Cloth Made or Glass.

M. Dubus Bonnet, of Lille, France,
has invented q process of spinning and
weaving glass into cloth. The warp is
composed of silk, forming the body Of
the groundwork, on which the pattern
in glass appears, as effected by the welt.
The requisite fiexibilty of glass thread
for manufacturing purposes is to be
ascribed to its extreme fneness, as not
less than fifty to sixty of the original
threads (spun by steam engine power)
are required to form one thread of the
welt.
The process is slow, for no more than a
yard of cloth can be produced in twelve
hours. The work, however, is extremely
beautiful and comparatively cheap. A
French paper, commenting on this dis
covery, says:
"When we figure to ourselves an apart.
ment decorated with cloth of glass, and
respondent with lights, we must be con-
vinced that it will equal in brilliancy all
that the imagination can conceive and
realize; in a word, the wonders of the
enchanted palaces mentioned in the Ara
bian tales. New York Star.

How Amputation Is Performed.

The layman is often surprised to note
how slight are the external manifesto
tiOns of serious diseases which sometimes
call for radical surgical treatment. DIR.
Warren brought in before the medical
class at the Massachusetts general hos
pital not long ago an old man upon whose
right hand there appeared to be small
sore spot, not at all malignant or painful
in its appearance. 1t was situated di-
rectly upon the back of the hand, and
seemed to be no more than trihing
local sore that could be easily healed.
The patient was a man of more that SO
years. DR.. Warren explained that the
trouble was of cancerous nature; that
it had manifested itself in no other part
Of the body, and that amputation seemed
to be the only safe course to resort to.
He accordingly proposed to take off the
hand just above the wrist before the
malignant disease had a chance to
spread.
The usual application of rubber band
age and tight rubber cord above the
point of amputation was made, and the
surgeon made rapid work of the case. A
single sweep of the knife just over the
wrist severed the skin and little deeper.
The tissues were then dissected upward
for nearly an inch toward the elbow to
the point where the bone was to be cut
in order to make flap. The flesh was
quickly cut to the bones, and few
strokes of the saw severed them. The
wound was antiseptically treated and
sewed up, and in ten or fifteen minutes
from the time he was brought in the old
man was picked up by a strong attend
ant and carried back to his cot in the
surgical ward.-New York Sun.

Going West.

The general interest that has been
taken in the opening of the Montana
Indian Reservations is shown by the
large numbers of people who have
already gone to Great Falls to inves-
tigate the mineral and agricultural
resources of that wonderful country.
The low excursion rate announced by
&. IL. Warren, Gen. Pass. Agt. Of the
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railway. mekes the expense of explor
ing this country merely nominal, and

Treatment for Sick Headache,

The headache of indigestion, accom-
panied by scotoma, or scintillations and
dazzlings of light before the eyes, is al
ways due to acidity and evolution of
gases in the stomach. When not accom-
panied by aphasia or by want of CO.
ordination, it is easily cured by common
Baleratus or supercarbonate of soda. Let
the patient take one-fourth of teaspoon
full in much water-say four to six table
spoonfuls, or more-wait few minutes,
and if not relieved repeat the dose. The
glimmering soon ceases, and tho pain
forgets to follow. Hot water can be
used if the stomach is very weak. and
Bondault's pepsin will sometimes relieve
it without the soda.-Dr. S. F. Landrey

Bismarck's Famous Sentence.

It is proposed to use the famous sem
tence of Prince Bismarck, ave Germans
fear God, but nothing else," as the ma
tional German motto. A number of stu
dents have been hunting for the origin
of that expression ever since, to prove
that there is nothing new under the sun.
One finds it in Racine's "Athalie," as the
saying of the high priest Joash, and an.
other has discovered passage almost
identical in Carlyle's eloquent description
Of Abbot Samson ('Past and Present, y
book III, chapter 10. These scholars
would destroy ALI the patriotism in Ger.
many IL they had their way.-Chicags

taken down there and is sent by another
system to Queenstown, Ireland. 1t is re-

wall, and is read in that way, From this
point it goes to London by the ordinary
method. From there ID is sent to the
African cable line leading across the
Channel, down the Mediterranean and
the Red sea to the Indian ocean, there it
takes to Bombay. Probably fifteen oper-
ators handle the message before it
reaches its destination, and to say that a
message can be sent through without a
stop is nonsense. The work is done very
quickly, though, and a message to Cal
cutta or Bombay would so through in
two hours, perhaps three, according to
the way the wires are working. They
have been sent in less time. Chicago
