Today, photography is looked upon

very great danger to navigation, of
the very large vessels to penetrate
the waters of the world, and to carry
on navigation as 1t is conducted at
the present time.
Today the physical features of all
navigable streams are carefully
placed upon charts, the task is simple
and devoid of risk. Governments OF

GLASS EYES GETTING scARcER
War Prevents Importation and Their
Cost Increases.


Glass eyes are getting scarcer and
higher in price, wholesale dealers say,
with no prospect of an increased sup.
ply while the war continues. The
authorities in the trade say that more
than three hundred thousand people in
this country wear glass eyes and keep
on buying them from time to time, as
the eyes usually wear out within a
year or two. @a@F = s4 48
1 New York is the center of the trade
in this country. The wholesalers there
say that all of their imported eyes are
from Germany. The importers also
manufacture eyes in New York, but all
of the material used in making the
eyes includes special qualities OF clear
and colored glass which are combined
in the process of manufacture in order
to intimate as closely as possible the
appearance of natural eyes.
\ No shipment of eyes or material for
eyes has been received since the war
began. The present supply of manu-
factured eyes, the wholesalers say.
will last only a few months.

MUCH pEsPlSED WEED
HAS MEDICINAL VALUE

Thynol Plant Found Growing Wild in
Wisconsin-Had Been Import
ing from Germany
Thymol is an important antiseptic.
For years it has been manufactured
almost exclusively in Germany, from
a plant cultivated in India. At the
beginning of the European war the
price of this medicinal chemical rose
from 81 to SIT pound.
"Yet during all these years." says
Prof. E. Kremers. of the University of
Wisconsin, while we have been i'm
porting about 10000 pounds of thymol
annually, a weed growing on the
sandy areas along the lower course
of the Wisconsin River has probably
been producing enough thymol to have
supplied the entire United States in
the present crisis"
Although attention has been direct
ed again and again to this medicinal
agent, this weed has been allowed to
go to waste. Because of it's thymol,
it is not even touched by grazing cat
tie or sheep. Yet after the thymol has
been removed the exhausted plant is
eaten by animals, and may thus be
converted into a useful agricultural
product.
Now that the supply from Europe is
cut off, resquests for seed and plants
have been received at the Wisconsin
pharmaceutical experiment station.
