Very few years at nothing would
please but ithiss blown to tho utmost
thinness, either plain or rngraved with
ornamental desiKiis, but now we have
returned to tho heavy faceted ilecnntcru
and goblets, which wo were brought up
to despise. Which is the stricter tiiste't1
Undoubtedly that which wo have just
discarded for tliu Kpcciul quality of glass,
which can ho rivaled in m other mate
rial, is its transparency nnd capacity for
being blown into exceeding lightness.
When cut into facets, tho former quality
is Impaired, tho latter in not displayed.
uml tho object depends for bpnuty on its
brilliancy, in which it competes nt a dis
advantage with rock crystal. Tho virtue
of an nrt cousiuts net less in bringing out
the highest quality of material than in
revealing tho mind of tho artist. Hlat k-

Hulling llown a Kiiefirllf
An old ncwspaiier man in Washington
tells this story of Sir. Illume:
"My llrtft experience with Mr. ISlaine
was when, as correspondent for u west
ern paper, 1 endeavored to get him to
withdraw from tho ofllcial reporters of
tho house u Kiieech which ho had mailo.
in order that I might make an abstract
of it.
'"How much of this do you want to
nseV Mr. lilamo linked.
"1 replied t lint I thought I would send
about half of it.
" 'Then I will nmko nn abstract my
self,' Mini he, 'niducing it one-half. 1 do
not doubt your skill, hut 1 want thip
speech boiled down by its friends.'"

neither waited for tho car to stop but

Natural Gas Itslura n New Imw Queatioii.
A resolution was introduced in tho city
conncil tonight to begin a suit, for dam
ages, involving several hundred thousand
dollars, against the Northwestern Ohio
Natural Gas company, which has its
wells in this county adjoining those of
the city, and which supplies, the city of
Toledo with gas. Tho resolution is the
result of a long study of the legal nsjiect
of the case by Mr. Alexander, who intro
duced it, and upon his recommendation
it was referred to the city solicitor, who.
it is understood, is in favor of vigorous
ly prosecuting the suit. As the rock
prcssnre has gradually decreased, the
Northwestern company has introduced
three immense pumps at a station six
miles from t'.to city, nt a cost of toO.OtiO,
in order to forco tho gas through tho
40 miles of pipo snd suck it from tho
ground. This has greatly injured the
city's territory, nnd the claim will bo
mado that the nse of artificial means to
got the gas from under the contiguous
territory of the city is illegal. Tho ques
tion has never been raised in the courts

Another Airship Invented.
Another airship has been projected by
M. GrensfeWer, who has just received
his patent papers from Washington. The
ship is a cigar shaped nffnir. 100 feet
long and 80 feet in diameter. It will
hold 85,000 cubio feet of gas and carry
2,800 pounds. The feature of the inven
tion is that it can be steered. There are
several mechanical innovations for which
great results are promised. The inven
tion varies from most airships in thnt it
can float in the water. The framework
will be of steel or aluminium, the ribs
being covered by a light airtight cover,
which will receive several coats of var
nish. The gas will be stored in a cham
ber at each end, and there will be space
left for a cabin in the middle. In this
cabin the electric motor, anchor and all
the other mechanism will find a lodg
ment. A strong partition will separate
the machine and passenger quarters.

slight cut in the face which he gut while

A Grrut Sfiwon For Maple Sugar.
"Unless I am greatly mistakon," snid
Loren Cnshman yesterday, "the coming
spring will bo a great season for mapk
sugar making. It is well known to thosftt
who havo engaged in that business that
a good season always follows a winter
that furnishes abnndance of cold weath
er. Tho maple sap is always sweeter
after a period of intense frost and fur
nishes a larger percentage of sugar. Not
only that, but tho trees yield a lurer
quantity of sap after a cold winter than
they do after a winter that has frequent
thaws and periods of warm weather.
Tho biiow in our county is very dorp,
and unless remarkably warm weather
should como it will bo 011 tho ground
until well along in April. Thero is such
nn immense body of it that Rngjyr mak
