Glass Weaving.

The key to the process of making
glass curtains, III connection with knit
material, consists i'll operating partlcu-
lar needles of the machine at the right
time and allowing others foreman idle,
for which pIupose a set of chain bars Is
used so arranged as to render it posi-
bic to command the different needles
according to the needs of the process.
y chain is made up of bars, links and
balls. like those used on the loom for
weaving CLOTH and there is u lever at
tached to the shoulder of each needle
and extending from the part where the
goods circle the needles down to the
first bar of the chain, the latter resting
in bearings On the turning of a crank
connecting beveled gears motion is I'M
parted through the agency of an upright
shaft to the chain cylinder. and every
time the yarn is delivered to the needles
revolution is made, the chain bar cylln-

of the needles, and whenever ball on
the bar contacts on the lever the needle
to which it belongs is pushed forward,
and mechanical device causes the
needle to operate and form loops, thus
knitting. There are, however, blanks
on some Of the bars, and when these
blanks connect with the levers Of the

AnInteresting CREATURE.

The slug and its haldts and peculiari-
ties are we'll worth q little attention
from those who are fond of the unusual
and curious things of earth. A family.
upon moving into house, remarked
that the cellar was lined all over with
thin, shining tracks where some Shiny
creature had crawled. For long time
the makers of the tracks could not be
found, but were at last discovered un-
derneath a box i'll one corner where the
mice had carried some leaves and pieces
of vegetables. They were put into a
glass fruit jar and fed with leaves and
scraps of vegetables. They seemed to eat
but little, but We're continually crawl
ing about the jar At the slightest
sound they contracted into length of
not more than inches, remaining
perfectly quiet for few minutes, when
they cautiously put out their feelers and
began to move The head seemed to go
on, and the tail was still until the body
measured almost 6 inches, when grad
ually the entire length moved slowly
along. AS it crawled up the side of the
jar the under side of the body could DO

Convenient FISHING.

In Yellowstone lake an expert angler
can catch trout and boil it without TAX
ing the fish off the hook. Wild as tho
statement seems, it is absolutely correct,
and have done it myself more than
once. There are in the lake several
small basins containing boiling springs,
although the water in the lake itself
is almost icy cold. Trout abound in
every part of the lake, and man can
by standing on the rocky ledge around
one of the hot springs catch a trout
with line and transfer the fish, hook
in mouth, to the hot spring behind him.
1t will die in few seconds and be fair

number Of anglers who have actually
caught and boiled fish in this almost
miraculous manner may not be very
large, but there are at least 100 reliable
citizens with whom l am acquainted
