Process of Manufacturing Plate Glass.
Beautiful plate glass Is now made in large
quantities in England, for glazing buildings.
In its manufacture, the requisite weight of
fused glass is taken from the furnace upon
the point of the blower, and is then blown
into spherical form. 1t is then reheated in
the furnace and swung above the head and
below the feet of the workmen until it as.
sumes the form of a cylinder.
In performing this operation, the work.
man stands upon a stage below the mouth of
the furnace, with a pit or well beneath his
feet, six or seven feet in depth. He swings
and balances the molten metal until it is
expanded 10 the proper length. The least
miscalculation of his powers of swinging it,
or a very small deviation from the proper
curve, would destroy the whole.
The next stage is to separate, with strings
, of red-hot glass, the cylinder from the blow
ing iron, and also cut off its closed end; the
tubes are then allowed to stand on end
prior to being annealed like so many Chin
ney pots. The tube is then cut down the
middle, and being placed in a heated room,
called the fiattening kiln, it soon opens out
and being pressed down by the workmen, it
quickly becomes hattened out on slab of
stone.
1t il then quickly smoothed with wooden
implement, and passed to the cool end of the
kiln by degrees. 1t is then tilted on its
edge, and the manufacture is complete. If
the manufacturer merely wishes to produce
a glass shade, the cylinder is preserved,
being detached from the blowing tube. But
in order TO cut it evenly, simple but inge-
nious machine is employed, consisting of a
frame, in which the cylinder is supported
vertically or horizontally, while the diamond
set in a little frame is made to act against the
surface so as to cut it.

SENsIBlJITY OF THE HUMAN EAR.-The
sensibility of the human ear for the pitch of
musical notes has been recently illustrated,
Parisian tuning fork, observed that he heard
differently with his two ears, the notes beard
with his right ear being somewhat higher
than that heard with his left. On examin-
ing his musical friends, he has not found one
even among part musicians, whose ears are
precisely alike in the estimation of the pitch
of musical tones. He conjectures that the
reason for this difference in hearing is, prob
ably, that the external passage of the ear is
the sounds that enter it, aud that this Vibra-
ton mOdifies the pitch Of the entering sound
according TO the form of the individual ear.

NAUTICAL DESCRIPTION OF DANCE -
Havn't had any fun with the land. lubbers
till Thursday night at dance. When l
arrived in the cabin l found them under
headWay of a Spanish dance. Took my
station in line with Sue Tucker, fell back
and filed, then shot ahead two fathoms,
hauled up on the starboard tack to let
another craft pass, then came stern on
another sail, spoke her and then bore round
against the sun, and fell in with another sail
in full chase, passed twenty sail on the same
course, and when half way across the other
shore dropped astern, fell back, couldn't eil,
so let 60 anchor and hauled up for repairs.

A SABBATH-scHooL IN CoNsTANTISoPLE.--
A Sabbath school has recently been opened
in one of the suburbs of Constantinople, in
connection with native Protestant Church,
at which young and old attend. A class OF
men, some fifty in number, receive instruc-
ton in Turkish; there is also large class of
women, and smaller classes of children, to
menian and Greek. About fifteen minutes
of the hour allotted TO the exercises are taken
up in singing airs from the Revival Melodies,
the hymns being translations. Those stir
ring tunes are very popular among the ma
tives, and the energy with which they bring
out some of the choruses, almost equals that
displayed at a Methodist Camp-meeting.

