found in one of the houses of Pompeii,
buried, as you know, only seventy years
after the Christian era. During the
Middle Ages twas made for windows
in all European countries, and was es-
pecially applied to churches whose
stained or painted glass windows were
among their choicest art treasures.
think, my boy, if you were to study the
subject little, and learn how really
valuable this common substance has
been and still is, you would not again
say only glass
'''There is one use of which you have
not told us, mother-telescopes, micro
scopes, and all that"
Yes, optical glasses; natural science
would still be in its babyhood but for
these, and, strangely enough, they were
discovered almost as soon as glass was.
A lens, which is piece of glass thicker
IN the middle than at the edges, was
found among the ruins of Nineveh; the
Emperor Chan, of China, 1888 years
before Christ, is said to have observed
the planets through a glass. Specta-
Giles were invented by Salvino d. Arma-
to in Florence before 1917 Cornelius
Drebbel invented the microscope in
1872, and Keppler the telescope in 1571."
i should like to see glass made
Yes; some time l will take both YOU
and Alice to a glass-house; the process
is very interesting. First the inoredi-
ents are pulverized very finely and
baked. Then they are melted together,
and the melted mass is either poured
into molds and pressed into shape,
which is an entirely American inven-
| ton, or blown into bubbles and then
shaped by the skill and taste of the
workmen, and after this every article
| must be d'1ned}ed-that is, gradually
cooled to prevent their flying to pieces
when anything touches them. Some
times the glass is made very tough by
plunging it into hot oil while it is still
warm, in which case it may be dropped
on stone floor without receiving any
injury. There are six kinds of glass
made, each requiring a peculiar fabri-
cation and peculiar building and fur
mace. These are bottle, crown, sheet
window, plate, flint and colored glasses.
You would be interested, also, think,
in the process of cutting or engraving
glass. Formerly this could only be
done with diamond or very hard steel
point, and under the pressure some of
the very finest and heaviest plates
would develop a crack or flaw which
rendered them useless; but recently Il
process has been discovered, called q
sand-blast, by which fine, sharp sands
blown steadily against the glass; the
curiosity is that piece of lace fastened
on the surface will not be injured, while
its pattern will be distinctly cut upon
the smooth, polished surface. IN. E.

THE Ne WS-CARRIER.

= How do you know WHO told you so?"
These words you often hear;
And then it often happens, too,
This answer meets your ear:
" A little bird has told the tale,
And far it spreads o Ter hill and dale"
Now let us see if this can be.
How can the birds find out so we'll
And give the news to all? .
Or, if they knew, why need they tell?
And which among the feathered tribe
Must We to keep our secrets bride?
The busy crow? AS all well know,
He sometimes breaks the laws;
Weshall regret it, when he does,
For he will give us cause.
Though slyest of the feathered tribe,
The crow would scorn to need bride;
Not robin red; he holds his head
With such an honest air,
And whistles bravely at his work,
But has no time to spare.
" mind my own concerns" says he;
They re most important, all may see;'
Nor birdie blue. so leal and true;
He never needs the weather,
But in the latest winter days r.
His fellows flock together; .'a
And then, indeed glad news they bring
Of early buds and blossoming.
Might not each one beneath the sun
vi all une race reply.
If questioned who should wear the cap:
20 no. it is not II"
For there are none who, every day,
Are buster at work than they.
They chatter, too as others do;
But what it is about,
The wisest sage in all the earth
Might puzzle TO make out.
But L IN as sure as l can be-
They never talk of you or me.
We hear They say"-oh, every day!
Are they the birds, wonder
That have such power with words to part
The dearest friends asunder?
Or must we search the wide world through
To bring the culprits full in view?
The birds, we see though wild and free.
Have something else to do;
And, reader don't you think the same
Might well be said of you? b.,
1t really seems to be a shame
That they should always bear the blame.

mortgage your property for me. Do
the best you can. When you can col
lect and pay me, do it. If the whole
world was like you IL would be better
world than it is.
She was crying, actually crying; and
felt-no matter how / felt; but it was
time to hasten back or miss my train.
Perhaps said so, but this is what She
said
'God bless you! You haven't
changed one bit since you were a boy.
And why can all the world be like you,
John Middleton"
Then there was perfect torrent of
tears. Who in the world was this little
woman who knew me in my boyhood?
You may laugh OF frown, as you
please; | don't care. It's nobody's
business if | did take that little woman
IN my arms and kiss her when found
that she and had been playmates and
schoolmates. She was the widow of
that Chicago man, too, and that money
had kept on deposit so long was hers.
1t took so long to say all we wanted
to say, to ask about all the living and
dead, that the train went on without its
passenger.
And it is singular how many tender
recolleetions return when discussing
the scenes Of youth. 1t was not Mrs.
Edwards and Mr.. Middleton, but it was
GeTgie for her name was George
Warrington, oddly enough) and Jack,
precisely as if we were twelve instead
of fIrty.
ssssIJf course shall tell the whole story,
and if people laugh, why let them.
When | came back to New York /
brought Georgia with me as Mrs Mid
dleton. And that is all there is about
it.--N Y. Mercury
