Antiquity Of Spectacle.

The ordinary magnifysns spectacles
with convex lenses came into use some
time near the end OF the thirteenth
century. Their invention is generally
attributed to two Italians. Armati and

time old people in Germany were wear

Journal. the first use of concave lenses
was of much later date probably not

installing in the Museum a typi-
cal Wisconsin drugstore Of a half
centuary ago. The druggists of
the state long since donated the
necessary articles for the exhibit,
and with the reorganization of the
Museum now under way the long
delayed project is being carried
into execution. Whatever altera-

NEDERLANp s-MINEs is

The base ball game between the
Nederland and Central City teams
last Sunday resulted in a decided
victory for the home aggregation.
Our boys had the edge in every de-
partment and slaughtered them with
their team work. There were many
errors on both sides, and the home
team became ashamed Of themselves
for taking advantage of those of the
opposing team and it looked at times
like they were making loose plays
to keep up the courage of their OPP
ponents.
1t is to be hoped that the Neder-
land team will make good use Of
their time and practice faithfully that
they may make a better showing the
next time they meet.
Four automobiles brought a crowd
Of fans over from Nederland to root
for their boys and all seemed to en-
Joy the trip. There was a smaller
attendance than was anticipated and
the people of Gilpin county should
wake up and give the boys the sup
port they deserve. Following is the
