Combs.
More combs are made at Milan, in Italy, than any other town. That city uses, in this important industry, 4,000 horns per week, or 20S,000 per annum. These horns are mostly obtained in Italy, but a portion arc obtained from South America. The remnant tips, shavings, scrapings, Ac., are used by the tanners, and in the manufacture of manure which is said to be particularly adapted •to the cultivation of olives and or•anges, and is consequently always in good demand. The manufacture of combs is also extensively carried on at Naples, Florence, Leghorn and Orc-zzo at Naples they are made principally of the hoofs of bullocks and horses. The manufacture of combs from tortoise shells is also carried on to some extent. Ivor}', and bones :tre chiefly u^ed at Florence, Leghorn and Orezzo. Horns are not the only material used at Mi lan, large quantities of bones being also consumed.
KiiormouH Exhibition of Power.
A paragraph has been recently going the rounds of the press, in which it is stated that the greatest blast on record was recently made on the proposed site of a fort in San Francisco harbor. Twelve tons of powder were fired at once, dislodging 80,000 tons of rock. .So far as the quantity of powder exploded is concerned, this is probably true, at least in regard to ordinary blasting and mining operations much larger quantities of powder have been exploded accidentally and in military operations. The greatest exhibilion of power of which we have any knowledge was the blast at the Round-Down cliff at Dover, England, January 26, 18-43. The cliff was 375 feet above high-water mark, and as a projection of it pre vented a direct line of the Southeastern Railroad being taken to the mouth of the Shakespeare Tunnel, it was resolved to remove the obstruction by blasting: -Three galleries, 300 feet long, were excavated in the qhalk rock. Nine tons of powder were placed in the bottom of the shafts, arranged in three separate charges, which were fired simultaneously by means of powerful voltaic batteries. As soon as the current was sent through the wires, a low, faint, indescribable subterranean rumble was heard, and, immediately after,'the bottom of the cliff began to bulge out, and then, almost immediately, about 500 feet in breadth of the. slimmit began gradually but rapidly to sink. There was no roaring explosion, no bursting out of fire, no violent and crashing splitting of Tocks, and, comparatively speaking, but very little smoke. For a proceeding of mighty and irrepressible force, it had little or nothing of the appearance of force. The rock seemed as if it had exchanged its solid for a fluid nature for it glided like a stream into the sea, which was ftt the distance of 100 yards from its base. By this blast one million tons of rock were removed, which would oth-j erwise have required the labor of thousands of men for upward* of twelve months.— (•ounh'y Gentle.-

The Lenses are ground in accordance with the philosophy of nature. Their perfectly polished surfaces, purity and transparency of material, and exact spherical figure, admirably adapt them to the organ of sight, rendering them perfectly natural to the eye, and producing a clear and distinct image of the object as in the natural healthy sight, avoiding the glimmering, wavering dizziness of the head, and other unpleasant sensations often experienced in the use of ordinary glasses, and enabling the wearer to prosecute minute and critical eye-labor, either by day or candle-light, with case, fcomfort and satisfaction.
