Glass POLISHING.

Glass grinding is effected by tn,
use OF emery powder of various de
grees of fneness. But it has beer
shown that this grinding cannot be
carried beyond a certain point
however fine a powder may be used
In fact, continuation of it undoes
the work and breaks the surface up
again. The most finely ground
plate, if largely magnified. is shown
70 te covered with tiny bits which
no grinding will remove. The work
Is therefore continued with rouge
carried on pad of rosin, which
gradually smooths down the eleya-
tons between the pits. Hydro
fuoric acid gas corrodes glass very
rapidly, but a weak solution of il
melts away the roughened surface
and leaves fine polish underneath.
This method is used where very
tine adjustments of the surface are
for instance, in lenses

VIE Wives Were Sold.

When IL var between Britain and
France etc In 1915 many of the Eng
lish soldiei found that their wives
had married again in the belief that
they were widows. The formal SELL
ing OF the wife was regarded among
the ignorant as legal solution to the
problem thus presented. and it is said
that the authorities of the day deemed
it best to shut their eyes at the pro-
ceeding. A certain amount OF formal
ity had TO be observed. however be-
fore the sale was considered legal even
by the most ignorant. A Yorkshire
writer mentions two conditions which
must be carried out TO make a salts
factory sale-the price of the wife
must not be less than l shilling GA
cents, and she must be delivered to
her purchaser with new halter around
her neck The same writer records the
case of the woman who Zealously pre-
served the receipts for herself as a
proof of responsibility.

the same reply. Somewhat annoyed
the traveller called the station master
and told him the story, stating that he
full well knew the difference between
geese and ducks.
