The Origin q? the Omnibus.

The announcement of the death OF
Mr. John Pendleton, of Eccles, has led
to the republication of some facts about
that gentleman's father. who, in 1924
began to ply between Pendleton and
Manchester with ''sort OF hackney
COACH" which we are assured, was
"the progenitor of the omnibus" The
latter, we are told, mado its appearance
shortly after, In the shape of square
little boxes on Wheels" which held
eight or nine persons inside, and three
or four In front beside the driver.
But, unfortunately, authorities differ
on this weighty subject, some ascribing
the idea of the omnibus to no less
il il'ustrious person than Pascal, and
Its EMANCIPATION" to date SO early AS
1852 or thereabouts. And those who
are curious in the matter would prob.i-
bly, want to be informed precisely when
and where the omnibus was first
evolved out of the hackney coach.
Both vehicles might fairly, if unlatter-
ingly, be described as a 'box on
Wheels" and, as regards omnibuses
the questions would seem to be simply
"When did passengers enter the box
from behind instead of at the sides?"
and "When did the guard become
merged in the CONDUCTOR" For such,
when one comes to think of it, are the
details in which the new omnibus
differed most materially from the old
coach. In the mere form and object of
the two modes Of conveyance there was
not much to choose, and the inventor
of the omnibus cannot certainly lay
claim to any very remarkable original
ity. He improved on the hackney
coach, and that was all. 1t is notable,
by the way, that by doing away with
the conductor in some instances omni-
bus owners have gone back to one OF
the earliest features Of that vehicle.
There was time, it seems, when the
driver was his own conductor, jumping
down whenever a passenger alighted
and receiving his fare. If, however.
the omnibus dates back more than 300
years, 1t is rather surprising that the
average omnibus should still be SO suS-
ceptibie Of Improvement.

The Horse Was Sold.

A man was driving across the country
in Dakota when he came TO q house
with man hobbling around the yard
on a crutch. 4 fine-lOoking horse was
tied to post near by and the traveller
stopped and said:
''Is that horse for Salep'
"Well, now, tell you just how It's

my wife drives and I don't know as
she'd want ter part with it. It's very
gentle hoss, very gentle"

''That Jest hits that hoSs precisely,
partner, no easier boss to handle In the
country"
Never kicks, suppose?"
''Neyer knew him ter histe his foot
'cept ter walks"
''What Is it worth?"
That's Jest it-don't b'lieve | can
sell him-my wife would miss HIM so.
Tell you what I'll do. though. you give
me Sl75 fer that hoss and III try and
break in one of the colts fer her to

'em as gentle as he is, but seein' you

Making Plate Glass.

There Is a pIite or glass 66x54
inches, which Is the largest size made
in this country, remarked a prominent
glass merchant of this city to reporter
as he was engaged in experimenting
the unpacking of a large box.
1t was made in Pittsburg m3nufac.
tory with natural gas as fuel, and is
much superior to that made by coal.
since the sulphur even in the best and
purest coal blurs and coats the glass
with patches, while if smoke comes in
contact with it in the soft state per-
manent stain is caused. Besides, when
ccal fuel Is used the best of care cannot
prevent ashes, dust and solid PARTICLES
from the furnace falling on TO the
molten glass and making flaws.
"Gas fuel, however, has changed all
OF that, and has given Pitt,burg
great advantage, and glass can be made
so much letter and cheaper there that
all of the factories have found them
selves forced to go to Pittsburg or go
to pieces In short time America
can compete with French and German
plate glass, where manufactured gas is
used"
show IS this glass made?" asked the
newsman.
swell, the hardest and most interest
ing part is the blowing" was the
reply,
"The entire mass of molten material
must be blown into shape by the
breath. Messrs. Appert, of Clichy,
France, claim to have discovered pro-
fhlt will "a fvlaoo hlAtyir,nv hxr
the mouth unnecessary, and 1t is to
be hoped that they have, as the process
Is very painful, and the men after
few years become pale-faced, with their
cheeks hanging limp IN folds. and some
cases have been known, where their
cheeks have worn SO thin that they act
ually cracked"
''What are the materials used to
make the glass2n was the nextQuestion
OF fhe reporter.
Zone hundred parts of sand, thirty
pats Of lime, forty parts OF aikafi.
and some pulverized charcoal are put
IN a fire-brick pct, which is set in a
furnace heated to an intense heat by
gas and are brought to a molten
state. A workman then plunscs
long wrought iron tube with wooden
handle and mouth-pIece into the
white-hot mass, and by alternately
cooling and rolling it finally has
ball OF glass many pounds in weight
adhering to the end. He turns it
about until becomes pear-shaped, and
then hands 1t to the blower, who
blows gently into 1t, at the same time
constantly turning 1t, until it becomes
the shape Of a huge bottle. 1t takes
a very strong man TO do this, since
for plate of glass this Size the mol
ten material will weigh thirty pounds.
After 1t has been blown into the
right shape" the speaker went on,
"the end of the pipe is closed up,
and the air, exspanded by the heat,
breaks a small hole in the end of the
bottle, which the blower enlarges by
twisting his tube around and putting
his breath into 1t until at length the
bottle becomes cylinder. \ string
of red-hot glass drawn over the upper
part of the cylinder breaks it OFF
evenly, and it is then cracked open
by red-hot iron. Each
sides is heated, flattened out, tem-
pered and polished, and finally becomes
a great sheet of clear plate glass"

