TRANSPARENT BRICKS.
Experiments with glass building b

Experiments with glass building bricks
were begun in 1891 by NJ Falconier, an
architect of Lyons. These bricks are hol-
low, being. blown like bottles, and are given
forms-such as cubes, hexagons etc. that
ment, with base of asphalt, is used with
them. 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 color Many applications are fore
meat markets and especially adapted for
bath halls, hothouses, HOSPITALS, refrigerat-
ing establishments and buildings in which alb
sence of windows would be an advantage. A
othouse of glass bricks is of about ordinary
cost, saves fuel and resists hail.-AShton,
