Making of Watch Glasses.

In the production of common watch
glasses the glass is blown into a
sphere about a meter in diameter, suf-
ficient material being taken to give
the desired thickness, as the case
may be. Discs are then cut out from
the sphere with the aid of a pair Of
compasses having diamond at the
extremity of one leg. There is a
knack in detaching the disc after il
has been cut. A good workman will
it is said, cut 5000 glasses in day.

THE SAME OLD TRICK.

1t is not very difficult to determine the
drift of the politics of the Ball-Knox ct
al. combine. 1t is working for the con:
troll of the federal patronage. If it can
defeat the election Of Mr.. Addicks and
elect Regular" to the Senate, they ex-
pect to control the patronage that way.
If they cannot do that they propose to
defeat the election of Senators and have
two vacancies. In that case they i'm
agine that Mr.. Ball would be the dis
penser of federal favors, and that none
recognized in their bestowal. For this,
and To keep alive an insurgent organiza-
ton in the Republican party, always
ready to defeat it when its defeat serves
their purpose, this combine is willing to
deprive the State of its representation
in United States Senate, in defiance
of the constitution and statutes of the
State and nation, and in defiance Of the
peoples decision of the Senatorial ques-
ton at the polls. This is the same old
trick by which the State was allowed
to remain in Democratic control for forty
years; if successful it will put the State
back into Democratic control and make
the Republican party of the State @
mendicant organization, dependent upor
Presidential favor for it's life; make it 6
party with no higher purpose than t
fight for patronage crumbs from the
administration table. Republicans who
do not want that to occur should call {
halt in the plans of the Ball-Knox ct al
combine,

gives many particulars about their

Mud Is f orever
Boiling

Among the wonders of the Yellow
stone National Park none excites more
interest than what are known as "the
paint potts. or boiling mud springs.
into one of thes caldrons two women
tourists recently fell and We're seri-
6ously scalded. There are several
groups of these springs in the parks,
one of the largest of which occupies
space 800 yards in length by Is in
width, in what is known as the valley
of Alum creek, near the Crater hills.
A second group is near the wall of the
grand canyon of the Yellowstone, four
miles below Yellowstone lake and six
miles from the Crater hills. This
group occupies space three acres in
extent and it is said the springs pre-
sent a magnificent sight when in the
course of. eruption. e..
The principal spring is called the
Blue Mud Pot and is IS feet in diam
eter. It is near the large sulphur
spring and when in a tranquil state
looks like lake Of blue mud. The
contents Of the spring are more like
muddy. water than thick mud, although
at times the mud has a consistency of
mortar. In some portions of the
spring various degrees Of consistency
are found, ranging from the muddy
water state to thickness of common
mortar. s,.I ~. !
There are no particular times of
eruption from these springs, and al
though they are in groups or are very
close together, not more than two feet
separating some Of them, there seems
to be no connection between them, and
they are of different colors. Various
shades Of brown, red, pink, blue, Law
ender and gray are to- be found, and