MFFLINTOWN JUNIATA COUNTY, WEDNESDAY,

is perhaps one reason why German
women age so quickly.
In England elderly ladies are often
laughed at behind their backs for dress
ing in too youthful manner. The
Germans go to the other extreme; no
sooner do they marry or reach the age
OF % than they think it necessary to
wear unbecoming bonnets, dark silk
dresses, old-fashioned mantles and TO
assume all the other signs of "a lady ad-
vaDcing in years,
German girls are always supposed
either not to play at all or to play well.
This IS very mistaken idea. They do
not, as rule, begin until IL or II
years of age; but almost every girl
learns then. Consequently they have
much lost time to make up for. Taken
as whole, the Germans play about as
well as the English, except, perhaps,
that their touch Is more exact and pre-
else, owing to the fact that they play
little else but classical music. Here
and there a Girl Will be found who
plays really very well, but 1t is the ex-
ceptlon rather than the rule.

Finding n Lost Screw.
s2eaking of chickens picking up and

Sceaking of chickens picking up and
swallowing diamonds, ''chipasn Of
gold and other bright bits Of stone and
medal, has reminded Judge, of this
city, of an experience with chicken at
sea-
In June, 1850, he made the trip from
Mazltlan to San Francisco on the
French bark Surprise. One day, when
about half way up the coast, the stew
ard had out the pinnacle lamp and was
engaged in cleaning and polishing that
bit of nautical apparatus. He had it
on the deck, had taken it all apart, and
had the debris, wreckage or whatever
you would call it when at sea, scattered
all about. The vessel was rolling
slightly, and as it rolled 1t caused a
brass screw about half an inch in
length to travel down the deck. Some
chickens were lettering about, and the
fash Of the screw caught the eye of an
old hen. She dashed at the bit of
brass and in a moment 1t was in her
crop.
The Judge saw the transaction, and
inwardly chuckled, as he knew there
would soon he Davy Jones to pay about
that screw. When the steward had
polished up the lamp and was putting
it together again he missed particular
and important screw. After searching
for the screw for some minutes in vain
the steward spoke of his loss to some Of
the sailors. They joined in the search,
but no screw could be found. Soon the
attention of the Captain was attracted
to the group of searchers, and the
steward was obliged to tell him of the
loss.
The skipper flew into rage at once,
and used much profane language in
connection with the frequent reference
he felt called upon to make to the
steward eyes. The poor steward WAS
on the point of taking short ride on
the toe of the Captains boot, when the
Judge thought it time to appear ON the
scene. He told the Captain that if he
wanted the screw it could be found
with but little trouble. He had only to
order one of the men to catch an old
black hen that he pointed out, cut off
her head, open her crop, and the screw
would be found.
At this the sailors gazed upon the
Judge as though they thought HIM some
practitioner Of the black art, and the
steward gave him an appealing look, as
much as to beg him not to join sides
with his prosecutor.
The Captain had the fowl caught at
once. Its head was cut off, its crop
opened, and out rolled the lost screw.
Sailors and all aboard were astounded,
and even the Captain changed color.
The face Of the steward showed a queer
mixture Of delight and awe.
After that bit of legerdemain the
steward could find nothing good enough
for the Judge, and when the wind failed
he heard hints among the sailors that
they might have ten-knOt breeze any
time they wanted it, provided certain
person aboard should see fit to give it
them.

silk Dresses of Former Days.

Yes" said the Old Denver mer-
chant, whom a reporter talked TO tie
other day, "a silk dress was a great
thing for woman when l was boy.
1t was what you fellows would
call an event in life nowadays.
When girl got silk dress We knew
she was either going to be married or
else had come suddenly into a fortune,
one Of the two. The first was more
likely to be the case, because you see
even in those days girls got husbands
oftener than they got fortunes. have
been in the dry goods business ever
since was boy, and we always knew
something was up when woman asked
to see 4 piece of silk. OF course, the
wives of the leading cltizenss in the
place always had silk dresses-that Is,
one apiece, generally made of black
silk, and religiously hung away In dark
closets, to be taken down not more than
twice or three times year, and then
only on state occasions.
"It is peculiar fact, but never
theless a true one. that women in the
remote villages, In the early days, seldom
wore their silk dresses except to church
on these Sundays when the sacrament
was administered. This sounds queer,
but it is a fact. Why they wore silk
on that day is a mystery, but presume
it was because their churches were SO
much more largely attended on such
occasions, and village people are seldom
required to dress except for religious
services. 1t used to seem a gala day
with me when my mother put on her
silk dress, and combed her soft, brown
hair down over her ears. l thought
she was the prettiest woman In the
world, and. am half inclined to think
now that l was right. l have seen
many silk dress wrapped In linen,
scented with lavender, laid away In
chest, and kept at long intervals with
out ever being exposed to the light of
day. 1t is very amusing to think how
rare silk dresses were In the early days
when compared with the fashions of to-
day. when every servant girl In the city
has one, and perhaps more"
"What were the varieties Of silk used
at that timer"
They were mostly taffetas, very
smoothly finished, and very fine and
soft In appearance. In colors we lad
the glace silks, many of which are still
used. They came largely in illumin.
ated colors. and were much affected by
brides, who always wore them with
white bcnnets and gloves,
