FACTS ABOUT EYEGLASSES
AneIents Knew Nothing Of Aids OF
VIslon--spectac,es First Used at
End Of Thirteenth Century.

It Is hard to realize what our ances-
tor did without the help Of spectacles.
The first mention of them seems to
be towards the end OF the thirteenth
century. when convex spectacles were
invented-it Is supposedly Roger
Bacon. Concave glasses were intro
duced soon afterward. but the spscta-
Gle Makers company OF London was
not Incorporated until 1880. II seems
that the ancients knew nothing of
these aids of vision; and 1t is more
than likely that Homer and even Mil
ton might have been spared their
blindness, had they understood the use
OF powerful lenses. Eyeglasses came
In much later. when the spectacles
were considered too cumbersome for
fashionable wear; and lorgnettes
came even later. when great ladies'
wished an ornamental case for their
eyeglasses. The eyeglasses OF today
fit on the nose with spriny--former-
ly they were hello simply by the hand.
