Malleable Glass.

The French journals contain an oc-
count Of experiments made with new
kind OF glass SO perfectly annealed as
to have lost all brittleness, wherefore
the inventor calls it, justly or unjustly,
malleable glass. His name is De Ia
Bartre, and the experiments were made
at the Workshop of the railroad COM
pany OF Pont d'Ain, said company wish
ing to ascertain the value of an inven-
tion which at the present day is exciting
a great deal of interest, especially in
such pursuits where glass is exposed to
great deal of strain and danger.
A panc of common glass a quarter Of
an inch thick, Of which the borders were
supported by wooden frame, was laid
on the ground. A copper weight Of
four ounces was dropped on it's surface,
elevating gradually the height of its
fall. The glass broke at the shock
caused by two and half feet of fall.
In place OF that pane another, half rs
thick, was substituted, of one-eighth OF
an inch in thickness, of the glass tenn
pered after the new method. Tho same
weight was dropped, raising euccess-
fully to the height OF the ceiling of the
hall, without causing any damage to the
glass. ~ ~
The experiments were continued out,
side the building, and the experimenter
climbed on ladder leaning against q
wall, to let the weight fall. IT broke.
at d fall from seventeen feot. IE waa;
then proved that the tempered glass
does not break by shocks of longer or
shorter duration, as the common glass
does. Itis broke in great number of
very small crystals, resulting from its
new molecular disposition. When
thrown OH the ground tho tempered
glass rebounds, giving q special sound
like that Of the fall of sheet of metal.
The observations as to it's resistance
to heat have caused another series of
to be made. A strip of
common glass was laid fiat over the
flame of q lamp. At the end of twenty
four seconds sudden noise told that
the glass was split. A glass annealed
according to the new method subjected
to the same conditions resisted indef-
nitely. 1t was taken and plunged in
pail of water, put again all wet above
the flame. 1t was in no way broken by
tho fire.
Patents have been taken in Franco
aud in other countries. A society was
formed ut Bourg by the aid of some
friends, who have offered their tostimo-
malls to the inventor. The buildings
for manufacturing this kind of glass are
in course Of erection.
We add to those details, given by the
local journals. that the inventor pat
ented his process in france.
The claim of his invention is AS
soon as tho malleability begins the glass
is thrown ut once in greasy, resinous
or other substance, previously heated
to various degrees, i'll proportion to the
nature and quality Of the glass on which
they operate.

aphe Military Infatuation.

just now Europe is suffering from
ono Other periodical military infatua
tions. Everybody predicts war. AL
The cabinets prognosticate hostilities.
Business is depressed and stocks de.
cline, and an indefnable feeling of in,
security and dread fills the air. But
when the inquiry is pressed beyond
these superficial aspects OF the situa.
tioni it IS hard to discover any tangible
and satisfactory reasons for the forebod-
ing. The ghost in o single closet does
not account for the universal scare.
The only facts that as yet have come
to the surface are that Germany, know
ing that France feels her humiliation
and chafes under it and may some day
endeayqr to offset the recollection of
Sedan has increased her army to mil
lion and three.quarters of men. All
the reserves Of the empire are drawn
upon tosi The utmost to pnt the available
military forces into training for possi-
BILE contingency. The experience of the
late struggle as to the value of particu-
lar arms and methods of operation is
being utilized, and the nation has been
increased and made more efficient. But
Germany has no foreign foe, and no
quarrel on hand. Any immediate war
with france is out of the question.
TroubleSwith Russia she may have pro-
yided she provokes it. Trouble she
may have with Italy and Spain and
France if she attempts to bully the
COL 80 Card inala into electing a Ger
man Pope. And she may have trouble
with England and Russia if she insists
on absorbing Denmark. But there is
no legitimate occasion flor war and no
reason for this enormous increase of her
army. The other nations have natu-
rally enough taken alarm, and begun to
increase their armies and navies too,
simply because Germany has Increased
hers, and to- day Europe has larger
military establishments than ever be-
fore in time of peace. The posses
sion of the instrument is temptation
to use it, and suoh splendidly equipped
and thoroughly drilled armies are a
constant provocation. Considering the
poverty of Europe, the oppressiveness
of taxes, tho degradation and suffering
of the lower classes in every nation,
these enormous military establishments
are terrible perversions of power and
property. It is only necessary to think
of the industrial force represented by
million and tbree.quarters OF men in
the most productive period of life to
see what drain Germany is making
on the resource Of the nation. And yet
every soldier has to be supported by
the productive energies of the young
and old, the lame and the infirm, the
women and the children We have
great deal to complain of, but it is mat
ter for congratulation that wo have no
great army to support and no military
infutuation.

That this Is an age OF progress In all re-
