There are other interesting features about
the above table, especially that one showing
that while New Jersey scarcely held her own
and Connecticut the District of Columbia,
Iowa and Kentucky dropped out altogether.
four new States, with an increased number of
furnaces. have taken their places, namely:
Colorado, Indiana, Georgia and Minnesota,
Pennsylvania shows an increase of IS per cent
while Ohio leads OF with an increase of nearly
75 per cent. Missouri follows with 100 per cent
and old Massachusetts drops back among the
small producers.
In window glass the showing is not so great
but it is still very remarkable. 1t must be re-
membered, however. that though Iowa was re-
tanned in the list of 1890 works were then in
operation; besides, the large tanks now In
course of construction by the Chambers-McKee
Company at Jeanette, which will be equal to
IS pots, and the 40-pot tanks of the Hartford
City, Ind. Glass works, both of which will no
doubt be in operation before the close of the
present year. will show an increase of nearly
100 per cent during the past ten years.
While Iowa dropped from the list of manu-
featuring States Kansas, though not recently
operating built one furnace: Wyoming Terri
ritory added one, and little Delaware two fur
uaces Indiana and Ohio more than uuadrupled
their production. New Jersey almost doubled
her capacity Massachusetts dropped from four
to one furnace, and Pennsylvania adds ten fur
naces, and leads the list with A furnaces, the
largest number of all the States. Ohio shows
the largest increase of all, having sprung from
to q furnaces.
The green glass Industry also shows a remark
able increase, having added 35 pots since 1880.
Massachusetts and Mississippi, with one fur
mace each. have retired from the business but
Georgia, Alabama, Colorado, Missouri and
Utah have entered the list.

Flint GIdSs,Odre.

The number of pots operating during 1890
are necessarily estimated, are figured
from the number of furnaces, allowing II
pots to each furnace. The estimate would
appear to be much too low. inasmuch as it
shows an increase Of less than 100 per cent;
whereas, the number of furnaces, most OF
which have been increased from 10 to Is
and 16 pots per furnace during the past ten
years, show an increase OF over 78 per cent.
OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER.
The number of furnaces reported for 1890
does not include several in course of con-
struction at North Jeanette, one at Butler
and one at Punxsutawney. Besides, the in
creased number of continuous and intermittent
tan ks in operation, together with the quicker
melting power of natural gas and improved
furnaces must all be taken into consideration
in any estimate of the comparative productivity
of American furnaces, now and ten years ago.
The same number of furnaces, with enlarged
and faster melting pots, would produce at least
one-fifth more glass than was possible in 1880
Hence il is safe to conclude that the highest
rather than the lowest, figures given are near
est the truth.
RAPID STRIDES OF THE INDUSTRY.

rapid strides Of the industry:
