Philadelphia Oculists Claim
Amazing Virtue for Lenses
of Amethyst Glns3
AID THE IJIGIIT WORKERS
Old Windows Give a Supply Curo
the Loss of Sight Opttclnns Offer
to Put New Fanes In Old Houses
Free of Cost to Owners.
Philadelphia. A discovery of grunt
value to those whose siRht has been
Impaired by working under artificial
light has been rtiado in this city. It
was learned that Amethyst-tinted
lenses made from window pane glasd
taken from houses in Walnut strcot
would cure blindness caused by work
in? on bright metals and under nrtlfl
cit.I light
This gless is simply ordinary win
dow panes that have been In use 'for
more than seventy-five yeais. In that
time it ins been turned an amethyst
tint by the direct, rays of the sun.
Philade'phla eye specialists arc op
timistic in their contentions for the
glass, which is termed by tte oculists
nnu opticians "the Philadelphia glass."
Some of the most wtdoly known phy
sicians in the city are v.slug it in their
dally practice and say that it has
proved wonderfully effective, and that
the eye disorders that It will relieve
and cure are many. Although the first
nnnounte:uent of the good results
from the use of this glass wa3 only
made about six months ago, it has re
ceived widespread attention and Phila
delphia physicians who were among
the first to give it a trying out have
received letters from other doctors in
all parts of the globe asking for sam
ples of the glass with which to ex
periment. Houses in Walnut street that were
erected In the early part of the last
century are being examined closely by
enterprising opticians. Many a staid
Philadelphia family who have lived in
the same house for several genera
tions have been surprised recently by
offers to put new glass in their win
dows free of cost. Upon close exami
nation It was learned the window
panes that the seemingly charitable
persons wanted to replace had the
precious amethyst tint.
Among the Philadelphia oculists
that have been workiug with the
amethyst tinted lenses is Dr. L. Web
ster Fox. i rofessor of opthamology in
the Medi o-Culrurgical College", and
an oculist of '.vide repute.
Dr. Fox has been nb'e to cure many
case s of temporary loss of sight and
bad y strained eyes when the amethyst
tim was corporated with correcting
lenses. He has been particularly suc
ce. sful In the case of printers, type
wr'ters, students and newspaper men,
rll of whom are required to apply the
eyes closely under artiticial illumlnn-Ho-j.
After wearing the violet glass
the patient as a rule refuses to go back
to the colorless glass, wearing the
other indefinitely. The glass has been
prescribed with great relief to those
whose eyes are exposed in an X-ray
laboratory.
PHOTOGRAPH HEART BEAT.
X-Ray Snap Shots Made Possible by
New Invention.
London. Photographs of a beating
heart have been made possible by
an invention enabling Xray snap
shots to be taken. The long exposure
hi'herto the gre-itest difficulty in
radio-graphic work is now unneces
sary as the ,-Hiinlc screen" (as the
new invention is called) reduces the
exposure to a twentieth of what it
would otherwise be.
A three-seconds exposure, instead
of a minute, will he used In ordinary
work, while instantaneous snapshots
are easily oMalnnu'o with powerful
modern X-ray apparatus. Blurred
photographs, due to patients moving,
or even breathing during the long ex
posure formerly necessary are thus
n thing of the past.
WATCHDOGS ON PAYROLL.
Savage Canines Serve Navy as Shore
and Dock Guards.
London. Official watchdogs aro
now on the payroll of the British
Navy. These canine guards are sta
tioned at the various shore establish
r.nts and dockyards, where they are
old off to range Oovernment proper
ty during the dark hours and prevent
any unauthorized parson from tres
passing. The dogs avo of a special mixed
breed, combining tho points of collie,
Airedale and retriever, and are bred
by Major ftlchardson, who devotes his
life to breeding and training dogs for
police, detective and ambulance work.
Keen scent, alertness and savagery
are the prominent characteristics of
the navy dogs.
ARSON TO PROMOTE TRADE.
Russian Timber Merchant to Die for

Kursk, Russia. A tlrabor merchant
named Levkin and two peasants of
this province have been condemned to
death by tho military court for arson,
committed merely to make a market

Mr-. James Crtarticr Plays Piano And
Hr Neighbor Tollow.
sprfngfleld, Ohio. Mrs. Jnmea
(Vainer of this city has solved tho
prrhiom of Increasing tho country's
eg.i supply. Sho has discovered that
one of tho best things to induce lions
to lay eggs is a liberal supply of In
sti umontal music. It is a little hard
on the neighbors who do not hnvo
flocks ot chiokons, but they aro willing
to put up with it for the time being
in tho interest of the science of egg
ology. Mrs. Cruamor's arms nre ach
ing and the ends of Jier fingers are
callous from playing upon the piano
hour after hour. Sho finds consolation,
howevor. In the fact that between each
tuno she can hear one or more hens
cacMing and announcing that her pay
for the music is a fresh egg. News of
the discovery hns spread far and wide,'
and from sunrise to sunset pianos are
playing and hens are cackling. Tho
cold storage egg has como to be re
gaided as n, thing ot the past in that
section of Springfield.
Mrs. Creamer has a nice flock of
hens. The trouble was they were not
good egg producers until she resorted
to the piano recital as an Inducement.
She had tried putting red pepper and
mustprd in their food, honing to de
lude them into the belief summer had
arrived and it was the duty of each
hen to lay at least one egg each day.
Thfy failed to respond. She noticed,
howevor. that the two or three liens
which were laying always flow up on
the window-sill when she played tho
pi"no and that shortly after she stop
ped they went off and laid. That caused
licr to try an experiment. She left
the window wide open and played for
hours. The result was that she got
six eggs more the first day. eight tho
next and fourteen the third day.

