VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, Jan. 31.-Capt.
Clarke and the men from the missing steam
tug Webster, who arrived here Friday
night, are still on board the schooner which
rescued them. The men state that they
droppe anchor when the hawser parted,
but this was of little service to them. The
tug sprang n leak, and it was all the mon
could do to keep her free of water. They
worked in ice cold water. endeavoring to
keep the Pumps clear, but the weather was
30 cold thnt much ice formed and the
pumps clogged. After the coal was ex-
hausted all the available woodwork was
used. This soon gave out and they were at
the mercy of the waves and much fatigued
from cold and hunger. At the time they
were rescued the tug was nearly full of
water and would not have floated much
longer. All the rescued men had their
hands and feet badly frozen.

A single bulb of the Semper Augustus,

gentleman who purchased it did SO with
the mistaken idea that it was the only
known bulb of the kind in existence, but
no sooner did he register purchase than
another, larger somewhat, but not big,

An Opening for Inventors.

An engineer has written to one Of the
dailies to advocate the Misrepresentation
Of glass. He argues that since steel Is
made by disappearing molten cast
iron by blowing air through it, by pro-
cess reverssly analogous glass can be
softened into toughness and fexibility.
He maintains that glass. which is not
only much cheaper than iron, but much
denser and tougher, can be put to any
of the uses Of iron excepting electrical
CONJUNCTION, while for drain pipes and
water pipes it would be unequaled.
The champion of disoxygenated glass
maintains that it could be used instead
|. of tin and copper. and would replace
iron Tor rigging and fencing, ETC., as it
possesses almost three times the tensile
strength Of the best wrought iron; fur
thermore, be regards it as not improbn-
bic that vessels built of glass beams and
plates will eventually replace our pres
ent steel ships, as they would be strong
err. cheaper and one-half lighter-Pists-
