GLASS ROOFS FOR STREETS AND
SIDEWALKS

Of new wrinkle of street conveniences
writer in the Boston Journal informs US as
follows:
Londoners are discussing the project for
covering Regent street, their finest thorough
fare, with a glass roof stretching above the
ewes of the houses on either side, and to have
the hugh arcade which such a course would
make illuminated by electric lights. If Regent
street takes the initiative in the matter, per-
haps the Washington streets, the Broadways
and Chestnut streets ON this side of the water
will follow 80 distinguished an example.
Roofing a whole street with glass, though 1t
might be advisable in the case of narrow,
crowded thoroughfares, would be too e1pen-
sive for general adoption where the streets
were of good width. Covering the sidewalks
with glass roofs would be comparatively mex
pensive, and the cost would be many times
repaid, even in one generation, by the pro
lection afforded from rain, snow an0 ice, and
in summer from the hot sun, by the awnings
with which the roofs would be provided In
sunny locations. 1t does not need any
special gift of prophecy to believe that the
city of the future will pay some attention to
the comfort of pedestrians; that in the near
future people will read with wonder of the
discomforts submitted to by this generation
without even a protest.

CHINESE FREENASONERY.

The Reno Gazette of Monday relates the
following:
Last night the Chinese masonic fraternity
met at Kimbalps hall A Gazette reporter,
with the usual thirst of reporters for an item,
walked into the hall and sat down as a
spectator. OF course he was not allowed to
remain after the SHOW" began, but what he
did find out may thus briefly be told Every
Chinaman on coming to the door pulled OFT,
or rather let fall off, his Shoes. The re-
porter watched the process with some little
curiosity and chagrined to find it was
solely for the purpose of keeping the floor
clean. Small wires were stretched across the
room and notices i'll three parallel rows sus-
pended from them. Back of the grand Off
GERS stand were numerous notices, while in
front of him on the table, were various artI
cles of incense food etc. The organization
as described by a member is fraternal order
similar to such societies among the Caucasians,
But further information is to the effect that,
although the society partakes largely of a fra
ternal order, its real nature is political.
They only meet when applicants to be in
itiated, and their sessions continue through
the entire night. In fact last nights session
lasted till nearly o'clock this morning. The
order here numbers over one hundred mem
bers, while the same organization in China
has a membership of more than fifteen mil
