In the manufacture of watch gl&sses
the workman gathers with the blowing
tube several Kilograms Of glass. Soften
ing this by holding it to TIE door Of
the furnace, he pnts the end of the'tube
into communication with reservoir Of
compressed air, and big sphere is blown.
It is of course necessary to get the ex-
act proportion of material at the com
mencement Of the operation, accompa-
MED by peculiar twist of the hard and
an amazing skillfulness. The sphere
ought tosbe produced without rents, and
in such dimensions that it is of the re-
quisite thickness.
Out OF. these baus the workman cuts
convex disks Of the required size. This
is delicate operation. A s'tournette, a
kind Of compass furnished with dia-
mond in one of its branches, is used.
The diamond having traced the circle,
the glass is struck on the interior and
exterior sides with stick and the piece
is detached. The disks, which are after

They are seized by the thnnb, passed

A story OF SIR naatfhew Hale,

A gentleman in England died, leaving
his fortune by will to two sons. The
son that staid at home destroyed the
fathers win and pretended that the
brother who was absent was dead and
buried. The absent brother after q while
returned and claimed his part of the
property. Judges and jurors wers to be
bribed TO say that the returned brother
and son was no son at ali, but only an
inpostor. The trial came on. Sir Mat

courtroom and for twenty years the
pride of jurisprudence, heard that injus-
tice was about to be practiced He put

pieces Of gold to the other jurors, but as
this was only q poor miller the briber
gave to him only i've pieces of gold.
A verdict was brought inrejecting the
rights of this returned brother He was
to have no share in the inheritance.
''Hold, my lord" said the miller.
Hold! We are not all agreed ON this
