Tubes of coloured glass are drawn out to great lengths and fineness, in the same manner as those of more moderate lengths are made in this country for thermometers; these are cut into very small pieces, of nearly uniform lengths, on the upright edge of a fixed chisel. These elementary cylinders are then put into a mixture of fine sand and wood ashes, where they are stirred about until their cavities get filled. This mixture is then put into an iron pan, suspended over a moderate fire, where, by being kept continually stirred, they assume a smooth rounded form. They are then removed from the fire, cleared out in the bore, and strung in bunches, constituting the beads as we meet with them in commerce. Great quantities of these beads, packed in casks, are exported to all parts of the world. CHAPTER XVII. CROCHET. CONTENTS. In what the art consists--various articles that may be produced by crochet--its use in blind schools--Materials that may be employed--various stitches--method of working--position of the hands--Explanation of Terms used in Crochet--Hints on Crochet--Directions for working the various articles.
