THE AME RICAN HOME.

Nothing strikes an observing Ameri-
can upon his first visit to Europe with
greater force than the lack OF those
conveniences in the dwellings OF even
the wealthiest classes which in his
own country are considered indispens-
able necessities. We are quick to
seize upon the latest discoveries in
science and the arts which can in any
way render our homes more attrac-
tive, or the cares OF housekeeping less
burdensome, while the more conserva-
tive Europeans are content to live as
their fathers did before them, and

Hot air or steam furnaces are practi-

A modern American house, with all

Monkey Skin NUTS.

Mulfs OF monkey, skin are always
much admired. This fur is really
taken from the back OF chimpanzees
like the late MIR. Crowley, OF New
York. Five years ago they were
almost unknown, and dealers on the
west coast OF Africa bought them OF
the natives for $3.50 dozen, shipping
them to London with instructions to
make them up into driving gloves and
offer them TO the trade. But their Pc
culiarly long black hairs. for the
monkey can scarcely be said TO have
a fur, at once won favor. and the price
went up so rapidly that agents at
Sierra Leone fairly coined money be-
fore the natives discovered the advance
IN values. But the animal from which
this strange material is secured is COM
paratively rare in Africa, and exists
nowhere else on the globe. A few
years more and monkey skins will be
almost as rare as blacks ables.

New Substitute For Glass.

The introduction OF IA material COM
bining all the advantages of glass, with
none OF the corresponding disadvan-
tages arising from its brlttleness, will
be hailed with interest by every class
of the public who suffer daily in one
form or another from the fragile nature
OF the article it is now sought to super
sede. The transparent wire wove
roofing, which is translucent, pliable
as leather and unbreakable. has for its
basis a web OF fine iron wire, with warp
and watt threads about one-twelfth OF
an inch apart. This netting is covered
on both sides with thick translucent
varnish, containing large percentage
OF linseed oil. The process of manu-
featuring is conducted by dipping the
sheets into deep tanks containing the
composition until the required thick
ness is obtained; the sheets are then
dried in a heated chamber. and after
being stored for some time till thorough
ly set are ready for use. The sheets
can be made any color desired, and
range from amber to pale brown. The
roofing is very pliable, and. bending
backward and forward without any
injury. readily adapts itself to curves
or angles in roofing. The new material
is not only water proof, but is unaffect-
ed by steam, the heat of the sun, frost,
hail, rain. or. indeed, atmospheric
changes Of any kind. Being non
conductor, buildings. winter gardens
and similar structures remain cool in
summer and warm in winter.
