POSSIBILITIES IN GLASS.

How Weimay Live I'm Transparent

Heat.
Iegend tells of the lost invention OF
"maileable glass;" Tiberius is said to
have discouraged genius who found
the secret by beheading him, fearing the
innovation would reduce the value OF
cold. 1t is also recorded that Cardinal
Richelieu was presented with bust OF
vnalieable glass by chemist, who pur-
poeely let it fall into fragments, and
mended it before his eyes with ham,
mer. The inventor was promptly re-
varded by perpetual Imprisonment, lest
his ingenuity should ruin the vested
interests" of French manufactur'
ers. But if glass may not ape
the metals in malleability, it may
initiate them in another respect
;ust as important. A more fortunate
Frenchman IN. de la Bastie) has within
a few wears introduced into Europe a
transmitted glass (which, he claims, may
d;splace cast iron. If it fulfills his ex-
pectations it will mark new era in glass,
and the old sdage, "ss brittle as glass, !"
will be succeeded by new one, ss
tough as glass;" By his process railway
Hloop6r6, I6uC6 pOetS, uInih PiPoct soAAS
etc,, are cast in molds, and 30 toughened
by bath in oils as to be stronger than
iron, though much lighter, and costing
one-third as much. But it is questioned
whether his results reach what is claimed
for the process.
These undeveloped toughening pro-
cesses augur astounding changes in the
future of glass. "Glass houses" may be-
come the fashion, and we would have to
reverse our proverb about them, for they
would be bomb proof. Already Trans
parent glass bricks are made. Extend
ing the possibilities of glass little fur
ther, why may we not build the entire
structure of glass? The walls might be
cemented blocks cast like hewn stone,
but translucent. and of any color. One
could thus inhabit huge pile OF amber
or of gigantic gems. The windows
could be multiform, some of them tele-
scopic, bringing distant things near some
with lenses or mirrors guiding the TO-
cussed SUMS heat for culinary and other
comfortable purposes, others straining
out the light or chemic rays. Tapestries,
furniture and utensils might be made OF
the universal material. The whole would
be more endurable than granite. No
FIRE could harm it lightning would shun
it. Such dream, blossoming from this
miraculous substance, may be realized
by an Aladdin whose lamp is OF glass;

The Success with Wh1ch II IL Use0
as a Motive Power I'm Paris.
Everyone who has visited Paris in re-
cent years must have noticed at the cor.
ner Of the streets, in the rooms OF the
principal hotels and public buildings,
the pneumatic clocks. In the apart
ment in which they are placed you do
not hear the usual ticking of the clock,
but sound, sharp and clear, which is
repeated each minute. The mechanism
is extremely simple, the important
part being small cylinder, fur
nished with a piston, joined to q
small flexible metallic tube and
to a system of pipes connecting with
these in the street. Each minute wave
circulates through the whole system of
pipes, marking progressive movement
on the face of all the clocks. The num-
ber of these clocks on the 31st of October
last amounted to 1900. Their installa-
ton ha been largely facilitated by the
existence of the ewers in which the
pipes are placed According to English
ideas, these sewers should be rather
called subways, as they are spacious,
high, and furnished with sidewalks, so
that q man can walk in them with ease.
The compressed air is supplied as
power to thirteen sewing machine shops,
four ice-making establishments, thirty.
nine turner's, each taking about two
horsepower, sixteen printing houses re-
quiring about forty-three horsepower,
thirty-five wood d-working factories taking
seventy horsepower, and to eighty-six
various industries. Paris offers spe-
cially good field for this system, as the
police regulations do not allow boilers
above the basement floor, and there are
many industries requiring small power
which could not economically employ
separate steam engines and boilers. The
gas engines offer many advantages to the
small manufacturers, but when gas is as
dear as it is in Paris it is not economical.
These facts explain the great success
of compressed air in Paris, and in less
than two years its progress has been
enormous. In the interval between DC.
tober 31st and December Goth, of last
year, seventy.eight horsepower addi.
tional has been supplied for motive
force, and for electric lighting 264 horse.

Liberal Appropriation wanted.

1t is to be hoped that the next Con-
gress, early in its session, will make a
liberal appropriation for the Pacific
Branch OF the Soldiers Home, near
Santa Monica. Increased accommoda-
tions are already needed. The four bar
racks are intended to furnish quarters
for 100 each. There are now about 800
soldiers occupying the buildings, and as
there is no hospital, portion of one OF
them is used for this purpose. There
are new arrivals almost daily, and appli-
cations and inquiries are received by
nearly every mail from parties desiring to
be admitted. As this Home is intended
for disab soldiers on the Pacific Coast,
some haste should at least be made for
their reception.
But the accommodations should not
stop at the limit of providing for the Pa
cific Coast soldiers. None of the other
five National Homes are 30 favorably
situated as the one here at Santa Monica.
The Homes on the Atlantic side are all
located where the rigors of the winter
and the oppressive heat of the summer
are too much for many of the veterans
afflicted with various weaknesses and
ailments. These unfortunates should
all have transfers to the Coast Home as
soon as practicable. Here nature will
smile upon them with an almost per-
petual warmth of sunshine, and the
winds will be tempered to them as to
shorn lamb. Provision for this class Of
soldiers, in addition to those of the
Coast, should be made as soon as Con-
gress can appropriate the necessary
funds and the work can be done.-[Santa

Unusual Honesty.

An unusual conscience contribution has been
received at the Treasury department, being
case of mans honesty in paying a
debt twenty-one years old, which would
probably never have been demanded of him.
Charles W. Hartshorn, of Taunton, Mass,
recently called on the deputy collector
of internal revenue at that place and in
sisted on paying S2096 which he
claimed was due to the government
from the estate of his father. Jesse Hartshorn
who died in '6S. There at that time in
vogue succession tax law, levying a tax on
estates as they passed from one hand to another
From some reason other the tax on this
estate was never paid or demanded,
troubles in the family preventing complete
settlement of the estate The account was
overlooked in the Office here, and the matter
was forgotten and would probably
never have been remembered. Upon
investigation it was learned that
the mans story was correct, and that he
really was the governments debtor to that
amount, and the money was sent to Washing
ton and the account cancelled This is re-
garded at the Treasury department as a most
extraordinary case of honesty.
