After all the labor and money that hive
been expended in futile efforts to discover
some process whereby glass cln be made
mal!eablc, ii is almost startling to be in
formed that the secret has been found at
last, and yet there seems little reason to
doubt the brief statement Of the fact now
in circulation that Il Frrnchman ntmed De
Ia Bastic, who has spent nearly six years in
experimenting, in connection With a learned
chemist has solved the problem which has
occupied the attention Of the scientific
mind i'll all ages. The gla.'s produced by
him is said to be as mullcnhIc as copper or
iron, and 50 capable OF resisting the action
of heat that it can he used rs frying pans
and all manner of kitchen utensils, as well
as for lamp chimncys, without risk of fric-
turc No particulars that can in any way
throw light upon the process Of manufac-
turc have thus far been given to the world ),
nor are any likely to be given until Mr..
Bastie and those associated with him have
secured something of the golden reward
which awaits the discovery Of so valuable
an achievement of art. Tberus, of Rome,
we are told, ordered the execution Of the
magician who produced before him glass
vase which when bent by a fall, could be
Strengthened by 4 hammer. But the world,
is wiser to-day, and if Mr.. Bastie has roally
revived the lost art Of The unfortunate Ro-
man exhibitor, it will not only richly re-
pay him for his Labor but will also hold
him one of the greatest ben,factors of the
race.

WHEN THE rENE>YLVANIA OIL
SPRINGS WE'RE FIRST DISCOVERED
conceived

A full century ago the oXist ,nco of oil
springs in Westcrn Pennsylvania WAS Il
published and well established fact. In
the Massachusetts Maga.inc. published in
1889, We find the following in. relation to
them: "In the northern part of Pcnnsyl-
vunia there is IL crc9k called Oil Creek
which ompties into the Allegheny River,
1t issues from a spring on the top of which
floats IN oil. similar to that callcl b !rba-
does tar, and from which one may gather
several gallons :, d:y. The troops sent to
guard tue western posts halted at Il is
spring, collected some of the oil. and batho'
their .int5 with it. This gave them great
relief from the rheumatis!n with which
they were alllictcd. The water, of w,ich
the troops drank freely. operated ns gen
lie purge.
"Thero IS still earlier evidence of the ex-
istcncc of the oil-sprinSs thtn this. 1t is
found in an old book published in l772. en-
titled, Travels i'll North America by Potter
Kahn. On !. map in this volume the exact
location Of the oil-springs is given
We take this from an exchange but this
is till far behind. As "a. .ly us 1929, .lmost
! century and q half before IL ,lm's book
appeared, Franciscan missionary. Joseph
de Ia Roche d Allion. who crossed the Nj
lgara River into what is now New York
Stlte wrote 4 letter, in which ho mentions
tho oil springs, and gives the Indian name
Of the place, which he explained to mean.
There is plenty there His letter was
printed in SaSard "Histolre du Canada"
in 1922. and subsequently in LoClorI.

AN OLD POACEs.E.

An amusing anecdotc has just become
known. A short time since u man who had
formerly belonged to tho voluntcor corps of
which the Duke of Norfolk is captain
(Ninth Sussex). wrote an implorng letter
to him, asking assistance from difficulties
which had recently bcfailcn him. and stat
ing the petitioners intention to enlist for a
soldier. His grace very naturally supposed
that some Of the ordinary misfortunes in
life had bcfalien the applicant, and kindly
romitte.l him check for g5 to holp him
over his difficulty. A day or two aftor, the
Dukes agent, in talking with his grace on
the business matters Df the estate, remark
I'd that he had been reluctantly compelled
to prosco.te notorious poacher who had
beon found in the Arundel Park preserves
firing at the phcasants. "Who is he ?" in
quired the duke. The agent replied that
his name WAS Sharp. Indeed" replied
hs grace, that is the same man | had a
letter from the other day saying ho WIS in
trouble, and sent him five pounds 1t
was soon seen that the man S trouble" was
brought about through poaching in tho
dukes preserves, and thut while the agent
was prosecuting the man the duke was find
ing him the money to pay the fine. The
man has since bolted from Arundel.

SCAE IN SnEEr.-Thc following is from
the transactions Of the Highland Agricul
tural Society of Scotland:
1t is clearly ascertained by the scientific
men that the scab in sheep. like the itch
IN the human being. is connected with
and propagatcd by certain minute insects
belonging to the class of acari, which in
habit the plmples or pustules. But the
question naturally arslcs, how came it first
INTO existence? This problem is very diff
flcult OF solution, and puzzles the most en-
lnent OF Psychologists. But, us have al
ready said, have never known it to break
ont spontaneously among a flock of sheep,
properly managed, during thirty Years ex-
perlence as shepherd in pastoral dis
tricts. Various and conflicting opinions
exist rs to what extent the disease is in
fectious. Some affirm that it requires
sheep to come in contact with the disease
betole it can be communicated, while
others maintain that the disease is propa-
lated by the mere travelling on the road,
such It's 4 public drove road, from the
large markets and fairs. |, however. dc
not think the disease is SO catching rs the
latter advocates affirm. For example, !

The cure of scab lies in the destruction

JOKE THAT COST HIM HIS LIFE.-M
L. Bowden, a school teacher at St. james,
La, filled Il pocket with advertising imita-
tions of grecnbacks. and when somebody
at the village store offered to bet on some
thing. he drew outa handful saying. Make
it $500 and III take you" The most of
the bystarders saw the character of the
supposed money and laughed at the joke.
Not so Karl Ahlberg, an ignorant Swedc,
who regarded the bills as genuine and the
amount rs Il fortune. Ahlbcrg enticed
Bowdcn into stable, murdered him with
a shovel, secured the worthless roll of pa
per, buried the body and fed.
