COW CLIPPED GLASS IS 1IADE
Process Is Very Interesting Thoug,
Not at All Complicated.

IIoceSS IS very Interesting Iloasa
Not at All Complicated.
The eycr-increasing use Of
forms Of glass which will serve as
a screen and yet admit Il maxi
mum amount of light, makes the
study Of their manufacture all
interesting one. The form most
generally used, says L. w. Sharp.
in tie Scientific American, is
known as Clipped glass. In the
manufacture Of Clipped glass the
second grade is used; such i'm
PROJECTIONS as biisters Or piEples,
called stones, do not affect the
quality Of the finished product.
The large sheets are first placed
on a platform and passed slowly
under q powerful sand blast ef
file white sand, such as is used in
glass making. In a couple of min
utes they emerge with the glaze
cut from the surface, and are
known as ground glass, and much
is sold in this form.
The sheets are then coated on
the ground surface with a high
grade glue in liquid form, Ameri-
can or Swiss being considered
best. They are then carried to the
drying room and placed on racks,
where they lie fiat until the glue
is we'll dried, which takes from y
to Is hours. They are then placed
in the chipping rooms, which are
five feet deep by six high, and as
long as the size of the building
will permit. They are divided by
light frame partitions into spaces
sufficient to admit two sheets of
glass standing on edge with the
coated surfaces outward. Coils
of steam pipe run under the
frames holding the glass, and
when the heat is turned on, and
as the glue reaches it's driest
point, it curls up in pieces from
the size of a finger nail to a cou-
pie OF inches long by an inch wide.
The glue adheres SO closely to the
ground surface that in pulling
loose a film of glass is taken with
1t. The result is the beautiful.
1ern-l1ke tracery, familiar to all
who have noticed this kind of
glass. About sc hours is required
Tor it to peel off clean, and thus
complete the process of single
chipping. For double chipping
the glue is applied to the rough
surface without sanding, as the
surface is sufficiently rough to
hold the glue. 1t is then passed
through the same process, but
the chips RI smaller and break

edly, as is also the sand. The

into a pit underneath, and it is

Quieting q Bully.

A man was brought up in a pro-
yisional court on a charge of stealing
sack of -four and was very severely
handled by the prosecuting lawyer,
who had once made himself notorious
by going into bankruptcy, which was
the only means by which he could es-
cape his debts.
''You admit that you stole the sack
of four?' questioned counsel sternly.
Eyes, but / took it honestly and in
broad daylight to save my children
from starvati on," pleaded the prisoner.
You call that honestly, do you?''
sneered the lawyer. II call it amaZ-
ing impudence. Stealing is stealing
from whatever point of view you care
to look at it,
"Just SO, mister, but it don't allus
bring the same punishment" retorted
the man in the dock. 'For instance,
I shouldn't have been here now if I'd
done as you used to do-bought, or or
dered, the flour and never paid for it"'
And even the magistrate chuckled
behind his papers at the bullying law

A bookseller in New York city tells
story which admirably illustrates
the tact and humor of Bernard Qua
ritch, the London dealer in books and
manuscripts. The New York man Wis
tied Quaritch's shop for the purpose Of
obtaining a number of valuable scien-
titic works. After making his selection
he stepped up to Mr.. Quaritch and
asked the price. AS Mr.. Quaritch be-
gan to quote the figures the American
interrupted him, saying: "But / am a
dealer myself. What are the trade
prices?" "Oh," replied the famous
bookman, 81 thought you were a gen.
tlnman." The American was taken
aback for a moment, but only for mo-
ment. for Mr.. Quaritch held out his
hand and said smilingly: But l am
delighted to find that you are not only
q gentleman, but a dealer as we'll. The
trade discount is one-third Off"

An Oriental Love Letter.

English is put to strange and eloquent
uses in the orient. Here, for instance,
is a letter addressed to a native gentle
man by youth seeking the hand of
his daughter:

Dear Sir-It is with faltering penman-
ship that I write to have communication
with you about the prospective condition
Of your damsel offspring. For some re-
mote time to past a secret passion has
firing my bosom internally with loving for
your daughter. 1 have navigated every
channel in the magnitude of my extensive
jurisdiction to cruelty smother the grow
ing love knot that is being constructed in
my withinsde but the humid lamp of af-
lection trimmed by Cupids productive
hand still nourishes my love sickened
heart Needless would it be for me to
numerically extemporize the great con-
flagration that has been generated in my
head and heart. Hoping that having de-
bated this proposition to your pregnant
mind you will concordantly corroborate
in espousing your female progeny to my
tender bosom and thereby acquire me into
your family circle. Your dutiful son-in-
law.
