[MR] Was: Eyeglasses! Now: Magnifying Glasses

[ldmolly at md.metrocast.net]

Mistress Elspet made me a set of magnifying glasses: round glass balls that when filled with water can be used separately or together to magnify an object. Supposedly they can also be used together to form a sort of early period telescope, but I haven't had a LOT of success with that (my own eyes seem to do a better job, smile). Folks seem to love playing with them & they were a big hit with the kids at our last Boy Scout demo.
