Glass Bricks.

Experiments with glass bricks for
building purposes were begun in
1901 by M. Falconnier, an architect
of Lyons. These bricks are hollow,
being blown like ordinary bottles,
and are given forms-such as cubes,
hexagons, etc.-that permit of
ready laying. A bituminous ce.
ment, with base of asphalt, is
used. The bricks serve as double
windows, giving protection against
both cold and heat; they are good
insulators Of humidity and noise;
and they lend themselves readily to
the decoration of buildings either
by their form or their color. Many
applications are foreseen. The
bricks are neater than marble for
meat markets, and are especially
adapted for hospitals, bath halls,
hothouses, refrigerating establish
ments, and buildings in which alb
sence of windows would be an ad.
vantage. A dollhouse of glass
bricks costs about the same as an
ordinary one, saves fuel, and resists
hail.

Wood Silk.

The manufacture of silk from
wood seems to have become a
practical success in France, the pro
cess of M. deChardonnet, which re.
ceived high honors at the Paris
Exposition of lso9 having been
further developed. French manu-
facturers express the belief that the
new silk has great future before
it. A report of the United States
consul at st. Etienne states that Ia
the ma oufacture the pulp is carefully
dried in an oven, plunged into
mixture of sulphuric and nitric
acids, then washed in several water.
baths and dried by alcohol. The
product is dissolved in ether and
alcohol. The resulting collodion is
forced by an alr-pump through a
filter, and run into horz ontal tube
provided with 300 very fine spouts
closed by stopcocks A thread of
extreme delicacy issues from each
spout. The ether and alcohol,
causing the threat to be soft and
sticky, are washed out in water,
when a fiber as elastic, brilliant and
strong as ordinary silk, is ready to
be wound on spools. The danger
Gus intiammability of the wood silk
is said to be reduced by passage
through a solution of ammonia.

The claim that to repeal the Sher-
m an act, in so far a. to stop the pur-
chase Of silver bullion Ivy the govern
ment, would be TO dem0netlzs silver,
is an altogether erroneous view OF
the present situation.
When the act was passed 1t was
expected that notes issued in pay
ment for the silver would remain IN
circulation and thus increase the
volume Of money.
AS matter of fact, however, the
actual operation OF the law has
been that the owner Of silver would
sell to the government his product
each month and receive a govern
meut note payable in coin, and the
note instead of going into clrcula'
ton was at once presented TO the
treasurer for payment and gold de-
manded, go that out OF about $780,

A Friendly settlement.

Maj. Campion, in his book ''On the
Frontier" describes a deer hunt, in the
course Of which he found his dog
astride the dead body of deer, while
an Indian stood little way off, bow
and arrow IN hand. By signs he made
the white man understand that he had
wounded the deer and the dog pulled it
down Then he cut up the deer, tied
the fore half of Il up in the skin and
placed it on one side. The other half
he laid at Maj. Campion's feet, deliver
ing himself Of speech in the Ute Ian
guage. The white man understood his
meaning, but not word of his address
The Indian and the dog had killed the
deer together, and the dogs owner was
entitled TO half the game. The major
was equal to the emergency. He rose
and delivered in full the classical
defamation: my name is Norval, =
with appropriate gestures, just as he
had many times given it at school.
Nothing could have been better. The
Indian and the white man shook hands
with effusion and each with his share
of the venison rode away.

Queer History of Some Words.

Speaking of the strange, eventful his
tory of words, the Hartford Courant
notes that queen" originally meant
simply a woman. but now designates
the most glitterfng place which the
earth can bestow, while with the slight
~ different spelling of ''quean" It
stands for woman of different sort;
so, too, "knave" at tie start meant
only boy, as IN the German form,
''knabe;' but as boys go wrong some
times the word n time obtained an IN
pleasant meaning, The word imp
might have been added as having very
much the same history of "lrnave,7 for.
meaning, first a scion or shoot, IL next
stood for child, and now it means D

! The promise of 50 Frightened the old
mans wits considerably, but even at
the best the reporters saw that the
most serious problem yet encountered
them. In order to close the draw it
would be necessary to have boat so
row out from the bank in the bridge ten
der's fiat-bortom scow would take about
an hour, as it was a long distance and the
tide would be dead against the rover.
To lose that much time at that late hour
would be fatal to the success of the expe-
dition. 1t was finally decided to take
the boat on the train as far as it was safe
and then lower it from the tracks This
involved a good deal of risk in the dark
ness, but no other course remained. The
boat was lifted out of the water by the
combined strength Of the brakeman, the
old man and the reporters, and put on
the rear platform of the car. Then,
while the train moved slowly out as far
as the engineer dared 70 so, rope was
fastened 20 the bow and another TO the
stern of the boat
The darkness was so intense that when
the men got out OF the car TO the tracks

a SHOWER OF ELACK RAIN.
Examination Proved It to Have a Fstid
Smell and Bad Taste.

The meteorological records Of the
world chronicle several iocontestible
instances of black rainfalls, to say moth
ing OF tlle moro startling phenomena of
showers of blood, blue SHOWS" etc,
Prof. Barker in April, 1915, laid before
the Royal society Of Dublin some OBJ
servatiOns on shower Of black rain
which fell around Carlaw and Kilkenny,
extending altogether over an area OF
about four hundred square miles.
During the course of his lecture Prot.
Barker exhibited TO the society a speci-
men Of this uncanny shower which had
been sent him by friend. The speci-
men shown In the vial was of uniform
black color, much resembling common
black writing fluid. DR.. Barker found,
however, that, after allowing it to stand
for a short period the black colorinX
matter separated from the water with
which it had mixed. rendering the color
of the rainwater much lighter, but stiu
dark enough to be called black rain"
The shower, which was in broad day
light, was preceded by darkness so
dense as to make il impossible for one
to read without the aid of q candle.
After this darkness had continued for
some time, hailstorm set in, attended
with vivid lightning, but without the
least semblance of thunder. When this
hailstorm was over the black rain be-
gan to fall.
On examination Of the rain irnmedi-
ately after the storm was over It was
found 70 have an extremely fetid smell,
as well as very disagreeable taste All
animals and al articles of
clothing exposed bore dark spots and
stains, and cattle refused to drink the
water or eat the grass until after
shower Of real rain" had washed OFF
the black, poisoning matter.
