miles.
It was also resolved that the President and

THE CHARADEs ENTERTAINMENTS.
The charades and tableaux, presented in the

in aid Of the cemetery fund, were very enjoy
able entertainments, and quite creditable to
the young Misses and gentlemen who perform
ed their respective parts The lady characters
were personated by Misses under 10, and the
general verdict was that their rendition was
in every respect worthy Of actors of maturer
years. Four charades were presented, VIZ:
Mad-Cap, Purse Proud, -Valentine-Day and
Manage, interspersed with number OF pleas
ing tableaux. The Missfs to whom praise is
due for their efforts to please the public and at
the same time aid in worthy object, are

"A reviewer in Nature calls attention to
one of the greatest novelties in the construc'

Glass sleepers, introduced by Mr.. Lindsay
Buckhill and Mr.. w. Siemens, of Dresden,
have been tried with such satisfaction that it
is now proposed to make broad longitudinal
sleepers of glass, having groove in the up
per surface, and, so combining in themselves
the functions of both sleepers and rails, do
away with the necessity for separate iron rails,
with their fastenings, joints and other compli-
cations. In paper by DIR. School, full
abstract of which is printed in the recently
published "Transanctions of the Institution
of Civil Engineers" England, it is shown that
by properly tempering glass with oil, this
very brittle substance "can be made, mass
for mass, stronger than steel, and practically
unbreakable" Now, if this is borne out in
extensive practical tests, the manufacture of
glass for railroad and other purposes will soon
reach dimensions which will be startling
