+â€"FIVWf | si dAuced. Mr. Carter recommends that peâ€" ple should look to the centering of their apectacles for themselves. This may be ensily done by standing before the looking. glass with the spectacles in their place. If the fit is a good one, the centre ot the puâ€" pil should then appear in the centre of the rim. Fully formed spectacles are always to be preferred to folding frames, because they permit of more satiafactory adjuet. ment in this particular, and becaure they are more ensily kept in the right position in regard to the eyos. The only advantage whicl the pebble enjoys over glaas for the construction of spectreles is the immunitv which it possesses seainst scratehing and fencture on account of its greater hardness. Edinburgh Review. f the images ‘n the separate eyos are a little displaced from the positions which they ought to hold, and that a somewhat painful and injurious effort has to be made by the eye to bring those images back into corâ€" respondesnce for accurate vision. An inâ€" cipient equint is apt to be in this way proâ€" ean be employed when protection for the eyo from intense glare is sought, as in the ‘«oase of travelling upon snowâ€"fields in the bright sunshine. â€" The green grass that is often adopted for this purpose is not by any means so worthy of confidence. And reading in railway travelling is objectionâ€" able in the highest dogree for a very cbâ€" vious reason. The ogcillation of the carriâ€" age continually alters the distance of the page from the eye, and so calls for unceasâ€" ing strain in the effort to keep the organ in due accommodation for the everâ€"varying distance from the dancing page. The erâ€" act fitting of the framework of spectacles to the fraee and eyes is of more importance than is gonerally conceived. If the centres of the lenses of the spectacles do not aceurately coincide with the centres ot the pupils of the eyes the consequence is that It is worthy of note that reading causes more strain to the eye than writing, and that copying work in writing makes groatâ€" er domand upon the organs of vision than offâ€"hand composition. Twilight and a mixture of twilight and artificial illumina. ‘tion should be avoided for any kind of work. Advice to Those Who Use Glasses.

The qualty has been much improved, the quantity greatly increased, and the uses to which paper has been successfully adapted are many and maryelous. The wasp was building much higher than he knew when ho went into the paperâ€"making business. He was a genuine Christopher Columbus and really discorered the Irper Word. That the wasp was the ;r;t paperâ€"maker will, we think, hardly be disputed. As patent laws did not probably exist in the 270 mNIS thing the wasps do, when about to build a nest, is to collect, with preference for old and dry wood, fibres about oneâ€"tenth of an inch long, and finer than a hair, and put them into bundles, which they increase as they continue on their way. These fibres they bruise into a sort af lint, and cement with a sizing of glue, after which they knead the material into paste, like paper mache, and roll up a ball ; this they trample with their foet into & leaf as thin as tissue paper. times be ; for assuredly the wasp was the first to show that it did not always reâ€" quire rags to manufacture paper, that vegâ€" etable fibres answered for this purpose and eould be reduced to a pulp, and that to raake the paper strong and tenacious, the fibres must be long. ] The first thing the wasps do, when about to build a noest, is to collect. with | Nature is a great teacher, and especially ‘does the paperâ€"making of the wasp illusâ€" trate how vainly suggestive she may someâ€" ooutaptaiiomemain â€"Aetrcscias 5.. 1 of far greater excellence, $ They made their paper, by very nearly the same process employed by man at the present time. Indeed, several of our best discoveries in regard to building, architecâ€" ture, and manufactures of various kinds, if they have not been derived from acute observation of the work of certain animals, including inseets, have, when compared with their constructions and their manner of making them, been found to show a wonderfully close resemblance.

The date of the invention and the founding of paperâ€"making is not definitely kncwn. The common wasp was, however, the inventor. The big wasp‘s nest, which vu.)nylhytnsuhdmmeo.md of.
