Cutting Glass Cylinders.

Several Of the Southside glass factor.
il are now using electricity for n novel
purpose. Heretofore when they wanted
to cut one of the large cylinders Of wind
ow glass 4 simple but primitive method
was nsed, according to the Pittsburg
HjTatrh. This consisted Of the pulling
out from the furnace Of thin shred Of
glass, heated white. This WAS quickly
Wrapped around the bottle.shaped end
of the cylinder and it burned through or
fractured, the glass. A pair of tongs had
to be used in the process.
BY the new method the glass cylind-
er is encircled with fine wire, the ex-
tieInities Of which are put in connec-
ton with a small electric battery. 1t is
necessary that the wire adhere closely
t. the glass. When n current Of electric
i;y is passed through the wire the latter
lecomcs red hct and heats the glass
beneath it. Then a single drop of water
deposited on the heated place will cause
II clean brcakagc of the glass clear
around in the path of the wire.
Contrary 10 what takes place with the
usual processes in the treatment Of this
fragile material, it is nd that the
thicker the sides of the cylinder are the
better the cut.

A FISHING STORY.
How Dink Melvin was Haunted by
u UeadlcSs Horse

Everybody in Albany knows Dink
Melvin, the fisherman and bontman, AMI
doubtless every one who has ever been
on fishing expedition with him up tile
Muckalee or Kinchafoonee has heard
the story he tells about ghost that
haunts the banks of the river in the Vi
cinity of the Fair Grounds, says the Al
banv Ne'rnRd Ady.rtis,r.
The ghost that Dink describes most
eloquently is in the shape Of big white
horse without head. Ihe horse is per-
feet in shape except lie has no head, and
DiDk says that he has been seeing it for
the last five or six years It's trysting
place is along the river banks in the Vi
cinity of the Fair Grounds, and Dink saws
that he can show it to any man that will
go with him after nightiall. II he gets
in his boat and rows across the river tho
big white horse follows him to certain
place, and then disappears. II has given
him several bad frights, and one Sunday
evening as he was returning from the
creeks above, the thing came right up to
his boat and seemed to be trying to put
its fore feet in. Dink says that ho
has been scared good many times,
but this was the worst fright he ever had
in his life.
The reporter was one Of a fishing
party that camped on the Muckalee one
night last week, and heard Dink tell
this wonderful story.
'I'd just like to see some man that
had the grit to shoot at the thing, but
/ wouldn't care to be close to him when
he done it," said Dink.
"Well, sir, you take me there and
show it to me, and Ill shoot at it, said
the scribe
"No, sir; boys don't you do it," inter
rupted Harrison Pettis, the scribes
faithful boatman, from the outer edgo
of the tent, "Kase ] tell you WHY
knOwed man what shot Mt n ghos, an
he died in erbout three weeks. No, sir;
don't you shoot at dat thing, for / don't
want you to die"
An engagement was made with Dink
to visit the haunted spot, but at the ap-
pointed time Dink begged to be excused
saying that he was sick and did not
feel well enough to take the walk and
face the ghost. He then promised to
call for the scribe between sundovn
and dark on the following evening, but
he failed to show up.

Garfield on Protection.

Professor a. I. Terry, of Williams
College, once said "Thc late President
Garfield said with his own lips to the
present writer, that, when he was a
member of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, every person who came before that
Committee to get protective taSes put on
Or increased, came in the barest selfish
ness, without thought or care except to
get higher prices for his own wares from
his own countrymen. Favorable cir
cumstances enabled a combination of
capitalists to get ho'd of the long arm
of the national government in 1861, and
to use it then and thereafter for their
own enrichment at the constant and
enormous expense of their fellow citi-
.cus."
This remark confirms what the 'theo-
rists" have been saving. There is no in

"Give Us so much tariff on our manufac.

This is the way the Dorsey moaey was
ra sed IN 1886. And in 1884 Mr.. Jones.
of Pittsburg, was selected as Chairman
of the National Committee because he

IMPENDING TROUBLES.

The London Neus ridicules the arg,I.
ment that President Cleveland's Message
relative To the fisheries question is n
party move. He would not have recon-
mended retaliation unless he had regarded
it as the last alternative to the rejected
treaty. With reference to the Toronto
Mairs demand for customs union between
Canada and the Unite | States, the Ncws
says: ut would be strange and ironi-
cal stroke of fortune should Mr.. Cham
berlain, who poses as an ardent imperi-
a'ist, have Indirectly contributed, by his
recklessness and Tancor to the dctaching
Of the Domin on from the sovereignty of
tie queen" News from Halifax is TO
the effect that those who have contended
that Canada made too liberal concess ons
to the Tn ted States, are pleased that the
fisheries treaty is rejected, but Others
who have desired an amicable settlement
of the disputes on almost any equitable
basis, express extreme anxiety over the
United States Scnate's action. All par
tics are unanimous in dema ding that the
moius cirendi shall be Immediately re
scinded and that the whole resources Of
the Dominion, if necessary, shall b
placed at the disposal If the marine de
partment for the adequate. stern and un-
yiclling protection Of Canada's fishing
grounds. Only those yess Is which have
taken out licenses for the present sc;sou
will be allowed in Canadian ports, ex-
cept under the convention Of 1918. In
all circles the gloomy feeling prcva Is
that serious troubles are impending. The
American fishermen will not restrain
them elves from following the fish within
limit. II found trcsspassln@, the Cana
d an cruisers are bound to make cap
tire. The CANADIAN people feel that
they are backed by the whole resources
OF the British empire. They say that the
British squadron stationed there sc u'd
blow up New York in four days, not
taking into 60 sidcration that the Uni ed
States has any navy, or that it possesses
the finest torpedo system in the world.
The Canadian Parliament, by its ratitict-
tion Of the treaty. has pro- posed lio raj
