BOTTLES sY MACHINERY.

Ths First succcsSful Attempt to Thus
Make Them In This Country.
During the last six weeks the Amer
team Bottle Company, whose works are
located ut Woodbury.. n. j., have sue
cecded in making bottles by machinery,
being III first successful attempt to do
20 in this country, says the New York
Jun. Tho machinery used is an Eng
lish invention, which has been used
in that country for two years. Tho
glass Is gathered in the usual way and
allowed to run from the rod into IN iron
cup, which measures the quantity
needed for making the bottle. From
below n hollow iron plunger is pushed
up through the bottom Of the Gun and
through the mass, and the cup Is re-
versed, leaving the glass suspended
from the hollow plunger. The Gun,
which is hinged, Is then removed, and
the movement of a lever admits a small
qunntity Of mir through the plungcr,
inter which the bulb is fattened Mt the
bottom and dropped into the mold,
which is then closed and the mir nm.
piled. This completes the bottle, which
Is taken whilo hot to the annealing
oven
by the old process tho ring Mt the top
OF the bottles neck was made by n sec
ond operation BY the machine the.
bottle comes from the mold complete.
Men totally inexperienced in the hand
ling OF glass are able, tits said, after
six weeks practice, to turn IL az much
as an experienced blower with u blow
pipe.

employed to concentrate the light, was
covered with v~iole.-colored glass 50
that only ultraviolet rays fell on tho
gems, of which but three OF the entire
number proved to be phosphorcscent.
All the others assumed II beautiful
violet tint. The two stones whose
phosphoresccncc was most marked
were perfectly transparent white
stones, n having a BLUSH tingc. The

stones Is described ms extremely beauti.
