Spectacles were scarcely necessary in, the days before printing was introduced. Few books were written, and only the* monks and educated churchmen could, read. Poor sight was not considered a handicap by most of the population, who spent their lives tilling the soil and reaping the harvests. Roger Bacon is said liC> have been the first person to discover that writing could he magnified. H f |! placed a segment of a glass sphere plan* > side down on parchment. The exact dalle of the making of the first pair of spec - tacles is not known, but a portrait a f Cardinal Ugone, painted in 1352, depicts him wearing in front of his eyes a pnir of mounted lenses. When printing wqiß invented books became very numerous and cheap. There was naturally a gresnt demand for spectacles, and the trait 1c flourished rapidly during the sixteen! Ji century, especially in Southern Germai ty and Northern Italy, where the glaes-ma Icing industry was already _ well cstla flushed. In later years opticians set rup practice in many of tiic larger towns in Europe. There seems to be no indication of the exact date of the begiuni ng of the optical trade in England, but, in 1629 Charles I granted a charter to Lhc Spectacle Makers’ Guild. When he arrived in New York recently Professor Einstein was asked what he thought of the American girl. Einsii ein replied: “You think of a girl as a f >erpendicular biological phenomenon in sii ort skirts. How do you know that she is 1 not an oval mass of bent space being thiM vwn off like electrons from swiftly rotating nitholwatts, with all the speed of an idzal? ” The description left the reporter puzzled, and when he asked Einstein ijt he would mind repeating it, the profqssor replied: “I would.” The acreage of beet grown in England last year was 347,000; in 1925 it was 54,750. In England and Scotland '.flfiere are now 19 beet-sugar factories..
