The Film In Glassware.

The interesting fact has been developed
In the case Of table glass that the much adj
mired irides cent film is slightly soluble in
water, and what is left of it easily yields to
the solvent action of caustic soda, while it
Is not affected by the action of strong n.y.
drochloric acid. When the solutions in
water and III cHustic soda are examined it
is found thai these solvents have taken I'D
sodium, sulphuric acid and carbonic acid,
and the portion OF the film that is insol-
uble In the acid can only be silica, even
the spectroscope failing to reveal the pres
ence of lime
The iridescent film is also said to be usu-
all p ASSOCIATED with one side only OF the
glass, and must he formed during the final
heating of tie ware, being probably caused
by the actor of the sulphurous acid which
exists in the burning gases, this action
upon the surface of the glass, forming So
disulphate and silicate. The latter is after
ward decomposed, when free silica sepa-
rates out in an amorphous form, and this
is that portion of the film which resists, as
above mentioned, the action of the hydro
chloric acid and is dissolved by the caustic
Ledger.

wall that supported the lower side of
the road bed.

for the driver was not only being dashed
to his death, as | supposed, in the dark
ness below, but there was an awful pos
sibility that in the next moment the
stage and the horses would go over the
brink and land in the dismal unknown
abyss of the canyon beneath. The
driver was pulling with all his weight
in the direction of that abyss.

And cherished, with my loneliness aweary,

whats that?" spoke up one of the
group.
"We buried an old Italian last week
down on the Columbia, who died, well,
of starvation, we all think. About fif-
teen years ago Acoino Deminick and his
wife, fresh from Italy, arrived in our
section and selected spot in the ragged
cliffs of the Columbia range, where
where they made their home. For some
time he followed trapping and hunting
for a livelihood, but when game grew
scarce, as civilization advanced, he
branched off into farming, which he fCl-
lowed up to three years ago.
"Deminick was sculptor of rare
ability. One day when in the noun
tains after a long search he came across
a square of marble. Taking it to his
home he began the work of an imagin-
airy form-the form of woman. For
eighteen months ne worked away at
odd times until the stone began to as
sumo the proportions he desired. This
far along he became more attentive to
his work, and the features, one at
time, were soon made to stand out in
strong resemblance to a living being.
At last the form was finished and only
desired the breath of God to be put to
the nostrils to make it beautiful type
of woman.
"He had achieved wonderful under
taking. So attached did he become to
the shapely piece of stone that he gave
little attention to his wife, and often
would go for days without eating any
thing. He became disagreeable, and
three months ago he turned his wife out
to go where she might. She came to
our camp one evening as we were pre-
pairing supper, and told her sad story.
gave her permission to stay with us
until something could be done, and She
has never left the house until the day
of the funeral, when she followed the
remains of her husband TO the grave.
''He had actually devoted so much
time to admiring his ideal form that he
could find no time for his meals, and
consequently died of starvation

of his grave in grassy spot on the
banks Of the Columbia, and marks the

the sound of the mans agony, for with
it came the hope that the poor fellow,
after all, would survive.
Hope grew stronger, for the next mo-
ment came another and still another
groan, this time from man evidently
with vital energy and a rallying strug-
gle. Soon the driver crawled, half
dead, up the bank, but the only thing
he seemed to be thankful for, and the
only fact he appeared to appreciate, was
his courage in holding on to the lines
while he was being dashed and dragged
about on the rocks below. In the dark
ness the first thing he wanted seen was
the manner in which he had performed
the fearful feat of-holding the reins!

horses against the upper bank, doing

MntrlmonInl Observntlons.

Miss Mabel Goddard, who has been
studying the relations between indus
try and matrimony for the past ten
years, states in pamphlet form that the
proportion of marriages is greater
among trained nurses than any other
class of workers. 1t may be
gratitude that moves the hearts of men
and undoubtedly admiration and affec-
tion have something to do with the re-
suit, but, whatever the main cause, the
fact remains that quiet, docile, intelli-
gent and competent nurses find them
selves at the head of homes and fami-
lies in remarkably short time after
graduation. Like the Vassar girls, these
daughters of mercy marry well, which
is more than can be said of the capti-
waiting little typewriter, who ranks
second. Her training is, at best, super
fetal. She is not judge of men, and,
while her affection is sincere enough,
she lives to repent, to detach herself, To
return to her corner and machine in the
downtown Office again, and often to
make a second choice. Considering its
size, matrimony makes fewer deple
tions in the army of school-teachers
than in any other orga nization of fe
male labor.-Chicago News.
