Upon the Manufacture of Glass. Bottles, black or green, are the most simple of all glass manufacture—the profits in making which depends upon the greatest number of workmen being employed at the smallest expense of fuel. From eight to sixteen blowers can work all at once, at one melting furnace, six feet diameter, which will take six cords of wood every twenty four hours. The best constructed green glass furnace in this country is in New Jersey—where the whole business of smelting, blowing, and cooling is done with one fire, by the particular construction of the furnace.

White glass may also be made in the same furnace: but it is much more curious in its composition; for to make it white, it must partake of all the colours—for this reason—in smelting the purest materials, they naturally have a greenish and purplish tinge; to dislodge which a blackish fossil substance is made use of—upon this principle, that one colour in glass making will destroy another; so that at last a beautiful glass is produced called white; but like the christaline humor of the eye, it partakes of all the colours, as may be seen in the best English white glass which has a changeableness like soap bubbles; but in the best London crown glass, or mirrours, you will not perceive any of that sparkling, changeable power, because it would destort the object seen through or reflected, on account of the refracting power of such glass; therefore this glass is made of pure salts and sands only and has a native greyish colour, as may be seen by the broken pieces that, like water, they may reflect the objects truly.

Crown glass may be made here to greater profit than any other glass—on account of the plenty and cheapness of materials—the quantity that can be made—and the great consumption of it—The method of making which—form and deimensions of the furnace—preparation of the materials—I shall waive for particular reasons.

Lamps.—A Cheap Light, Just unpacked an assortment of Genuine air-tight Agitable Lamps, for sale at No. 169, Pearl-street nearly opposite the U.S. Bank by John J. Staples & son.

These lamps are well worth the attention of every consumer of candles, as they give a much better light at less than half the expence.

The peculiar advantage of this invention is, that it entirely removes the original objection to lamps, which was the great inconvenience of spilling oil; but it is curious in these, that in the most violent motion held horizontal, or even inverted, the oil cannot escape, and by their being made air tight, the oil (like the quick-silver in a weather glass) is defended from the pressure of the atmosphere, which as well as preventing its coagulating, causes it to slip much lighter and further to the burners, burn brighter, and if properly trimmed with fresh cotton and fine oil, will not want snuffing while burning through twelve or fourteen hours continuance.

They will not only give as much clear light and less smoke than candles, but are cleaner and safer, which makes them fit for parlours, bed-chambers, halls, stair cases, and extremely useful for kitchens, stores manufactories, and on board ship. Their simplicity, and easy manner of trimming, and particularly the small quantity of oil they burn, renders it an object universally to be adopted for every place where light is required.—American Minerva, February 12, 1795.
