TOUGHENED GLAss.-The new process for
making tough or unbreakable glass, has
been greatly improved since its first an.
nOuncement, and the material, in the form
of lamp chimneys, tumblers, etc, is now Of
fered in commercial quantities. The success
attending the experiments already made
have inspired further research in the same
field, and number of new processes, of
more or less value, are reported. In the
original process, glassware raised to a red or
melting heat, is plunged into a bath of oily
and fatty matter, and the result is to give the
glass an entirely new character. Instead of
breaking with a star-like fracture under
slight blow, il resists serious blows, and be-
sides Il certain amount of elasticity above
that It had before, displays a toughness and
cohesion many times in excess of its ordina-
ry character If broken at all it disiDte-
CRATES and flies into great number of mi

TEE MUSICAL. SEASON


Of 1ss6-'7 will have fairly opened tomorrow
evening with the initial performance OF Italian
opera BY the Strakosch troupe. The opening Is
IN marked contrast with that of last season,
which was fnauguratcd by the Thomas Orches-
ira There was no legitimate opera until Janu-
ary, when Kellogg came, and that was all the
opera We had, for the musical variety perform
ances BY the Oates, Aimee, and Mathews
tzoupes OF that season can hardly be called
opera from the legitimate standpoint. This
year, however, we are likely to hear operatic
works that will be warmly welcomed after their
long absence, and to greet singers who have not
been heard here for many year, as well as
some who have never sung here at all.
Mr.. strakosch has made sharp move
for success by taking time By the
forelock and getting into this Ell Dorado Of i'm
presarios before any Of his competitors, and has
also shown genuine strategy in opening with a
favorite old opera that has not been heard here
since Chicago was laid in dust and ashes, and
will therefore have the charm Of comparative

HOW BEN DEBAR WAS TREATED.
The wel1-known St. Louis actor, Mr.. Ben DeBar,
appeared in Brooklyn on Monday night in his

a comparative stranger in the East, and on this
his first appearance was entitled to some con-
but behold the result. At the
eleventh hour it Was announced that the actor
who was to take the part Of the Prince was too
i'll to APPEAR and it was decided that Mr.. Seymour.
who was to represent Poins, should read {oook in
handy the part OF the Prince, while another actor
should IN the same way read the part Of Poins. |
With these drawbacks there were othera, and it
.urned out that Mr.. DeBar had to act as stage
manager, prompter and all. beside trying to do |
himself jnstice as the Fat knight. He failed only
Of these drunkards, and it he goes through
