The practicability of the manufacture of
glass has just been demonstrated through
the land commission department of the
Florida East Coast railway. A few weeks
ago a barrel of sand, obtained from ST
Johns county, was sent to a large glass
manufacturing firm in Ohio, and the re-
suit just received by ]. E. Ingraham is
highly satisfactory. The firm to which
the samples of sand was sent states that
it submitted it to a practical test and
found it to be a first-class article for the
making of flint glass; If the sand shall
be found suitable for making plain flint
glass, it is just the thing for colored work,
and viii make the best green or amber
grades, as it requires a better quality for
these than it does for any other color.
