Mr. Calver, the maleer of tb* 37in. eilver

said to he one of the most perfect reflectors in

weighing nearly 3cwt., and the focus?17ft.

intended.
The machine I employed, says Mr. Calver,
was on a principle which was a modification
of that used by tlie Earl of Rosse. I have
made live different machines, one of which
waa on the primBIpa* used hy Mr. Liutscll?uti

Um tani work alika tba (Mined hand, nnd I was
gratified to leam, when in conversation with
Profeaaoa limper, of Raw-York, that his ex
luritiico agreed prcoiacilj nita my own on
this point. The tact that, whin polishing
specula, we uko a tool that is somewhat elastic
(for there is nothing equal to pitch an .1 ma?
terial for the polisher) shows that it is the
fm in of the polisher we nant to aim at, ami
the curve ot the glass will follow. Therefor!'
the muchinc, it* nins of revolutions and
strokes, thc dat nd "weight at the pohabarBi
their consistency (which depends on thc tem?
perature in which they are worked, anti Vat

lo tin* polisher the figure or curve we desire
to give tin* glass surface. I may state that
the '.(Tin. disc, as un BXpciiinenial one an?

sult of my experience,that 1 set* no obstacle lo tho

Before polishing was eoaiBM?oed a portion of

THE ADULTERATION OF OUVE OH*.
The adulteration of olive oil and lt* various
substitutes have increased to such an extent
in late years that the French Academy of
Sciences in its last sittings had under its con?
sideration the beat practical means of detect?
ing it. The celebrated chemist, Duma*. Indi?
cated some of the methods that cnn be em?
ployed. A simple method is to watch the
variety of shapes taken by different oils on the
surface of water poured into a saacor. If tbe
oil la genuine olire oil, the drop will take an
irregular shape, like an islet well indented ami
marked with bay? and promontories. If it is
tho product of the black garden poppy, the
form will be at first round, but quickly fes
tooniiig into elegant half-circles round the
edge. The same result will ensue with rape
oil. hut Hm formations round the edge
will be moro pronounced. Colza oil makes
a precise and well-defined circle. If there
are ono or more opinions oils mixed up
with the true olive juice, the forms of the
drops will resemble, more or less, the types
above indicated, according to tlie greater or
)eeaer proportion of the various adulterating
substances. Oil which, when shaken in the
bottle, assumes a permanent, chaplet of air
hubbes is not pure olive oil, for in thc latter
air bubbles an- only transitory. It may, there?
fore, be set down as a mixture in which rape
oil predominates.

Death of aw Agbd Pastou.?Dr. Jaeob Ide.
who died on Monday last at his home in Weat
Medway, Mass., had been in the ministry for
nearly seventy years, and had he lived until
March would have been ninety-five years of
aire. Re waa the son of a fanner in humble
circumstances, hat by teaching, was able to
complete a college course at Brown Univer?
sity nnd to take a degree nt Andover. During
his stay at Andover ne made the acquaintance
of .1 nilson, Hall, Milla, Newell, Richards mid
Warren, that famous bund of young men who
founded foreign missions. For ft lime lift was
settled nt Portsmouth, N. H., and while there
he had among his hearers Dnniel Webster,
then a yoting lawyer of promise, and noon
afterward elected for the first time to ('ongres.-.
In 1811 he accepted a cull to the Congi cgatioi al
Church in Went Medway, and for fifty-one venrs
remained in full .lisi-bnrge ol' bl* duties there.
When tinallv relieved of nil lninistciiul re?
sponsibility in 1865, he was retained in the
capacity of senior pustor, and Hus lie con?
tinued to bo until he died. Ihe Coiigre'jtttion
alint says of him that he furnished a beauti?
ful illustration af the truth that strength of
will and purpose is moro commonly found in
quiet ami gentle nature than in noisy and
bliisterit g ones. His demeanor wan so meek
anil placid and his manarra so quiet and titi
ajrratending that he sometimes seemed to
strangers to be wanting in force of character.
Those who knew him better knew that he had
an eye to s*e, an ear to hear, and a mind und
judgment of his own.