Barbaric Etiquette-C and Dinner in
the Fiji Islands.

inc FIJI lBtandS.
We were soon, says a correspondent, at
Navua lin the Island of 0valan), town
some three miles up the river, and the resi-
dence of Kuruduaqua, the great chief of this
district. A messenger having been dis
patched from our last halting-place to an
nounce our visit, we found the chieftain
seated in his large house, surrounded by
councillors and attendants, awaiting his
guests. AS this chief aud his territory are
but little known to the whites, our arrival
created great sensation. The ceremony of
presentation is novel. On entering the
house, Wise, our interpreter and guide, as
already schooled, addressed the chief to the
effect that the Consul had come to introduce
chief from England, who had been sent to
explore the country, and that we purposed
doing ourselves the honor of being his guests
for several days. After few minutes ST.
lence, the chief orator replied in the name of
Kuruduaqua, that the stranger chief aad the
Consul were welcome, for their presence con-
ferred distinguished honor on Navua; and
the neighboring tribes should know the fact
as soon as the great drum could sound forth
its rolling peals.
AS he concluded, all the men in the house
clapped their hands, and exclaimed "mdnd,
mana, mana P At the same instant, the
great drum, or sill, was beaten Justify, and
our presence in Navua was heralded through
out the district. Our loquacious interpreter
here began to describe a huge iron pot that
was near the door, and to tell how wickedly
it had been appropriated to boil the carcasse5
of slaughtered men instead of beche-de- mer.
A rather unpleasant feeling stole over US,
and we thought of friends and homes far
away. Our peace of mind, however, was
soon restored when the chief proposed we
should join him in bowl of yayond, bev-
erage prepared from the root of the South
Sea pepper, by being masticated by young
men, tasting like soapsuds, jalap snd magne-
sia. A baked pig and some halt dozen bas-
kets of ysms were next brought in by women
headed by the chiefs favorite wife, all crawl.
ing on their hands and knees. Hungry as
we were, the story of the big pot made us
revolt from this frugal meal. But Kurudua.
qua is not now cannibal, and summoning
courage, and ascertaining that it was a real
pig we beheld before us, we dined.

Mysterious AssassinatIons IAnalOgous to
the Late u aiIKaY Murder In France.


Some months back, a strange case, having
some analogy to the murder of NJ. Poinsot, oc-
CURED on the. Paris Aulhausen Railway. A
gentleman was found lying senseless on the
line between Zillisheim and nlfurth, near
Belfort, and he turned out TO be Russian
military doctor, named Heppi. Whether he
attempted suicide, or whether an attempt
was made to murder him, or whether when
half asleep, he had stepped out of the carriage
| in the belief that the train had reached a
station, has never been satisfactorily ascer-
tanned, and as he could not speak French, no
explanation was got from him.
On the one hand, the injuries he had re-
ceived were such as might have been Oc-
casioned by his jumping or falling from the
carriage; and, on the other hand, in the We
hicle, one Of the cushions, stained with blood
was turned upside down, and broken knife
was found beneath II. But, whatever were
the facts of the case, it was said that bag,
in which were a number of Russian bank
notes and Russian and French coin, was
stolen from the gentleman. In spite of all
Enquiries made, the affair continued envel-
oped in mystery.
A few days back, however, an event oc.
CURED which seems likely to throw light on
it. The genddTmeS of Forette, in the Haut-
Rhin, arrested one Jud, a deserter from the
Third Squadron of the Baggage-train, who
is under sentence oftwenty years hard labor
for some crime, and on searching the man,
thirteen Russian bank-notes, the value of
which was not known by the officers, were
found; also, some Russian coin, and upward
of 1850 in French money; also a sporting
license in the name of Jud, of Paris.
This man was placed in the lookup and
chained; but in the night he succeeded in
removing his fetters. Two turnkeys, hear
ing noise, went to his cell, but he knocked
them both down, and, rushing out, fastened
the door on them. Another turnkey seized
him, but after desperate struggle he broke
from him, got away, and has not since been
found. To this strange story, the Gazette
aes lTtbunGu@ adds, that in addition to the
Russian notes and money, the man was
in possession of papers belonging to DIR.
Heppi.
As a singular pendant to the melancholy
affair of NJ Poinsot the Piedmoutese Jour
nails mention that in a railway carriage, on
the line from Turin to Genoa, man was
| few days ago found dead from pistol-shot,
but whether fred by himself or by muir
| derer is not known. None of the passengers
| by the train had heardthe report.
