HYDRoPHoBlA.- The treatment oisthis fear
full disease in inducing profuse perspiration
has been recommended on the strength of q re-
ported recovery after an attempt at suicide by
suffocation with thu vapor of water The
victim, who considered his case helpless, and
sought an easy exit in this way, finding him
self cured instead of killed. A second case Is
reported in the following extract from an
English paper 1t is almost too sensational
to entitle it to credence, especially as no name
or locality is given to the Occurrences:
"a Frenchman who Was bitten by a mad
dog and with hydrophobia, suffered SO that his
friends resolved to suffooate him. Four of
them extended a feather bed ON the floor.
threw the unhappy man upon 1t, and covered
him with second bed, on which they placed
themselves to press upon and another him.
During this time his wife was held by main
force in the adjoining room by some other re-
lations The unhappy woman remained at
first apparently stupefed, but when fright
full silence had succeeded the tumult, she seem.
to break loose from her apathy; the full horr
ror of the scene rushed upon her mind, and.
with shrek Of dispair, she rushed into the
chamber of death. With superhuman force
she threw aside the meu who were holding her
husband down, and pulled away the bed which
covered him. Life had almost departed, but
respiration was soon reoastablished, and at
last he opened his eyes. The efforts he had
made had covered him with &c. profnss q per-
SEPARATION that it ran in streams from the whole
Of his body, and the disease was broken up.
IL is now believed that hydrophoba can be
thus sweated out of the system.

NEW METHOD OF WORKING GLASS


Chambers Edinburgh Journal announces
the discovery of the fact that glass may be
Turned in q lathe. No special tools even are
needed; any amateur turner who bias operated
on either OF the metals may chuck piece of
glass on bic lathe, aud turn it with The same
tools, and in the same way as he would
piece of steel, only taking care to keep the
chips from his eyes. This strange discovery
was made, almost accidentally, IL the early
part of 1860, by one of our most celebrated
mechanical engineers, might have been pat
entei, hutlthe Inventor conteAted himself with
simply putting it on record. and generously
presented it, to the nation. The consequence
was that no one cared or thought anythiog
about i, and the idea has been suffered to be
nearly Jbarisn though capable of b7ing turned
to great account. Letany amateur mechanic
make the experiment, and he will be sur
pfised at the ease with which this seemingly
intractable material may be cut and fashioned
according to his will
