Malleable Glass.

One of the lost arts, provided it ever
existed, was the malleable glass of the
ancients. The Egyptians and the Phe.
nicians made glass-for many early spec.
linens Remarkably 1000 years B. C.
In the reign of Tiberius person ap.
peared in Rome who claimed that he had
invented infexible glass. The story
tells that he produced a glass vase,
which he cast on the marble floor with
vehemence, so as to bend it, but restored
its shape with few blows from a ham.
mer, and that, at the solicitation of a
mob of artificers, who feared that the
new process might supersede the use OF
their vessels of metals, the emperor re.
tanned the glass vase, but ordered the in.
genious artist to be put to death.
Since then two or three other persons
claimed the discovery Of process for
making malleable glass, but nothing
came of it. The art, however, is scarce
ly ''lost," for in the glass houses Of
Murano, close to Venice, they make
glass plates which can be bent. and
thrown about without breaking, but
will not bear to be hammered. Every
one almost has seen what is called spur
glass, which you can Irvine round the
finger as if it were silk; but this canno
be converted by any process into a yes
sell to hold water. Malleable glass il
not lost, because it has never been 8
found, art.-Thomas J.ABowditch il

About Bank Checks,

The cashier of downtown bank said
recently when the public learned which
end of the check they should sign their
names on it would be a great and glori-
GUS day for the employees of the banks
in New York. When the public has
been taught this little detail" the cash
Ter said, ''it would be we'll to give the
banks lesson in printing their checks.
The latest fashion in checks is by far the
most convenient one. All of the in
formation on the check which is of value
to the banker is placed on one end. At
the right hand upper corner is the date.
Under this is the name of the man to
whom the check is drawn. Beneath this
again is the amount of the check in fig
ures, and right below that the signature
of the man who draws it. The other end
of the check is filled with the name of
the bank, and so on.
''The advantages of this form Of check
are: First, that the date, amount, signer
and drawee can be seen at a glance;
second, if the check is bound up with
dozens of other checks and bills it is not
necessary to pull it out from the bundle
to get information about it. A cashier
can take up a package of such checks,
thumb over the ends, and set them aside
in less time than it would take to 60
over two or three checks of the older
form. Nearly all of the larger banking
houses and big corporations have adopt
ed the check, and it will eventually find
its way down to the smaller concerns. >

Power of Pigeons on the Wing,

The power of pigeons on the wing is
proverbial. All trained birds of this spe-
cies have two qualifications in a marked
degree. The first is speed, the second
long and sustained powers of fight
This proposition can be amply demon
strated, and the following is one of the
most remarkable records: On Oct. G.,
1850, Sir John Ross dispatched pair of
young pigeons from Assistance Bay, a
little west of Wellington Sound, and on
Oct. 10 pigeon made its appearance at
the dovecote in Ayrshire, Scotland,
whence Sir John had the pair taken out.
The distance direct between the two
places is 1000 miles.-Cornhill Maya
