CUT GLASS MAKING.
INTERESTING PROCESSES AT A CORNING.
n y. FACTORY - HOW TO TELL
GOOD GLASS FROM POOR.

The house was the ordinary frame dwelling of
a workingman, and scores of similar homes
sprawled over the side of one Of the twin hills
that shut the Chemung River in beautiful
valley. 1t was the home Of a man who might
earn 50 a day-enough in an upstate city like
Corning to provide q large family with neces-
saries.
The door Of the dining room was open and the
table was set for the MONDAY meal. Nothing
strange about that. Yet there was something
strange about that table. Scattered about in
careless profusion, looking little out Of place
on the cheap red cloth, were pieces Of cut glass
real cut glass
There was no doubling their genuineness
They cleaned with white light and prismauc
color and their facets glittered as only cut glass
facets can It was the cut glass Of the side
boards and tables Of the rich. 4 closer lhSiee-
ton might have discovered flaws in each piece
perhaps a crack in the neck of the vinegar bot
tie or a chip out of the base of tall, eltterins
vase The slightest flaw is enough TO prevent "a
cut glass piece from going to market Yet seen
through the door Of that humble home it was
beautiful.
And the stranger wondered how it came there
that is, until he remembered that he was in
Corning. the cut glass city of New-York State,
In which, it is asserted. more high grade glass is
cut each year than in any other city in the
S'Ny
fiat at the foot Of the hill, strung along the
Euggish river.
a great glass works where is blown most Of
the rough ware which is smoothed and cut and
polished into shape in the cutting shops, occu-
pies the foreground, raising eight or ten lofty
chmneys into the air. They fume day and
night the year round, for their work is never
done. 1t began in 1865, when the town was
only post village, and factory and town have
grown together.
Scattered through the town are the cutting
shops, nearly a dozen of them in all. Most Of
the glass which they use comes from Corning
furnaces, but they are independent concerns.
They are advertised by the gentle humming Of
many wheels, for the cutting is done with grind
stones and rapidly revolving iron disks, and not
with knives.
That The glassWorks are not on exhibition is
impressed upon the visitor before he gets in
side the high fence which surrounds them.
"Visitors Positively Not Allowed" glares at one
from a signboard. and there is a guard at each
gate enforce the rule. There are people who
have lived in Corning all their lives who have
never been inside the works from which most of
the cutting shops obtain their stock and there
parts of the works to which visitors are
admitted.
1t is this way There are secrets in the max
Most Of them belong to the mixing room. There
formulas which known in part to the
who make them up, but no one man knows
all except President Houghton and his sons
This mixing room is an interesting place, with
deep bins filled with materials OF various colors
the bases used in the manufacture of glass.

Trading in Africa.

A recent traveller on the Niger, in At
rica- writes: II was anxious to purchase
some fruit from a native woman who
came down to the ship and to this end l
produced a handful of coppers which /
had brought out from England. l first
showed her five. then six, seven and eight
but she pushed them all aside in a most
unceremonious manner. More by way
Of joke than anything else l then pro-
duced a S-penny piece. which she at once
accepted, giving me in return just twice
as much as l had asked for my eight
coppers. l also discovered that she had
a great partially for white glass bottles.
I happened to have about half a dozen
empty sodawater bottles, for which she
gave me the same number of eggs. /
afterwards found that any white glass
bottle had this purchasing power all over
Nigeria The natives send them to Bida,
where they are melted and made into
rings about three or four inches in diam
eter, to be worn either as armlets or

Negroes Were Convicted Friday OF

will Go to the Supreme
Court.

Will Starkes and Alex Means, negroes,
convicted of murder in the Montgomery
City Court. and given the death penalty,
did not know that their days were num-
bered until yesterday morning.
When the clerk of the court read the
verdict of the jury Friday evening
Starkes and Means retained serene ex-
pressions which they wore through the
whole trial. They were ignorant of the
awfulness of the verdict. Their attorney
was sitting near them when the verdict
was read and told them that he would
get them another trial at 1t before the
State Supreme Court. He did not know
that his clients had no idea of the mean
ing of the words. land fix the penalty
at DEATH
When taken back to the county jail,
the negroes were questioned by one of
the deputies as to the outcome of their
trial. They replied that they were going
to get another trial
Not until this morning did the negroes
realize their fate and they then only
understood after the verdict had been
carefully explained to them. Starkes and
Means both became terribly frightened
and sent for their attorney.
At their urgent request he decided to
appeal and the case will go before the
Supreme Court.
Starkes and Means killed Elem Foster,
a negro. in the southern part Of the
county last March.

