the cylinder have become everywhere Of
uniform thickness, and the proper length
has been attained, the end farthest from
the pipe, being closed, has hemisphere
cal form. This end is now subjected to
quick heat at the mouth Of the furnace,
and burst open by streng blast through
the pipe; the pipe being now rotated, the
part thus burst open is expanded by CEN
trifugal force to the size of the cooler parts
Of the cylinder. The cylinder is now laid
in frame and the pipe detached. The
end from which the pipe has been sepa-
rated has now the form Of the upper part
of druggists bottle. This portion has,
therefore, to be removed. To effect this,
the workman takes from the surface, with
small iron rods, small wad ofplaStic glass,
and separating the two rods, draws out
the glass into red-hot plastic cord, which
he winds about the cylinder Just where 1t
begins to contract towards the neck The
cylinder being thus heated entirely about,
cracks off in the direction of the heated
line upon being touched with cold water.
The cylinder has now to be opened. This
is accomplished by placing bar of hot
iron longitudinally along the cylinder,
when sudden cooling cracks 1t from end
to end. It is now passed to the annealing
furnace and fattening kiln. The construe-
tion of this furnace is peculiar. 1t con-
sists Of vault in which revolYes an iron
frame supporting platforms, called
tlattening stones. Openings are placed
around this platform, at which workmen
stand. A cylinder Of glass is laid in at
the frat opening, the cracked side up
ward, and allowed to heat until it becomes
plastic. AS soon as this takes place, the
workman, by means of winch, revolves
the platform and puts in q second cylin-
der The partial revolution brings the
heated cylinder opposite the next open
ing, where workman spreads it out with
an instrument consisting of block of
wood upon an iron handle. By this time
another cylinder is ready, and the plat
forms again revolvs. The first cylinder
no longer cylinder, but plGte-is now
operated upon by third workman, who
smooths it out with a tool similar to the
one above described. The glass Is then
passed through several chambers having
gradually diminishing temperatures until
it is sufficiently annealed, 1t is then cut
into panes, and pat ked for sale.
No verbal description can give an idea
of the facility with which the operations
go forward, or the skill required to ac-
complish such results by the simple meth
DDS employed.
The labor is severe, and commands
wages equal, if not superior, to any man
ual labor performed. Some of the cylin.
ders blown are very large, being from
four to five feet in length, and from twelve
to fourteen inches in diameter. The pro.
cess is one of the most interesting tc wit.
ness in the whole range of mechanical
operations, and will well repay some ex.
ira trouble and time to those who may
never have seen it performed, should
chance bring them in the vicinity of a
glass manufactory,-Soisntif American.

A RESIDENT Of 0Sha-ya Canada. has
invented an improved elocipede, which,
it is claimed, far suTpasses all others in
speed. The gearing is soarranged that
with one motion Of tn Q foot the front
wheel will make tworev- olutions; another
brake will throw the ma -chhery into gear,
so that the foot will move twice to one
revolution of the wheel-adapted for
ascending hills; third adaptation will
throw the cranks off the wheel, and thus
the velocipede will roll down the hill
without the feet moving; fourth ar

When put to its full speed 1t can be driven

Splitting a Kuotty Stick.

OAc day there wasa great humping in
my cellar, and if you had gone down
there you would have seen that one of the
windows had been opened and that sticks
of wood, some square, some round, some
three-cornered, big and little, knotty and
clear. all sawn the right len 9Th for the
stove, were pouringin though that win
dow; and every stick as 1t came down
seemed to say, "Stand clear, or you'll get
hurt" So I stood clear, and let the
workers have it all their own way.
Isuppose the one who sent it thought
that splitting it wouldhe good exercise for
the minister, and hethought so too. So /
went at it. But pretty soon big stick
turned up, full 1of hard knots on
every side. | fancied that one of these
knots looked like an eye, and that it kept
watching me as / picked upone stick after
another, and left it ituntzouched- In fact, 1t
almost seemed to soy, @'Split little sticks,
if you have mind, but | dare you to
touch me"
1t was great annoyance to see it there
every day but the qu estiOn was how to
get rid of it. It WAS too good to be
thrown away, and 1t was too big to &C
into the stove. My0nL y course was to try
to split it. So one day when ] felt strong
in my bones, laiditO ora the bl ock with the
eye up. Then puthng all my strength
into my arms, sent m y ok fair across the
eye, and through itweDt.
Tony surprise, The oldst stick split more
easily than many others before it. AnC
then could not help 1hinking how true
this is allthrough life. How often do meI
and boys fancy that some duty is very
hard, and work all around it, and fear tc
touch it, hanging back z1ndl they can do 81
no longer, and then uzskca good effort
and find that it is real easy, and that they
have had all their troublesome fears TO
nothing 8gait.5.-.B.t
BOYS, rememoer that knotty stick

MY LITTLE ONES.
hYR. SCOTT

By II. SCOTT.
NEVER noise my little ones make,
Pattering through the hall
Never bit Of trouble they take, 3f
4 Always within my call
NV little ones are, and oh | so good,
Gathered about my knee.
Harry would be man, If he could,
Though he is only three,
Benny, my eldest, my tirst.born,
Still sitting on my lap,
Though he now dreams of the college hour,
And hOists his ready cap.
These are my little ones, ah SO sweetl
And yet one more
He never has tried his little feet,
Never beyond the door.
Nestled close in my heart arc all
My quiet little ones;
Ever within my whispered call,
My nOiseless little sons. .....
They play at ball on the oakeR hoor,
Many a time and oft;
Or steal behind through the open door
To kiss me soft.
My little ones in memory live,
All soquiet aud still;
Never bit Of trouble they give,
They come and go at will.
Come and go about my home
So soft and still:
In my brain my little ones roam,
My heart they fll.
All about in happy places
Are my little ones:
But none may see the angel faces
OF my little sons.
