UNBREAKABLE GLASS.

FROM AOuuOu Auncb.
It is now about year since 4 general
description of NJ. de In Bastie's" meth
cd of toughening or tempering glass,
and the special charact eristics of the
material reduced, appeared in our col.
umns. At that time and for some
months subsequently, the process was
carried OH at NJ. de Ia B;stie's works
at POnt d'Ain, near Lyons, upon a
small scale only. Having thoroughly
demonstrated that the process could
be carried out, practically and CONNER.
cially, with both success and profit,
glass works were purchased in which
the production of glass articles for do.
mestic use had hitherto been carried
on upon the ordinary principles of
manufacture. These works were re.
arranged to suit the new process of
tempering, ard some two months were
consumed in experiments which were
made with the view of simplifying the
methods of manipulation us much as
possible, and Of reducing the invention
to an ordinary manufacturing process,
This NJ. de la Bastie has succeeded in
doing, and the works were fairly start
in February last.

five for other kinds of glass. Their
are also some smaller furnaces for tenn

Hurricane

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 15th.-Reports
have been received of a terrible hurri-
cane, which passed over Scott county
on Sunday afternoon. 1t was three
quarters of a mile wide, and in the di-
rection it reached was from Southeast
to Northwest till it spent its fury at
Newton. Through the region sur
rounding the latter place 1t gained
violence and played wonderful freaks,
raising cabins high in the air, showing
off roofs, tearing immense trees up by
the roots, but so far as heard FROM no
lives are lost.

HOW OHINFoO OEURNS FIGURES.

Wong Chinfoo, the highly educated
Chinanan, rather ''got away with a
young Professor at Greoncastle on Fri
day evening. During the course of the
evening Mr.. Wong stated that among
The Chinese mathematiciaHs were hired
at 81 per week, and were not as good as
the most ordinary men here. They do
this work by machinery, as it were, and
it is the dirty work to the Empire. When
Mr.. Wong first came to this country to
enter college, he was told that it would
be necessary to study mathematics two
years he at once told them he knew
mathematics better than those who were
to teach him in this particular branch.
Illustrative of this, Wong, in his address
at Browns Hall, offered to foot up sew
eral columns of figures. For conven-
ience, his manager, Mr.. Hawkins, was
to name the figures, but the young Pro
fessor of Mathematics of Asbury, who
was present, thoughthe saw flaw there,
and at once came TO his feet. He said ::
ssWill you, sir, allow me to give you
the figures ?''
s'Certainly, sir I will be glad to have
you do so" was NIr. Wong's courteous
answer.
"Now, then, sir" began TIE Professor,

beyond the tens OF thousands, but Civ
ing him at least thirty sums to add
When they were all on paper Mr.. Wong
asked:

"That's ALL replied the Professor.
''Get ready to add.'
Mr.. Wong stood smiling, when the
Professor had Strengthened himself up
and said: ''Now begin" He quietly
remarked every well, sir here is my
amount" This before the nstonished
Professor had time to get half way up
the first column.
"But you're not through already ?"
remarked the Professor.
"Here is the footing Of my figures, y

'fPlease read that again, sir" asked
the Professor
He did SO, and the astonished Profess
sor was forced to admit that he was
right. The Professor was astonishod,
and was forced to admit that Mr.. Wong
did know something about mathematics.
The mandarin stated that he was not an
extraordinary mathematician as COM
pared with some of the educated Chi
neSe.

great difficulty, and owing to lack of air,
with some danger to the workmen. In
it were found six large caldrons, four
broken and two complete. This passage,
the use of which has not been ascertain

FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.
How Much the Governmet has Made by
It's Issue.

In the report of the Treasurer of the
United States appears curious fact
that the Government has made several
millions of dollars by the loss and de-
struction of fractional currency. The
first issue of fractional currency in 1868
amounted to $50, 1872, 456. Scarcely a
note of this is now seen, except those
which are preserved as curiosities. For
several years among the millions of dol
lars that came into the Treasury for
REDEMPTION, there have been none of
these notes yet 81: 294, S54.92 is still
outstanding, and Is supposed by the
Treasurer to have been destroyed while
in circulation. Hence the government
is the gamer by about one fifth of the
whole amount issued.
Of the second issue of fractional cur
rency, which amounted to S12 978, 130,
and which is seldom seen in circulation
nowadays, 90, lit, ,076 % is still outatand-
ing. Of the third issue, which amount
ed to S23, $50, 765. f9, there is now unre-
deemed 3,067, 144.6 SO.
Upon the latter issues of fractional
currency and of legal tender notes, the
gain of the government by non-presen-
tation for redemption will not be so
great in proportion to the amount Of the
issues.
But that this gain in the fractional
currency alone cannot be less than &c.,
900, 900 of the S34, 5O0,O0 outstanding
at the close OF the year would seem to
be certain; and he statement may be
that it will exceed 81, O61, T22, %, which
is three per cent, Of the total issue of
fractional currency, 1868, ,724, 079.45.
The total issue Of legal tender notes
to June 80, 1876, has been 81 ,294, ,328,-
701. It is not expected that tue gain
from the non-return of these notes will
be Of so great percentage as in the case
of fractional currency, and no estimate
is ventured; but it will be seen that a
loss in the hands Of the people of per
cent. of the total issues would give a
gain to the governt of 80, 944.2 267.

Amos Eelfrich, aged thirteen, son of
Iacharias Helfrich, who resides on the
road leading from Yost's store to the

He took with him q basket and the

through the meadow, but could not.
A number OF The neighbors then search

they returned home Unsuccessful, and
the noighborhood became alarmed
They kept up the search with lanterns
until after midnight, when they again
returned home. All day Sunday they
continued in the search, but until Mon
day morning at o'clock was the pecu

the boy were ascer!ained. Two charcoal
burners named Rudolph were going

They picked It up and looked up into

branches, and as they cast their eyes up
higher, to their great astonishment they
wedged in between the limbs the body

strong enough to tell his fearful adven-

about thirty feet after some chicken
grapes Oh Saturday afternoon about three
O'Clock. The limb was slippery and he
lost his foothold and fell toward the
ground In his descent he was caught
in the fork Of the branches, where he
was SO tightly wedged that he could not
