Toughening Lamp Chimneys.

A correspondent of a trade journal
lately asked, Has the tendency of
hardened glass to break spontaneously
yet been overcomer The 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 more
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 third test
were made, the third plate breaking
under weight of one pound six ounces
falling eleven and half feet, while the
same weight falling two feet broke ali
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. If the
water is heated slowly TO the boiling
point kept there for some time and
then cooled as above, cheap chilnneys
can be used for months or until some
accident befalls them. We can testify
from experience that the plan is sue
cessful one. Halls Journal of Health.

In 1914 Baron Stieglitz, in st. Peters
burg, went 10 great expense to have the
news of the treaty Of peace conveyed to
him by private courier few hours
before il came to the knowledge of the
government He therefore gained a
few hundred thousand roubles. But
his porter 10 whom he communicated
the news, tried his hand at little specu-
lation Of his own. In an hour or two
he bought up all the lamps he could
find in ST. Petersburg, so that in the
evening, when the whole city was max
ing ready for the illumination. not a
single lamp was TO be found in any OF
the shops. The crafty porter now sold
out his stock at a price which left him
a nice little profit of $1,000 roubles. -

Relish for conversation has alway,
been shown among the Greeks and the
French-that Is to say, among the race.
which have produced the most refined
society. Aristotle, when writing on
morals, found il necessary TO de
scribe even the voice and speech
Of his ideal ''high minded man. "
II is indeed almost droll to read
how fur the Greeks in their best
age carried it. They appear to have
expected doctor first to persuade and
Klen 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, II 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 vi
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," ''T'he
also of beautiful and well
bred women" says he. lis for me a
sweet commerce" He adds a quota
ton from Cicero to the effect that he
(Montaigne) has large experience in this |
matter. Montaigne must have had
pleasant time, for if he were put TO it
he would, as he tells us, sooner lose his
light than his hearing and speech. The
,tudy of books he holds a ''languishing
md feeble motion that heats not,
whereas conversation teaches and ex-
,rcises at once"
Who, too, that has read Mr.. John

A slight Mistake.

A fond father, blessed with seven
children, and very domestic man, tells
this story
One afternoon, business being very
dull, he took the early train back TO
his happy home, and after time
slipped up stairs to help put the chill
dren to bed. Being missed soon, his
wife went up TO see what was going on.
Upon opening the nursery door she ex-
claimed:
Why, dear, what in the world are
you doing"
why, wifey, said he, Il am put
ting the children 10 bed and hearing
them say their prayers"
Yes, " said wifey, "but this is one OF
our neighbor's children all undreSsed. y

STUDYING ELocuTIoN IN The PARK.

a The life of park policeman Is $

that one Of them should start in SUI

4 sounds come from secluded thicke
. in little frequented section Of th'
/. great pleasure grounds The sounds
, were of a kind which, If heard in &
house at night, would have at once
stamped it as haunted. The voice, ol
voices were now raised in anger, now
dropped in love.
At one time the accents told of an
overmastering hatred, at another they
seemed TO speak of victory and joy;
sarcasm was now the keynote, then BIT
ter invective or gentle pleading The
policeman warily approached the fast
nesses whence the noises came, fully
convinced that he had a dangerous
duty to perform. He felt of his re-
volver to make sure that it was all

whence the voice came.
In little opening in the forest stood
tall young man, in long, black frock
coat His black hair was long and
tossed in disorder. The man had
taken off his hat and overcoat and had
thrown them on the ground. He was
all alone, but was declaiming away,
gesturing with his long arms as if ad-
dressing large multitude The police
man could at first make neither head
nor tail out of the spectacle, but when
he heard what the lanky young man
was saying he became convinced that
he was an escaped lunatic This was
what the orator repeated over and over
again:
20 thou, that rollest above, round
as the shield of my fathers Whence
are thy beams, o sun, thine everlasting
lightr
The man ran through the whole |
gamut of human passions and moodS |
with the sentence, varying his express
sion each time to correspond with hate,
longing, hope, love, envy, pathos or
the other feelings which he wished to
The size of the speaker, the vehe-
mence which he put into his words, and
above all, the energy with which he
swung his long arms in emphasizing his
question, gave the policeman such
idea of his physical prowess
hat he quietly withdrew for assistance
With two brother policemen he came
back to capture the supposed lunatic.
The young man had put on his nat and |
)vercoat and was leaving the secluded
pot when the policemen came up to
lim and made him a prisoner.
To their great surprise he submitted
,alnly. and asked what he had done.
When they told him their suspicious,
lie did not know whether to be angry,
mortified or amused. He soon ex-

The Righteousness of the whole thing

burst out laughing. The prisoner was
