SOMETHING ABOUT GLASS EYES.
Artificial Optics for Day and for Evening
Em*—llio Oculist's Skill.
One eyed people who can afford it have
two glass eyes—one for day, the other
for evening use. The reason for this is
that the pupil of the eye is smaller in the
daytime than at night, and hence the
two glass eyes are of different sizes, so as
to correspond with the natural eye. The
price of glass eyes is becoming cheaper
on account of competition, and at the
same time the quality is better. A com
mon glass eye may be had for £10. but
they are not good deceptions and do not
hast long. A first class eye costs £.10, or
even more. The best will not last over
two years, because the secretions in the
hollow of the eye roughen the glass by
chemical action, and this roughness irri
tates the flesh.
A glask eye. like false teeth, is taken
out, at night, for it would not be safe to
go to sleep with it in the cavity. It
might drop out, and the slightest fa 11
would break it. If a person could buy
glass eyes at wholesale, by the gross, ho
could get them for about §2 apiece. Cut
he would have to look over a great many
before finding one to lit and to match his
other eye in size, cob r and expression.
Glass eyes-are all made abroad, princi
pally in Germany and France, no
factory having been started here,
although there is a great demand
for them in this country. A glass vyo
is not made after the sluqx? of a natural
eye, because when the latter is taken
from the cavity the tissue just back of it
presses forward and leaves but little
space. The false eye is, therefore, ellip
tical in shape. The outer side preserves
the natural foum. but the inner side is
near flat with rounded edges. It is
slightly larger than the natural eye, so
that when inseited in the cavity it may
not sliy out. At first it irritates the eyo-
lidsand the tissue back of the cavity, but
the wearer grows accustomed to it and
finds it a rest and a protection. A skillful
oculist can put a glass eye intotho cavity
so that very close observation is necessary
to detect it. Not only are the size and
color of the natural eye counterfeited,
but even the general expression. The
oculist has yet to discover means of giving
that sympathetic movement which dis
tinguishes a pair of eyes. There is quite
a large number of people with glass eyes,
say one in 400. You would not know it
by casual observation, for the wearer of
a glass eye is so sensitive on the subject
that he is careful of his actions in public,
and he becomes so accustomed to the
gliiss orb that he can prevent all but in
timate friends from discovering his de
fect. Science has done better by him
than by the man with the wooden limb.

AFRICAN “BLOOD BROTHERHOOD. * 1
Salt ii Factor in Building.
The American Architect asserts that
one of thi> new building materials which
is likely to he found useful in many ways
is common salt. Among the carpenters
salt is now found to houseful as an aid to
the heating of glut;. Where, as is usual
in joiners’ a cabinet makers’shops, the
glue is in . in a jacket kettle, sur
rounded by wiiior. it is said to be advis
able to put salt m the water in tin* outer
kettle. The addition of salt raises the
(toiling point, and, therefore, aiiows me
glue in the kettle to lie kept at a higher
temperature than could be maintained
with water alone, and this is advanta
geous to the work. The masons find
their use for salt in adding it to cemet t
mortar in cold weather, to preserve it
from the bad effects of freezing.
It is not quite clear why the salt should
act in this way, as the beneficial results
of using it arc visible with mortar which
has certainly been frozen, and frozen salt
water expands nearly as much as fresh
vvater. But engineers and contractors
who have tried it are unanimous in their
opinion of irs value. In maiiy cases
masonry lias been laid in cement in cold
weather, using a considerable proportion
of salt in the mixture, which after re
viewed freezings and thawings has re
mained iu perfect condition, while work
Hear by laid in mortar of the same kind,
but without salt, has been disintegrated
hv the frost.—Scientific American.
JieYciirre mong tl** Afghans.
Bail a!, or revenge, is the soul of Afghan
life. All the history of Afghanistan, both
public and private, is one continued tale
of vendetta. However, it chances that I
have not in my collection any song of
vendetta illustrating this side of Afghan
life in a manner sufficiently character
istic to deserve quotation. Suffice it to
sav that vendetta is with the Afghans
what it is with the Corsicans, the Alba
nians. all primitive mountaineers: it is
hereditary and not. to he prescribed. Even
on.British territory the law is powerless
against the bad::!: it is one of the crimes
for which* no wiDtoss will be found to
speak before the judge hi lcaehehn. There
is. hardly an Afgiiaq in t he mountain who
lias not a fee who aims at his head and
at whose head lie aims. It luipjiens not
.seldom that, an Afghan sejxiy from Yag-
liistan—many Afghans from over the
border enlist in the native contingent—
asks for leave for private business: that
means that there is up there some wolf's
head which he has to take, lhore is a
story of an Afghan sepoy, who. having
not joined liis paltan in due time, com
plained bitterly of tlie iniquity of his
officer, who had dismissed him from ser
vice: “I had a duty of badal to perform:
1 had n foe to kill. The scamp absconded
for weeks; what could 1 do:" lontorn-
]K>niry Review.
