordinary people.
1.-The color blind do extraordinary
things at times. An officer of the navy
went one day to buy material for a
coat vest and trousers. He bought
blue coat and red trousers, believing
them of the same color. a British adj
miral painted a landscape and was
very proud of bis performance, but he
made the tree red, thinking it the same
color as green. When he purchased
pair of trousers he chose green ones,
suspecting them to be brown.
"An architects pupil, being directed
to copy the picture of brown house,
made the house green, the sky scarlet
and the roses blue.
"a postoffice clerk was always short
in his accounts because he could not
distinguish the different coiored
stamps, and a sedate Quaker has been
known to buy green coat for himself
and a red gown for his wife, thinking
they were both brown.

"Just why the eyes of women are
less defective in the matter of distin-
gushing colors than those of men is
one of the things in nature that are
unexplained. The construction is the
same, yet woman's superiority in
matching colors has always been rec
ognized even where man has had the
advantage of long experience. Gin.

SPECTACLE LORE.

Medical Profession Once Considered
| Science of Optics Beneath Ito
In a paper recently read before the
Academy Of ST. Louis, DR.. @. Barck
gives some information regarding spec
tacles which will not be without in
terest. 1t is impossible to decide II
the Chinese invented glasses before
Europeans. But we do know that the
ancient people Of Ninevah were ac-
| quainted with their use, for Sir Henry
| Layard discovered convex lens Of
rock crystal in the course of his re-
searches. The Egyptians and Greeks
do not appear to have used spectacles.
We always used to think that Nero
was shortsighted and used glasses,
says the Westminster Gazette, but DR..
Barck questions the translation usual
ly given of the passage in Plny upon
which the belief was based. He there
fore holds that to the Romans glasses
were unknown.
There is no mention Of glasses dur
ing the first 200 years A. D. 1t was
at the end of the thirteenth century
that spectacles were invented by two
Italians, Armati and Spina, either to-
gether or independently. But the En-
clycoped Britannica tells us that the
inventor was probably Rober Bacon"
The same authority informs us that
convex glasses were followed shortly
afterward by concave," whereas DR..
Barck shows that it was two centuries
before concave glasses made their ap-
pearance. Cylindrical lenses for the
correction Of astigmatism were invent
ed by Airy the astronomer royal, in
1927. He took personal interest in
the matter, for he suffered from astig-
matism himself Bifocals were invent
ed and first used by Benjamin Frank
lin.
For a long time the selection Of the
lenses for individual cases was left
to the travelling peddler or the shop

only within the last fifty or sixty years
that change has come in this respert
Doctors are now all agog because they
consider that the optic1an is straying
beyond his province. But in the first
place the change was due to the Ia

was owing to their efforts that for the
