FROSTING GLASS. 
The most accomplished artisan cannot frost 
a pane of glass after the style of yesterday 
morning’s fancy work. Put the two pieces of 
work side by side, and look at them through 
a magnifying glass, and then see how poor the 
imitation is. 
We notice that a patent was granted in 1851 
for frosting the surface of glass plates, by 
placing the plate flat on the bottom of a box 
made to rock like a cradle, and then covering it 
with sand, pebbles, and water. The rocking 
motion caused the sand and pebbles to slide 
munition to the South Americans. Its shells 
are not dangerously explosive, but are used, 
gnmg greater room for variety, as well as permanently planted, that the pruning of pyr- mcnt fo fountain pens.

But, the Towel Gourd, Lvjfa JEgyptiaca, is 
used both as wadding for guns and as a sponge. 
The Bottle Gourds are well known—and the 
epidermis of the Andromachia igniaria (Qui¬ 
to,) used as tinder, is only one of a numerous 
list of similar substances. The spathe which 
protects the flowers of Maximiliana regia, is 
used as a canoe; the natives paddle themselves 
across a stream in one, and then throw it aside. 
A specimen in the gallery is seven feet six inch¬ 
es in length and nineteen inches in breadth.— 
There is also a pair of vegetable bellows 
made of the leaves of a tree, and used for 
smelting iron by the natives, south of the Soue 
river, India. The Sand-box, Hara crepilens 
of Jamaica, affords a natural alarum. It has 
a large circular seed vessel, which, unless con¬ 
fined with a string or wire, splits into a number 
of pieces, and scatters its contents with a sound 
loud enough to wake a sleeping botanist
