FACTS ABOUT GLASS.

Attention was recently called to the
proposed use of glass brick in building.
The most ancient glass has necessari-
iy the same component parts as that
of to-day and the processes used seem
to have been similar in all times.
From England comes the suggestion
that glass would be better and more
lasting material than stone for making
monuments which are exposed to the
wearing action of the weather.
1t is now said that the government of
Switzerland has approved the use of
glass for making weights to be en-
ployed with balance scales. pecul-
iarly tough kind of glass is to be Sc
lected for that purpose.
A change from old methods is that
of fashioning glass by machine pressure
instead of molding by blowing. In the
pressed glass the articles are either
made by hand or machine pressure, and
this innovation has done much toward
making glass articles much cheaper
than formerly.
No industry except that of cloth
manufacture has contributed so much
to the comfort and advancement OF
man as that of glassmaking, which is
one of the oldest of technical industries
Its earliest home was Egypt. The Brit
ish museum has lions head of glass
bearing hieroglyphics fixing the date
at 2,4OO years before Christ.

a Remarkable Operation.

At Rio Janeirio, BAIL, remarkable
operations have been performed on Ro-
salia and Maria, two sisters, who were
born Joined together. The sisters are
doing we'll. Their case resembles that
of the famous Siamese twins, but mod
ern surgery will give them separate
life. Rosalia and Maria, the two little
Brazilian children who, but for the IN
terposition of modern science, would
have had to live joined to each other,
were about 10 years old. Their pa
rents last winter determined to seek
the aid Of surgeons, and to that end
took the twins to the Hospital Mjrcoa-
cordia, Rio Janeirio, where they were
put in the care Of Dr.. Alvara Romos.
The two were joined in manner similar
to the Siamese twins, only still more
closely. Use Of the X.ray developed
the fact that the seventh ribs were
united by solid osseous formation,
and that there was but one liver for the
two. 1t was not difficult to sever the
flesh and bone, but, when it came to
dividing the liver, DR.. Romos hesitat-
ed. Nevertheless, there have been
cases where part of a diseased liver has
been removed. go the physician was en-
couraged to make the attempt. The
first part Of the operation was COM
pleted early in the winter, when the
ribs were cut apart. The shock was 50
great to the patients thatit was deemed
necessary to wait for time before COM
pleting the separation.

Missionaries Hutchered.

The. Shanghai Mercury says that
a member of the Boxers society who
saw the murder of Rev. MIR. Ellis, of
the London mission, and Of a Chinese
missionary at Kung Tsuu, gave the fol-
lowing account of the tragedy to a
friend: "On the 18th day Of the fourth
moon the Boxers, numbering 81,
crossed the river Tsz Tsuu and met the
two missionaries in boat. They knew
the Chinese was Christian aud at once
attacked him, wounding him with their
swords. Then they dragged him out Of
the boat and tied him to tree at the
river side. Then Ellis was tied with
him and Chao, another Chinese mis-
sionary, was found. His toes and
thumbs were bound together and he
was carried to tree near where the
others we're hung up. The arms from
the missionaries were cut Of, their
heads hewn off and after the bodies
had been disembowelled they were cast
into the river. The chapel of the mis-
sion was demolished and the crowd
vent on their way.

Serious Result Of q Joke.

The Columbia State says "Wednes-
day practical joke proved to be practi-
cal to the extent of seriousness. A
young man who smokes pipe great
deal was the victim, and small boy
with whom he has been carrying on q
series Of practical jokes brought about
the trouble. The young man had
caught the boy mapping the preceding
day. Wednesday about Roon the lad
saw the young mans pipe on desk.
He filed the bowl with powder and put
some tobacco on top, putting the pipe
back where he had found it, thinking
when the match was applied the pow
der would merely shoot up out Of the
bowl and frighten thesnoker. After
short time the young man had occa-
sion to 20 on the street. He took his
pipe, of course. On his way down
the stairs ne was packing the contents
tighter with his finger, putting more
tobacco in. Soon after reaching the
street he struck match and lit the
pipe. He pulled a few times and there
was a genuine explosion. Afterwards
not piece Of the pipe could be found.
The young man was in a pitiable fix.
His nose and one side Of his face and
one eye were torn and badly powder
burned. He was at once taken to a
doctor, where his wounds were dressed.
He will have to remain in his room 70
weeks, and it is said may lose one eye. "

India's Starving Millions.

Louis Llopsch, proprietor Of the
Christian Herald of New York, after
spending a week in Paris on his way
home from India, sailed for New York
from Plymouth Wednesday on board
the Hamburg American line steamer
Pennsylvania. In an interview previ-
our to his departure Mr.. Klopsch said
the mortality during the wet season in
India was just commencing and must
assume stupendous proportions out
numbering the total Of the deaths dur
ing the past six months from all causes.
Unless 100000 blankets are quickly
provided, the monsoon, midas great
est blessing, will prove appallingly dis
astrous and, Mr.. Klopsch also said the
mortality will exceed 1000, 600. De
further asserted that 80 per cant OF the
cattle in the richest farming districts
have perished. Mr.. Klopsch is
thoroughly satisfied with the methods
adopted in the distribution Of the
American relief. One Of his last acts
in India was to buy 100000 blankets
for the sufferers.

Eeroines Indeed.