Bishop Taylor’s Experience wJtli a Sable
Potentate— A Solemn Ceremony.
In about half ail hour the king came.
He was attended by a body guard of 100
soldiers armed for combat. The intro
duction was unceremonious, because the
two men could not speak a common lan
guage. The bishop relieved the situation
of any awkwardness by stepping forward
quickly and extending liis hand to roy
alty, saying as he did so. “I am glad to
meet you.” The king received the prof
fered hand with dignity, and when the
bishop’s words had been translated to
him lie responded:
“I have heard of the old white man,
well digger, long walker, who speaks
kind words. Vv hat would the old white
man do in Mambalungo? ’
••I am on my way,” explained the
hi hop. "to Malange, where friends will
follow me and stay.”
"You are welcome to Mambalungo, ’
continued the king. • ‘Vv hy not stay
here with us rather than journey on to
Malange?” •
‘•I liave many places to visit, O king,
hut my friends who will follow mo will
visit you You are now at war; when
there is peace again you may see much
of us.”
The answer was well understood by
the African, but he made no objection.
In a moment he continued: ‘-Tell me
what it is that the old white man, well
digger, long walker, and his friends
would do in this land?’ ’
"Wo come to live among you. to bring
you peace and to tell you of many good
things. ’ ’
The king was impressed deeply with
the idea that the bishop and his friends
had come to stay and to work for them
selves ujion the soil instead of trading.
As he talked with the bishop, he grew to
like the old white man more and more,
ami at last he said: "We have heard that
the men of Kumbua are coming to make
war upon us. They lie between here
and Malange. You will not venture to
continue your journey before we have
defeated them and brought about a
peace?”
"Yes, O king!” replied the bishop. “I
shall go on as soon as I can. I am a
friend to the people of Mambalungo and
their king, but I am also a friend to the
Kumbuans and their king likewise.
There is no danger for me from them
any more than there is danger from you.
There is One above me to guard and pro
tect me.”
"The white man’s God is indeed very
powerful.” assented the king, gravely,
"and the white man speaks bravely and
frankly. None other would I permit to
pass from our town to the army of the
Kumbuans. I believe you are my friend
and I will show you that I am yours.”
He thereupon summoned his chief lieu
tenant. and after a brief talk with him
sat down on the floor of the hut and
beckoned the bishop to sit beside him.
The lieutenant, then did some talking, the
purport of which was that the king de
sired to cement the friendship he had
formed for the white man by having the
ceremony of blood brotherhood per
formed upon them. The bishop con
sented, although he knew little of the
ceremony.
The lieutenant produced a sharp point
ed knife, highly polished, which he
touched upon his tongue, whether to test
its sharpness, after the manner of bar
bers, or to give proof that it was not
poisoned the bishop could not lie certain.
Then, standing up before the king and
the bishop, he made an impressive ad
dress, which the bishop learned later was
about the relation^ that ought to main
tain between brothers. Then he knelt by
the king, who raised his robes slightly so
as to disclose his leg bare to the knee.
The lieutenant pricked the calf with
the point of his knife, so that a few drops
of blood ran. He caught them in liis left
hand and turned to the bishop, who,
comprehending the situation, rolled liis
trousers part way up his legs. The lieu
tenant made a similar incision upon the
bishop's calf and caught the dropping
blood in the same hand that held the
king’s blood. Then he stood up again
and rubbed the palms of liis hands to
gether, so that the blood was thoroughly
mixed, after which he spatted both hands
violently upon the ground, nibbing off
all traces of the blood with dust,- saying
as lie ditl so:
"Let a dragon spring forth from the
mingled blood upon the ground and de
stiny him who shall first break the ties of
brotherhood here formed.”
‘ The king arose, reached out his hand
to the bishop, who extended his own
hand, and they shook^solemnly, and the
ceremon v was over.

The First Petroleum Lamp.
The petroleum industiy in tlie United
States dates from the "fifties,” the first
sale of American oil taking place in 18^4,
but Abraham Schreiner, by documents
in the archives in Vienna, produced illu
minating oil as early as 18o3. He owned
a piece of land in Boryslaw, where, in an
opening in the earth, he found a bkick,
tar like substance which the peasants
had used from time immemorial to heal
wounds and grease their wagon wheels.
