Munitions at the Outbreak of Hostilities. Without optical glass the modern army would go blindfolded to desfruc- tion. The Navy needs optical instru- ments of many kinds, from the sub- marine's glass-eyed periscope to the long-distance glass which sees the periscope among the tumbling waves. The Air FoPee would run its hergiec risks in vain without more piercing than the human eye to developments, ealls for optical glass again. . : Only Used Once. The difficulties in the way of in- creasing the supply of optical.giass Britain was extreme. A considerable supply from abroad stopped short in August, 1914; so the English manu- facturers, with their scientific staffs, were obliged to set to work to eluci- date the secrets of the various optical glasses manufactured abroad before the war. " But to discover formulae for mak- ing many kinds of eptical glass was only the firet- step. There was "the question of the supply of raw mater'- ials. There was:the question of the "pots" in which the glass is made. The. pot is very important, for the nature of. any "melting" of glass made by fusing a given mixture of raw material at a specified heat is affected also by the substance of the vessel in which the melting is done. More than that, the melting of glass once made can never be entirely cleaned hill called Wawel, after slaying a! huge dragon whose cave (to prove| must be used once, and once only, for | the story) is still exhibited to sight-| optical glass.

Sometimes five, some- times three, and more rarely one lens, is then "smoothed" at a single opera- tion. The smoothing, in which .pro- cess the glass is brought-nrearer to its correct curve, and the pits in its surface reduced to véry smal! dimen- sions, is done by holding the ball on which the letises are fastened inside a rapidly revolving brass cup, the inner surface of which is fed with water finer and finer emery-powder. 'The lens, when ground and polish- ed, should have its surfaces curved : } ' t ' some device | to a required standard of accuracy; but this is not measured by rule or micrometer, but by comparisons with a master surface. If the Jens has e=- actly the sume curvature as the mas- ter surface. one being convex and the other concave, the two lie one upon another; with no film of air be- tween them, a consequently no trace of prismatic colors--or, one ought to say, interference colors-- visible at their edges.
