MIRRORS FROM PLATE GLASS
Process Is a Somewhat Complicated
One and Calls for High
Degree Of Skill.

Mirrors are made from plate glass.
The proper ingredients are mixed
together and melted In large pots. The
molten mass Is then poured out on
great iron tables and heavy roller
flattens out the glass to the desired
thickness, The sheets are then an
nealed which consists of heating them
slowly in various chambers kept at
different temperatures. This Is for
the purpose Of relieving unnatural
strain in the formed glass, which
makes 1t extremely brittle, so that a
mere touch is sometimes sufficient to
cause the plate to break. After the
glass has been cut to the proper size
the sheets are polished by rubbing
over the surface pads or small disks
until the finished product Is about half
the thickness Of the original. The
glass is then ready to be used for
show windows, or can be made into
mirrors
The back Of the sheet Of plate glass
Is "sllvered." In the early processes
this did not mean what the word indi-
Gates for no silver was used, but a
mixture Of tin and mercury The high
cost of mercury and the danger Of
mercurlal poisoning brought about its
replacement by silver which is used
in the form Of lunar caustic. While
silver Is an expensive metal, the
amount required to coat even a large
mirror Is so small that the cost ia of
no moment.

CHARACTER SHOWN IN YOUTH
General Sherman, as Boy, lnslsted
on Retaining Name Given Him
by His Father.

General Sherman, whose middle
name was Tecumseh, is the only not
ed man In American national history
to bear an admittedly Indian name
In his case the name was selected by
his father, Judge Charles Sherman.
because he admired the genius and
The character of the noted Indian chief
whO'bore that name.
A story Is told that when Sherman
was brought to Presbyterian preach.
er, not long after his fathers death,
to be baptized, the preacher demurred
to giving In Christian baptism to a
! child the name of heather Indian,
and, but for the inslstence Of the boy
himself, 1t would probably have been
dropped.
Sherman, who was In his ninth year
when his father died. knew that his
father liked the name Tecumseh and
admired the character and genius of
the old chief, and that he had not
lightly bestowed the name on his son.
He therefore entered strenuous OBJ
lection to the proposition thus sum
marlly to drop that part Of his name,
and finally took the position that UNI
less the name was retained he would
have none Of the sacrament of bap-
tlsm. His wishes we're acceded to by

One Of the most curious Illustrations
Of the working Of intelligence in plants
Is offered by the mistletoe, whose
sticky berry, finding Iodgment on Il
tree branch, throws out a tiny rOotlet,
which tries to pierce the bark and
thus obtain a rOothold. II the bark Is
too tough, the rootlet swings the berry
over to a fresh spot and makes an
other trial. In this way such a berry
has been known to make five jumps
