Some years ago we heard Of a man up
in Vena ngo county, who lived IN frosty
section, and who kept the ordinary tin
lamps or torches hanging to the limbs OF
his fruit trees, one to each tree. When
frost threatened he lit the torches, and he
had fruit, when his neighbors had none.
1t is said that the heat from one lamp,
percolating through the branches of tree
on still night will save the fruit.
Speaking of the disc lately cast at the
Plate Glass Works here the Greenville
argus ssys;-Dr. Peate needless to say
IL much pleased over the result. He has

nearly every instance the glass was cast
at the st Gobain works, Paris, famous
the world over. and the Butler glass is the
equal, in every respect, of the Paris pro
duct. Many people always seem ready to
decry their own country as il some foreign
nation had patent on brains of any par
ticular sort. Because America had never
cast telescope glass of this sort it was NJ
sign that il was an imrossibility. AL
honor to Butler.
