The Marvellous ..Glass WOOL Lately In.
vented at Vienna
The scientific journals of recent date
especially those which allot depart
ments to the discussion of the glass
workers art, have been filled with mar
vicious accounts of wonderful glass
composition lately invented in Vienna.
This new art makes the spinning of
"glass WOOL possible and many fine
webs of Crucial cloth" have already
left the looms. The friZzled glass
threads from which the cloth is woven
are said to surpass in fincness not only
the finest cotton, but even the threads
of the silkworm's cocoon, their softness
and elasticity being even greater than
that of manufactured flint" Surgeons
have already begun TO use this wool in
place of cotton, common wool and silk
lint ana the chemists and apothecaries
say that fnely-woven web of cloth
makes the most perfect filter that one
could imagine. The finest and smooth
est of these glass threads are being
woven into textile fabrics, which in
turn are made into cushions. table
cloths. neckties. shawls, cuffs, collars
and Il variety of other patterns. In
softness to the touch this glass yarn
almost approaches silk films. being
much like that of finest wool or cotton.
1t possesses remarkable strength. and
not only remains unchanged in weight
and warmth, but is not altered from
contact with any known acid. Being
noninfammable and incombustible, as
we'll as having great brilliancy and
beauty of colors, it is especially suita-
BILE for dress goods, such fabrics being
much warmer than those made from
cotton or Sleeps wool.
If these things are all true the glass
and paper age will jointly occupy the
same throne-St. Louis Republic.

extravaganza. the Spider and Fly" will
be presented at Hsrper's theatre tonight,
with all its wondrous scenic effects. The

the production:
The Spider ard fly 3.act spects,
cular production by N. B Leavitt, was
the attraction at the st. Charles last
evening. The house was filed by an APP
preciative audience, who from the rising
OF the curtain in the first act to the ter.
mination OF the last, laughed heartily at
the witty sayings and musical absurdities
with which the show abounds. As usual
with the spectacular shows the Spider
and Fly" is devoid of plot. The absence
OF such is, however, is more than filed
by the members of the company in their
various specialties. gorgeous costumes
and the brilliant scenery. A particular
feature OF the show is ballet composed
of young and pretty ladies, who, during
each act, entertain the audience by their
graceful dancing. Miss Louise Cassattie,
as Oceans, queen OF the mermaids, was
charming. She is a lady possessing con-
siderable histrionic ability, pleasing
voice, and gifted by nature with hand
some face and figure. Miss Berthe Craw-
ford, Lord R. zze Dazzle, an English
nobleman, csnsed considerable amuse-
ment and won repeated plaudits.

Fly, made a decided hit. Dave Edwards,

The Use of the Voice.

A specialist in diseases of the throat has
found that a peculiar throat affection is
extremely common among teachers in ele-
mentary schools, especially among the
women teachers. A chief cause he con-
siders to be the unskilled rather than the
excessive use Of the voice, and urgently
recommends women occupying such places
TO take lessons in scientific voice culture
as remedial means. The use Of the voice,
too, in overcrowded rooms where the air is
vitiated is also deplored as a serious injury
to it.-Her Point of View in New York
