that those two States had done the most
stealing. The moneyw hich comes in from
conscicncesstricken peopie is on account
of frauds on the customs, frauds under
the old income tax law, or on the
revenue, The income tax having been
abolishied some years ago, contributions
on it& account are very few now
The first record of money received by
the government from repentant de-
frauders was in 1863. When General
Spinner was treasurer he kept the ac.
count separately, but the practice was
discontinued. The money now, as it
has been for the greater number of VOArs
sine 1863, when the contributions be.
gan, is turned into the tregsury as mis.
cellaneous receipts. Repeated attempts
have been made by members of Con-
gress to secure appropriations to be paid
out of the conscience fund. If the
noney goes into the treasury as miseel
laneous receipts it coases to be a sep
rate fund, and cannot be drawn upon.
It is not known how much the con
science money now amounts to. The
total amount from December 1, 183, to
June 30, 1874, as given in ths treasurer's
report for the latter year, was S162 914.
Since then no account of the contribu~
tions has been kept. Treasurer Gil
fillan, however, estimates that the
money now foots up $350,000,
The contributions, as a rule, come
through the mail with a note sayin: tor

Potatoes Grown Without Planting.
A French gentieman, I.
declares that he can produce proliferous
potatoes at will— » conclusion based on
the following ex» rience: Last spring
Lie placed a moderate tuber on a
cellar shelf, and systematically pinched
off the sprouts every week. On the 1st
of September the rind burst, and a few
days after four or five small potatoes
appeared. His explanation is thatthe
constant repression of exterior growth
caused this internal development of
buds. Anybody can try this interesting
experiment. Whether this singular
tendency can be turned to any practical
account remains to be seen. he young
tubers are developed at the expense of
the mother tuber, as is proved by the
gradual disappessance and shriveling
of the tissues of the latter. but when
separated they will grow independently
just as any whole seed potato or set
ould do. It is just possible that seed
potatoes so produced might have some
adv antage over others produced in the
ordinary. way, especially for forcing
urposes. As a matter of physiological
significance this cuse is paralleled by
the occasional production of internal
buds in trees, and which owing to their
iruperfect dev velopment, produce the
knots which are commonly met
with.

How Spectacles are Made,
A writer in the Philadelphia Pres
says: The white lens in use in the
ordinary spectacle of commerce is mad le
of the common window pane g! Inss rolled
in sheets; somotimes is made into
balls. From these are cut pieces of
about one and = quarter to one and a
half inches in size; they are then taken
into the grinding room and esch piece
cemented separstely upon what is called
a lap of a semi-circular shape. These
are made to fit io a corresponding
curve or saucer, into which fine emery
powder is introduced and subjected to a
swift rotary motion. The gradual curve
in the lap gives to the glass as it is
ground a corresponding shape, until the
desired center is reached ; the lap is then
taken out and subjected to warmth,
which melts the cement suffic’ently to
permit the glass being removed and
turned upon the opposite side, when the
SAME Process renewed. This being
completed, the lenses are detached again
from the Jap and taken to another de-
partment, where they are shaped to fis
the frames. This is accomplished by a
machine of extreme delicacy. Each
piece of glass is pul separately upon a
rest, when a diamond is brought to bear
upon it, moving in the form of an oval,
thus cutting the desired size: but the
edges, of course, are rough and sharp,
and must be beveled. For this purpose
they are turned over into another set of
hands, mostly girls, who have charge
of the grindstones, which are about six
inches in thickness. Each operntor is
provided with a gauge: the glass is
taken between the forefinger and thumb
and held sufficiently sideways to pro-
duce half the desired bevel; when this
is attained it is again turned and the
other side of the bevel completed,
During this process it is constantly
guaged in order to uscertain that the
frame will clos upon it without too
much pressure, which would break the
lens,
The next process to which the lens
is subjected is that of * focusing,” and

it to a dark background. The lens is
then moved back and forth upon an

with a heavy stone wall. This changed
the course of the flying iron. It ea-

on the James house, which it demol-

flying off to the ight and plowing
into the ground, making a furrow a foot

This closed the career of that part of

iron remained on Lindersmith's roof.
