THE WORK OF NOvICES.
Inventions That Have Worked Won
lers In GIassmaking.

In 1877 carpenter of Sandwich,
Mass. wanting piece Of glass of
particular size and shape, conceived
the idea that the molten metal could be
pressed into any form, much the same
as lead might be. writes William R.
Stewart In the Cosmopolitan. Up to
that time all glassware had been
blown either offhand Or in mold, and
considerable skill was required, and
the process was slow. The glass man
ufacturers laughed at the carpenter,
but he went ahead and built a press,
and now the United States is the
greatest pressed glassware country i'll
the world.
In 1880 novice in the plate glass in
dustry. Henry Fleckner Of Fittsburg.
whose only knowledge Of glass had
been acquired IN a window glass fac
tory, invented an annealing "lehr," the
most important single Improvement
ever introduced in plate glass manu-
facture. In three hours by the lehr the
same work is done which under the old
kiln system required three days.
About the same year Philip Argobast
of Pittsburg, also a novice in glass
making, invented process by which
bottles and jars may be made entirely
by machinery the costly blow oven
process being avoided ana the expense
of bottle making reduced one-half.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
The Way Two English men Captured
Four Hundred Prisoners.

Toward the close Of the pennsular
war 400 prisoners were captured by
John Colborne afterward Field Mar
shall Lord Seaton. Colborne, who was
wounded at Talavera, had been dis
abled for some time, but in 1913 he
was in active service again. and when
Wellington's army crossed the frontier
into France he performed what was in
deed the most amazing feat of his ca
reer
When riding, with no comrade but
the famous Sir Henry Smith. separated
from his column, he saw 400 French
soldiers passing along a ravine below
him. The only way was to put a
good face ON the natter he wrote.
$50 went up to them, desiring them
to surrender. The officer, thinking. of
course, the column was behind me, sur
rendered his sword, saying Electrically
'Je vous rends cette epee, qui a bien
fait son devoir.' 4 surrender this
sword, which has done it's duty well.)
The 400 followed his example," Sir
Henry Smith used to declare that he
had never seen such cool presence of
mind as Colborne displayed on this oc-
casion.

CarIyle's Picture of Rogers.

Carlyle gives this striking picture Of
Samuel Rogers, the poet: Il saw Rog-

whitest bare scalps; blue eyes, shrewd,
sad and cruel; toothless, horseshoe

slow, croaking, sarcastic insight per-

are welcomed even with fummery; in
ternally a 3luebeard's chamber, where
none but the proprietor enters!'

ANCIENT MIRRORS.
The Old Egyptians Made Theirs OF
Highly Polished Metal.

Wilkinson shows that we are in
debted for our mirrors to the ancient
Egyptians. At first they were made
Of metal, so we'll compounded and pol
ished that some recently dug up from
Thebes have regained a wonderful lus-
ter after burial for thousands of years.
Oval in shape, they were fastened to
carved wooden handles. References
are made to such looking glasses in
Exodus and Job. The Greeks and Ro-
mans made similar mirrors Of silver.
Pliny says that the earliest glass
mirrors were made of black volcanic
glass. Through the middle ages glass
backed with thin metallic sheets came
into use, and "bullseyes," or glass
globes into which while hot a metallic
mixture was blown for backing.
At Murano, near Venice, in the thir-
teenth century, the republic protected
the trade and jealousy guarded it's Sc
crets, securing a lucrative business for
a century and half. Mirrors were
then made from cylinders of glass fiat
tened on stone, carefully polished, bev-
eled at the edges and silvered by an
amalgam.

AS far as can be judged from the outline
of the new contract for city lighting, pub
lished in the Journal yesterday, it has been
drawn with care and with due reference to
present and future conditions. 1t is pre-
sumed those having charge of the matter
on behalf of the city have taken the best
expert advice obtainable on the subject and
investigated the contracts Of other cities.
The progress of electric lighting has been so
some of the latest improvements. The city
authorities can not depend on any of the
competing bidders notifying them of these
improvements or giving them any pointers
in regard to making a good contract for the
city. Their business is to look out for them
selves. and as they will have the advice of
the best experts and attorneys, the citys
interests shoul be equally well guarded.
Some features of the new contract are
distinctively progressive-among them one

village era and should have been abolished

should be lighted every night of the year.
from dusk to dawn, without reference to
lunar or terrestrial conditions.
The comparatively short life of the con-
tract, ten years, the provision requiring
payment of per cent. of the gross receipts
of the successful bidder into the city treas
ury, and that covering the city's optional
rights at the expiration of the contract. are
all in the direction of safeguarding the
city's interests. If they are not sufficiently
stringent, and if more of the same kind are
needed, the city attorney should see that
the necessary changes are made.

Thermite. n New Invention.

Herr Hans Goldschmidt, of Essen Germany.
has invented a compound which has the property
of producing intensely high temperatures in such
a way that they may be readily used for indus
trial purposes. This compound, which has been
aptly named thermite is made by combining, in
the proper proportions. oxygen, in the form of
oxides and aluminium, the metal found in COM
mon clay When these two substances are COM
bined and ignited an enormously high tempera-
ture is instantly obtained. The thermite is ig-
nited by putting in pinch of peroxide of
barium and a fuse is led to this and lit. The
oxygen contained in the oxide combines with the
aluminium, forming an aluminum-oxide. The
fused combination is hot enough to burn hole
with clean edges through iron plate of any
thickness according to the quantity of thermite
used, without heating the plate, except at the
point of perforation The material is not explo-
sive and if thrown upon a fire will not burn
