GLASS FOR RAILRoADs.-A glass as hard
as n cast metal, and not more expensive
than castiron, has been produced by F.
Siemens, of Dresden. Experiments are
being made TO determine whether 1t can
be used for rails on railways. Specimens
of this hard glass have been found suitable
for mill-stones and railway sleepers. An
important advantage of the glass is its
! transparency, as flaws can be detected be-
fore it is put to practical use.

Transportation and Markets.

Cheap and rapid transportation is of the ut
most importance to those who are both producers
4 consumers. 1t cheapens all that he buys
and enhances the price of all he produces. The
"LANGFORD COLONY. IS most advantage
ously situated in this respect. It is between two
railroads that both connect with steamboats,
that run from the Sacramento and San Joaquin
points to the Golden Gate. This gives the cheap
est freight and passenger rates for the distance
on this Coast. The markets fer all kinds of pro-
ducts are good. The Canneries, Wineries and
Fruit Dealers take all the Fruit raised, athighly
remunerative prices. There is an unlimited
demand for all the Wine, Raisins, Figs, Prunes,
Green, Dried aud Canned Fruits that can be
grown. Dairy Products, Fowls, Eggs and Vege-
tables find aready sale. Every acre of this land
when in bearing Fruit Trees or Vines will net
800 per acre. For further particulars apply 10

HOW HE KNEW.

Farmer Smith Proves That He Knows All About a Swindling Dodge.
 A great man once wrote: After the sting of folly has made men wise, they find it hard to conceive that others can be as foolish as they have been." An amusing instance of this occurred re gently, at a country agricultural fair. There was man on the grounds wrapping ten and twenty-dollar bills in small packages of cleansing compound. The packages containing the bills were then thrown loosely into a box contain ing a number of packages of the com- pound alone. ''For only one dollar, gentlemen, the spectators were allowed to select six of the packages, with ''almost an absolute certainty, as the glib vender said, ''of drawing one or more of the packages containing the bills
 It really seemed an easy thing to pick out the valuable packages. The soap man did it easily. But, strangely enough, none of the bystanders could do it. One man spent five dollars, and drew forth nothing but thirty packages of the worthless soap.
 Walking moodily away, he met a neighbor, who accosted him thus:
 Hello, Johnsonl What makes you look so blue?"
 "Oh," replied the dejected Johnson, 'sI've lost five dollars in that plaguy soap mans scheme. | ''Well, we'll, said Neighbor Smith, ~xe had anything to do with humbug of that kind ."
 'I don't 'lieve it's humbug," said Mir. Johnson. '.I'm out of luck, that's all
 ''Bahr' was Smiths contemptuous retort. ..Tt's a glaring humbug clear through"
 .'How do you know it isp" asked Johnson.
 ''How do know? Why, man, any one with eyes in their heads ought to sec that How can man sell twenty-doi- lar bills for dollar?"
 ''Well, it looks fair enough" said Johnson, doggedly.
 .sOh, yes, " sneered Smith, and thea added, patronizingly. But don't you be deceived by looks, Friend Johnson. could have told you long ago that the man was fraud.
 ''How did you knowP' persisted John son.
 This seemed to mettle the erudite Mr. Smith, thoroughly, and he angrily and thoughtlessly cried out:
 ''Know, man, knowp How do I kfaot0 that he's scoundrel? Why, man, II-aint I lost five dollars on the : thieving trick myself?"
 To this might we'll be added Horace Greeley truthful remark: ''The gloom fest day in any mans career IS that wherein he fancies there is some easier way of getting dollar than by square ly earningit V Youth's QofrspG'ssoS,

How New York Boiler-Maker Lights
 His Fires By ClockwOrk.
 Coriolanus Hughes, of Ninth avenue, is boiler-maker. His business is lu- crative one, and for many years he has enjoyed monopoly among the boiler makers in the vicinity of his workshop. To a natural aptitude for inventing strange contrivances he adds the advan- tage of being thorough and skillful mechanic. He has often found it disagree able to get up and light his fire on a cold winters morning, and he has now invented machine which saves him the trouble. This consists of an ordinary metal clock, which can be wound up and set for any hour desired. If you want your fire lighted at five o'clock, you set the hand at that hour and place it before the grate. Prompt ly at five o'clock spring moves and a short metal rod projecting from the back of the clock drops down. To the end of this rod is attached match which rubs against piece of sand-paper and ignites a strip of paper fastened to the clock and connected with the kindling in the grate. Thus the fire is started while you are still sleeping. But sec ond contrivance is added to the clock. When the fire has burned long enough to heat the room second spring moves and wild alarm rings out on the still ness of your chamber and makes sleep an impossibility. Thus you are awakened at any hour desired, to find your fire burning brightly and the atmosphere of your room of the right temperature.- ". ?. Tribune.

