McKINLEY's ACCEPTANCE.

PRESIDENT Mckinley is out in a
lengthy letter of acceptance Of the
nomination of the republican party
for the presidency. He discusses all
the issues that have arisen or are
likely to arise in the campaign.
The silver question is defined as an
I'm mediate Issue and the policy
of the administrator in reference
to the Philippines, and it's other pos
sessions, is taken up at length. The
President makes the democratic
position with reference to these
questions absolutely untenable. The
prosperity of the country is cited,
and the reasons for this condition
are gone into. There ISM a pune
tureable spot in the whole argument,
and his able defense of the admin
istration policy, and his explanation
of why certain things we're done,
furnish more good reasons why the
republican party should be returned
to power, than the democrats will
be able to attack successfully in the
next 100 years.

Selecting Glassware.

To select glass with discretion it is
necessary to understand somewhat of
its manufacture, and to recall the
properties of the chemicals of which it
is composed. says Harper's Bazaar.
These materials are chiefly soda, pot
ash, lime, alumina and oxide of lead.
The quality of the glass to be manu-.
featured depends upon the amount o!
the basic material united with the sill
lea or sand. The best glass is made
with lead, which gives to it luster, fu-
sibility and high refractory powers.
1t is often called flint glass to distin-
guish it from lime glass, which is
much cheaper and of decidedly
greenish tint. Flint glass is that
which is most generally used for cut.
ting and polishing. 1t may be picked
out by the clear, bell-like tone which
it sends forth when struck. This test
may be made without any danger Of
breaking the glass if it be held firmly
in one hand while the upper part, OF
edge, is sharply struck with a pencil
or other instrument, the only care re-
quisite being to see that the glass does
not touch any object when it is struck
since if there be room for it to vibrate
glass will never break.

Mines That Burn For Years.

A number of good sized mines are
now on fire In the United States and
have been for years. The Vulcan mine
on the Green river, opposite Newcastle,
In Colorado, has been on fire since the
great explosion several years ago, when
about so persons lost their lives. All
efforts to quench it have proved fruit
less. In Butte there is mine which
has been afire since 1854. 1t has been
treated with carbonic acid gas gener-
ated on large scale. quicklime and
acids and all the sitting devices that
genius and experience could devise, but
so far without effect.
In Pennsylvania there are several
steadily burning mines. and in one
place where the outlet Of natural gas Is
very great the spectacle it affords is Of
SURPRISING interest. For miles around
a great tower of fire may be seen day
and night. and the dense black smoke
which 1t gives off settles upon the sur
rounding country. How mine gets
afire is easily explained, even though
the greatest precautions are taken to
prevent 1t. Coal seams exude a gas
varying in quantity according to the
pressure and the quality of the deposit,
which gas when mixed with air In Ger,
tain proportions is about as explosive
as gunpowder.-New York Post.
