CONTROL OF ENERGY.
Il IL Possible For the Human Race
10 Avert IHtInctInnf

The only conceivable way In which
the human intelligence can ever sue
ceed In avertng the procession Of the
great year" is not BY postponing the
issue, but by reversing the process.
The question Is this While energy ID
being dissipated In accordance with
the natural law, can We 50 manipulate
things as to accumulate energy, max
Ing the unavailable available uotwith-
standing the fact thai cosmlc processes
seem to be essentially irreverslblel
Now there Is assure1ly no inherent
reason why We should not accomplish
this. 1t Is true that hitherto all the
atomic evolution that has been OBJ
served Is atomic dislntegration We
may speak now, indeed, Of the analysis
of the elements But so 1t was. we
may remember. that the older chem
lstry began, and yet analytic chemis-
try was the precursor Of synthetic
chemistry We began by breaking up
compounds. but now We can make
them-can indeed make compounds
hitherto unknown In nature Similar
~, 1t Is more than probable that we
shall ere long learn to achieve the
synthess of the clements as well as
their analysis 70 energy is ever lost.
Even when the radium atom, Itself the
child of the uranium atom, breaks
down and dissipates its energy, ending,
1t is supposed. as the dull atom of lead,
the original energies are not destroyed.
Why should they not be gathered up
again and titus again become avail
able? Are matter and energy to go on
their way, ultimately destroying the
human race For myself, | incline to
the view that victory Will rest at last
with "man's uneonquerable mind. -

THE FIRST SPECTACLES.
They Were Made In Italy In the
Thirteenth Century.

They Were Made In Italy In the
Thirteenth Century.
Spectacles were invented late in the
thirteenth century. The use of glass
to aid the sight of defective eyes Is,
however, much older Nero looked
through Il concave glass in watching
the gladiatorial games, and many other
historical men of his day were depend
ent on similar devices for lengthening
their sight
Till the latter part of the thirteenth
century only the single glass was in
use In 1890 the double glass was in
vented, and in the fourteenth century
spectacles We're used quite frequently
by the very wealthy and high born, al
though they were still so scarce that
they were bequeathed In will with all
the elaborate care that marked the dis
position of feudal estate. The first
spectacles were made in Italy
Somewhat later the manufacture of
cheaper glasses sprang up in Holland,
and it spread late In the fourteenth
century to Germany, Nuremberg and
Rathenow acquired fame for their
glasses between 400 and 1900.
For many years glasses were used
only as a means Of aiding bad eyes, I'M
til the fashion of wearing merely for
the sake of wearing them sprang up in
Spain. 1t spread rapidly to the rest of
the continent and brought about the
transformation Of the old thirteenth
century spectacles into eyeglasses aud
eventually into The monocle

LIZARDS OF BARBADOS.
They Can Change Color and DroI
Their Tails at VIII.

They Can Change Color and Drop
Their Tails at VIII.
The green lizards which swarm on
every tree certainly have the hardest
life Of any creatures in Barbados, since
their flesh Is SO delicate that every
thing eats them which can catch them.
Cats, fowls, birds, monkeys and snakes
all devour the poor lizards, which have
only two methods of defending them
selves, both very inadequate for the
purpose one Is their power Of chang
ing their color, whereby they can ap-
pear bright green at one moment on
the leaf of au aloe and then dark choc-
olate brown on piece of damp earth.
If this does not conceal them from
their enemy they drop their tails. The
caudal appendage jumps from the
ground and makes Il frantic dance all
by itself, and If the pursuer is delud-
ed into Selling it the lizard avails it
self of the chance to escape and grow
another tail
For the rest the poor lizards are
harmless things, with pathetic eyes, in
which turks an expression of weari-
ness and dis.llusion, as though they
were as old as the world itself and had
found ii all vanity and vexation Of
spirit. They are fond Of plaintlve mu-
sic and win enter at the open windows
when Il piano is playing and sit listen
Ing and nodding their queer fiat heads
and looking out of those wistful eyes
at the player till he or she, if of an I'm
aginative temperament, might fancy
she were playing TO an audience of
transmigrated souls Chambers Jour

An equally homely gift was made to

The Italian singer, Signor Mario, in