FACE MEMORY.
Why People of Strange Races All Seem to
 Look Alike.

Why People of Strange Races All Seem to
 Look Alike.
 We must say to begin with that 8 large proportion of mankind, as any great portrait painter will testify, never see faces actually at all. Some are short-sighted and see no definite edges to anything, and consequently, though unconsciously, rely for indentifi- cation on evidence, which is not that of sight and is frequently all wrong They see the type, but not the true face, and as considerable portion of mankind others of like kind by differences as minute as those of leaves, the short sighted are constantly liable to error. So are the inattentive. They fail some- times, after many interviews, to catch the expression of the face: can not state, except in the vaguest way, the color of eyes or hair, and will misdescribe fea- tures-perhaps prominent features-as if they were paid to do it. They have never attended to the face all, but have been content with a general impression; have never observed with any true ob- servation, and are as little to be trusted in their accounts as women believe most men to be when describing woman's dress. They will even confuse dark persons with light, and declare that long face struck them as short one, or hesitate, as witness did in bigamy case, about the presence or absence of a mustache. In- deed, it is probable that large section of mankind can not observe, for of all who land for the first time in India or China, at least half declare that all h. dians or Chinese are precisely alike. Yet, though Chinamen have certain broad points of resemblance in color, shape of brows and absence of hair, they are in details as different as Europeans; while Indians, owing to their wide diff ference in color, the use or disuse of hair on lip or chin, and the existence among them of features due to varieties of original race, are more different than white men. Inattention is, however, the main cause of error, and is some- times carried to extraordinary lengths. We have known brothers unable to state the color of each others eyes, and fel- low collegians who could not remember whether acquaintances wore the mus tache or not.-LOndOa Spectator.

 Where was it that read the following charming story? In Saintine, think.
 Some sort of a savage, an Indian, per- haps, came to Paris to live permanently He made a study of our ways and cus- toms.
 In drawing-room he had discus sion, and dealt to his opponent such square logic and common sense as foored him completely. So much was the adversary enraged that he slapped the savage's face.
 "This is further proof" said the lat ter, ''that you are notright, for you have nothing but brute arguments left to you," and, enchanted by this last vic tory, he looked around him with an air of triumph. In place of viewing smiles, however, he saw only stupefied faces and scornful eyes. He was astounded himself when a gentleman with a grave air, face graced with whiskers, and wearing the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor, took him by the arm.
 "You are 8 stranger, are you notp" he asked.
 ''I am."
 q felt sure you were. You are not familiar with our customs. After the outrage you received a man of the world would send two friends to demand req son from the assailant.
 "What reason can 1 demand from a man that has none."
 '.Reason, such as you think of. has nothing to do with it. To demand req son simply means to propose single com bat with the sword or pistol.
 ''Indeed? How strange. l shall con- form with the custom immediately"
 A meeting was had, pistols being chosen. The Indian, who was accus- toned to hunt the tiger in his native jungle, promptly inserted a bullet be- tween the two eyes of his antagonist, and killed him as dead as Moses.
 Shortly afterward he was summoned to answer for it. A gentleman in an official robe of red, wearing the cross of the Legion of Honor, demanded the inflictiOn of severe punishment on the ground that it is time to do away with usages worthy of the barbarous ages.
 The poor devil turned his head to see this terrible accuser, and uttered an ex- clamation of surprise.
 Why" he cried, you're the very man that told me I must fight or be disgraced.
 ''Silencer' exclaimed the President of the court. The prisoner was condemned to six days of Imprisonment and fine of forty dollars. When all was over he called upon the AdYocate-General and said:
 "What sort of joker are you? It was you who told me that I must fight!''
 The amiable Magistrate shook him by the hand smilingly:
 'Of course; when I spoke to you in that way it was as man of the world; in court I spoke as a Magistrate. Do you grasp the shading?"
 ''Faith, I don't.''
 ''Well, you will, by and by. You are not quite used to our ways as yet. "- Paris Paper.

