Origin Of spectaclss.

An eminent authority has recently
contradicted some widely accepted opin-
ions on the subject Of spectaeles. For
instance, he found as the result Of an
examination Of historical data that to
the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Rom
ans glasses were unknown This is in
contravention Of the common statement
that Nero used glasses TO correct his
ear-sightedness. Spectacles, we are
now told, were invented by two Italians,
Armati and spina, at the end OF the thir-
teenth century. At first only convex
lens were used, but after about two
centuries concave ones were employed.
Thomas Young discovered the use Of
cylindrical lenses in 1901, and the as
tronomer. Airy. applied them for the cor
rection Of astigmatism in 1927. Bifocal
speetacles were invented and first used

Carp as a Food Fish.

When Seth Green stocked waters in
this state with German carp to add to
the food supply he didn't count on the
delicate taste Of Amercinas They would
mt eat the coarse fish, and treated che
carp with contempt Now it seems a
use has been found for the carp Some
food experts, noting the low prices at
which smoked salmon was offered in
Chicago, ana investigating found that it
was carp treated with pink paint and
LIQUID smoke OF course, that fraud
will be stopped; bnt if it was palatabIe,
honest smoked carp, sold under its true
name, ought to be a good eontribu-
ton to the country's food supply. Evil

rectly replied in the Chamber OF Dep.
uties Saturday to the address the Pope
made Thursday to French pilgrims, in
which the Pontif declared That France
is making war against the Church, with

Of Christianity. The Premier warned
the Republicans to stand together and
not to be alarmed by the strife and
disorder the Church is attempting to
stir up in the face Of the coming elec-

had been tried before, and the result
will be the same now.

He characterized the Catholic appeals

harrassing revelations regarding condi-

Turning to the Catholics, he declared
that the persecution Of which they com.
planned is purely imaginary.
