A NEW KIND OF LENS.
Its Use Promises a cheapenine of
 Astronomic Work.

A Hungarian chemist is reported to
 have succeeded in producing optical
 lenses by a simple and cheap process
 quite as good and servfceable as The
 pest massive glass lenses used at pres
 ent. They can be manufactured of a
 size three times as big as the largest
 homogeneous glass lens heretofore
 made.
 The importance of this invention in
 the field of astronomy is obvious. The
 largest glass lens heretofore unanu-
 taetured out of massive glass for as
 tTonomical purposes has a diameter Of about 4.92 feet and required several years to make. its price reaching more than SlOO,OOO. Such a lens can be man uIactured by the new process. ft Is said in few weeks, at a cost of .0g0
 or 5000 marks.
 The price of glass lens of the best German manufacture with a diameter 1 Of s-S4 inches is now about 1000 marks while the price of a similar lens made by the new process is about I5O marks Lenses of smaller diameter for pho 1 tographic purposes. opera glasses. reading glasses, etc. can be produced at correspondingly smaller cost. The new lens consists of a auid sub- stance inclOsed between two unusu ally hard glass surfaces. similar to watch crystals in whicls the refractIvs power and other characteristic prop critics are so chosen that the glass sur faces not only serve to hold the fluid. but also combine with the fluid to over come such defects as are scarcely to be avoided in the ordinary lens It Is for this reason also that the lens Is achromat;c
 The fluid contained in the lens is dramatically closed so that no air can enter and exercise a damaging effect The fluid does not evaporate and its i composition is such that it's properties are not effected b.- time or by tenn perature. The cOefficient Of expansion | both of the glass and of the fluid is | approximately the same between the i temperatures of 15 degrees Of cold and i 60 degrees of heat. Another advantaEe | claimed for the new lens is that on | account of the fact that the fluid Is not i dense and the glass crystals are thin i the whole lens combination through
 which the light must penetrate is very i slight These fluid lenses are already being manufactured in Austria--From | the Springfield Republican.

FEED UP" Is the Way to Make Old Men Young.

One of the most remarkable evil dences of the power of proper food is found in the following interesting story by a Canadian:
 "I am now T years Of age and have been ailing more or less ever since I was 16 years old. part of the time an invalid suffering with stomach and bowel troubles.
 About two years ago. having learned of the good Grape Nuts food was doing for some friends of ours. I resolved to try it myself and I imme- diately found help-mOre vigor and power of endurance.
 That summer the heat did not af- feet me as it did before I used Grape Nuts and after about four months con stant use I began to realize what it was to be well and found my bowels adjusting themselves so that now ] am free from the old troubles. had long despaired of such results and can safely say am enjoying better health today than for many years past. for this wonderful food has literally made new man of me" Name given by Postum Go.

NEW SHOW CASES.

The firm of Geach & Geach yes terday received from Quincy, Ills, a twelve foot floor show case for millin- cry purposes. The case is a beauty and is the best that money could buy. The firm has been figuring on new eases since moving here and had an order placed with a San Francisco firm when the earthquake and fire destroyed the factory, necessitating the placing of the order elsewhere and consequent delay. Another notion case has been ordered but as it had to be made to order, will be some two weeks later in arriving.

BEET HARVEST BEGINS.

Every Available Team Will Be in Use
 for Some Weeks.
 There will be work on the south side beginning Saturday or the first of the week for every available team here as well as drivers. Colonel Price, south side representative of the Eastern Sugar company, announces that the sugar factory will be ready next week for business and as it is desired that good amount of beets be on hand be- fore the factory is started. an order has been issued by the company call ing for first 5000 tons and then. later it was added that all the beets that can be shipped will be taken. The work here will probably commence on a small scale the latter part of this week, but will be on in earnest from the first of next week until the crop is gathered. From all appearances it will be large one and beet growers for some days past have been devoting their spare t.me to the building of suitable wagons for the hauling of the product Thanks to the railroads. sev- eraI switches have been built in good location which will save the growers considerable time and expense. Beets will be loaded here at the Sachs ranch or the Tempe pumping plant siding, at Mesa. at Petersen and at the new switch, Helena, south of Petersen. The hauling VII be done by the individual ! growers in most cases but several parties here are arranging to rig up six horse teams and make a business l of it during the season at so much per 1 ton. As yet there is no means of ap- ! proximating the size or value of the crop but it bids fair to be a large one ] in every instance.