Two young daughters Of Isaac Leden-

Ala, prevented wreck in that county
Sunday. An excursion train from
Columbus, Miss, bound for Birmlng-
ham, was due in short time. Ihe
rain was coming down in torrents. The
young women, who resided nea; cul-
vert, saw that the waters had risen
above it and were rapidly undermining
it. knowing that the train would soon
be along, they left the house in the
drenching downpour, without umbrellas,
and ran down the track a mile to the
nearest station and informed the track:

was put out, the train stopped, and at

Death Claimed His Bride,

A dispatch from Charlotte, n. ",
to the Atlanta Journal says Mrs. Rosa
Baumergarten Drlcker's death recently
closed an exceedingly sad incident.
After having been engaged for fifteen
years, she was married to Mr.. Aaron
Drucker y days ago. Preparations
had been made for an elaborate we'd
ding, but few days before the ap.
pointed time for the ceremony, the
bride was taken i'll with appendicitis,
and the marriage was performed at her
bedside by Rev. DR.. Marks, rabbi Of
Atlanta. She was never able to get
up, and after much suffering, died
Wednesday. The marriage was de-
layed because of Mr. Drucker not feel
ing able to properly provide for his
wife until recently, when he became
successfully established in business.

independent vote throughout the coun-
try. He favored the adoption OF MIR.
Schurz's resolution calling for liberty
congress.
Some of the speakers suggested that
a committee be sent to the Ramsay City
convention to request the committee on
resolutions to adopt conciliatory plat
form in reference to the money ques-
tion, so that those who supported Nc
Kinley in 1896 could conscientiously
support Bryan this year.
After discussion on this point, 1t was
decided not to send the committee, but
several of those present at the confer
ence said that they would attend the
Democratic national convention to urge
the necessity of making a platform up
on which all could unite.
1t was said after the meeting that
even should the Chicago platform be
affirmed the anti-imperialists could
stand on the platform plank which will
make all the difference in the world to
them between Mckinley and Bryan and
in favor of the latter candidate.
Many short speeches were made and
many questions were asked as to the
best method for aousing the indepnd-
ent voters to the issue under considera-
ton. The opinion was general that all
the various leagues, the silver forces,
the many patriotic clubs scattered over
the country should be asked to join in
the movement.
The last speaker was Representative
Fleming Of Georgia, who endorsed the
resolution which had been put before
the meeting by Mr.. Schurz and it was
passed unanimously.
The conference adjourned after TAX
ipg this action and the committee to
which the Schurz resolution had been
referred promptly met in the same
room to take further action.

Hanna and Roosevelt.

Perhaps the most acute critic Of the
recent Republican convention is the
Boston correspondent of the Springfield
Republican. He does not take much
stock in Roosevelt, but sternly declares
that he is coming out of the Wretched
wrangle shorn of those peacock plumes
of self-will and swelling independence,
which were good part of his commen.
dation to the American voter. To know
your own mind and stick to it is one
sure passport to confidence; the double
minded man, unstable in all his ways,
loses ground everywhere as soon as his
weakness is recognized. One reason
why Hanna stands well with the con-
vention is that he says what he wants,
With brutal frankness. This will prob
ably cost his party the vote Of Ohio
this ynar-but it strengthens him in a
mass of wire-pullers who mostly have
20 mind Of their own, except to get
what they can for themselves, and their
pecuniary hackers. y

THE CROPS.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by Sec
tion Director Bauer,
HOW THE CROPS ARE DOING
Review of the Situation and
the Outlook Throughout
the State of Cotton
and Corn.

The following is the weekly bulletin
Of the condition Of the weather and
crops Of the State issued last week by
Director Bauer Of the South Carolina
section Of the United States weather
bureaus weather and crop service:
the week ending 8 a. NJ, June 25th,
averaged about 5 degrees per day cooler
than usual, with minimum temperatures
ranging between 55 and 70, and maxi
mum temperatures between 70 and SO
degrees, The lowest temperatures pre-
vailed during the first half Of the week.
The average rainfall for the week was
2.S5 inches, ranging from less than one
inch to six inches. The heaviest rains
occurred in the west central and in the
southeastern counties, where lands were
badly washed, and crops on many bot
tom lands we're flooded and destroyed.
The rains injured cotton, some corn,
melons, and wheat in the shock-caus.
ing sprouting--over the western and
south central counties, but were either
highly beneficial or not harmful else
where, and they improved rice, to-
bacco, gardens and pastures, and minor
| crops generally. Over large portion
of the State cultivation was impracti-
cable, except on from one to three days,
consequently fields are becoming grassy,
| and all field crops stand in need Of cul-
tivation. These conditions we're at their
worst in the western half of the State,
while over the northeastern counties
there has been no harmful excess Of
rainfall and crops Of all kinds are very
promising. Sunshine was deficient over
the entire State.
Corn is doing well, but some is turn
| ing yellow and is firing, while on bot
tom lands, in the western portions,
much was destroyed by flooding. EARLY
corn is being laid by.
There was general deterioration in the
condition of cotton in the western
counties and in the upper Edisto valley,
where some has not been chopped to
stands, and fields are foul with grass
and weeds, and where the crop has re-
ceived very little cultivation. Else
| where cotton IS growing rapidly, and
| early cotton is blooming. Lice are still
prevalent, and in places have broken
stands. There is more or less complaint
of grassy fields from al sections, and
cotton is in urgent need Of dry, hot
weather to permit cultivation and for
its normal development.
Tobacco has improved. Cutting and
curing is in progress, but is not gen.
eral. Worms are numerous in Williams
burg county.
Wheat that has not been housed or
threshed is beginning to sprout in the
shock. Threshing making slow progress.
Late cats have been harvested. Weather
unfs7orabls on melens. Rice, sweet po-
tatoes, gardens and minor crops are do
ing we'll. Fruit is rotting as it ripens.
Peas continue to be soWn on stubble
lands and planted with corn.
