Taking! the two glasses, be repeated his daugh- ter's experiment, and soon discovered that she had chanced to hold the lenses apart at the proper focus, thus pr0< ducing the wonderful effect that she observed. His quick wit saw in this a; wonderful discovery, and he at once set: about making use of his new know- ledge of lenses. Ere long he had fasha ioned a tube of pastelmard. in which he set the glasses at their proper focus and so the telescope was invented. A Nuremberg glassâ€"cutter happened to let some aquarorns fall upon his spectacles and noticed that the glass was corroded and softened where the acid had touched it. Taking the hint, he made a liquid, then drew some figures upon apiece of glass covered them with varnish, applied his corrod~ lng fluid, and cut away the glass round his drawing. When he removed the varnish, the figures appeared raised up~ on a dark ground: and etching upon glass was added to_ the ornamental arts.