the statement that the shoes therein were
actually made in America. This Is prob
ably because the English are now max
ing shoes from American lasts and SELL
ing them as American They are import
ing out machinery and trying to capture
the new taste OF the public which
seems to be decided in favor of our foot
wear. The American shoe is far easier
on the feet and more stylish than the
English shoe, but I hear 1t doubted
whether 1t will wear as well or whether
it will Withstand the wet as the English
boot does. The people here win not wear
rubbers, and they must have a shoe that
will keep out the water.
American Goods in Manchester.
/ see about the same American goods
here that 1 have described as sold in the
stores in London, Liverpool and other
cities. There seems TO be no antipathy to
goods made in America, although many
of the British products are advertised as
made by British workmen and backed
by British capital. The English, however,
will not patronize their own goods If they
are not equal In quality and in price with
any others on the market. What Ameri-
can manufacturers should do Is to send
nothing but the best and to keep the
prices as low as possible. They should
send. their own travelling agents, but
should advise them to work quietly and
leave the American eagle at home, until
they have established their trade.
John Bull Getting Tender.
The British are not unfriendly to US.
Indeed, they have changed their tone of

They say that blood is thicker than wa

ancestors we should stick together. They
are, however, becoming sensitive as to
what is called the American invasion
and 1t will be well for those who want to
do business to work quietly. They did
not seem to mind the loss Of their CONF

England might lose her supremacy on the

lean business is being done under British
names. We have a half dozen great COM

The Tramp East and West.

When I say, writes Jack London, in
The Bookman, that the average tramp
does not understand Trampland, it will
be readily understood that the average
sociologist, tentatively. dabbling, does not
and cannot understand Trampland. A sin
gle instance of this should suffice. Now
it is notorious that Eeastern tramps do
not know how to railroad" The tramp
whose habit has been confined to the
East and South can no more hold
down" a train in spite of hostile" crew
than can he step into Rockcfeler's Of
flee and hold down" Standard oil. Con-
ditions do not demand it. He is not
trained to it. The crews are rarely
hostile " Speaking out of my own ex-
perience, 1 have been but twice put off

cred q nuisance. The effort to get rid of
&c has grown into an industry which em-
ploys more scientific men infits devei-
opment than any other, A description of
all the products of coal tar would be
review of the greater part of the organic
chemistry of, today. Coal tar was first
distilled in England eighty-years ago. but
1t was not until 1856, the date of the dis
covery of the first aniline colors, thst the
industry became an important one. Now
the value of the by-products of gas-mak-
ing-tar, coke and ammonia-greatly ex-
ceeds that of the coal burned in the gas
works The distillation of the tar gives
a series of products. each of which serves
as a starting point for a long series of
valuable articles of everyday use.
In the United States the tar is usually
the pitch remaining in the still is known
distilled into light oil, heavy oil and
pitch as soft pitch, and is used in roofing
and paving. Formerly it was customary
to turn this substance to hard pitch,
which was sent abroad to be used in the
making of compressed fuel. The anthra-
Gene oil obtained by this distillation was
sent to England to be used in making
alizarin. But it does not pay to make
anthracene in America now. An Amer
lean has patented a method of making an
artificial asphalt from the pitch, and it
seems not improbable that the asphalt
industry will be revolutionized by this
process.
Creosote oil Is a coal tar product,
which, owing to it's extensive use in creo-
soting lumber, is coming into great de-
mand. OF the refined products benzine is
one of the most common. The presence
of twenty times las much benzine in the
coal gas as there is in the tar has led to
the Introduction of process for removing
benzine from the gas. Toluene, used in
making artificial indigo, is also obtained
by this process. Naphthaline is another
coal tar element produced on a large
scale. 1t is used as a substitute for cam
phor in destroying moths. Another pro-
duct is crystal carbolic acid, or phenol,
the chief use of which is in the manufac-
ture of picric and salicylic acids.
Nitrobenzine, nitrotoluene and other nj
tro-compounds from coal tar are used IN
making colors and explosives. Rectified
nitrobenzine. known as oil of myrbane, is
used in the manufacture of soaps and
oils. Aniline oil Is made in. great guam
titles abroad and European competition
in aniline colors is very keen. The long
list of coal tar products, including per-
fumes, indictments, antiseptics. aniline
dyes, ETC., is a remarkable illustration of
what can be done in the utilization of a
waste product.

WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE,
Macon. Ga.

This College, which has the honor of
being the oldest college in the world for
women. Is one of the very few institu-
tions in the South that is doing real,
high-grade, college work. The teachers
in its Literary, Music Art and Elocu-
ton Departments are all specialists, and
have been carefully selected from two
continents.
The institution had nearly four hun.
dred students last year, and did not have
a vacant room in Its Boarding Depart
ment, though a new Experimentation
lar brick dormitory. accommodating one
hundred additional students. had just
been erected. Another big overflow is in
sight for this fall. and the Trustees have
authorized the erection of another build
ing. Young ladies who desire admission
to this tims-honored institution will do
wen to write early to the President. Df.

The Wesleyan has seven large rooms de-
voted TO the department of Natural
