Machine MADE Window Glass

It was long believed to be impossible
to make window glass by a mechanical
process, but American ingenuity has
overcome the obstacles, and tins glass
is now made, in all sizes and thick.
nesses, by the @Colburn process. Such
glass cannot I've made by pressure, be-
cause the surfaces thus produced are
imperfectly transparent. The method
of allowing the molten glass to fall
through a narrow slit was also tried
without success, for the surfaces be-
came striated. The process of draw
ing, by lifting the molten glass in
sheets, was finally adopted. But this
required many ingenious devices to pre.
vent the glass from contracting into
coIumnar, or cylindrical, forms. All
these difficulties have been overcome.
so that it is no longer necessary to pro.
duce transparent sheets of glass solely
by the old blowing methods.

A Letter From Florida.
Miami. Fla. Jan. 80. 100.

Miami, Fla, Jan. 80, 1909.
We started from home the 23d of De-
cember. Went to New York and took
the Steamer Iroquois for Jacksonville, leav-
ing at ! O'Clock. 1t was very rough for
about three hours along the Jersey coast.
1t was the remnants of the blizzard that
commenced OH the 22d, but after that we
had quite a calm voyage even around
Cape Hatteras where .'they say" it, is
generally pretty rough. We arrived at
at 7 o'clock, and took the train for
Miami at $50.
The tram service is very slow compared
with the North. After we left Jackson
vile, for miles and miles there was
nothing but pines and palmetto, shrub
palmetto and wire grass prairie on both
sides with now and them some shanties,
where the colored men lived who. extract
turpentiDe from the pine trees. They
shave them down OH the side towards the
sui and that draws the sap out of the
pines and they scrap it off and put it
in quarter barrel. 1t bring $3.50 per
barrel in the rough state. Before the tree
dies they cut it and saw it into lumber
so they get two profits from it.
They finish all of their houses with
this fine lumber inside instead of plaster
ing them. Some is dark and some is
light and it is very nicely grained and
they mix it and after it is oiled and
vanished it makes a very nice finish.
They build their chimneys all out doors
on one side of the house as they only need
fire for cooking purposes.
1t has been very warm ever since we
came down, rs and 80 degrees until to-
day it is so cool we had to shut the doors
and windows and put on extra wraps.
We did not see much difference in the
atmosphere until we reached Jackson
vile then we had to dispose of our furs
and winter wraps.
After we had travelled almost two
hundred miles we began to feast our eyes
OIL grape fruit, oranges, lemons,
tangerine groves, pinapple and coca
nuts. A field of pinepples in bloom is a
beautiful sight. They bare a red bios.
SOM and so many fruits l did not know
the name of but have learned since. A
| gentleman told me there was 100 kinds OF
citrous fruit raised here. We arrived at
DANA about II O'Clock at night. We
stopped and staid with Messrs. Somers,
Doughten and Justice a few days. Mr..
Justice is one Of your citizens. I'VE had
a very pleasant visit with them.
DANA is a small village of about 500
inhabitants. Most of the people are
northern men, come down to raise toma-
toes. Some are picking, some are out in
blossom and some are just setting them
out. I guess they can raise them here
the year round. In the southern part Of
the state the soil is white rock and black
sand. 10 look at it you would not think
that anything would grow in it. They
blast the rock and make roads OF it. Il
makes a ine hard white road nice fol
carriages, automobiles or wheels. They
ride wheels here from the child five year
old to the gray hair man and woman
Miami is a beautiful city of 1000 inhabi
tants. In my next l will describe it.

Our public sch6ois

/ The midyeaf examinations OF the
public schools OF Salem county are be.
ing conducted this week. The object OF
this examination are to enable pupils
who failed last year in one or two suo-
lects and we're promoted to the next
higher grade to complete the subject or
subjects in which they we're conditioned
1t does not appear entirely falr 10
compel a pupil who has failed III only
n or two subjects to spend another year
in the same grade.
Again, the eighth grade class are ex
pected to pass an examination i'll all the
subjects OF that grade as a proper Gre
Dental for admission to the high school.
There are twelve subjects in this grade;
n to expect the class to carry these
subjects throughout the entire year
ould be too great a strain upon both
teachers and pupil. Therefore, while a
part OF the subjects such as arithmetic,
English grammar, U. s.. history and
geography are pursued the entire year
other subjects are divided into half
year subjects. "A part are taken dur
ing the first half Of the year and the
remaining subjects during the second
half. 1t the pupils pass a creditable
examination in the subjects for the first
hall OF the year at tile midyear ex.
animation, the subjects for the second
half OF the year may be taken up with
greater interest. Such a plan meets the
approval of our leading educators.
In the high school the the examination
in SOME subjects may be divided. Inthe
classical course the second year class are
expected to read four books of Caesars
Gallo War. Two books are usually
completed at the time OF the midyear
examination and the pupils are given All
examination in these books, and, if
successful, it is necessary to pass only in
the remaining two books at the close of
the school year.
The work of the third year class in Lat
in is six orations of Cicero. A part of
these orations are given at the mid-year
test and the remainder at the close OF the
year. The fourth year or graduation
class are expected to read six books of
Virgil's Aenied. Our class this year will
take three hooks at the nidyear test and
the remainder in the spring. If a pupil
fail i'll the midyear test in one or more
subjects he or she may have another trial
at the close of the year.
Quite a large number of very creditable
papers have been prepared by the pupils
of our school, which, together with the
interest observed by the teachers clearly
Indicates a desire OIL the part OF the pu-
pills to earn promotion to the next higher
grade. As a whole, the midyear exami-
nation produces very profitable results.
1t is earnestly hoped that all parents will
cooperate with the teachers and thereby
deepen their interest in the progress of
u school to the end that our school
shall maintain her stand among other
hools of her class. Parents and citizens
will always be welcomed in any of the
departments. Make a visit to the school
and we feel SURE you will come again and
bring your friends with you.

Cannon Saves Powder Price
Washington, D. c.. >,

Washington, ID. g., Feb. z.
When it comes to crucial points IN
the legislative game "Uncle Joe'' is al
ways on the job. In the last stages of
the consideration of the Army Appro.
priation bill, of which Representative
Hull, of Iowa, wash charge, Represen-
tative Fitzgerald, a New York
was trying to-day to have the
measure sent back to the Committee ON
Military Affairs to fix the price for pow.
der at "a instead of 81 cents.
This attempt to reduce the profits of
the Powder Trust did not appeal to
"Uncle Joe." He attempted to ignore
Mr.. Fitzgerald and put the bill on it's
final passage. But Mr.. Hull did not
make the necessary motion. So the
Speaker, by way of prompting, remark
ed:
1.-The gentlemen from Iowa moves
that the third reading of the bill be dis
pensed with and the bill be placed upon
its passage, and on that motion he
moves"
The Speaker was about to add "the
previous question" when Mi. Fitzger-
aid became 81 clamOrOus that the Spea-
ker could no longer ignore him. "Mr.
Speaker''the Brooklyn member exclaim-
ed, 81 don't think the presiding officer
ought to intimate in that way that the
gentleman from Iowa is neglecting his
duty o. the floor.
There was derisive laughter from the
Democratic side at this, and Mr.. Hull.
realizing what was expected of him,
moved the previous question, and the
Army bill was passed without the pow.
