ORIGIN OF SPECTACLEs.
Mentioned in I460 by Chinese, but
Obtained from Traders.

From Chambers Journal
Spectacles do not seem to have been
known until about the year 1900, though,
OF course, men even III Roman times had
discovered the use OF convex and concave
glasses TO modify the sight. and single
lenses Of some sort were rounded off 90
as to At in the eye without the support
Of the hand.
The Chinese, who are usually supposed
to have invented almost everything first,
certainly derived their knowledge of
spectacles from Europe. most probably
from the Jews settled at K'ai-feng-Fu.
The first certain mention OF spectacles
occurs in g work published about A. D.
1850, called Local Miscellanies.' The
passage runs as follows:
When I was at the metropoIis-that is.
Pekin-staying at the house of & certain
military friend, noticed that his father
was in possession of en- object presented
10 him by the late Emperor I'd. 1890 hay-
ing the appearance Of two disks OF moth
er-of-pearl. but very slender in bulk, with
rims OF gold amplified into a sort of han
die.
"Old men. whose eyes are too dim to
make out small writing, place this object
In front OF the two eyes, on which the
size is magnified double or more
Moreover, / have recently met with
one at the house OF one OF the assistant
secretaries OF state, and I tested It with
Identical results. He said he had OBJ
tained IL in exchange for a good horse
from a western region trading HUI Mwan-
la, and he understood its name to be al
tai"
It must be explained, with reference to
the term Hu. that it had been for many
centuries applied Unfortunately to Syr-
ians, Persisns, Hindus. and Tartars; the
words western region" however, ex-
clude Tartars. and usually Hindus.
The only known use of the sound
Mwan-la Is in reference to the Jewish
mollahs (mostly Persian), who In the
year 1921 received some favors and pres
ents ct the Emperor's hands.
The learned Shanghai priest, Fr. Pierre
Hoang. native Chinese. thinks that the
syllables ai-tai may represent the Portu-
guese lunetea, but, besides being rather
far-fetched. this derivation does not take
into consideration that the Portuguese
had not yet FOR a century begun their
trading career.
Besides. the first spectacles were made
in Italy. and Il is not impossible that
Marco Polo had introduced them into
China, or, more probably. one Of the
Italian archbishops OF Pekin.
A later work. called Rare Objects Ex-
planned" says that the ai.tai are as big
as money disks. Of transparent SUBJ

stance. end almost colorless; they are
used as eye-mirrors. and derive their
name from the idea (ai-tai means this OF
light clouds shrouding the sun and
moon" (The Chinese still call spectacles
"eye-mirrors.'D
A stiii later work, of century and a
half ago, called the collection of Onlis-
sions," says that "eye-mrrors were con-
sidered extremely valuable objects dur
ing the preceding dynasty Q9Ss-1643) and
were either given as presents from the
palace or were purchased from Hu trad
ers, only the wealthy possessing means
TO procure them.
Now, however, they are cheap all over
China. having originally come from
abroad. and all being made of glass. The
Cantonese artisans. initiating their shape,
now manufacture a much superior article
out of crystal"
I have often seen the Cantonese spec
tacle makers saving Jumps OF crystal
with the aid of water and emery at their
shop doors. The crystal thus saved has
the color Of sea water.

DISAPPEARING CAR STEPS.

subject 10 which the car authorities
have given much study during the last
three years-is 10 be tested by the board
Of supervising engineers of Chicago
The novelty OF the invention lies in the
fact that the steps fold out of sight when
the car is in motion, and become availa-
bic only when the coach has come TO a
full stop. The vestibule door at the front
end Of pay-as-you-enter cars. remaining
locked until the car stops, has served 10
prevent Tipping and consequent mis-
haps. II Is claimed that the disappearing
steps will do as much 10 assure safety
AT the rear platform.
AS the steps are two in number. the In
ventor, William r. Henderson. asserts in
the Chicago Post that boarding and leav-
Ing cars viii be made easy for persons

Gus. They are folded under the car when
II is in motion, being operated BY a con-
venient lever. and their greater proiec-
ton will not cause collisions with the
hubs Of passing vehicles, an objection
which two-step plans formerly offered.

disappearing step disappearing fender

simultaneously, though IT may be applied
Independently. This fender when in ae-
ton drops down TIL II rests upon the
rails, small wheels or rollers supporting

of sight under the car platform.
Extending around the steel front OF the
car near the ground. and so designed
that il appears to be a part OF it, is a
bumper" II the car strikes a person
the pressure on the bumper automatical-
~ releases the fender. which drops with
a 'scooping' motion, aimed to catch up
the person hit and hold him safe from
contact with the wheels. It also may be
released by the hand or foot of the mo-
torman.
