STAINED GLASS INDUSTRY.
The Line of Glass-W orkipg In This Country
Surpasses all Previous Efforts.

Tho stained glass of many of the Ca
thedrals and churches of the old world.
despite their coarse pigments and awk-
ward leading, were gems of beauty in
form and color, and they altogether dis
the same field. On tie other hand, how
ever, the high grade glass worker of the
present time is achieving results that
in the ancient and medieval times. 1t is
not generally known that an entirely and
distinct line of glass-working has sprung
up in this country, which is accomplish
ing the most wonderful results. 1t com
and has added improvements of its own by
which all the possibilities of colored glass
have been exhausted. To such high state
has this artistic taste been developed, that
prices are paid for single windows in
private houses which would have seemed
fabulous ten years ago. Three thousand
dollars is considered by no means an extra.
ordinary pric3 for one of these modern
creations of the artist. For beauty, real
ism and coloring, these high-class win
dows excel anything that has been seen.
The life which has been wanting even
In the greatest paintings is possible OF
realization in glass, where light is behind
the picture to infuse it with motion, color
and feeling. The figure that can only be
represented in the act of walking in canvas
pictures, can be actually made to move
when the sunlight plays on il through the
crystal of the stained window. One dis
tinct departure made by the American
artist from European practice is the dis
carding of pigments, which they say de
stroy the possibilities OF taking full ad
vantage of the light, and which they con-
sequently use in faces of flesh tints. Some
Of the modern pictures, consisting OF
many thousand pieces OF glasses, are
joined with such deft skill by clever lead
ing that lines of the designs are presented
in as perfect and unbroken manner as
they were in the al sist's drawing.

SANTIAGO. Chile, Oct 20 1t is off
cially stated that the government will
issue safe conduct to those persons who
have refuge in the American and Spanish

The sailor of the q. s. S. Baltimore,
killed by Chilean sailors in street brawl

Americans from the Baltimore was landed

THE SACRED BO-TREE.
i'm the Hearts of Four Hundred
Millions of People.

For time | became pilgrim myself.
We reach the uppermOst of three success
sive terraces of Inasonary, which is crown
ed by the multiple trunk of venerable
tree. The several divisions of this tree
are feeble, gnarled, and bent; the leaves
lack the fresh verdancyofa vigorous growth
and plainly show the yellowish pallor of
decrepitude. The soil tFat nourlshes its
roots is wellnigh saturated with the oil Of
its anointments; yet bent with age, this
patriarch spreads its protecting arms over
the jaded devotees, while the deposit be-
meath it and around it their offerings of
cocoanut-oil, palm blossom, champac
flowers, and the bloom of the temple, tree
(frangipani. Then their eager gaze is
turned upward to the. branches; they crave
a single leaf, Jut none would dare pluck it
from the tree; it must fall In full maturity
to yield It's maximum Of merit. A pass
ing breeze sways the branches; the leaves
rustic; the watchers gaze more expectant
ly; withered member is separated from
its branch and comes sailing down. There
Is no whoOp of exultation, no trifliDg
smile; but instead, a determined sally, a
pious scramble, collision of JEALOUS hands
and heads, and the solitary leaf is borne
away in the happy bosom OF the successful
competitor. The prizes were few and the
competitors were many so [ could only
hope to secure one by remaining till the
pilgrims at nightfall, had turned their
steps homeward; but even then robed
priests remained to guard this molly of
holes.
As if, however, to reward my patience,
two leaves fell at my feet, whereupon, well
satisfied, turned away from a tree that is
enshrined IN the hearts of four hundred
millions of the human family, ard which
is, in all probability, the oldest historical
tree in The world; and when tell the
reader that it has been dropping its con-
sacratfd leaves into the outsUretched hands