TOO MANY DOCTORS.
Pritchctt, of Carnegie Foundation,
Blames Low-Grade Schools.
Chicago. "The United States sup
ports too many physicians. While Eu
rope maintains the proporHon of ono
physiciau to every 1,500 inhabitants,
the United States has a physician for
every 568. This overproduction is due
to our too numerous low grade medical
schools and to the laxity of our laws
governing them," declared Henry S.
Pritchett, of Now York, president ot
the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad
vancement of Teaching, in an address
before the council on medical educa
tion of the American Medical Associa
tion. "We have In this country," he con
tinued, "about 150 medical schools, or
more thnn are to be found in the
whole of Europe. We have twice as
many physicians per 100,000 of popu
lation as Kngland, four times as many
ns Germany. Our low-grnde medical
schools sanctioned by our lax laws
are largely rotponslble."

explained, "one whoso heart warms at

Talking on the 'Phone. '
"Only about one person in every
ten knows how to properly use the
telephone," said a district manager of
one of the Philadelphia companies.
"Yes, sir. I'll stard by my guns on
that assertion; and I think I can
prove my point. Nine out of every ten
persons talk entirely too loud over the
telephone. They ' actually shout and
make so much noise that they drown
out all semblance of clearness. Then
they can't hear, and the first thing you
know there is a complaint about poor
connection and faulty service. Tho
correct way to talk over the telephone,
Is to talk as you do in ordinary con
versation, or even a trifle lower. Peo
ple can't seem to realize that the
telephone will carry a whisper even.
No, they must talk lough enough to
be heard from Tenth and Chestnut
streets to Germantown, if those bo
the counected points. Just try it your
self. Try the low, well modulated
voice, and seo if you do not get in
finitely better service out of your tele
phone In the future."
Faith, ths Light of the Soul.
Faith is truly a light In the soul,
but it Is a light which only shines
upon duties, and not upon results or
events. It tells us what is now to bo
done, but It does not tell us what is to
follow, and accordingly it guides us
but a single step at a time, and when
we take that step under the guidance
of faith, we advance directly Into a
land of surrounding shadows and
d irkness. Like tho patriarch Abraham,
we go, not knowing whither we go,
but only that God I" with us. In man's
darkness, wo nevertheless walk and
live in God's light. A way of living
blessed and glorious, however mysteri
ous it may bo to human vision.

"It's mighty tough," says tho Phi

fellows throw rocks nt you, and then
to have the owner of tho quarry come

' TWO ENGLISH BATHTUBS
One In tht Kltehth Floor, the Other
Kept .In a Cloiet.
There is n certain bathtub Jsnown
more or loss to tho history of humor
,bk:h was so nicely adjusted to the
Bath that Shuts Up In Closet,
needs of Its owner that lie had on!?
to touch a button and It came rolling
out to the middlo of his room. Sjiich
convenience may not actually hav
hern achieved by the plumbers and
decorators who struggle so hard to
supply comfort for those who can
pay for it, but the existence of this
trained tub was necessary to the
point of the story, which wound up
with tho sudden entry of the tub ""v
taining tho wifo of the owner, who
waH Just demonstrating its wonders
to a stranger. Tho story has an ele
ment of improbability in the supposi
tion that a tub with such intelligence
would have presented its owner's wife
to the gaze of his visitors even for the
sake of exhibiting its own qualities
No such feats ought to be expected
from the kind of bathtubs shown in
the picture. They aro humbler ad
juncts of the homo and intended to
fill a useful purpose. They are meant
for the homes of English workingmeu,
to economize Space.
The sunken bath in the Fami'v
kit hen is intended for small houses
of the kind built now in the London
suburbs for workiugnien. It has been
found most useful in two familv
hcuses and saves space needed for a
bathroom. It is not nearly so danger
onnly as it looks here.
The cover, which in the picture is
up, completely hides the tub when it
Is not in use, so there Is mucli less
chance in reality than there seems to
be from the picture for the cook to
Sunken Bath In Kitchen Floor,
fall in while she is preparing dinner.
Nor would there be any likelihood ot
sparks from the stove falling on the
skin of the careless bather, since the
fuel is gas. The desirnbillty of taking
a bath In the kitchen is of course
merely a matter of personal taste.
More desirable and also intended
for tho bedrooms of houses built for
workingmen is the other bathtub.
That shuts up in such fashion as to
require very little space. It is attach
ed to a spring which raises it ns soon
as it is emptied of a certain weight
of water, so there is no danger of Its
suddenly shutting up with the bather
inside of it.
When not in uso it is caught at tho
top, and when the door of the closet
in which It stands is closed the tub
remains in an upright position. The
wator and waste pipe are attached to
the bottom end of the tub on which it
stands in the closot. Once the door
is closed the tub Is as much out of
the way as if It were in a mom re
served exclusively for It.
