Keeps Ferrets to Clear Ont the Rats When Tliey Annoy Guests. "Recently I had an experience with rats that I will not soon forget," said D. B. Turks of Fredericksburg, Va. "It happened in this way: I was travel-, ing through Alabama and landed in a small town worn out after a day's over land travel in a broken down buggy and sought the only tavern the town boasted. After I Iiad been in bed about 15 minutes I was startled to hear strange and curi ous noises, the most unnatural in" sound I had ever heard. I immediately proceeded to investigate the cause of this midnight disturbance and lit the candle, the only illuminant procurable, and to my surprise beheld ten of the largest rats, in my opin ion, ever seen. They ranged in size from an average squirrel to an ordinary dog. Not the least fear was manifested by these rats. They deliberately surveyed me and continued the work of eating my shoes. One large fellow, evidently mas ter of cerenxonies, was bold enough to at tempt to bite me. This affront was more than I could stand. "Jumping back into bed, I screamed for the landlord, who, after being awak ened from a drunken sleep, sloiy shuf fled np to this chamber of horrors, digni fied as a room, and contemptuously in quired the cause of the racket. After etating the nature of the trouble he 'al lowed he would settle it in short order. In about ten minutes rats poured into the room in droves to the number of about 150, all sizes and conditions, large and small, lean and fat. all squeaking and ap parently frightened. I thought some thing unusual must have transpired, when my suspicions were confirmed by the arrival of several ferrets whose eyes sparkled with glee at the slaughter they proceeded to institute. "As soon as"! 'collected myself after the execution I hast( :ied out of the room and made myself as comfortable as "possible in a chair, waiting for day to break, that I could shake the town. Although I made my escape in carpet slippers, it was one of the happiest incidents of my life. The landlord evidently thought nothing of the occurrence. He said it happened very often, and he always kept a supply of ferrets to clean the rats out when they became unmanageable and too annoying to his guests." Washington Post. THE WEEKLY. GAZETTE.

Description of Delicate and Complicated Process, Which, by the Way, Is SnrrouAed With Much Secrecy. The making of big lenses has for near ly two centuries been a most, jealously guarded monopoly of Paris, the process being surrounded with a good deal of se crecy. The lenses used in the great tele scope at the Paris exposition , measure 49 inches in diameter, and those of the Yerkes telescope 40 inches, and the story of their manufacture by M. Mantois will give a very good idea of the difficulties the maker of lenses has to contend with. A crucible of the proper capacity, hav ing been bricked into the oven situated di rectly over the furnace the mouth of the crucible only being left exposed is heat ed very gradually for about 30 hours or so, when it becomes white hot. t is then ready to receive the glass producing sub stances. These are thrown in, a small shovelful at a time, and very soon begin hto bubble and boil at a tremendous rate. Were too much thrown in at once the mixture would boil over just like milk and be lost. To fill the crucible complete ly, therefore, if it be one of some size, takes nearly 24 hours. After it is filled the contents are allowed to go on simmer ing for another ten hours or so, at the end of which time the crucible resembles a vat of frothy soapsuds. Up to now it has been mere child's play. The real heating has not begun. The fur nace being put in full blast, the tempera ture in-the crucibles rises until it is some times as much as 3,300 degrees Fahren heit. At a temperature such as 'this the lens maker may consider himself fortu nate if the bricks of the oven do not melt and the crucible itself crumble away. Should no such catastrophe occur, how ever, the period of intense heating is con- j tinued for from 20 to 30 hours, during which time small ladlef uls of the seeth- j ing liquid are taken out every few min utes and rapidly cooled. They have the ' form when cold of half glass balls, and each of them is minutely examined with , powerful magnifying glasses and in every ; kind of light to see whether it contains ' air bells. So long as the smallest bubble is detected the heating has to be con tinued. At last, when all the specimens have been found to be perfectly free from air bells, the heat of the furnace is reduced, and the liquid in the crucible is skimmed of all the impurities which have risen like scum and are floating on the surface, Now begins one of the most difficult parts of the process. This is the stirring and mixing. The substances of which glass is composed are always tending to separate from each other while the mass is cooling. This it is that causes the for mation of threads. To counteract this tendency, therefore, a stirring rod of clay, raised itself to white heat in a sep arate furnace, is introduced into the crucible, over which it is suspended by a system of chains and rods in such a way 1hat it can be moved easily in any direc tion, just as if it were a huge spoon. The contents of the crucible at this mo ment are as fluid as water, and the work men whose task it is to keep the stirring rod in motion have at first only to suffer from the heat. This is so intense that they are obliged to incase their hands and arms in asbestus bags, and even so cannot work for a longer spell than five minutes at a time, when they have to be replaced by others. The perspiration rolls down their foreheads in such streams as to completely deprive them of sight for a time. As the temperature decreases the con; tents of the crucible gradually grow thicker and thicker at first like treacle, then almost of the consistency of dough the stirring at last being, of course, ex cessively difficult. During the whole operation, which lasts on an average from 10 to 15 hours, the testing of specimens for air bells has to go on as before, and if by chance any are found the stirring has to be stopped and the whole boiling process begun over again. When, however, the stirring is consid ered to have been continued long enough, the crucible is allowed to cool very rapdly for about five or six hours, until the sur face of the contents, being lightly rapped with a piece, of iron, gives forth a metal lic ring. Were the cooling to be continued as rapidly as it had begun, the glass would be so brittle that at the slightest shock it would fly into 10,000 morsels. The crucible is now, therefore, complete ly walled up and is not allowed to grow cold for at least a fortnight and some times, when large lenses ure in question, for six weeks or more. At last the oven is opened and the glass is round lying witnm tne crucioie m lumps of varying size. It is verv seldom that fflOfe than half Of each of the blocks of glass taken tima4 the crucibles is free from filaments The thready parts are cut. chipped or grdund away and the remaining lumps of pure glass placed in clay molds and put in ovens, the temperature of -which is raised to what is comparatively nothing (for glass) viz, about 1,500 degrees F. The heat, in fact, must be sufficient to soften tbe glass and make it take the form of the mold. Should it be raised beyond a certain point, so that the glass bemes fluid once more and boils, iL is loet. After it has been molded and cooled, with the same precautions as were adopt ed in the first instance for the crucible, the lens is roughly polished on the edges, examined with greater care than ever, and, if found free from flaws, is finally handed over to the optician to be polished and made ready for the telescope. A large lens, it will be clear from what precedes, can only be made from a large block of pure glass, and it is not every day that large enough blocks can be ob tained. Lenses, for instance, of a diam eter of 49 Inches weigh in crown glass when completed over 700 pounds and coat $15,000.
