WHAT noble service do we get from these convex and concave pieces of glass—more precious in value than the rarest and most radiant gems! They correct our erring vision and restore our dimming sight. They open up fresh worlds of observation and lead us into strange and unknown paths of knowledge. Through their crystal disks we look up into the eternal fields of light and count the shining flowers of the sky; we gaze down into the tiniest particles of matter and find new forms of life.
    By virtue of mere glass Vision is exalted and its boundaries immeasurably extended. By means of mere glass we may hope to penetrate the veiled mysterious of Nature and search out the secret sources of Life.
