s1oooooO WORTH OF GOLD sPEcTAcLEs USED
 ANNUALLY

Spectaces made and used Iv all classes of people and yet few mechanics know much about the way they are made. The lens glass comes rom Europe, but the making of blanks into finished lenses is all done in this country. This includes heating and curving between dies grind largely used, nearly a million dollars worth of gold being used per year for this purpose by firm.
 Practically the entire supply high grade lens glass comes from Europe being imported this country in the form of small disks or blanks These disks are but little larger than finished lenses, and come in various shapes and round for spherical lenses squares with rounded cor ners for cylindrical, meniscus and toric lenses.
 Some idea of the immense variety of lenses called for in modern optical practice may be had when we learn that 7200 different combinations are regularly furnished in sphere cylinder lenses alone and this simply in the form.
 Modern lens making necessitates heavy invest ments in machinery. Add the difficulty of finding experienced and competent workmen. and it is easily seen why there lens plants in this country.
 Since the perfection of gold filled metal the number of spectacle and eyeglass frames and mOuntings made of this material has shown very large yearly increase. Considering the importance Of gold filled wire and the many uses to which if IS put, it seems surprising that little is really known of this and how nearly equal gold It Is for many The term gold filled some what misleading; merely reversing almost thorough ly explains both the material and the process
 Filled gold it might well be called, consists of a gold filled with alloy of base metal. The popularity of gold filled is demonstrated by the fact that nearly $1OOOOOO gold is used an- nually in plant alone and half is used in the manufacture of the gold filled from which spectacle and eyeglaSs frames and mOuntings are made.-American Machinst.

Rome and the House in the Wood

All roads Rome apt fail to grasp real meaning of that ancient ruism. The general understanding has been that all roads con verged upon Rome because she was the mistress of the world . understand that Rome made the roads she did but in quite the sense we have understood The Romans built the roads and the made Rome But for those roads many people would not have gone Perhaps the barbarians who conquered her when weakened by her excesses would have reached Rome readily il those roads had been there But for those roads, the conquest of Rome would have been worth the long journey from the north.
 It was the Roman road that conquered the world Roman armies only surveying corps which located rights of way and cleared them for the builders. These roads criss-crossed Gaul, Britain Germany all with tendency toward Roads and bridges were wherever the Roman armies went Boys who have struggled through the "GaIIic War remember the difficulties with which they mastered description. plans and sspecifica tions of Caesars famous bridge. They worked harder the bridge builders did
 We see now what made Rome great the armies, the skill of the road-build CTS The whole world found pleasure and profit in travelling the Roman roads. So will all the people of the southwest throng the roads of Marcopa county when have built them the Romans built theirs all time roads which have been more enduring than the greatness and glory of Rome.
 This brings us to another matter. Someone wrote: If a man can preach a better write better book or build a better trap than his neghbor though he build his home in the wood, all world will make beaten path to his door Some have thought that Emerson wrote that, but it has been pretty definitely settled hat he did not. IL is found nowhere in his works. Emerson was too wise. philosophy too practical and too accurate.

OVERBUILpING MANHATTAN

The Record and Guide, discussing the drop in Manhattan's building figures, says the total de in the estimated of all classes of con- struction projected during the first six months of year compared with the corresponding period 1912 about $31,000,000, and of this decrease the diminution in the estimated cost of business buildings projected $24,0O0OOO Thus the decrease in the construction devoted to business purposes accounts for practically the whole of the total decrease. Construction during 1912 abnormal and had it been continued would have disastrous all concerned Some 246 business buildings projected last year at total estimated cost of about $65,G00,000. This if
 $20000 900 than the cores bonding figure of the four previous years, which had remained stationary about $45,000,000. Dur ing the three years, 1905, 1906 and 1907 years of business prosperity of only $3O0O00OO had been spent business buildings while in 1904 only $15,000,000. The corresponding total the first months of 1913 $I6000,
 900. It will be consequently, that if the exist ing of construction is continued throughout the year, the total amount business structures will be equal to the figures of 1906 1907 and inferior only to the totals of the last five years A rest extending for another twelve months is really necessary in order fill up existing vacancies and make it possible for property owners to recoup of their losses.
