eLAss-BoTTLE MACHINE.
The Ingenious Apparatus for Mechanical
Iy AIoldlng aud Blowing Bottles,

The Ingenious Apparatus for Mechanical
Iy SIoldlng aud Blowing Bottles
An important innovation in the
glass-bottle-making trade has beon
perfected. 1t is an ingenious appar-
atus for mechanically moldlng and
blowing glass bottles.
The molding is done mechanically
and the blowing by means Of COM
pressed air, thus relieving tho glass
blower and his unhealthy and life
shortening occupation. Each pair of
machines is fed with molten glass by
one youth known as "gatherer, and
each machine is worked by a boy who
molds and blows the bottle, and places
ii on stand, whence it is removed by
another boy called the "taker-in," to
tho nnnealing furnace. Each
pair of machines is thus
served by four hands, three OF
whom are boys Upon the occasion
OF our visit one pair Of machines were
running upon soda water bottles, and
the other pair upon pint becr bottles,
which were turned out at the rate Of
one hundred and twenty per hour per
machine, very perfect bottles being
produced.
The repeating machine consists OF a
circular turn-tablo revolved by ma
chinery around q central pillar. The
whole apparatus is seven feet in diam
eter by five feet over all, and at four
points around its circumference are
placed at equal distances four molding
machines. Each of these is similar in
principle to the single machine, al
though, OF course, slightly different in
detail and construction. AS the ap-
paratus revolves each machine in turn
passes before tho gatherer, who
charges II with molten glass. The
charged mold then passes on aquarter
OF circle to the next point, where the
mold is automatically turned upside
down and the interior OF the neck OF
the bottle is formed, the process OF
blowing being at the same time au-
tomatically commenced. Passing round
another quarter of circle, the mold
reaches n point where 1t is closed, the
air pressure put fully on, and the bot
tie completed. The third quarter OF a
circle brings the perfectly-dnished bot
tie to q point at which II Is automat-
ically discharged on to carrier, by
which it is conveyed TO the anncaling
oven, into which It is placed by a boy.
The cycle OF operations will thus be
seen MS follows: While the first bot
tie is being automatically discharged,
second bottle is being finished. a
third one being reversed and having
its neck punched. while tho fourth 10
being cast-that is, tho motion metal
is being filled into the mold. With
regard TO tho saving, tho actual output
to one factory before the introduction
Of the machinery was 2S0 gross OF bot
tics per day of ten hours, the actual
capacity OF the works being 42O gross
per day There Is very large saving

Keen the Stables Light.

Dark stables are an apomination, and
should not be tolerated. There is no
necessity to sacrifice comfort either in win
ter or summer, to secure enough light. A
horses eyes are enlarged-the pupil of the
eye is-by being kept in dark stable; he
has q harness put on to him and suddenly
brought out into the bright, glaring sun
light, which contracts the pupil so sudden
ly as to cause extreme pain. BY persever-
ing in this very foolish and injudicious as
well as cruel practice, the nerves Of the
eye become impaired. and if continued
long enough, loss of sight will ensue. To
see how very painful IL is to face bright
light after having been in the dark, take a
walk some dark night for o short time, till
the eye becomes accustomed to the dark
ness, then drop suddenly iuto some we'll
lighted room and you will be scarcely able
TO see for few moments in the sudden
light. You know how painful 1t is to your
self, then why have your horse repeatedly
to bear such unnecessary painp dark
stable is invariably damp one, and such
stables we are not yet willing to put either
O valuable working or driving horse in.
Give good ventilation, let the sunshine and
the air have chance to effect an entrance,
and your stables will be purer and more
healthy than IL you take such pains to ex-
clude them and the good influence they in
variably bring.

OUR SUPPLY OF WHEAT.
The Agricultural Departments Esti-
mate OF the Stocks In Farm
ers' Hands.
Washington special. |

"
Statistician Dodge of the Agricultural
Department has prepared comparison Of
stocks of wheat remaining in farmers
hands, which is to be published in the
forthcoming report. Il is claimed at the
department that the brief synopsis sent out
March 10 has been misquoted and mis-
understood. For this reason full state
ment has been prepared which is intended
to be a satisfactory exposition of the wheat
situation to the commercial public. 1t also
seems framed as o reply to criticisms made
BY Board Of Trade people in Chicago.
Statistician Dodge, in his report, says:
"The remainder of the crop of wheat in
the hands Of farmers is 28.9 per cent.
Of its volume. against 26.7 per cent. a
year ago. This proportion was ex-
eded in 1886, 1885, and 1881, and is
nearly the same as in 1854 ana ie6os IN
fact, only in 1887 and 1882 was the proper
tion lower. In round numbers the guam
tity is 132, 900, 600 bushels, against 122, ,000,-
600 last year. In actual quantity the re-
mainder from the failure crop of 1881 was
only 34,000,000 bushels less. The crop
was about the same as that Of 1886, but
March the quantity exported wheat and
FOUR was IL 900. 600 bushels less than at
the same date from the product of 1886.
The following statement shows the re-
mainder of the previous crop on farms
since 1880.

BALLS OF BLUE FIRE.
Lightning Strikes the Capitol at Wash

Panic.
Washington special.

During heavy thunder. storm, on
Wednesday afternoon, lightning struck the
Senate wing of the Capitol, but apparently
did no other damage than to frighten the
occupants and destroy telegraphic and tele-
phonic communication between the build
ing and outside world. The fash was vivid
in the chamber itself, and startled every
one, but the source was known at once and
the proceedings continued without more
than momentary interruption. In the lob
by of the press gallery IL appeared as il q
ball Of fire dropped from each chandelier
10 the floor. In the sub-basement an en-
gineer was prostrated. A cab horse out
side was knocked down. The report was
not louder than pistol shot, but seems to
have been heard in all quarters of the wing.
In the Supreme Court every justice,
every lawyer at the bar, and every clerk at
his desk sprang to his feet, but sat down
again very quickly and tried to look as IL
nothing had happened.
