A Leipzig journal, devoted to the
glass interest, states that the cracking
Of lamp chimneys may DO prevented
by placing them in a pot filled with
colo. water, adding q little cooking salt,
and after tho mixture has been allowed
to boil we'll over Il fire, to have the arti-
cles cool slowly. Treated in this way,
glass will be found to resist cracking,
even if exposed to very sudden changes
of temperature, aud the chimneys very
durable by passing through such an
operation. Tho process is, in fact,
simply one of anncaling, and it results
/ that, the slower tho operation is carried
on, especially the cooling portion of it,
/. the more effective will it be.

PROF SMITH.

His LECTURES ON TIE OLD TESTAMENT.
The excitement which has been caused by
the suspension Of Prof. W. Robertson Smith
by tile General Assembly Of the Scotch Free
Church makes his views upon current relig-
ious, topics of unusual interest just now.
Twelve lectures IN Biblical criticism entitled
1.-THE Old Testament in the Jewish Curch,'
BY Prof. Smith, were recently published i'll
Edinburg and in them 4 great many con-
troycrted points are discussed. Of the cliarac-
ter and scope of the lectures the 4lfhcnfcuna
SAYS: ss1ntended for the instruction of the
laity rather than the clergy, they do not aim
at being scientific or learned; yet they may
do much to erlighten ministers and teach
ers i'll Scotla1lu-a class unduly welded
to traditional opinions The first six
lectures contain general discussions re-
specting the transmission Of the Oil IeSta-
ment among the Jews and the collection OF
its books into 4 canon: the last six deal with
the origin Of the three great dlvlslons,-the
Law, the Prophets, and the llagloSrapha.
The book gives 4 clear and fair account OF
these subjects. The narrative is interesting
and concise, the arguments are pertinent, Tie
conclusions honestly deduced- The writer
shows all extensive kllowlege OF the topics
discussed, the result Of wide reading and
considerable reflection. Ills competence for
the task is apparent, and lie ranges over the
whole field with firm tread, entlhclatlns
results i'll no feeble voice. Whi!e I,;t dls. lIS.

meutls the literary character Of the work,
