The Craving For Salt.

do those who have little or none of
it crave for it? You should see, as

the whole population turn out of an
African village on the approach of
white prospectors in the hope of OBJ
tanning salt. The men demanded it.,
the women clamored and the chill
dren cried for it. Even the coffee
colored babies slung astride their
mothers backs thrust forth their
tiny hands and devoured it as greed
lily as our English children do
sweets. A spoonful of salt all around
established amicabIe relations, and

medium. Value for value, salt pro-
cured three times as much as calico

UNscIENTIFlc MEASURES.
The Mixtures That Are Used In France
and In This Country.

The Mixtures That Are Used In Francs
and In This Country.
IL is a strange fact that, while
France makes use of her metrical
system Of reckoning by the decimal
in every form of measure and stand
ard except in her money, the
United States does not use the deci-
NAL system in any form of measure
except in money.
The Frenchman measures his dis
tsrce and solid and liquid quantities
by "deka" and "deci" and other
forms of prefxes denoting an in
crease or decrease of tenfold until
he comes to his money, in which
case he adopts the unscientifc meth
cd Of the sou and the franc and the
louis dor, with the livre and crown
and other unscientific terms of de-
nomination to fill out.
The American, however, although
boasting of his scientific advance
ment, still uses the same old un-
scientific measures of pounds and
ounces and tens or yards and feet
and inches and such ANTICIPATED
standards as sufficed for the simple
commerce of the middle ages but
are wholly unified to the orderly
and scientific business methods of
the twentieth century-except when
it comes to money. Then he wakes
scientific and adopts the decimal
system, using the cent and dime
and dollar and eagle, each differing
by tenfold.
The strange thing about all this
is that, although the French legis-
lative bodies and the American con-
gress have both made efforts to
change their system of measures so
as to make them wholly decimal
and scientific, the opposition has
been so great that these efforts have
been in vain. The advantage of
the decimal system is admittedly
OBVIOUS; the disadvantages OF the
older systems are patent to every
one.
Yet, such is the conservatism of
the average Humankind these COM
pose the bulk Of the population
that they refuse to submit to
change which has everything in its
favor. 1t is the same spirit that
prompts a tailor to put useless but
tons on the back and sleeves of a
mans coat because tailors have been
taught it for ages.
And so these two nations will
probably 60 along for generations,
each using defective system, and
yet each one able to acquire a per-
feet system if it would only adopt |
part of the system Of the other

Lenses So Delicate That q Rough f'a.
ger Mark Spoils Them.

Lenses 30 Deiicate That q Rough Fin
ger Mark Spells Them.
The microscope has grown from
q simple magnifying glass into a
complex of lenses and means of ad-
justment that has enabled trained
eyes to discover a world of infni-
tesimal things undreamed of before
the instrument was perfected.
There is nothing remarkable
about the stand on which the lenses
are mounted, except the extreme
accuracy that the sixty or seventy
parts demand; hence the finishing
Of it must be done by hand. Nearly
100 screws are used in the stand
alone, and some of them must be
turned so exactly that an error of
more than one five thousandth of
an inch spoils the screw.
The making of the lenses is still
more important. The glass, which
is the very best Of '1cad flint" is
received from the glass works in
small slabs and bricks. The work
men split the slabs into pieces Of
any required size by a small circu-
lar saw that has diamond dust ham,
mered into its edge for teeth. Next,
the men clip the detached piece into
a circular form with shears and
hold the rough block on hori-
sontal grindstone until it is worn
down to a smooth disk of the prop
er size and thickness.
After that it must be ground to
certain degree of either convexity
or concavity, according to the serv-
ice it is to perform. That the
men do by pressing it on rounded
grinder if it is to be concave, or
within a cup shaped one if it is to
be a convex lens. The grinders re-
volve horizontally at high speed.
The workman ascertains that the
proper curvature has been reached
by measurements and does his work
80 exactly that very lew lenses fall
TO pass the first test.
The right form having been OBJ
tanned, the lens must next be pol
ished on buff wheels until it is trans
parent, and here the strictest at
tention and skill are required. A
high power lens is useless unless it
brings the rays of light that pass
through it to an absolute focus.
Any irregularity in the curvature
of the lens will interfere with that,
because the rays of light will bend
at a different angle and blur the
image of the object before the lens.
How delicate this part Of the
process is you can judge from the
fact that big lens, such as is used |
in an observatory telescope, can be
spoiled if man drags his thumb
roughly across its surface.
Finally the lenses are tested and |
then mounted in the microscope. |
For the complete instrument you
must in some cases pay $1,00O-al- |
most altogether for labor and skill, |
for the materials of the exquisite
apparatus cost very little.-Y outh's |

The First Saw.

Talus, the Greek, is said to have
invented the saw from having once
found the jawbone of a snake, which
he employed to cut through small
piece of wood. In early periods the
trunks of trees were split into
boards with wedges, and, although
these deals were not always straight,
they were regarded as much better
suited to construction than sawed
boards because they followed the
grain and lasted longer and we're
stronger. Water mills for the pur-
pose of saving came into use in the
fourth century.
