GEw METHOD OF MAKING MIRRoRs.-The editor OF the
Pratsyle Advocate has been shown by Rev. L. L. HILL
the inventor of 'Hillotyping," method Of slverng
glass; which he considers Of great practical value in the
manufacture Of mirrors
" Mr. Hill took small glass, such daguerreans
for covering their pictures and in forty seconds il
transformed into perfect mirrorperfect in every
spect We kept eye upon it the whole time the pro-
fully explained and the result cannot be excel
led. Out of some three hundred experiments which Mr.
Hill has made he has failed in making perfect
mirror.
In his mode Of svering glass there is not particle
of the usual amalgam Of tnfol and quicksilver but it
is composed wholly pure and unaduterated silver The
discovery made while he experimenting on glass
with view Of adapting it to Heliochromy never dream
ing of its beautiful application to the manufacture of mir
rors She invention did not him an hours study
and he has already had liberal offers for the right to
nuacture together with the knowledge Of doing So The
expense Of manufacturing mirrors by this new and dura
bic methed will not think exceed half the cost Of
manufacturing the kind used besides they are
1cays perfect and no art Of man deface them without
reang them to pieces We hazard nothing in predict
ing that will create entire revolution in the art Of
making mirrors, and that in few years at most there
