BROAD TIRES TO WHERLs.-The con-
dition of the roads the past winter has
done more to commend broad tire
wheels than all the arguments that have
ever been uttered. The soft roads have
been so cut up by Ia inch wagon tires,
and these have been sunk so deeply In
the mud that in ONE places travel has
been impossible for weeks at a time.
Now 1t should be evident that a broad
wheel, that will not sink in the ground,
is of much easier draft than a narrow
one that cuts in two or three inches.
The difference In draft of a narrow or a
broad wheel upon the hardest, smooth
est road is unappreciable, and 1t is a
matter of doubt if 1t is in favor of the
one or the other. Theoretically, there
may be a difference to a small extent In
favor of the narrow tire, but as our
roads are far from being hard or level,
the difference in draft will be decidedly
In favor of broad tire. A load of man
ure can be drawn across plowed ground
In a broad tired wagon, by a team that
could not move it in n with narrow
tires, and the softer the ground the
more apparent will be the difference in
favor of broad wheels. 1t is to be hoped
that the manufacturers Of wagons will
make the experiment Of Offering wheels
with broad tires; we believe they will
soon become very popular.

Glass for Optical Appdrdtus.-The glass
produced as the Saint GObain manu-.
factories, for optical purposes, has long
enjoyed a wide celebrity. In an
account given of its method of produc-
ton, it appears that it is ground on
horizontal tables, securely fastened to
the tops of wrought iron vertical
spindles, which receive motion from
the main shafting in various ways.
The surfaces of these tables, are divided
out, like the face plate of a lathe, to
receive the different sizes of Carriers"
or supports Of cast iron, which are
bolted to them, and are arranged to hold
the lenses or prisms to be ground.
Plaster of Paris is then laid on the
carriers in bands, the latter being re-
duced to the exact size by turning the
table around under a gauge secured to
the framing of the machine. The glass
is laid on these strips, and secured in
place by means Of pitch, care being
taken III the larger sizes, which are
ground in segments, to place a thick
ness of pitch between each joint, so that
glass shall not touch glass.

10 TAKE DENTS OUT OF FURNITURE
If the dent is not too deep 1t may be re-
moved In the following manner: Wet
the part with water; then take five or
six folds of brown paper, well soaked,
and lay upon the dented place; and
upon this hold a hot 1at-ir0n till all
the moisture is evaporated. Should
this not entirely remove the dent, re-
peat the process once or twice. 1t will
require but one or two applications to
raise the dented spot level with the
surface. Or, If the dent be very small,
merely soak it with warm water, and
apply a red-hot poker very near the
surface; keep it constantly wet; and In
a few minutes the dent will disappear.
