The most primitive form of wheel was the simple roller made from a tree trunk, afterward differen- tiated into & pair of fixed wheels by. trimming down the middle portion of the cylinder in such a manner as to leave the cemter of the trunk as.& rotating axle, The next step was the substitution of two shorter sectioas of tree trunks attached to a rotating axle; flat, round ccylinders of stone doubtless were used as well, and later a considerable ad- yancement was marked by the substi- tution of the fixed axle on which the cylinders rotated. The cart wheel similar to that which may today be seen in the remote dis- tricts of Mexico, is doubtless the next noteworthy advance, and from these primitive steps we find Aristotle and other Greek philosophers interesting themaglver in these important advance- mepts 8nd earnestly agitating the minds of the mechanics of that period, n the effort to stimulate even greater ‘improvements, USE MOVIES TO TEST EYES if Plotures That Are Properly Fooused Hurt, It 1s Always Well to \ Oonsult an Ocullst.

The nor- mal eye accommodates itself readily to the flitting films of high grade, while the subnormal eye makes its complaint very apparent after a steady focusing upon pictures. “Persons with no ‘defect of sight mechanism should be able to enjoy at the very least four sittings of from one and one-half to two hours’ dura- tion each per week without discom- fort,” says Doctor Balm. “No perma- nent harm has come or can come to [ from well-focused motion pic tures.” { Barrler to 8ight of Stars, ‘A theory gaining scientific accept- ance 18 that in the void of interstellar space there 1s a substance which vells from our view the stars beyond a cer- tain limit of distance. Consisting pre- sumably of microscopic and widely scattered particles, it nevertheless makes a barrier to vision when dis- . tances are sufficlently great. In other words, it we were far enongh away from the sun there would be enough of these particles between ourselves and that luminary to render 1t invisible to us. . Dr. O. G, Abbott of the Smithsonian {nstitution, said that the estimated density of this “substance” is one tril- Honth of that of the air we breathe.
