You know there are thousands of people who require two pair of glasses one for reading and the other for long distance vision. For years oculists and opticians have been, working to secure a perfect pair of glasses that would give" the wearer the two visions necessary In one pair of glasses. Even Benjamin Franklin, who was an inveterate reader, required two pair of glasses one-for reading swa the other to distinguish objects at. a He put his keen intellect to.

work on this difficult problem and In 1760 invented the Franklin Bifocal lense, which were made by splitting the lenses of both aJr of glasses and combining the up per halves of -his distance glasses with he lower halves of his reading glasses in the oorame. These were known the "split bifocals" and. while an acquisition In convenience, they were annoying to the eyes because of the sharp line ot separation. The next distinct stage was the solid bifocal lense patented in 1839, These lenses were one piece of glass with the upper portion ground for distant vision and the lower portion for reading. They were defective because the marginal line between the two portions' of the different Tod distorted the light rays.

A later Invention consisted of cementing a small, thin lense on the lower portfon of the dlrfanoe lense nonstituting what 1 1s iffrown as "cemented bifocals. Those wer patented in 1886. These glasses, in addition to possessing the sharp lines of demarcation, collectea the dirt In the glasses where the lower lense was cemented on to the upper. They were also a 'disfigurement to the face. Now comes the Kryptoks, the latest Invention, having profited by all the previous mistakes that have been made by Inventors In the.

past, the Inventors of this lense have produced a perfect lense which gives absolute satisfaction and comfort. These lenses re made -of two pieces of glass, of different foci, fused together, that 'are to all Intents and appearances single, solid lenses, with no resting place for the dirt or dust and no more liability to breakage than the ordinary single focus eyeglass. They havl never fat'ed to give eminent satisfaction and for ail those who require a two-vision glass these lenses are the very acme tf optical perfection. There is no secret in the method of manufacture or fitting of Kryptoks, but the process Is of such a dlffloult that only the skilled tense maker that has had years of axperi-. ence fusing ft capable of turning curTJerf eflnenHest This Interesting process of fusing Kryptoks can be seen at the Chlnn-Beretta Optical Company and It Is an interesting sight, mail vore ss-tlm THE EVOLUTION IMPTOXS Gertrude Ports.
