NJ Dubus Bonnet, Of Lille, France,
has invented a 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 fiexibility Of glass thread
for manufacturing purposes is to be
ascribed to its extreme fineness, 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 q
yard of cloth cap 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
WINGED 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
ban 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 b. 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 triillng
local sore that could be easily healed.
The patient was man Of more that 50
wears. 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 chance 10

Bismarck's Magnificent Physique

The appearance Of Bismarck, who Is
not only a famous man, a prince, and n
general, but who is chancellor of the en-
pire as well, makes the populace gasp
venture to assert that nowhere in the
world can a man Of 70 years be found
who compares with this magnificent
looking leader The perfect command
that he exercises over himself in addition
to pulling the noses and patting the backs
of the nations was shown last winter
when the Iron Chancellor reduced his
weight thirty-five pounds by a course of
training that would have staggered a
collegian.
THE full significance of this feat"
one of the princes physicians said to me
the other day, will not strike you till
you call all the conditions into view. 1t
shows after all that three score years and
ten is by no means goal TO be dreaded.
A mans age is what he makes it. accord
ing to Prince Bismarck. Still when a
man is in his 73d year it looks like fool
hardness to suddenly reverse all old and
metbodical habits, take ice cold baths at
daybreak, have cold meat and cold tea
for breakfast, let wines and beer drop
out Of existence, and do an amount Of
violent exercise that would wear out a
3O-year-old laborer."
The hard physical work which the
chancellor has passed through in order
to get his weight down has left him a
picture Of erect and sturdy manhood.
He gives the lie even to the most com
plimentary Of his portraits. All his life
he has been an athlete, and now he reaps
the reward. Blakely Halls Berlin Let.