A BLOODY RELIC.
The Sword Which Decapitated Twenty
 four Followers of Huss.

The Sword Which Decapitated Twenty
 four Followers of Huss.
 Rev. J. B. Hayes, who preached re- gently in Allegheny, in the course of his address exhibited curious relic of an- cient days and bloody times, in the shape of sword. The historic. sword was brought from Bohemia to Edinburgh, Scotland, where it was sold at auction for fifty dollars in 1878, and was bought by party of Bohemian students, who presented it to Professor W. G. Blaikie. Professor Blaikie lent it to Dr. w. Breed, who allowed Rev. M". Hayes to bring it to America. It is huge, double-edged weapon, four feet in length and increas- ing in width from the point to the hilt, where it is six inches from edge to edge. The hilt is leather-covered, tipped with a fancifully designed iron knob, and is sufficiently long to allow it to be grasped with both hands. On the 21st of June, 1921, the sword was used by the public executioner to behead twenty-seven men, including twenty-four Bohemian knights, nobles and gentry, followers of Huss, who took up arms against the Austrians. These men surrendered with the under standing that they were to undergo no punishment, but the treaty was disre- garded, and at sunrise on the morning in question they were led to the block. On the leather handle of the sword in gold letters in German text are the words: ''The deed was done on June 21. 1621,'' and on the side of the blade, also in German characters, are the fig ures ''1621" and the names of the twen-. ty-four martyrs.

A NATURAL GAS FORGE.
An Invention Likely to RevoIutionize the
 Smelling of Iron and Glass.

The Petroleum Age thus describes a recent trial at Kendall, Pa., of Dr. Ben- ninghoff's patent process of smelting iron, steel and glass with natural gas. Iron and steel were quickly raised to a white heat in well controlled flame, which came from mixing natural gas with air, and the metals were easily and thoroughly welded.
 The invention seems likely to revolu. tionize the smelling of iron, steel and glass in the United States. The forge is built of brick, about thirty-three inches square at the base and thirty inches in height. The firepot is located at the central point, and near the top of the forge. Inch air pipes coming from the fan or blower are connected to three-quarter inch gas pipes just outside and on op- posite sides of the forge. At the T the gas and air are mixed, and then pass into the forge through the same pipe. The two pipes from opposite sides are in horizontal line with one another, and have their open ends in the forge di- rectly opposite and sixteen inches apart. When they are lighted, the two flames strike against each other. An air pipe in a vertical position from the bottom of the forge has its open end about eigh- teen inches below the horizontal line be- tween the pipes containing gas and air. The intense heat is obtained near the intersection point of the air current and the mixed ones of air and gas.
 The top of the forge is nearly closed, with the exception of an aperture large enough to admit the piece of iron or steel to be welded. When the two gas jets are first lighted, the flame rises to a height proportionate to the flow of gas. But when the air is forced into the air pipes and mingles with the gas, the flame changes from yellow to lam- bent blue color, as it settles into the firebox in the forge. Why the jet of flame sinks instead of rises is something as yet unexplained by those who have brought about the valuable results. Dr. Benninghoff describes his invention as a process in which gas is mixed with air under pressure, so as to make it in the highest degree combustible. He also says, the oxygen in the air being the im- portant factor of combustion, all that is necessary is to supply sufficient amount of air to get the required amount of oxygen to perfectly consume the gas. Gas burning in an ordinary jet for the purpose of light gives that light because it is not all consumed. Where combustion is perfect, there is no blaze or flame to be seen. In order that the air supply may not interfere with the heat supply, the gas'is mingled with the air before it is introduced into the tirebox. In arranging forge it may also be necessary to add extra air blasts to the fire for the purpose of locating the heating place, and for SUD- plying oxygen in case there be any non- oxygenized gas present.-Scient!fc American.
