A few nights ago Southern Min

Messrs. Savage and Anderson,
two engineers who have been snow
bound with their engines since the
great storm The first week in Sep
TENDER. Both were IN the drifts on
the western end and stayed by their
engines until all the fuel abord their
engines was exhausted They
then walked sixty miles across the
country on the tracks, over the
drifts, following their route by the
telegraph poles, the tops of which
in some instances, We're merely seen,
in which cases they could readily
let their fingers run along the wires.
They reached Fairmont and took a
train in from there. Both are con
siderably shattered from the long
privations, and Mr.. Savage is quite
snow blind, distinguishing objects
withgreat difficulty. They report six
dead engines on the west end, and
drifts between Fulda and Flandreau
that are incredible in vastness. It
must be many weeks before opera.

Preserving Lamp Chimneys from
Cracking.

The following recipe for keeping
lamp chimneys from cracking is ia:
ken from the Diamond, Ieipsic
journal devoted to the glass interest.
Place your tumblers, chimneys or
vessels, which yon desire to keep
from cracking, in a pot filled with
cold water; add little cooking salt,
allow the mixture to boil we'll over
9 fire, and then cool slowly. Glass
treated in this way is said not to
crack even if exposed to very sud-
den changes Of temperature. Chin.
neys are said to become very durable
by this process, which may also be
extended to crockery, stoneware,
porcelain, etc. The process is SIM
ply one Of annealing, and the slower
the process, especially the cooling
portion of it, the more effective will
be the work.
