Blowing by Compressed Air.

The first in France to employ COM
pressed air for glass-blowing was prob
ably an ouvrier named Baccarat, who
in 1924 invented a small mechanical
blower. Appert's apparatus i capable
Of blowing the largest pieces Of glass,
and is extremely valuable from hui
man point Of view, as it prevents those
maladies Of the glass-blower which arise
from forced expiration and breathing
hot, dry air. The apparatus, as de-
scribed by the French Academy OF
Sciences, consists of two conjugate COM
pressors put in action by the shafting of
the works, and storing compressed air
in reservoirs sufficient to serve twelve
hours. 1t is distributed to the blowing
apparatus by pipes with cocks, and
regulated by pressure regulator. In
the Clichy Works the air is regulated
under three pressures; one OF forty-two
pounds per inch, and one of 2.S5 pounds
per square inch. The last pressure
serves for the construction Of goblets,
Jugs, etc., lighting lamps, bottles and
SO on. The air Is applied to the glass
by giving it an axial rotation similar to
that Of the blow-pipe. The latter is
fitted with stop-cock by which the
workmen can regulate the air supply.
The glass is rotated either on horizon
tai or vertical axes to suit the class OF
work. As the preacquired habits of the
workmen have been consulted in this
new apparatus, they readily become
used to it. The new machine enables
the manufacturers to dispense with a
number of the children formerly en-
ployed in this injurious work--Engt-
neering.

The Inter Mountain in publishing
its interviews with certain citizens of
Butte in regard to the advisability of
granting the court house loan, is very
careful not to mention some opinions
it hears. We are informed a promi-
nent citizen, a taxpayer on $4,000
worth of property, told the Inter
Mountain interviewer that they
might 60 to work and build their
fancy court house but they would
lind very little of his money in this
county to tax for it.. The voice of
that citizen is the voice of scores of
others. Vote this lean and over q
million dollars in personal property
will be sent out of the county. This
may not be believed but precedents
are not wanting to establish the
truth of the assertion. It is q fact
which cannot bs gainsayed that q
high rate of taxation drives capital
out of q county and bars its entrance
into it.

This talk about want of conf.

people Of Butte are cot showing
"want of confidence" in the dead
stagnation of all building enterprises.
How many buildings are being put
up in this city? What has become OF
our building enterprises ? Why don't
people tear down their old rickety
board shanties and build brick edi.
fees? Have they lost confidence in
our mines" Not a bit of it. Our
mines never looked better and their
outputs are as satisfactory as ever.
Then what is the reason? Because
they can get along very well with
their present buildings. A $1,000
cottage serves them as we'll as a $780,.
600 mansion and they can make
better use of their money than
putting it in fancy private
residences or costly business struct.
ures. They know they really have
no more use for imposing buildings
than the county has for a $4,000 OF
$500, 600 court house. 1t is not "want
of confidence" that prompts them to
vote against the latter proposition
but q proper appreciation Of the re-
sponsibility of people living in a

NATIONAL PARK ATTRAC-

"Uncle Rufus" Hatch must be
credited as the shrewdest and best
advertiser in the world. In the first
place he leased certain privileges in
tho National Park which were not
worth a cent to him unless he could
turn q stream of tourists into it.
This he has succeeded in doing, and
tie rush has just commenced. His
plan was to start the big game
towards it; he knew the smaller
would follow, and what do we see?
Capitalists from Holland, d%ignitaries
from Russia, peers from England,
journalists from France and other
European coun tries, a President of
the United States, distinguished Sen
ators, statesmen, soldiers and rail-
road kings all heading for the
Land of Wond RS. Of course
others more or less dis
tinguished among their fellow men
will follow and meet and see the
great show "Uncle Rufus has pro-
vided them. It Will divide honors
with the great combination show of
ten circuses in one as far as the at
traction goes but will eclipse it as a
paying investment. It is a good
thing for the lessses of the Park; for
the roads leading to it and for Mon
tana.
