SKATES MADE OF GLASS.
Their Advantage Over Those ofMeta
or Wood

From the Baltimore American.
II believe the death-knell Of wooden
and metal skates has been rung," said
one of the largest skate manufacturer
to an English reporter. Several prac-
tical inventors have been experimenting
on these articles for years past, and
the latest result Is a skate made Of
glass, hardened by a recently discov-
cred process to the consistency Of steel.
The entire skate Is of this substance, the
upper part resembling a slipper, open
behind, with a split leather 'lace-up'
heel-cap.
Among several advantages stat ed
are that they are much faster than steel
blades and so extremely slippery that
they will run almost equally we'll over
rough, snow covered ice as upon smooth,
and also glide easily over inequalities,
broken twigs and other Instructions.
They are made very sharp, and owing
to their extreme hardness, 1t Is impos-
sible to blunt them: and, unlike steel
skates. they never want grinding, and
can not rust.
"These crystal skates are really beau
tlful in appearance. being nearly trans
parent, the substance has, also, while
In the LIQUID state, been variously col
ored They have already been prl-
vately tested. A famous skating cham
pion recently tried pair at the Mag.

vate trial has also been made In Paris

William G. Ussery, NJ. D., Of st.
Louis says that the best food for those
suffering from typhoid fever is the ba-
nana In this disease, he explains, the
lining membrane of the small intestines
becomes intensely inflamed and engorg-
ed. Eventually it begins sloughing away
in spots, leaving we'll defined ulcers.
At these places the intestinal walls be-
come dangerously thin. A solid food, if
taken into the stomach, is likely to pro-
duce perforation OF the intestines and
dire results will follow. Therefore solid
foods or foods containing large amount
of innutritious substances, as compared
with nutritious substances, are danger
GUS and are to be avoided. The banana,
although it may be classed as solid
food, containing as it does 95 per cent
nutrition, does not possess sufficient
waste to irritate these sore spots. Nearly
the whole amount taken into the stom-
ach is absorbed and gives the patient
more strength than can be obtained from
other food. New York Tribune

the sentence does not seem to have been

as we'll as the judge and jury. They saw
and heard the witnesses, and he has
only writing before him. 1t happens
sometimes that the wife or mother Of

THE cocHINEAL DYE.


prepared FOf Ueos
The history Of the cochineal insect
was for a long time very obscure, and
at one time the species employed in
commerce was considered kind Of
grain. It was not until near the close Of
the seventeenth century that it was dis
covered to be of insect origin. The in
sect is a native Of Mexico, where it was
raised by the Mexican Indians long be.
fore the country was discovered by the
Spaniards 1t is now cultivated in some
of the West India islands and in few
Of our western states, but it is in Mex
leo only that it is raised in sufficient
quantities to form an article of COM
merce. The insect is raised on the coch-
meal tree, or Indian fig or nopal, which
is a species of cactus.
The cochineal is first collected about
are removed from the tree with knife,
the edge of which has been blunted, or
are carefully brushed off with a squir-
rel tail. This labor is performed by the
women. The insects are usually killed
by the application Of heat, by baking in
ovens or by the heat of the sun.
When the cochineal arrives in the
market. it is in the form of small
grain, having q convex and a concave
side, but with very little resemblance
to the body of an insect. 1t is used for
dyeing crimson and scarlet and for
making carmine. Cochineal alone yields
purple color, which, when mixed with
solution of tin in nitromuriatic acid,
may be changed to most beautiful
scarlet. The discovery is said to have
been made in this wise:
A man who was making thermome-
! ter placed in his window an extract of
cochineal made with boiling water, and
in some way vial containing nitro
muriatic acid was broken over it. This
acid changed the purple dye into most
beautiful dark red, and by experiments
this man soon found that the tin dis
solved in the acid caused the change Of
color. An ingenious dyer at Leyden,
Holland, brought the discovery to per-
fection. The secret afterward became
known, and large dyeing establish
ment was erected in Paris This acci-
dent occurred 800 years ago. o-Provi.

II have paid for my seat, and I in

answer received. A happy thought
struck the man. He reached for his silk
hat and put it on his head. Immediate
ly there was cry Of several voices from
behind him: "Take off that hat Take
off that hat!" The man took his hat of,
but the woman. not knowing what he
had done, Of course thought that the re-
marks were intended for her. She was
mad, thoroughly mad, and, gathering
herself together, she left her seat and
the theater, and smile of satisfaction
swept over the mans face. Revenge was

A HISTORIC CANNON.
Was In the Mexican War and Is Now Used
as a Curbstone Fender.

as a Curbstone Fender.
Almost the only relic in existence Of
the battery that was established in this
city during the Mexican war is an old
cannon that is at present doing duty as
a curbstone fender. AT the time the bat
terry was constructed it was on the edge
of the bay and near where the corner of
Broadway and Sansome street now is.
When peace was declared, the battery
was dismantled and the material of any
use was carried away. For some reason
one cannon was left behind, carriage
and all. There appeared to be nothing
the matter with it, and it was even used
several times to fire Fourth of July sa-
lutes.
AS the years went by the carriage was
moved away and remained lying on the
ground for time. When Battery street
was cut through, it received its name
from the old fort, and the cannon was
rolled down to the edge Of the curb as a
reminder of the old days.
How long it lay there is question
that nobody can answer, for those who
might have done so are all dead. At
any rate it is known that a patriotic
drayman concluded that the cannon
should be taken care of. He got num-
ber Of volunteers, and when the curb
stone was put in the crowd carried it to
the corner and poked its muzzle down
into hole 1t has remained there ever
since. San Francisco Call.
