The French invention of toughened
glass is in some respects less satisfactory
than was at first supposed. 1t is true that
it does not easily break, but it also cannot
| be cut. Several correspondents of the
| Comptes Rendus report that on attempting
to cut it with wheel drill or file, they
found that it almost invariably burst after
the manner of Rupert's drop. A disc of
| the toughened glass could be drilled at its
center without breaking, but it breaks ii
pierced at any other point. s

other. The aldermanic committe on
| streets has recommended the change, and
| one of the historical names of the metropo-
lis will probably be wiped out despite the
sentimental protests of the newspapers.

acknowledgement that the law recognizes nc
parts Of days, and the impeachment reso'
lutions having been adopted ON the after
noon of the 2d, the same principle would
seem to settle it that he was an officer oi
the government, and therefore impeachable
at the time he was actually impeached.
