Their only mail was cancellations. It | was a tough assignment for a speaker. I showed these hopeless gentlemen a photograph of a vacant Iot, a_ big corner a couple of hundred feet square in the very centre of New York. I said to them: "Doesn't it strike you as strange that here, in the heart of the greatest city, where land is worth thousands of dollars a front foot, there should be this vacant lot?" They were only mildly interested, but I took a deep breath and plowed ahead. "T'll tell you why that lot is vacant," I continued. "It was part of a farm. Just a hundred years ago the farmer died; his will gave definite instruc- tions to his heirs. They were at liberty to do as they wished with his other property, but this particular corner of his favorite pasture was to remain for- ever unencumbered with buildings, as a resting place for his bones and the bones of his wife. "Stop and think what that means," I said to my down-hearted audience. "Only a hundred years ago... only a little more than one lifetime, this island was farms.

"You thought I was talking through | my hat ten years ago," I said to them. | "But just look at the last ten years.

The new glasses, devised by a Ger- man oculist, are an adaptation of the thin glass shells sometimes used to protect the cornea in cases of inflam- mation. The new lenses are said to be No irritation, it is claimed, of the eye or eyelid, and no interference with the flow of tears, will result if the in- ternal lenses are properly shaped and ground. The inventor says that there is no great danger of injury to the eye in case of breakage, but other oculists are inclined to doubt this. WORK FROM WITHIN The missionary smiled benevoient- ly on the native tribe around him. 'T| will cure them all of cannibalism," he said, hopefully, as he retired to his hut. There he was shortly afterwards joined by a native. 'The king has sent me to dress you for dinner," said the man. "Ah," smiled the missionary. "How thoughtful of him! You are the royal valet, I suppose?" "No," replied the native; "I'm the royal cook."
