SOME LARGE BOTTLES.

Incite* in "W Id til.
In attempting to turn out a huge bot
tle to send to the St. Louis exposition,
the glass blowers of Alton, 111., have
turned out four glass bottles with a
capacity of 'ls gallons fai ii, which are
believed to be the largest bottles ever
blown.
Monro Miller made the first big bot
tle. Other glass blowers then strove
to outdo him. and attempted to make a
big bottle, without a mold, in order to
give it greater size. Valentine Reinin
ger, Jesse Steelman, and John Metz un
dertook the task, and with onlyasliaper
to fashion the bottoms, they blew ves
sels capable of holding 45 gallons each.
It was a task of oue hour to make each
bottle.
Forty pounds of molten glass were
drawn from the furnace, and shaped on
the end of a long blowpipe. In order to
accomplish the feat, the glass had to
be reheated many times in the furnace
as it was being blown in a plastic
state to the size and shape desired.
Many unsuccessful attempts to form the
big bottles were made before complete
success was met.
All the air used in blowing the bot
tles made, about 11,000 cubic inches in
each, was supplied from the lungs of the
blowers, who were making them, one
man blowing the bottle alone. The
chief difficulty lay in keeping the neck
of the bottle hot and plastic, as it was
cooled quickest by the iron blowpipe.
Many bottles were made, but most of
them were spoiled in the operation, and
were discarded. The four perfect ones,
which have been preserved for exhibi
tion, stand nearly six feet high, and are
about 16 inches across at the bottoms.
The making of these big bottles is
recognized as a masterful feat in the
glass blowing trade. Glass blowers
from all'parts of the country have taken
great interest in the experiment, and
the makers of the bottles have received
many inquiries as to their methods. It
is a new line for rivalry, as it was here
tofore considered impossible to make
such big bottles, because of the difficul
ties in the way of the blowers handling
such a large mass of molten glass.—

In the Crimea scientists have been
making queer experiments with fruit
trees. Instead of trying to increase
their growth and yield bv-lieaping fer
tiliz< r around the roots, they have been
cuttingtinyholesinto their trunks and
Inserting saltS of iron in both solid and
liquid form. An account of these curi
ous experiments has been read before
the Imperial society recently, ami it
was declared by the men who have been
thus feeding the trees that the method
had proved itself to be highly success
ful. Photographs were shown of 900
trees that had been thus treated, and
the pictures appeared to prove the truth
of the allegations, for all the trees were
beautiful with foliage and flourishing
excellently.

NEW PLANT DISCOVERED.
IUo.MNomM Are I.ike a Tnrnn
tula anil (ii*r Oat a Deudly
Chloroform Odor.
A wonderful tree of unknown variety
has been discovered in a mountain can
yon in a spur of the San Jacinto moun
tains, down near the Mexican line.
The leaves of the tree resemble, in
size and shape, the fig leaf, but they are
of a vividly purple color, and the un
der side of the leaf is thickly covered
| with stiff hairs, which stand out from
i the leaf fully half an inch. These
] haire are sharp and thorn-like, and eas-
I ily penetrate the skin, and when they
| do so, they are poisonous, causing swell
i ing and much pain.
The blossoms are as peculiar as are
i the branches and leaves. They are of
; a rusty red color, and are about two
| inuhes in diameter. In shape they are
a very good representation of the taran
tula. There is a huge hairy bulb, in
i shape resembling the abdomen of tho
| poisonous spider, and there are several
| chives or stamen corresponding to tho
| legs of that insect.
The most peculiarfeaturesoftheplant,
however, remain to be told. When
i ever one approaches the plant or when
I the wind agitates the branches of the
I tree, the flowers give off an abundance
j of perfume—heavy, sickening and dead
| ly. This perftime has the quality of
chloroform, and a few inhalations of
the odor produces unconsciousness. The
) prospectors who made the discovery of
! the plant were rendered insensible upon
| approaching the tree to examine it.
As the plant seems to have no botan
; ical name, two names have been sug
gested by the qualities of the plant it
self. One is the "tarantula plant;" tho
other, "chloroform tree." —California

! ing or lowering the machine, and to as
sist in guiding it; a rudder in the cen
ter is the main steering device, and Mr.
Reiferscheid insists that the machine
1 ran b«- made to turn in its own length,
can rise to any height or descend at
will. A six horse power gasoline mo
tor will provide the motive power with
which to run all the machinery. The
balloon is to be inflated with hydrogen
gas and hermetrically sealed. It will
be far enough away from the gasoline
engine to obviate any possible danger
of explosion. Three safety devices are
provided against accident. The large
fans, it is contended, would permit the
i airship to descend in safety, in case tlie
; balloon collapsed. The framework about
the balloon would compel that to form a
parachute in tinse of a puncture permit
ting the air to escape, and the ship
would descend gracefully without tho
least danger—at least Mr. Reiferschcid
so declares.
The Chicago Chronicle says that Sev

machine assert that he has s *vetl lha

terior of Europe than here. A boy could
manage the motive power, and otherwise
inaccessible slopes of land, highly suit
able for special crops can be well culti
vated. The horse is considerable of a
nuisance anyway on land closely plant
ed with valuable fruit crops, however
.necessary he may be for extended agri
cultural operations, and it is possible to
imagine some such contrivance, utiliz
ing the power of a gasoline or other
easily managed engine, as a great con
venience in the intensive culture of
choice, closely planted crops, in level
places as well as hillsides. The horse
takes a good deal of room, he is not
careful of valuable plants, and the pack
ing of the soil by bis feet is not always
beneficial. Many truckers and growers
of high-grade fruits would doubtless
welcome a practical device that would
dispense with a horse in the row while
utilizing horse-power tools for cultiva
tion. —Rural New Yorker.
HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS.
En cm? cm of Miml Mi on Id I'nlte la n
Campaign for a Principle,
!\oJ for DctuilM.
One great reason for the prevalence of
bad roads throughout the United States
is lack of agreement and united action
among the advocates of improvement.
Everybody prefers goods roads to bad.
Everybody knows that the roads can be
improved only by the expenditure of
money and labor. But here the agree
ment ends. There is a great variety of
ideas and schemes for securing the de
sired object. There is no end of discus
sion, but very little is accomplished.
Some people would rather travel
through mud than to have the roads im
proved by any other plan than their own
"pet scheme." Thus road reformers
themselves sometimes actually hinder
the cause to which they are devoted.
If the roads of the country are to he
made good within the lifetime of the
present generation, it is high time the
advocates of good roads should unite in
support of a few general propositions,
and goto work in favor fif a general
plan. If a national good roads movement
ever gets started, nothing can stop it. It
will sweep everything before it. But the
difficulty is to get it started.
One great advantage possessed by the
na'ional aid plan, which is now becom
ing so popular, is that it is general in
stead of sectional or local. It is as broad
as the whole country. It can bring into
harmonious united action the friends of
good roads in every state, and it is the
only plan yet proposed that can do this.
The friends of national aid will make
o mistake if they undertake to work out
details in advance. They will difa-iroe
among themselves and five objections
every advantage. They should goto
work fur the general principle and leave
details to be worked out, later. This
was the. plan of action adopted by Glad
stone. When his opponents asked for
details of any great reform which he
advocated, Gladstone would answer:
"There will be time enough to work out
the details when we get the power."The
advocates of national aid will do well
to emulate the example of this great
English statesman. They should or
ganize everywhere and fight for the prin
ciple. leaving details to he worked out in
due time.
