The process begins with the gatherer.
His blowpips is a tube Of wrought iron,
five or six feet long, and of lighter
weight than the pipe used in blowing
window glass. He dips the end of his
pipe into the molten contents of the
boot, and brings out mass of red-hot
plastic glass. If the bottl es to be
blown are small, one gathering suffices,
but, for larger wares, two or even three
gatherings may be necessary to get the
requisite supply of material on the end
Of the blowpipc. When the gathering
is done properly, this lump Of d-hot
glass is perfectly hom 'geneous mass.
Its subsequent fortunes rest with the
blower. He takes the blowpipe from
the gatherer, and resting the plastic
glass against a marvering table of stone
or cast iron, he gives the pipe few
adroit rotations, thus fashioning the
glass into an even cylindrical shape.
By further rolling it along the edge OF
the table he forml the smaller prolonga-
tion of glass which is afterward to be-
come the neck of the bottle. Lifting
the still red hot glass from the table, he
blows through the pipe, forming
small bubble of air in the interior of
the mass of glass. This is afterward
extended until it becomes the inward.
ness of the bottle.
The partly fashioned bit of glassware
is now introduced into the mold which
one of the ''shop' boys has already
opened to receive it. For convenience
in working the mold is placed on
somewhat lower level than that on
which the blower stands. 1t is made
of cast iron and commonly formed In
two pieces. One of these is stationary,
while the other opens outward, its mo.
tion being controlled by a foot lever.
When the blower places his incomplete
bottle, still attached to the blowpipe,
into the mold, he closes the mold with
his foot and blows through the pipe
until the plastic glass is every where
forced against the sides of the mold,
and has impressed upon it the form of
its prison. --Popular Science Monthly.

The american Beauty"

The exquisite American Beauty, which,
so says florist, il the most popular and
best-selling rose in all the market, has
a pleasing little history of its own. In
the first place, it is the only new variety
of rose that America has given to ths
world. France and England have plo
duced nearly all the cultivated varieties.
America but this incompatible one.
Curlously enough, too, the flower was
not the result of cultivation. Without
waiting to have its advent into the
world encouraged by the coaxing proc
esses of hybridization, this sturdy
floral exponent of American enterprise
was found one morning perfect in form
and color, exquisite in fragrance, on
scrubby little bush iu the garden of a
Washington gentleman. Its unusual
beauty attracted the immediate attention
of flower lovers, but when the classifica-
tion was attempted no variety was found
to include the new specimen. How it
was produced has never been ascer-
tanned. Some happy cross between
two especially adapted varieties, and
that cross the result of chance, probably
originated this marvellous and perfect
variety of the rose. Loyal to our Ameri-
can genius, it is emphatically self-made.

II most people are afraid Of any thing
it is of being buried alive. That cases
do happen where it is very difficult even
for the most experienced phys:c an to
determine whether person is really or
only apparently dead without hlving
recourse 20 means which, while they
would at once settle the dispute, would
place life, II II really still existed, in
jeopardy, may be judged from the fact
that the French Academy of Science,
ten or fifteen years ago, offered prize
equal to $4,000, for the discovery of
some means by which even the mex
perienced might at once determine
whether in a given case death had en-
sued or not A phys ysician obta ined the
prize He had discovered the follow
ing well-known phenomenon: If the
hand of the suspected dead person is
held toward a candle or other artificial

of scarlet space between the fingers at
once ceases. The most extensive and

Electricity in Coal Mining.

Electricity has been brought into use
as a motor for coal mining. A machine
of the kind has been in practical opera
tion every day at the mines of the
Shawnee and lton Point Coal Company,
Shawnee, Ohio! since the first of May.
It ONLY required 81 minutes to make a
cut ST feet delp and three feet face.
The cuts are mLde and the cutter bar
withdrawn within four minutes, and
the machine nd oved ready for another
cut in less thad 10 minutes. 1t does
MT require any effort on the part of the
attendant whilb the machine is at work.
At this rate, six cuts per hour, or sixty
cuts per day Of 10 hours, can be easily
made, and thel machine will under cut
200 tons of coal. This is the capacity OF
the first machine which is now in oper-
alton, it being the opinion of those able
to Judge that under favorable conditions
300 tons of coal could be under-cut per
dav.

Women Who Fight the Tiger.

Gambling among some of our fair
women, says a New York letter to the
Pitts burg Pos, has become such craze
that in several instances they have had
to sell their jewels in order to obtain
money enough to pay their debts.
Poker is their favorite game, and it has
played sad havoc with many a dainty,
well-stocked jewel casket. Two WE'LL
known society women, one young and
the other rather far advanced, have
been especially unfortunate. A con-
siderable difference in their appearance
at the opera and whatever places they
have been wont to fash their gems in
will be noticeable. Both husbands
have refused point blank to settle their
wives 'tdebts OF honor" AT big ho-

the summer was spent by married
women and young girls in the rather
dainty card room, making a business Of
card playing. At first the limit was
kept at low figure, just enough to
make interesting; but as the season
passed aud the women became more in
fatuated it was gradually allowed to be-
come larger. Some of these devotees
were mothers of large families, and
needed rest after their Winters social
and household duties, but they gam
bled with reckless nervousness that is
always observable in a woman at
poker table. They frequently played

When the Train Comes In.

There are eager faces near,
And halfsubdued cheer.
As around the curve the cars unsteady spin;
While impatient feet await
For the opening of the gate,
AT the station when the train comes in.
There is handshaking and kissing
And inquiries for the missing,
And searching here and there for friends
or kin;
There are sad and fearful sighs,
And waving of good-bys, =
AT the station when the train comes in.
Then from out the baggage cor,
oh, so careful, lest to jar
Comes long and narrow box amid the din.
As the mourners gather round,
There's a sobbing, wailing sound,
at the station when the train comes in.
Then the ringing of the bell,
And the whistle, clearly tell,
They are ready a new journey to begin.
For it brooks not to be late,
There are other hearts that wait
At the station when the train comes in.

has recently been discussed by Professor

cies of wolves and jaekals. The latter
animals can be tanned, and many at
