ure is filtered and made up to s liters
with distilled water, and rs grammes
or tartaric acid dissolved in 80
grammes water and mixed with the
solution. About 2.5 liters are poured
over the glass meter TO be silyered.
The metal Immediately begins to de-
pcsit on the glass, which is maintained
ut about 40 deg. G. Q04 deg. Fah.0
and in a little more than a half hour
a continuous coating of silver Is
formed.
The silvered surface is then cleaned
by very cautiously wiping with a very
soft chamois rubber and treated a sec
ond time with a solution like the first,
but containing a double quantity of
tartaric acid. This solution is applied
IN two portions, and thereafter the
glass is once more carefully cleared of
all unattached silver and refuse and re-
moved to n side room for backing up.
The plate glass before silvering is first
beveled on the roughing machine. To
bevel the edges the sheet of glass is
held up slightly on the edge by the at
tendant on to q horizontal revolving
iron wheel. This wheel is 80 inches In
diameter and 1 IL inches In thickness
and is slightly curved on top. Water
and white Rockaway sand is added
from a large wooden cone-shaped hop
per, which fuses the wheel to grind
down the edges Of the glass.
The wheel is capable of beveling one
foot in about twenty minutes. From
the rough b~eveling machine the glass
Is run over a 30-inch emery wheel.
This cleans and takes out the sand from
the pores Of the glass. From the

no doubt, a marvel of workmanship In
those days, and is still a timekeeper.
1t probably cost about f100, or $500
in our money. The hands upon its am
pie dial mark seconds and fifths Of
seconds, as well as hours and minutes.
The dial also shows the phases of the

for sale. 1t Is owned by a gentleman
Of this city, who has a collection Of
such .curiosities.
The old watch has a history Of some
interest. About 200 years ago an En-
glish sea captain obtained from the
king Of a tribe of savages in the South
Seas some valuable trading privileges.
The king showed him many favors,
and one day the captain asked the in
sular monarch to say what most he
would like to have sent him from Lon
don. 1t pleased his royal highness to
intimate that a big watch would suit
him well. Accordingly a watch was
made to order on a scale BETTING his
royal parsonage. And great was his
pride therein. Having no pocket, he
appointed a youth watch-bearer extra
ordinary to the sovereign. Wherever
the king went the watch-bearer fol-
lowed, carrying the precious royal
timepiece in his hands. When the king
died his soas succeeded to the wner
chip Of the watch. They solo ii to the
captain Of an American ship, and he
disposed of it in Philadelphia. Some
time ago it fell into the hands Of its
present owner, who prizes it highly.
This is no doubt one of the oldest re-
peating watches in existence. Its ring
Is very musical.

AIbumen Diet a Necessity.

DhCh NSNtNStt
Recent tests and experiments with
articles Of food made by Studemund,
Rosenheim and Munich have resulted
in some interesting knowledge. Stude-
mund employed a large number of re-
cruits, by which he established the fact
that 113 grains Of albumen are neces-
sary to maintain health and strength
in a person Of ordinary activity. RIOS
enheim and Munich used dogs in their
experiments. They feed them well but
on substances which contained but
small quantities of albumen. The
dogs grew weak, lifeless and exceed
ingly frail, as il they had been starving
for weeks. These observations demon
strate the necessity of meat diet, be-
cause, aside from leguminous plants,
vegetables contain but little albumen.
Albumen is contained i'm bread, fruits
and potatoes and in large quantities in
leguminous plants. Roast beef con-
tains "a per cent of albumen lentiIs

An Electrified Sidewalk.

People In the neighborhood Of the cor.
ner Of Main and State streets mad somc
excitement yesterday shortly after
noon. A trolley supply wire in some
way broke away from the insulator
and came in contact with the iron pole.
The electric fluid soon reached the
sidewalk and filled the Icy bricks so
that several persons received severe
shocks. For a while, as the first VIC
tins watched for the ones who might
follow, there was lots of fun. A man
man would come along, and rs he
reached the limits of the electricity's
force, would stop suddenly and look
down to see what had struck him. a
step forward and another severe shock
and he would grow pale and all sorts
Of awful things began to rush on him.
Dire diseases which began by such
awful symptoms, the victim would rea-
son, must be shortly fatal, but soon the
laugh Of some watchers or the sight OF
another victim would reassure him, and
soon the cause was found. But the
funniest of all was n little dog who
came running ~joyously down the street
and on the charmed walk. Then cam
a howl of wild anguish and surprise,
and the dog tried to leave. But he
couldn't; the harder he tried, the closer
he was drawn toward the pole. He lay
down; worse yet; every hair formed y
wire, as Ii were, to conduct the fiuld
to his body. At last Il desperate jerk,
and he fell into the gutter, where he
found relief. Soon after the wire was
fixed and the fun ceased.-Springteld

MIRRORS ARE MADE.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE sILvERING
PROCESS.

-
The Method of ReveIing PIate-Glass
-Preparation of the silver solution
-Depositing ON the Glass and Pol
fishing.
The making Of glass mirrors for
commercial purposes was probably first
developed in Venice. Looking glasses
In large sheets were exported from
Venice in the last part of the seven
teenth century. Mirrors became arti-
cles Of household furniture in the early
part Of the sixteenth century. Pre-
vious to that time small pocket mir
rors were carried at the girdles OF
ladies'. They had no covers, but were
furnished with D short handle. The
old process Of amalgamation Is about
done away with. The process of sill
yering was first introduced in 1910,
through a discovery made by Baron
Liebig. A horizontal double-bottomed
metallic table Is rsed, which is heated
With steam to from SO deg. to 40
deg. &.
The glass to be silvered is cleaned
thoroughly with wet whiting. then
washed with distilled water and pre-
pared for the silver with a sensitizing
solution Of tin, which is we'll rinsed off
Immediately before its removal ia the
silvering table. The table being raised
to the proper temperature, the glass
is laid and the silvering solution at
once poured owe it before the heat Of
the table has time to dry any part of
the surface Of the glass. The solution
used is prepared as follows: In one
half liter of distilled water 100
grammes of nitrate of silver is dis
