IT is humiliating confession to make
but geography is pitiless and our
national vain-glory must bow to degrees
that for four hours in twenty four the
entire territory of the United States is
deprived of sunshine. The Scientific
american says that as the sun goes down
on our farthest Aleutian island its morn
ing rays are just lighting up the hill
tops of the western coast of Ireland, and
the whole breadth of the Atlantic lies
between us and daylight. In the depth
of our humiliation, however, we may
possibly cor .e ourselves with the
reflection that the sun really shines on
the United States when it is up. We
have to submit to four hours of sunless.
ness day; England is lucky to get four
hours of sunshine.

IT is now proposed to make railroad
ties of glass. So with car wheels of pa
per and ties of glass, we may soon expect
rails OF putty or some such substance.
Soon after De la Bastie introduced his
method of toughening glass, Mr.. F. Sic
mems, of Dresden, commenced series
Of researches, which have eliminated at
present in the production of very hard
glass, which, unlike the material pro-
duced by the De la Bastie method, does
not fly into million of fragments when
broken. The sleepers. which sre being
tested on the North Metropolitan line at
Strstford, are three feet long and four
inches wide, by six inches deep, the
upper side being shaped to fit the rails.
The glass sleepers are not so strong as
those cut from sound pine, but they are
practically indestructible, and, what is
more, are cheap
