How the Glasses Are Ground. Polish
ed and Finished

In the manufacture of spectacle
lenses the bit of glass to be formed
into a lens is fastened by means of
pitch to Il small block Of hard rubber.
SO that it may be held. 1t is ground
by being pressed against rapidly re-
volving cast iron disk on g vertical
spindle and with curvature equal and
opposite to that desired in the lens.
This is the trough tool and is kept
moistened with emery and water. Sew
eral grades Of emery are used in sue
cession, changing from coarse to fine
as the grinding proceeds.
The glass is then transferred to the
fine tool made Of brass, and COM
pared from time TO time to a standard
curve in order TO insure accuracy. In
this second grinding the abrading ma
terial is rough.
Finally. the lens is polished by being
pressed against piece Of cloth DOW
dered with rouge and fastened to the
rotating tool. The, glass is now loos-
ened from its block, turned over and
the reverse side of the lens ground.
When this has been accomplished the
lens is placed on a leather cushion and
held firmly in position by a rubber
tipped arm while diamond glass cut
ter passing round an oval guide traces
similar oval on the glass below. The
superfuous glass is removed by steel
pinchers and the rough edges are
ground smooth on Scotch wheels. -

half holiday on Saturday during the
summer, while naturally drawing full
pay, it is now ruled that he is to be

government seems to have put its
foot into trouble again. Indeed, the
fact = often adduced against federal

eminent is less successful bargainer

ample illustration here in Washington.
The national government supplies half
of the business of the city, and in many
classes of supplies it buys far more
than all the city population combined.
1t is frequently pointed out, in explain

known fact that Washington dealers
maintain double scale of prices-one
for individual customers and another
at a considerably higher level where
Uncle Sam foots his bills. The only
thing, apparently, which the government

1t is well understood that those who
work for the government receive less
than they could earn from private en-

To those who find their hobby in the
collection of odd examples of inventive
genious, the cleaning out of the Patent
Office next week will afford another
chance for acquiring further specimens.
Guardian Griggs, who for years has
watched over the accommodating models,
in which can be traced the advance CT
any line of inventive progress, it is
said, for Uncle Sam, having little senti-
ment for room occupying relics, has
given out that all models, except those
few reserved by committee appointed
for that purpose. must be disposed of
by sale, gift or otherwise. Many are
the curiosities new and old which will
be raked up and passed on, while Mr..
Griggs stands by with more than father
ly care and solicitude There are 49,
600 models on hand at present, all ar
ranged in chronological, or logical
order, and altogether they form one of
the most interesting exhibits in the
world. The first sewing machine-a
queer looking. contraption invented in
1851, is there, as are models of the
first locomotive, the first cotton gin,
and things too numerous to mention.

the inventions of women, one of the
most curious being a hustle made like

thrOpe, says women have worn worse
than that. There is also pocket sew
ing machine invented by a woman to
be used when conversation tagged 1t
never tagged, so the machine had no
sale. Of course the most cherished
models will be retained, but among
those which will go there will be many

Our Washington
Letter.
BY EARL w. MAYO.
BY EARL w. MAYO.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-One of the
strangest features of the last session
of Congress was the troubled slumber
of the ship subsidy bill, which, as the
more modern example of Private John
ALIENS perennial bill for a public
building at Tupelo, Miss, has been
regularly introduced, disturbed and de-
bated, and finally shelved for 10, these
many years. The question of subsi-
died merchant marine is vexed one,
which has not been classified by the
statistics of vessel construction just
issued by the Department of Commerce
and Labor. From these it seems that
the tonnage of rugged vessels con-
structed during the past year was near
ly $50, 000-a total equal to nearly two
dozen of the largest battleships in the
world. The surprising part of it all is
that practically the whole of this
amount was covered by construction
on the Great Lakes, which while it does
not affect the ship subsidy situation,
does show in a startling manner the de-
mand which the country is making for
chance to take advantage of cheap
water transportation. In Germany, for
example, the canals and rivers carry a
great part of the freight, and while
this country is admirably equipped in
the rough of Nature for water trans
portation, it is only of late that the
question has been brought up in its
true light by the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress-an organization
which is striving to show the futility of
paying rail rates when a demand for
the improvement of our waterways
through increased Federal appropria-
lions would enable the shipper to move
his goods at One-sixth of the present
rates. With a six-foot channel in the
Mississippi, says representative
Haugen of Iowa, wheat can be shipped
the whole length of the river for two
cents a hundredweight. Facts like
these indicate that the future cry for
federal appropriations in connection
with water transportation is to be not
for subsidized fleets but for inland i'm
prOvements.

There is grief in the hearts of the
Washington postmen, for it looks as if
there was to be no diminution of their
labors during the summer. While Con-
gress is in session the city reaches the
apex of it activities with as many as
four mail deliveries each day. 1t has
been the custom in the past, however,
after Congress has adjourned and left
Washington to somnolence and heat. to
reduce the deliveries to three, thus
giving each postman a daily vacation
of two hours. But this year it looks
as if they would have to continue their
arduOus and heroic labor undated and
without the refreshing and welcome
daily siesta, for the law says that car
riers must work eight hours a day. AS
the omission of deliveries would shorten
this time, it is pointed out that such a
step would be illegal. Therefore, the
semblance of activity is likely to con-
tinue in Washington through the sum-
mer.

An odd effect produced on the sale of
stamps by the season of the year has
been brought to light at the postoffice.
1t has been discovered that during the
summer months the sale of one cent
stamps is increased enormously, and
at last the reason has been found. 1t
seems that the increased sales of the
one cent stamps are due to the fond
ness which women and children, absent
on vacation in the mountains or at
the seashore, have for sending home
souvenir postal cards, which require
only one cent postage. The odd part
Of the whole thing is that such souve-
mir cards can be bought in any of the
large cities more cheaply than at sum-
mer resorts. MAYO.
