Glass Eating.

The latest phenomenon is fellow in
Staunton, Va, who eats glass. II went
out. says the physician who describes it
"anl secured piece, about one-third Of
a broken pane, and brought in several
friends to witness the sight. He took
the glass aud deliberately bit out piece
about the size of silver halt-dolar, and
chewed it up with as much gusto as if it
had been piece of bread. swallowed it,,
taxing afterwards "a swallow Of water and
bread, he said TO Get the particles out of
his teeth. He would have eaten the whole
piece il ! had requested, as he has fire.
quontly eaten tumblers for 4 drink Of
whisky. lie said he would eat any kind
of glass except the cOlorol bottle glass
which had poison in it. He was first in
dueed to try the experiment about three
years ago, at the Cape Of Good Hope, by
= surgeon in tue British navy, who bet he
could eat all the glasses eighteen in mum
ber) at q dinner party, which he did, and
lie saw 10 reason why be could not do as
much, 50 be tried it by eating only three.
Since that time he has eaten gass for the
amusement Of others over thousand
times, with no disagreeabla effect The
oniy difference he sees IS, it gives him an
appetite"
