Perfection in Artificial Eyes.
From, the I iterarv Dicest

The modern artificial eye can do
everything except see. The latest
| models, known as reform" eyes, are
made of cryolite glass and are hygienic
as well as deceptive. Frank billing
ham, our consul general at Coburg.
Germany, writes in the Daily Consular
| and Trade Reports that, owing to the
new technic in eye manufacture, there
| can now be produced all the charac-
teristics OF the human eye which had
not been possible in enamel work. AS
| late at 1880 all artificial eyes showed q
pronounced boundary line between the
| iris and sclerOtic, or outer covering OF
the eye. They touched one another,
while in the human organ the sclerotic
| turns into a transparent coat called the
cornea. The sclerotic is lined with a
highly pigmented membrane called the
choroid, which changes according to
the age and state of health of the eye.
This popularity OF nature may now be
initiated SO that now this choroid can
be produced to suit every case. He
continues:
With this discovery the last link
In the chain for producing an imitation
of the iris was arrived at, but far the
most important matter, the shaping of
the eye. remained defective and needed
Improvement. The new prosthetic eye
received the name reform eye To be
fit the eye socket exactly.
To-day 1t Is possible to give the re-
form eye any form desired, and in most
cases they can be worn even at night.
Besides their undeniable cosmetic and
sanitary value, these reform eyes have
the additional advantages of greater
resisting and lasting qualities, as re-
CARDS breakage and wear, and their in
PRODUCTION has at last given the pros
thet1c eye the place due 1t as an in
dispensable hygienic remedy.
AT times attempts have been made
to replace the breakabie glass by vul-
canite or celluloid, but such efforts
have long since been given up as use
| less. The fraGility of artificial glass
eyes and their sudden cracking through
| changes in temperature can be reduced
! to q minimum by careful work. If eyes
crack without apparent cause, 1t ia
usually sign that they are cheap
so-called stock eyes, where quantity
rather than quality is aimed at"
The way in which glass eyes are
now made in Lauscha. the center OF
this industry in Germany. about "a
miles from Coburg, is described by
the author. Here their manufacture Is
altogether a house industry. He says:
''The eyes are usually made by one
member OF a family, and the art Ii
handed down from one generation tc
another. A gas flame Is used fol-
melting the glass and the method OF
manufacture Is as follows: A small
| drop OF white glass is put on the
white blown ball from which the sole.
| rotic Is to be made, and is then blown
| so as to make a circle about eigh,
| millimetsrs (0.315 inch) in diameter. or
| this circle the structure Of the iris II
| built by means Of thin, variously col.
| ored glass rods. A drop of black glass
| makes the pupil. Over the finished iris
| crystal glass is melted in order to imi.
| tate the cornea. The further manufac.
ture is similar to that given in thu
| first description"

Wild Geese in Flight.
From The Toronto Globe.


There can be no more impressive
sight than straining line Of wild
geese moving in the Lear air with
steady strokes, their rigid necks point
ing to their northern summer home,
their outlines slowly diminishing until,
as a row of floating dots, they vanish
In the uncertain distance.
AS they scan the continent in their
northward sweep the feeble efforts that
dot 1t here and there with cities must
seem to them helpless presumption.
They call in the JOY Of their strength,
and the poor prisoners Of gravitation
fancy that the resonant tones from the
vast, airy dome Is a special message to
their own little worlds. More impress
sive than this voice Of the open day
or the sight Of the vigorous and steady
forms coursing the air is the sonorous
mingling of cries in the starry dome
when the lofty way OF travellers is
concealed by the enshrouding night.
Through the baffling mystery Of
countless points of light from immeass
urable distances comes the more APP
pealing mystery of the near but invis-
ible wanderers, hailing from their I'M
charted course. Fancy pictures the
geometrical accuracy OF the passing
flock. Their course can be followed by
the tireless repetition of their resonant
calls. Even their numbers can be
guessed by the multitude Of voices.
