Iceland Ponies,

In order to travel with speed and COM
fort, each horseman requires couple of
ponies, which are saddled and ridden
alternately, while the loose horses and
those carrying the baggage are driven for
ward In little herd, with shouts and
cracking Of whips. Spurs are unknown,
anu an lcelandic whip il certainly u most
humane invention, with thin leather
strap for thong, and devoid altogether OF
lash; the ponies despise it utterly, and
although 1t makes a noise, 1t evidently does
not hurt. Accustomed from his birth to
find his way over his wild mountain pas
lures, the Iceland pony is 50 clever and
sure-footed as to give his rider a sense OF
security, even In the most awkward places,
and II left to himself he will never make
mistake. lie is rs cautious US an cle-
phant, snuffing at every suspicious place,
and testing it with his fore foot; ii dis
satisfied, nothing will induce him to pro-
ceed, and he turns aside to search for u
safer way, beng particularly on his guard
when crossing water upon u bridge of snow,
or when In the neighborhood of boiling
springs. Even where the ground was
toughest have not hesitated to throw the
bride on the pony's neck and open knife
IN order to scrape certain cartridges too
large for the rifle which carried under nv
arm. The gallant little beast picks his way
rapidly over all obtacles, like the sturdy
Stulka, who can knit and stare at the pass :
Ing stranger, while she strides along over
''Hraun," as if she were on shaven lawn.
Boggy ground Is to q horseman always a
very troublesome obstacle; but 80 remarka
bly, dry was the country in June, 1878,
that bogs could be avoided, and we were u
good deal annoyed by dust and drifting
sand. The ponies got nothing to eat, ex-
cept the scanty herbage by the wayslde,
and were much disposed to linger where's
ever they could find few blades of grass.
10 any such temptation the poor anima-
were, however, not often exposed, and they
logged along with great perseverance,,
making up for little food with much drink
at the numerous streams which they had to
ford. Iceland ponies are generally of
light color, dun, pale chestnut, white or
piebald; under rough exterior they hide
many good qualities, and are as well
adapted for the peculiar country which
they fnhabit as Is the noblest thorough bred
of Arabia. A vicious animal is almost un-
known, and a dealer in ponies, who has
passed more of them through his han ds
than anybody else in the business assured
Inc that he has not encountered more than
one. The endurance of the little nags is
astonishing; they will keep up a steady joy
for hours together aud will travel On through
the long summer days of Northern latltudes
with no other sustenance than may be
picked up during al hours midday halt.

American GLASS Making.

The first glass factory in America was
erected in 1900 near Jamestown, Va, and
tho second followedin the same colony
twelve years later. In 1850 some acres Of
ground were granted to glassn,en in Salem,
Mass, probably the first year of tho indus
try which was prosecuted there for many
years. The first glass factory in Pcnnsyl-
vania was built near Philadelphia in 1888.
UNDER tho direction of VIM, Penn. but it
did not provo successful. The first glass
factory west of the Alleghenies was set up
by Albert Gallatin and his associates in
1785, at New Geneva, on tho Monongahela
River. A!small factory was established on
tho Ohio River. near Pittsburg, in 1890,
and another In 1876. The earlier attempt
failed, the latter was quite successful. In
1910 there were twenty-five glass factories
In the country, with an annual product
valued at $l,047,0J0. There are now
about five times as many factories, produc-
ing eight times as much glass. According
to the returns received under the recent
census, our flint glass factories turn out
'2l0, 664 tons of table and other glassware;
and the window-gl works produce o.
844, 40. The total value of the product is
nearly $45, 750, 900.

however, and the troops surrounded the
house and burned 1t to the ground. Who
fired the shot has never been discovered.
The troops encamped at the foot of Capitol
Hill. where the Botanical Gardens are now
located. That night they fired the Capitol
and Executive Mansion. The LIGHT of tho
contlagratisn was seen, 1t Is said, as far, as
Baltimore, forty miles distant Only the
walls of the buildings were left standing.
On the following morning the British set
fire to the Treasury, Iwo-story BRICK
building of modest dimensions, which stood
where tho present Treasury building Is
located on the corner of Fifteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, The War and
Navy Department buildings, which were
built where the present imposing structure,
now nearly completed, stands, on the
corner of Seventeenth street, and Pennsy-
lvania avenue, were fired. The affairs
OF State and the postal business of the
young republic were conducted from offices
III private residences. They were not
harmed after firing the War and Navy De-
partments. Gen. Ross marched his troops
to the cornor of Fifteenth and f street and
drew them up before building occupied
by the Bank of the Metropolis, now the
National Metropolitan Bank. This lnstitu.
tion had loaned the Government $500, 600,
and the plate from which It's notes were
printed bore the words "a depository Of
the Government" Some of these notes
had fallen into the possession of the Brit
ish, and Gen. Ross believed 1t to he a Gov
ernment bank. lie was preparcdto fire 1t,
when citizen informed him that 1t was a
private institution, and had no connection
with the Government beyond making the
loan above referred to. "Besides," said
this honesI citizen, as the story goes, s1t
you burn this property you will destroy the
sole support Of Il poor Irish widow, coun-
try woman of yours.
''She must be poor Irish widow to own
such q valuable property in Washington"
said Gen. Ross savagely, but he did not
destroy the building.
The British remained in camp here about
forty eight hours, and then lett the city by
the same route they had entered 1t. No
demonstrations were made against them,
but they appeared to fear the return OF the
American troops in large numbers and ami
mated with more courage than they had
shown before. j.
