A Powerful Burning Glass.

The most powerful sunglass ever con-
structed in France was that made un-
der the supervision Of the savant NJ.
de Villette. This glass generated heat
sufficient to melt copper coin Of the
size of our silver 20 cent piece in ~
seconds.
George Parker of Fleet street, Lon
don, made glass much more powerful
than that which resulted from the
Frenchman' s efforts. Parker's was three
feet in diameter and so powerful that it
was actually used to melt substances
which were too refractory for the fur
naces The best authorities ON heat say
that it had a power Of 1865, 500 degrees
+. This is best understood when it is
known that it only takes a temperature
Of 2,7S7 degrees TO melt cast iron 50 that

by the president, and the people OF
ArdmOre said by their votes last
Monday that he was their choice.

the opposition now being urged

AS to the charges preferred against

that Mr.. Scott does not deny the

why the Quaker's Chester Hogs Took No
Prizes In Georgia.


Prizes In Georgia.
Il never shall forget an incident
which occurred at the first fair / ever
attended in Georgia, said a retired
Cincinnati meat packer. ''It was at
Macon. and l think they called it state
fair. At any rate it was big thing for
the town in those days. They had some
fine stock on exhibition, and a Pennsyl-
vani;.n had sent down about 20 of the
finest looking hogs yOu ever saw. They
were mostly Chester Whites, and if /
recollect Alright they We're exhibited by
Thomas Wood, a great hog and cattle
fancier of 20 and 30 years ago. He it
was who introduced that famous breed
of hogs, the Chester White, and he
made a great deal of money out of his
fancy stock. He was Friend-a Qua
ker, you know-who used the plain Ian
guage and wore a broad brimmed hat.
He was a smart old gentleman. honest
and prosperous. He sent his hogs from
state fair to state fair, and they took so
many prizes and blue ribbons that each
hog looked like a boy who had spent all
his money making a collection of badges.

awards, they gave blue ribbons very lib
orally to the razor backs, but not one Of
the fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs got a
prize. The owner of the exhibit did not
understand it, so he hunted up one Of
the judges and said in the language OF
the Friends:
L know thee to be an honest man,
and l do not question thy fairness in the
award, but to crafty my own curiosity
would be glad to have thee tell me
why thee gave all the prizes to the ma
tive stock and what fault thee -ound in
mine?'
My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly. the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome. and
have no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed to raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are so
short legged and fat that a nigger could
catch them il two minutes. What we
require in hog in the south is legs and
wind. We give our prizes for speed. "
