Glass Type.

The usefulness of toughened glass, says an
English exchange, bids fair to be greater and
more serious than was at first supposed. Some
experiments are reported to have been made in
France with view to showing whether this
substance can be pressed into the printer ser
vice and substituted for the metal composition
of which types are made. The metal does not
at first sight strike the observer as the best
that could be found. 1t is bright enough
when the letters first come from the foundry,
and before they have seen any service; but a
few days wear G ives them very much more
dingy appearance, and before they are finally
returned to the melting pot they have degener-
their bodies as well as battered in their faces.
The idea now is to discard these long proved
but unattractive servants and fill their
places with glittering types of glass. The ad-
vantages in point of cleanliness alone would, it
is alleged, be not insignificant. But the Patrie
points out that there are other and more solid
improvements involved in the new system.
The toughencd glass; which is not to be made
in quite the same way as that used for tumblers
and wine glasses, and need not, Of course, be
quite SO transparent, is naturally much harder
than the old metal, and can hardly be crushed
out of shape by those little accidents which SO
shorten the life and spoil the beauty Of the
only type we now employ. 1t is also capable
of being cast into more delicate shapes, so that
the difference, for instance, between the thin
and the thick strokes can be more clearly de-
fined. Finally, it is now found that the new
material can be cast in exactly the same moulds
as the old, and that therefore there need be no
expense incurred in altering the machines and
implements used in the manufacture of type.
If the Pats1e has been:well informed, the ex-
periments have been completely successful, and
the adaptability Of toughened glass to printing
and to numerous other purposes is likely ere
long to be fully established. r,;!t 49,.

Sin Chun's Dog.

Sin Chun nourished in his household
dog to which he was much attached. One
cay as Sin Chun was sleeping heavily in
thick the governor of the province,
who was out on hunting expedition,
Glanced to pass and ordered the grass of
the thicket to be fired in order to friqhten
from it whatever game it might hide.
The dog tugged at Sin Chun's clothing,
but could not arouse him; then running
to stream hard by plunged into it, and
returning to where his master rolled him.
self over and over, wetting the grass.
This performance he repeated several
times, till he had so saturated the ground
that his master was safe from the flames;
then, exhausted and cruelty burned he
laid down by his masters side and died.
Sin Chun, awakening, was not slow to
comprehend the danger to which he had
been exposed and the means by which it
had been averted. With many tears he
carried home the body Of the dog,
wrapped it in costly shroud and placed
it in handsome tomb, which the govern

Labor Troubles.

A demonstration of unemployed work
men on Boston Common on the 10th was par
ticipatcd in by some 1000 men,-who were ad-
dressed by Chamberlain and Abbot. They
afterwards marched to the city hall and pre-
sented list of resolutions to Mayor Pierce,
who replied that he had no authority to offer
employment, but the city council would do
what it could for them. At Lynn, Mass, on
the 10th, Mayor Bubier, who furnished steam
power to forty or fifty factories, stopped his
engines, and the factories had to suspend
operations. Bubier claims that the engines
required repairs. On the other hand most of
those factories did not gain in the crusade
against Crispins, and Bubier's action in stop
ping their motive power is regarded as
startagic movement to compel them to sus-
pend. He was hootcd by crowd in the
streets to-day, and latest accounts state that
he has started the engines again.

Lawrence, Kan, has made some statements in
regard to the laying down of his Office, and
the charges made against him by the. board of

take occasion to denounce the official publica-

sU1nARY OF THE GENERAL NEWS


The Mark Lane Express of the 18th,
reviewing the British corn trade the past week
says: The wheat plant is progressing favor
ably, and has, as far as can be ascertained,
sustained no injury from the recent heavy
rains. At the same time dry atmosphere
and some bright, cold weather would be very
acceptable to strengthen the Seeding plant,
But little progress has been made with thresh-

ofwheat marketed during the past week, farm.
ers' deliveries showing decrease of $4,000
quarters on those OF the corresponding time
last year. Much Of the supply of home grown
grain has also Deen in poor condition, and this
causes prices to be somewhat irregular. In
Mark Lane there has been very little business
done in English wheat, but in the provincial
markets the tone has been rather better, anda
moderate amount Of activity has prevailed.
The upward tendency in values for foreign
wheat has received temporary check, owing
to unusually heavy importations which reach
ed our shores last Monday, returns showing
the arrival Of over Ill 900 quarters, besides
large imports of American and Indian grain.
The calculations Of sellers have been some
what thrown out by arrivals of Russian wheat
ty way of Revel. Should the season continue
mild and Revel remain open, our winter sup
plies may show an unlocked for increase.
Having regard to the fact that Russia is turn
ing all her available produce into gold to en-
able her to carry on the war, apart from the
political considerations, the present range of
values for wheat appears to be safe one. As
far as can be seen, any material change either
way would be the result of the political influ-
ences. But even if peace is proclaimed and
the Black Sea ports set free, we could not cal
culate upon receiving supplies much before
April So taking all things together, it is
doubtful whether pacific turn in Eastern
affairs would materially affect prices. Itmust,
however, be confessed that this opinion scarce
ly obtains with millers. Prices are slightly in
buyers favor, although not quotably lower
and the few sales which have taken place have
been TO supply immediate requirements.
Maize off the coast sold more freely on the
spot. Mixed American eascd slightly, but a
revival in demand may occur at any mement,
rs the stock of sound corn in London is vely
short. Firmness characterizes the trade for
barley and oats with small arrivals at ports
Of CALL The floating cargo trade has ruled
dull for wheat, and rates have declined.
