the worst of your dirty conduct is that

SOPHISTICATED GLASS-MAKERS
One of Their Number shows Wherein
They Are Behind tho Europeans.

One of Their Number shows wherein
They Are Behind tho Europeans.
The necessity for glass bottles in the
daily life of the early American colonies
led very early to the payment of boun-
ties to glassmakers Window glass
could be imported at reasonable rates
as ballast, but the case with bottles
was very different Some of the earliest
enactments in Massachusetts, Virginia,
Pennsylvania and New York, in the
seventeenth century, therefore, related
to glass making. But these early at
tempts TO establish the industry were
mainly unsuccessful. In the eighteenth
century, however. the making of bottles
was esta blished in a number of locali-
ties in which it is still in operation,
although the works have all passed out
of the families of the original founders
In writing of the progress of glass
making in America, r. NJ Atwater, a
practical glassmaker, says that in Eu-
rope furnace construction is far in adj
vancelof the art in this country. and
the best work done here to-day is simply
, the copying of the approved models of
German and Belgian construction.
The American window glass. Mr.. At
water SAYS, is inferior to the imported,
chiefly because less care is taken in
operations of blowing and f1attening.
There is absolutely no excuse for this
inferiority. as our fuel and raw materi-
ais are better than the foreign and our
blowers and fatteners receive about
treble the foreign standard of wages
II is simply an evidence of lack of dis
cipline, which is the fault of the manu-
facturers and the deteriorating infiu-
ence of a powerful organization which
controls the workmen.
1t is not unlikely that the next devel-
opment Of the window glass manufact-
ure will be on lines similar to those
met in bottle making, namely, the sub
stitution of thin, polished plate glass
for blown sheet. This thin plate is not
at present made in America. the great
works of the MessrS Pilkington and
the French works at St Gobain and
Stolburg having a practical monopoly
of the business. But this glass can be
produced by the most approved me-
chanical appliances at a cost but little
above that of blown glass, and its great
superiority for all practical purposes
will commend it as soon as it is avail
able 1t is familiar to all in the ear
windows of the railway coaches. 1t is
is produced entirely by machines and
low-priced labor, and offers at the pres
ent time one of the most hopeful ave-
nues for the profitable expansion of the
business.
In the manufacture of polished plate
glass Americans have been SO success
full that foreign plate has practically
disappeared from our markets, and Mr.
Atwater sees the promise of a better
state of glass manufacture in some
other directions. Engineering Maya

Destruction of the slave Trade in Contra

Destruction of tho slave Trade in Central
Africa.
The partition of Africa among the
European powers was the first effective
blow dealt to the slave trade in inner
Africa. The east coast, whence a few
years ago the slavcrS marched in battal-
ions To scatter over the wide interior of
the continent for pillage and devasta-
ton, Is to-day guarded by garrisons of
German and British troops. The ISL
and of Zanzibar, where they were
equipped for their murderous enter
prises, is under the British fac. Trad
ing steamers run mp and down the
coast; the Tana and Jub rivers are be-
ing navigated by British steamers: two
lines of stations secure communications
inland for three hundred miles from the
sea. Mai. Won Wissman is advancing
upon Lake Tauganila: Herr Boorchert
Is marching upon Lake Victoria: Can't.
Williams is holding Uganda These
results have followed very rapidly the
political partition OF the continent