Schreiner got tlie idea that the fluid in
the clay might be employed in otliei
ways. He kneaded a ball from the
slime, stuck a wick into it, and it burned
brightly with a red flame until the sub
stance was exhausted. This was the flrst
petroleum lamp.
Later, Schreiner heard something of
distillation and determined to try a few
experiments. He purchased a huge kettle
and transformed it into a distilling appa-
ratus as well as possible, filled it with the
black earth and placed it upon tlie tire
to accomplish the distillation. But that
happened more rapidly tlian he wished.
Tlie petroleum exploded, the kettle was
broken into a thousand pieces, and
Schreiner's body was covered with scars.
Hardly recovered from his wounds, he
began his experiments again with a
proper apparatus, into the secrets of
which an apothecary had introduced
Inin. Here he was crowned with better
success. He gained a product which re
sembled a strongly smelling oil, and pe
troleum was found. He tilled a bottle
and sold it to a druggist in Dropobyez.
That was in the year 1853. Schreiner
was, therefore, not only the discoverer of
petroleum, but the first who introduced
it into commerce.—•Berlin Cor. New York
Tribune.
John Randolph's Court Presentation.
John Randolph, of Roanoke, dressed
very eccentrically while he was at home,
and his dress during liis mission to Rus
sia was hardly more extravagant than
that he wore at Roanoke. In writing of
it he says: "My dress on presentation
to their imperial majesties was a suit of
the finest black cloth that London could
afford; and with tlie exception of a steel
capped sword it was the dress of Mr.
Madison during the late convention.” It
vv »,<■ irnamented with gold shoe and knee
hu. ► -eg, and Randolph says that he was
ar a ell dressed as Prince Talleyrand, who
was presented at the same time.
Josiah Quincy visited Russia some
years after this, and in his life there is
a story related concerning this presenta
tion of John Randolph. Says this au
thority: "When he was presented to
the empress she put out her hand and
Randolph went down on his knees to
take it. He wore, however, tight gaunt
lets and he did not attempt to get these
off before he fell upon his knee. It was
contrary to etiquette to touch the lady's
bare hand with a gloved hand, and it
took him so long to get liis tight glove off
that her majesty smiled at his predica
ment and the courtiers laughed out
aloud.” Randolph soon took his leave
of Russia and returned to the United.
States. Before he did so lie had a pleas
ant interview with the emperor, and he*
made a remark which it is said made the-
empress laugh most vociferously. He*
bowed himself out backward as he left,
and "it was lucky,” said he, "that I
happened to be near the door.”—Frank
G. Carpenter in American Magazine.
Americans Eat Too Much Beef.
A large | iroportion of our steadfast
people, who do not drink at. all, ruin their
health by eating. A few years back I
took dinner with an old French wine
merchant. He had four pints ®f wine
set out in the snow, for-it was winter.
When it came to the Burgundy I turned
my glass down,, saying that it went to
my feet. "No,” said the ckl man. "1
drink wine all my life. My father kept
a hotel in Switzerland before me. I came
to this country a waiter at Delmonico's,
and now I am a wine merchant. I have
never had the gout in my life, but I never
eat meat more than once a day. The
Americans eat too much beef. It makes
too much blood for them, and that brings
on tlie gout.”
“What do you eat?” said I.
"I eat fish and chicken and birds; light
viands. I take veal in preference to beef,
as it has less blood in it.”
Mr. Bookwalter, of Ohio, who lias been
a good deal abroad, some time ago re
marked that lie thought the intensity and
want of serenity and peacefulness in the
American nature was due to its carniv
orous habits. Said lie: "I have been
studying for soma time the natural his
tory of animals, and I notice that those
animals which resemble the Americans
in their avidity, their leaping at business
or breakfast in the same way, are the
meat eaters. We are a carnivorous peo
ple; and if we confined ourselves more to
farinaceous food, herbs and oils and such
tilings as liave been approved by antiq
uity, we would be a happier race.”—
George Alfred Townsend.

The Song of Birds.
To a certain extent we may take Ibu
sounds uttered by” birds and animals as
an index to their emotional condition.
If you bear a man humming an air as bo-
walks along, you conclude either that lie
is a lunatic or that he is happy. Spon
taneous song, whether cf birds, animals,
or man, is possible only when the singer
is cheerful. A pianist may of deliberate
purpose play a set piece, but he will
never successfully improvise when he is
miserable. The song of our hedge
warblers., though it of course contains
inherited elements, is essentially an im
provisation: it is by no means necessary
to their existence or their perpetuation.
Developed at first as an adjunct to sexual
selection, it has been extended as the
highest exponent of pleasure of all kinds.
Ir begins each year in the breeding
season, but it is by no means confined to
that season.—Nineteenth Centurv.
