Memory After Death

In considering our destinies beyond
the grave, we need have no reason to
linger too long over these apparitions
or these revelations, even though they
should really be incontestable and to
the point They would seem. all told,
to be only the incoherent and precari-
Gus manifestations of transitory
state. They would at best prove, IL
we were bound to admit them, that a
reflection of ourselves, an after-vibra-
ton Of the nerves, bundle of emo
Itions, spiritual silhouette, b grotes-
que and forlorn image, or, more corr
rectly, sort of truncated and uproot-
ed memory, can, after our death, linz
ger and float in space where moth
ling remains to feed it, where it grad
|ually becomes wan and lifeless, but
where special fluid, emanating
from an exceptional medium, succeeds
at moments in galyanizing it. Per-
haps it exists effectively, perhaps it
subsists and reviVes only in the recol-
lection of certain sympathies. After
all, 1t would be not unlikely that the
memory which represents US during
our life should continue to do so for
"a few weeks or even few few years
after our decease. This would ex-
plain the eyasive and deceptive char
acter of those. spirits. which, posses
sing only mennonite existence. are
naturally able to interest themselves
only in matters within their reach
Hence their irritating and uaniacal
energy in clinging to the slightest
facts, their sleepy dizziness, their in
comprehensive indifference and ig-
norance, and all the Wretched absurd
tiles which we have noticed more
than once. Maurice Maeterlinck.

History of SpectacIes

What were supposed to be the earl
lest known pair of spectacles were
those belonging to Willibald Pirk-
.heimer in the Wartburg, recently
found by Greeff Of Berlin. Greeff has
described a still earlier pair, however,
probably made before the year 1900
which were brought to his attention
by, Sudhoff of Leipsic. These were
found in an old volume of ineunabula
by the well-known antiquarian book
seller, Jacques Rosenthal, and were
presented by him to the Germanic ma
tional museum at Nuremberg, where
they are now to be seen in the sec.
tons devoted to costumes and per-
sonal ornaments The frame is of
tanned blackened leather, of obvious
Nuremberg make, and, like the -Pirk-
heimer spectacles, of the old tradi-
tional "nose-rider" shape, but they
are elumsier an dthicker than the
Phkheimer pattern of 1520-1530. The
lenses are lacking. In view of these
characteristics and of the fact that
they were found in an old fifteenth
century folio, Greeff and Sudhoff
seem to have no doubt that they were
made before 1900. These old specta-
Giles, probably the Oldest in existence.
are described by writer in the Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton. The origin of the present fash
ion Of large circular lenses set in de-
licate tortoise-shell mounts is a pas
tel portrait of the painter Chardin in
the Louvre, executed by himself in
1860, the spectacles in which were CO.
pied with great success by recent
French opticians and are known in
Paris as Chardin spectacles. The
same type is familiar to us in a we'll
known portrait of Benjamin Franklin
Four or five years ago. says Greeff,
young woman or lady of fashion
would have been Mortified at the no.
ton of wearing spectacles of such an
unsightly type. Today she would re-
gard it as not only chic, but the
height of elegance. Plenty of people
in America are inclined, no doubt, to
revive the traditions of "old Ben
Franklin's days" for similar reasons,
although the optical advantages and
the comfort of these large lenses are
obvious.
