Toughenins Lamp Chimneys.

A correspondent of trade journal
lately asked, ''Has the tendency of
hardened glass to break spontaneously
yet been overcomes' Tho reply to the
inquiry states that ''this great difficulty
with hardened glass has been overcome
by Frederick Siemens, by placing the
hardened cold plates in boiling water
and allowing them to cool very slowly,
and that he has made some very inter
esting experiments before the Berlin
Polytechnic society, showing the power
of resistance of such plates. A plate
about eight inches square and moro
than an inch thick was supported at its
corners and on it was dropped weight
of more than eight pounds, from differ
ent heights up to six feet, without
breaking. A second and a third test
we're made, the third plate breaking
under weight of one pound six ounces
falling eleven and a half feet while the
same weight falling two feet broke Al.
ordinary plate of the same dimensions.
In applying this principle of toughen-
ing the glass to lamp chimneys We
should prefer to place them at first in
cold rather than boiling water. II the
water is heated slowly to the boiling
point kept there for some time and
then cooled as above, cheap chimneys
can be used for months or until some
accident befalls them. We can testify
from experience that the plan is sue
cessful one.-Hall's Journal of Health.

Conversation in France.

Relish for conversation has always
been shown among the Greeks and the
French-that is to say, among the races
which have produced the most refined
society. Aristotle, when writing on
morals, found it necessary to de-
scribe even the voice and speech
of his ideal "high minded man."
1t Is indeed almost droll to read
how far the Greeks in their best
age carried 1t. They appear to have
expected doctor first to persuade and
then to prescribe for the patient. Nay,
we are told of one most persuasive rhe-
torician who was taken round by the
physicians to persuade the patients to
adopt the prescriptions.
AS to France, if Nine. de Stael is to
be believed, conversation exists only
there. De Quincy, who is one of the
few who have written upon converse
ton, says truly enough that the French,
by temperament and qualities Of their
language, are prompted to rapid and W.
vacious exchanges of thought. Mon
taigne, the most gossiping of French
men, confesses to his love Of the socie-
ty of 'sincere and able men," '"The
conversation also of beautiful and we'll
bred women" says he, lis for Inc q
sweet commerce" He adds a quota
ton from Cicero to the effect that he
(Montaigne) has large experience in this
matter. Montague must have had a
pleasant time, for if he were put to it
he would, rs he tells us, sooner lose his
sight than his hearing and speech. The
study of books he holds a ''languishing
and feeble motion that heats not,
whereas conversation teaches and ex-
ercises at once"
Who, too, that has read Mr.. John
Morley's brilliant sketch of the social
life of Diderot and the Encyclopedias
doubts the high place that conversation
held in France in the last centurya
"All is lost" said one, when Roland
appeared ut the court of Louis XVI
without buckles in hisshocs. Yet such
recent pictures as Mn Orcllarlson's
Salon do Madame Recamier, and ,such
recent books rs the Life of Nine.
Mohl," show that these social tradi-
tons were not lost with the shoe
buckles. French literature and life, In
truth from the time of Montigne to
our own day, are full of proofs of the
large place which conversation held
and still holds in their ideas Of enjoy.
