Li- J was th3 question recently put by a writer to a, large manufacturer of mirrors in Now York. 1 "Well." replied tho manufacturer; i i i "most of the glass used in the trade is prepared for us, at a molding fac tory,! and we merely cut, bevel and silver it in our worka. All the bev- els are cut in the same way first with' Band and waer, tb en on an krds put emery wneel ana alter w ugh several processes to bring back the polish. uGr?at improvements have bsrn made in this line of business in the last 16 yeara. Formerly itjtook two or three days from the time work waa begun OD a mirror j before it could be finished. Nowadays we can gat the glass in the morning and make it into a looking glaes perfectly finished and ready tor sale D3l(re night. We make all sizes, from the smallest hand gla s of 2 by 4 inches to a mirror 10 by 20 feet,or even larger, and we have a capacity of turning out 3,000 feet a day. 'jlfot many years rgo thb backs of mirrors were coated with mercu ry. Now sheets of pure silver are UBed instead. The old looking glass reflected 60 or 65 per 1 cent, of the lignt that fell upon it; the modern mirror reflects nearly 95 per cent. The mercury looking glass was very liable to rub off. Heat ) and cald also affected it. The quicksilver would crack or melt, and thug the baauty of the glass would ba spoiled" None of these dangers threaten the silvered mirror. Besides mirrors, those engaged in this line of busi ness cut a great deal of beveled glass for doors and windows. In fine buildings this is largelyj taking the ace of stained glass.
