AMERIct.N LOOKING GLASSES
This Country Now Imports but Few
 Mirrors and Trade Is Increasing.

This Country Now Imports but Few
 Mirrors and Trade Is Increasing.
 Most of the "frenca' mirrors bought in the United States today are made here. Very little looking glass is in- ported now compared to a decade ago. The tables are gradually turning The European nations do not see them. selves in American mirrors, but the Central and South Americans are very partial to the America looking glasses, and this country Is doing large ex- port business to that quarter. Penn sylvania and Indiana furnish most C; the glass which Is turned into Ameri- can mirrors at present, but plate glass factories that can turn out quality of glass suitable for the use of mirror manufacturers are springing up very rapidly in several of the eastern 21ates. The American glassmakers have finally succeeded in turning out superior quality of clear white glass which makes as fine mirrors as can be bought in any part of the world. The leading looking glass makers have 1ound this out and they import very little glass for their use. Not more than one-tenth of the mirrors made in this country last year were made of imported glass, whereas a few years ago nearly all the American mirror makers were compelled to go abroad for their glass. In the matter of frames, the American mirrors are now put up quite as richly as any of the foreign creations. The multiple mirror, in which one can see ones image from all sides and angles, is strictly an American creation, and has proved big success with mer- chants, especially clothiers and ladies' fu:nishers. As for size, larger mirrors 1-- 1zeec k seeAa. sSszsxe.z sS:szsxe-.S sszzs:aS- 1aas were ever attempted in Eacope.--NeE York Times

A Terrible Struggle With a Wors.

An inhabitant of La Chabroulle, a small village in Dordogne. France, had terrible struggle with a wolf one or two nights ago. The man was awakened by bowling round his house and understood that wolf had come, as they frequently do when driven by hunger, to devour the watchdog. He took his gun and went out, when the wolf immediately came bounding to- wards him. M Marcher fired both bar rels ol his gun into his assailant. which, nevertheless. still sprang at him. Finally ne got the barrel of his gun into the brute's mouth, and, press ing 1t to the ground. finished it by kicks. The struggle lasted over ten rinutes, and had another wolf been present. matters would lave gone hard ~;tL Ri MarCheT

NEW CRIMES IN THE CALENDAR
Mans Lawless Ingenuity Is Giving tue
 Courts Added Trouble

Under the laws of the land as they exist at present the theft of lanp is larceny, it may be a Roman lamp or a Greek lamp, an oil lamp or an electric lamp. Whether it constitutes grand larceny or petit larceny will in certain states of the union depend not upon It's age or newness, but upon it's mar ket value. On the other hand there are great number of modern crimes which could not have been committed n ancient days because the instru- ments for their perpetration did not exist. They are the outcome of mod. ern civilization and they require new legislation. The tapping of te1e- graph wire is modern form of high. way robbery. In the old days the method was to waylay the courier on the roaC and to rob him of his purse or of his message The formula of tho modern highwayman is not Stand and deliver," but simply Deliver" AaS he may get a message from the light ming courier which may be worth mors to him than Well-filled purse. But there is nothing to be gained by indis- criminate tapping. It Is some special message or information that the thief Is looking for, possibly for it's effect on the stock market or on other busi. ness ventures, but the use of cipher codes renders the tapping of telegraph wires of little avail even in time of war, unless the code as well as the message has been stolen. For the tap ping of power or light lines the mod- ern highwayman comes in out of ehs rain. He can do his business better indoors by attacking the electric me- ter, confusing ita calculations and thus getting more current thap he pays for. Such at least seems to Ae the impiica- tion of veeent statutes.

Thre. Poison. Ia Tobacco smonA

z. Binz, in the Deutsche Aerzte-Zet Sung, says there are three kinds of poi. son in tobacco smoke: nicotine; that which is obtained by the slow ash for nation, pTyridin, etc, and carbonic OK. .de. Carbonic oxide is always easIy shown to be present in tobacco smoke. Its percentage depending upon the vol. ume of the smoke gas, varies between 0.6 and 7.6. The variations depend upon the rapidity of the ash formation and the quantity of the atmospheric air drawn = or the lung air blown out A peyer-s. slight acute poisoning from varbonic acid of tobacco emoke is, un- der ordinary conditions, scarcely to be expected. Whether the daily taking in of the small quantity of carbonic oxide which. through many years of smoking, gets into the blood of snok- srs, cannot set up chronic injury, is ! question still to be settled.

KEROSENE CAUGHT FIRE.

The alarm OF IRE Saturday afternoon
from box 81, called the fire department
to the double house in the block at tbs
foot of Paris streat, occupied down stairs
by the family of Thomas Laidlaw and mp
stairs by the family OF William Osmond.
The fire started in the Laidlaw Kitchen.
Mrs. Laidlsw had bottle OF kerosene on
ths mantel behind the cooking stove. A
spark from the stove fiew into work
box on the shelf and set IL on fire. In a
moment the kerosene blazed up and for
a few minutes there was great excite
ment. The fireman soon reached the
scene and 1t took them only q short time
to bring order out of chaos. The result
was not very serious, but 1t oocasioned a
loss OF about 800. This comes hard on
the Laidlaw family, for they had no In
surance. The rooms of Mir. Osmond

WORK HAS COMMENCED.
Grand Trunk improvements Are Now
Under Way.

The Grand Trunk has commenced
blasting for round table TO BIS located
at Flsh-Point. AS soon as this round
table is finished the machine shops, re-
pnir shops, and round house will be re-
moved from their present location to East
Deering beyond the new coal pockets.
Il is generally understood around the
wharves that the new elevator will be
built on the site now occupied by the old
depot. 1t is learned today that the man
sgement has not fully decided whether
to build working elevator or a Store
house, but the impression seems to be
that It is the intention to erect grain
warehouse with capacity of 2,00O, 600
bushels, which shall be connected with
the present elevator, allowing the latter
TO do the WORK of moving grain with Its
machinery. Under this arrangement an
other belt conveyor will bs run from the
northerly end of the elevator to the coal
wharf, which is to be converted into q
freight wharf, with three loading berths.

SMALL ICE CROP ON PENoBscor.

Bangor, January l2.-From present In
dications 1t Is believed that the Penob-
scot river ics harvest this winter will be
small. There are two principal reasons
for this-first, the Hudson crop Is likely
to be large, and second, the Penobscot
rivsr fields are as rough as newly
pIoughed land, the tugboats having hrok-
en- up the ice first formed when they
dragged out the last dozen coasters In
December, leaving the river surface an
expanss OF burrows, ridges and jams,
where usually they freeze as smooth as
glass.
The Ice business OF the Fenobseot Is
now almost entirely in tina haads Of the
