Making Lenses.

There is absolutely no other human
occupation that requires the accuracy
Of observation and the delicacy of
touch that are requisite for the max
ing Of the finest lenses. These are the
most perfect products Of human hands.
1t may convey some Idea Of the labor
required In the making Of a large lens
to say that at least one years time Is
required for the grinding and polishing
Of thirty inch object glass. A little
lens two inches In diameter requires
the unremitting care and attention Of
a skilled workman for two or three
days. 1t is easy. then, to see why 1t Is
that even lenses for high class photo
graphic work are costly. A forty inch
object glass for a large telescope can
not be made In much less than four
years time, and II everything does not
go just right 1t may require much
longer than that

causes of the greatest scourges of the
flesh save two. The cause Of those
diseases when discovered will aid ma
terially in the finding of a cure. In
fact every one seeks to know the cause
of his misery for obvious reasons. If
we know the cause it is more or less
easy to find the remedy. The finding
of the causes of tuberculosis have
solved the problem of the treatment of
that disorder. The finding of the cause
of typhoid fever has aided materially
in the treatment as well as in the
prevention of that disease. When the
cause or causes of cancer are definitely
and generally known cancer should be
driven from the bodies of our contem-
poraries. We shall then be able to
guard against the production of can
Ger. So it will be with every disease
of every character, whether it be or
ganic OF functional in its nature.
The causes of diseases must be
known if we would rid the world of
the suffering, the misery that some of
us know. If we are to be successful in
Graduating disease all of us must CO.
operate and organize lay and profess
sional organizations to ascertain the
best ways and means to prevent sick
ness. Is it folly to assume that men
will finally devote as much time, en-
ergy and money for protection against
disease as we now spend to hurl hui

THE PREVENTION OF DISEASE.
Phone Douglas 36l7

The fact that the attendance at the
recent annual meeting of the Society
for the Prevention of Disease which
was held at Rochester, Minnesota, was
Sreater than the attendance at the
last annual meeting of the American
Medical Association may be taken to
indicate that humanity is beginning to
get at the real issue. The people, lay
as well as the doctors, who attended
That meeting deserve to be heard, be-
cause they believe in locking the barn
BEFORE the thief visits it. The So
siety for the Prevention of Disease is
evidence enough of the millenial dawn.
It has often been said by the fore
most thinkers of this as well as preced-
ing ages that the best service that
science can give is the prevention of
disease We have not apparently
given as much thought to the proven
ton of disease as we have given to
the cure of disease. It is easily under
stood that to cure disease it is neces-
sary to prevent the further application
of the cause. To prevent the further
application of the cause is to prevent
disease itself. 1t is evident then that
we can best serve humanity by ascer-
tanning the causes of disease and by
prevention of the causes of disease.

world are seeking diligently for the

STATE BANK ASSESS
MENT INCREASED.

Increases in the state assessment
roll amounting to $1,906,57O we're

lands says a Carson City dispatch.

5000, 900. The increases on lands so

tee was adoptd without discussion,
but a general discussion of the recon-

land valuations was started, none of
the assessors being satisfied with the
increase recommended.
The Carson Valley bank was in

valuation being placed at $1,000. an
increase of $4,000. Others were:
Bank of Sparks, assessed at 1900,

William Karge, the night operator,
was asleep at the side of the switch
board when the fire started and was
awakened by the heat and seeing that
he would be unable to control the hre
Immediately turned in the alarm.
Had he been a few minutes later 1t Is
probable that the fire would have
gained such Roadway that the entire
building and those adjoining would
have been a mass of flames. AS II
was the fire company responded in a
very few minutes after the alarm had
been sounded and the fire e~xtinguish-
ed with comparatively small damage,
other than to that portion OF the
switchboard room where 1t started.
The cot was burned up entirely and
the woodwork in the badly
charred. But fortunately the switch
board with all the phone lines that
enter the city, is practically unharm-
ed. This is probably due to a large
bucket of water hat n of the first
persons at the scene threw owe that
portion of the room.
There is no clew as to how the fire
started and the first that Mr.. Karge
knew was when he was awaken
ed by the heat of the flames and saw
that the cot and some of the wood
work of the room was on fire. After
turning in the alarm he barely had
time to escape from the smoke filled

for the various lands of the state.
says the Carson City News.
What would appear to be just the
proper method for one county would
be objected to by the assessor of
another county and the final result
of the meeting was a disappointment
to most of the members. as they are
apparently no neare to a solution of
the matter than they were Monday
morning.
Numerous resolutions we're pre-
sented to the board by the various
members, only to be rejected by "a
majority vote, and the only one to
reveive a favorable vote was the one
providing that on all land in coun-
ties of Humboldt, Eureka, Washoe,
Lyon and Douglas, the minimum rate
OF 500 per acre be fixed as the as
sessment value.
The motion carried by a small
margin. but against the vigorous pro-
tests of the assessors of the several
counties named. and a notice was
given by Governor Boyle for the re-
consideration of the motion.
The proposition of placing a valua-
ton of $3.50 per acr on grazing
lands in the counties of Elko, Hum
boldt, Washoe and Douglas was lost
by the close vote of 10 to 8.
