The whole tool Is covered with thin coating
Of pitch, which Is pressed while still warm
into the proper shape. II is then covered
with q layer Of water and the polishing rouge,

The operations we have thus far described
require no extraordinary skill on the part Of
the workman. With q little patience and
practice, almost any one can make himself q
better glass than any known before the In
vention Of the achromatic telescope. But
such glass would by no means serve the
purposeg OF astronomy now, and the chances
Of glass Of any siso turning out exactly

ties have 70 DO overcome, to ind what tho do
fects OF the glass arc, and where they arc sit
uated, and then to remove them without In
Producing others. To find the defects, the
glasses are put together, set up on edge, fac
Ing luminous point at distance equal to
ten or fifteen times tho focal length. The
image Of the point formed In the locus Of the
glass Is then examined with an eye-picce Of
high power, or the eye Is placed exactly In
the focus, aud the aspect OF the glass noted
By these means the skilled opticlap eau Judge
where the curves Of the glass are too great
and where too small.
The glasses arc now taken back To the tool
and the polishing process Is recommended,
only pressing upon those parts Of the glass
where 1t has to DO ground away. The glass
10 then tried again, and again returned 70 the
polishcr. Tho defects In small glass can be
thus polished away In few days, but as the
slze Is increased the process becomes more
and more tedious, and the difficulties Of judg-
ing what the defects are, and Of handling the
glass on tho polisher so as to diminish them,
Increase enormously. Il lain this tentative pro-
cess OF gradually working ont every defect OF
figure, and even in compensating defects In
the uniformity of the glass itself by a suitable
change Of figure, that the Clarks have eX-
hibited their unrlvaled skill. So tedious did
they expect the process to be In the case Of
the great telescope that they asked three
years for Its completion. But tho glass was
worked into shape with unexpected rapidity.

mensed In January, 1872. In the month OF
June following the glass was In such good

Execution of Foster.

William Foster, who murdered Avery
ID. Putnam with a car hook in May,
1871, in New York, was hung on Friday
last at IL minutes past 8 o'clock in the
morning. For the last day of his life
he said very little, and late on the night
before his execution inquired of the
Warden if there was any dispatch evil
IDENTIFY still hoping for something favora-
BILE in his case. He parted from his wife
the evening previous which was very
painful, and in which the poor woman
tainted several times. AS she was taken 10
the coach the wife, true to her womanly
instincts, aroused sufficiently to beg the
duputy to grant her husband every pos
sible indulgence, as it is his last night
on earth" and then was assisted into the
coach, into whose remotest corner she
sank sobbing and convulsed. On his re-
turn to the doomed mans cell, the depu-
ty found the husband anxiously await
ing his return. The eager inquiry of
the eyes was supplemented with the
question, How does she bear it ?" The
deputy answered that she had wept bit
terly, and repeated her last womanly re-
quest to him, at which Foster turned
away with grasp of the deputy's hand,
and his fearless eyes at last looking soft
with sympathy for one whose sorrow was
possibly greater than his ogn.
At II minutes past 9 he was led to
the scaffold, where after brief religious
exercises by Rev. DIR. Tying, the fatal
spring was touched by the sheriff, and
Foster died without struggle. The
body was allowed to hang little over
20 minutes and then taken down. About
100 persons were present, who then slow
ly made their exit from the scene.

A VERITABLE INDIA RUBBER MAN,
The Gardner (Me.) Journal gives the
following particulars of the wonderful
escape OF Mr.. Joseph Glazier, of that
city, from instant death. He was exam.
ming paper mill in Topsham and while
so engaged the skirt of his coat caught
in the roll. He Immediately bethought
himself to throw off bis coat. In doing
so his hand was drawn into the rolls.
III let it pull my arm out, he thought
to himself; but as the merciless machine
pulled at the stout muscle and tendons,
Mr.. Glazier found that his arm would
not pull off without breaking his neck.
just think of such situation for man
to be in Coolly submitting to his fate,
he turned his head over on one side to
save his nose and through the space of
about four inches he was drawn to his
hips. He says as the rolls passed over
his head it made a noise like grinding
coffee in mill, and that is the last he
remembers. The blood spirited from
his eyes, ears and mouth SO as TO 90 on
to the dryer, twelve feet distant. He was
taken up for dead, but, strange to saw.
he is now about the streets. The space he
went through was about four inches, we
are told, but the upper roll could rise a
little by what give there was to an eighty
inch felt. The Journal naturally re-
marks that it hardly seems possible that
man could be ground through such a
small space and alive.
