THE French papers speak Of the
new Bastie glass as an article Of On
doubted value, capable Of any impor-
tant application. Il is tough as well
as hard, resisting the action Of FIRE.
and can be made specially serviceabls
for water conduits and q variety Of
culinary utensils, instead Of the enam-
el or the loaded tin now SO much en-
ployed in certain departments Of the
hardware trade. An account is pub
lished Of some additional experiments
made 10 Paris to test the value Of the
article, the results appearing to have
been remarkably satisfactory. Thus
plates Of the material were thrown on
tiled floor height of three meters,
that is little more than nine feet,
without injury; they were then hurled
with violence about the room and
against the walls and held over glass
jets, weight of 100 grams being al
SO dropped on them from height Of
three metres, but all without any ef.
feet. AS is well known the resisting
temper of this new kind Of glass is
submitted when hot from the furnace.
In these experiments some of the spec.
linens showed more resisting power
than others which yielded to the blows
which they received only broken in
the spots where they were hit, and
there was remarkable absence Of
continuous cracks-whcrevcr the ham
mer took effect the glass lost cohesion
and transparency and was reduced to
granulous particles.

heart-breaking agony Of the circle

be, for he asks his fathers hand as If
to gain strength in the mortal strug-

ther, sister or brother in still con-
scious affection. just before expiring
he calls tho loved ones. and says with
quivering lips kiss me- showing
that the love which he has ever borne
in his heart is still fresh and warm.
