About Glass.

The elements which enter into the com
position Of the material Of glass are slick
or flint, soda, potash, lime, clay or its me-
talic basis, and minimum Of red lead, the
matter which colors house painters prim-
ing. They are mixed together in the cru
chile Of the glass house, and then combined
or melted by the aid of fire. The temper
ature Tin all cases) at which fusion is at
tanned, varies with the kind of glass and
the ingredients of which it is composed.
Window-glass is made of flint, soda, and
lime bottle-glass, Of flint and iron lin the
shape of ferruginOus sand), soda, lime and
clay and so on for other kinds of glass.
The greater the number of bases used in
the composition, the more easily they are
melted into glass. Hence, for cheap glass
es, such as bottle-glass, the manufacturer
mixes as many different elements as posi-
bic, in order to obtain his result at the
least possible expenditure of fuel. Never
theless, as often happens, what is gained in
one way is lost in another for the greater
the fusibiity Of the glass, the more it is
liable to decomposition by atmospheric and
other influences.
This decomposition is evidenced by curl
Gus and even beautiful phenomena. Old
window glass, and especially stable window
glass, manifests incipient decay by the in
descent tints which cover its surface. Bot
ties that have long been buried in the
earth or submerged in bonds become most
striking and ornamental specimens, from
gorgeous hues which they display their
transparency is gone, and they are coated
with small scales shining with metallic lus-
tire. By exposure to great heat and grad
ual cooling, glass also becomes unvitrifed
and opaque, presenting great resemblance
To crOckery, and named, after its discover
er, Reumurs porcelain. The opacity re.
suits from the formation of microscopic
crystals of one of the earthly silicates which
constitute glass, in consequence of volatili.
zation Of the alkaline Ingredient. Such
porcelain is in request for decorative pur.
poses nor is this the only way in which
decomposition of the original compound
has been turned to account.
Soluble glass 10 obtained by melting in

quartz reduced 10 fine powder, ten part
of carbonate Of potash, and one part o.

Some waggish students Of Yale College,
few years since, were RECALLING themselves
one evening at the Tontine, when nm old
farmer from the country entered the room
(taking it for the bar-rOoml and enquired
if he could obtain lodging there The
young chaps immediately answered in the
affirmative, inviting him TO have glass Of
punch.
The old man, who was q shrewd Yankee,
saw at once that he was to be made the butt
Of their jests, but, quietly taking off his hat
and telling a worthless little dog TO lie
under the chair, he took a glass Of the
profered beverage. The students anxious
ly inquired after the old mans wife and
children, and the farmer with affected sim
plicity gave them the whole pedigree,
with numerous anecdotes about his farm,
etc.
"Do you belong to the church r. asked
one.
"Yes, the Lord be praised, and 50 did
my father before me"
"Well, suppose you would not tell .
lie, said the student.
No, not for the world, added the old
farmer.
"Now, what will you take for that
dog e - pointing at the farmers cur,
which was not worth his weight in Jersey
mud.
81 would not take twenty dollars for
that dog"
Twenty dollars he is not worth twenty
cents.
"Well, / assure you would not take
twenty dollars for him."
"Come, my friend, said the student,
who, with his companions, was bent on
having some fun with the old man. Now,
you will not tell lie for the world let me
see if you will not do it for twenty dol
lars. will give you twenty dollars for
your dog"
Il will not take it, replied the old far
mer.
"You will noti here, let us zee If this viii
not tempt you to tell lie" added the stu.
dent, producing small bag Of half dollars,
from which he counted in small Piles on thG
table, where the farmer sAt with his hat in
his hand apparently very little concerned
about the matter.
There, added the student, 'there arV
twenty dollars all in silver ] will give you
that for the dog"
The old farmer quietly raised his hat Il
the edge of the table, and then, ~ quick a
thought, scrSped all the money in excep'

Geological researches are constantly
bringing TO light fossil remains of mon
strous animals that once roamed over the
pleasant places now in the occupancy Of civ
ilized man
1t ia smAxing that bones should have re-
sisted the wonderful physical revolutions
that the earth has undergone since they
were in existence. Being sealed up beyond
the reachOf atmosphericinfuence has saved
them.
Organic remnants Of colossal reptiles are
most striking. Next to them the pterO-
dactyles, or flying dragons. Recently, at
the West, the osseous framework Of a
species Of bat has been found, the spread
Of whose membraneous wings was twenty
feet far exceeding those of the condor
the largest bird known to nsturalists Of this
period.
Such discoveries testify unmistakably 70
extraordinary changes of our world since
they lived. A whales skeleton on the
rocks of the Green Mountains Of Vermont
an elephants bones also, and tusk ex-
cavated in the side Of the Sierra Nevada
peak, by the side Of which a common ele-
phant tooth is mere needle, speak in
effable language of the habitsble antiquity
Of this globe.
Living trees in California declare by con
centric circles that the world has been qui-
escent since they sprang from q seed,
about four thousand years ago. Yet it is
scientifically demOnstrablet that fossil giants,
whose bones are the marvels Of the age,
we're imprisoned cycles upon cycles before
the MaripOsa trees which produced the
cones from which present groves sprang,
had begun to grow.
What agency destroyed these pri1neval
monsters so universally, apparently at
the same eventful epoch Was the earth
polarity suddenly changed Who has
the moral scientific courage to handle the
problem!

A UNION OF CENTRAL AMERICAN STATES.
In Central America, the States Of Costa
Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and Salvador
have formed kind of United States,
agreeing to maintain q republican form of
government, to prohibit slavery forever, to
settle all disputes by mediation, to recog-
nize the right of asylum to emigrants and
political exiles from all parts of the world
and to establish national telegraphs, high
ways, and other means for promoting COM
merce. Nicaragua has not joined the con-
federacy as yet, but is expected to do so.
1t is, indeed, confederscy not union Of
States for no National Government has
been provided for. But a confederacy is a
step in the right direction.
THERE was fearful scene at an execu-
ton in Fentress county, Tenn, on the 9TH
instant. The weight Of the doomed man
snapped the rope, an he fell to the ground.
The Sheriff and his guard seized him, put
. rope around his neck, threw it over the
gallows, and drew him up. He hung thus
a couple Of minutes, when, attempting 10
draw him higher, the rope again broke.
Once more he was seized and hoisted, the
blood running from the mouth and nose,
and his shrOud nearly torn of. This time
the rope proved sufficient and the man was
strangled to death.
