DENOUNCED BOON TO MANKIND
Seventeenth Century Wlseacres Saw
No Good In Speetaeles.

A certain English vicar made him.

In the seventeenth century, he in
Weighed against the use of the newly
invented optic glasses, since they per-
verified Vision and made all things ap-
pear in an unnatural and therefore a
false light. Microscopes and tele-
scopes, with their array of lenses, he
declared to be impostors, since a man
could not see so well with two pairs
of spectacles as with one. Some as
serted 1t to be sinful to assist the eyes,
which were adapted by Providence
to the capacity of the individual,
whether good. bad or Indifferent. 1t
was argued that society at large would
become demoralized by the use of
spectacles; they would give one man
an unfair advantage over his fellow,
and every man an unfair advantage
over every woman, who could not be
expected on aesthetic and intellectual
grounds to adopt the practice.

tried another tack.

SEA FISH IN FRESH WATER.
Experiment Tried in Germany Proves
Marked Success.


An interesting experiment that may
have farreaching results has just been
brought to successful termination in
Germany. 1t has been proved beyond
question that deep sea fish can be &C
climated and will live and breed in
fresh water.
A number of different kinds of fish
were taken from the sea, including
whiting, herring, sole and founders,
and placed in pool of salt water. The
percentage of salt was then gradually
lessened by the addition of fresh wa
ter until finally no salt remained.
Practically no material difference
:Ook place in the fish, which were as
lively as when they were taken out Of
the sea.
So encouraging has been the result
after a test extending over several
months that deep sea fish are now be.
ing introduced into rivers and fresh
water lakes in various parts Of Ger.
many. What changes may take place
in the nature and habits of the fish
remain as yet to be seen, as does also
the question Of their market value.
The complete success Of this oxperi.
ment will completely change the fish.
ing industry and will prove an especial
boon to communities far removed from
the seaboard. An American who has
lived for any length Of time in the
