GLASS MANS INVENTIONS.
INGENIOUS FREAKS EMBALMED IN
THE PATENT OFFICE.

Glass slippers and Cloth Made OF
Spun GIass-GIass Houses Con-
strueted of Glass Bricks-Other
Strange Inventions Which Are
Made Entirely of the Transparent
Material.
From the Philadelphia Times.
There is an inventor who is known in
the patent office in Washington as the
Glass Man. His name is c. w. Mclean
of New Berne, N. c., and during the last
few years he has obtained patents for d
surprising number of devices in glass.
Among these is a glass coffin. which is
guaranteed proof against decay and rats.
So long as no deliberate attempt is made
to smash it, it ought to last forever.
Another contrivance is a stairway made
wholly of glass steps, landing and newell
posts being all of that material Yet an
other is a glass barrel. But perhaps the
most remarkable invention of the Glass
Man is billiard table of glass.
The day may yet arrive when people
will live in glass houses. A patent has
been secured by another inventor for
glass bricks Of a peculiar pattern. The
material of which they are composed being
a tirst-rate non-conductor, these bricks
built of them while admitting the light.
1t is claimed they will exclude noise, being
hollow Furthermore the inmates of q
glass house need not be afraid OF being
under too close observation by neighbors,
inasmuch as it is not requisite that the
bricks shall be transparent. They may be
of opaque, ground glass, or of any color
that may be suitable for decorative Ell
feet
Thus before many years have passed it
may be considered the hight OF luxury TO
occupy dwelling of glass. Glass bricks,
of course, are expensive. People who live

of spun glass. Nearly twenty years ago
there was shown at the centennial expo

describes it as suitable for the manufac-

They are woven in a loom OF ordinary
pattern. Anybody may observe that a
thin sheet of glass is somewhat elastic.
The threads employed in weaving are
of such hneness as to be perfectly pliable
and not at all brittle. With a gown Of
glass would naturally go pair of glass
slippers. Not like Cinderella's. oh, mol

THE CHRIST OF RUy HrR.

Those who have read Ben Hur' have

friend of Lew Wallace's asked him this
question recently, and his answer is in

shouted again:
Look Quit Why don't you change
your course"
Neither replied, but it was absurd
for the pdnic-Striken youth to suppose
they did not understand the situation
and we're shaping their movements
accordingly.
Having observed the wolves as soon
as Sterry, they never lost sight of
ohern for a second. Every action was
watched and the curious proceeding
noted the instant made.
Fred and Jennie continued gliding
Straight forward, as though they saw

tefth'S heart stood still and he was in
despair, the couple turned almost at
right angles to the left-that is exact

Should the speed of the pursuers be-
come dangerous, a sharp turn or
change in the course would throw
them off and give the fugitives an adj
vantage THAT would last for long time
But they dreaded the appearance of
a whole pack of the ravenous brutes in
front, thus shutting off the line of their
flight homeward True, in that case
they could turn about and flee up
stream, but the risk of encountering
others, attracted by the cries, would
be great, and perhaps leave their only
recourse to take to the woods
The thoughts of each turned to the
nearest hunters cabin, although it was
several miles distant and probably be-

No one spoke, but as they glided

They gave it little attention and kept

Sterry took out his watch. The
moonlight was so strong that he saw
the figures plainly. 1t lacked 90 few
minutes of nine.

skating close into shore, sat down ON
a boulder, which obtruded several feet
above the ice.
They were at the extremity of their
excursion. These collective rocks bore
the name of Wolf Glen, the legend be-
ing that at some time in the past a
horde OF wolves made their headquar-

unusually severe, held the surrounding

reign of terror. They had not wholly

unclouded, but the moon had passed
beyond the zenith. A vail of shadow

from each other by just enough space
to give play to the limbs, they sped

First on the right foot, they shot
well toward the shore on that side,
then bending gracefully to the left, the
weight was thrown on that limb, the
impetus being impaired to the body

art. These sweepings forward were
many rods in length, the polished steel
frequently giving out a metallic ring
as it struck the flinty ice. Now and
then, too, a resounding creak sped past
and might have alarmed them had they
mot understood its nature It indicated
no weakness of the frozen surface, but
was caused by the settling of the crys-
tai floor as the water flowed beneath.
For a few minutes these were the
only noise that broke the impressive
stiffness. The three had begun to
hope that the oninous sounds would be
heard no more. and that the wolves
were too far from the river to detect
them until beyond reach.
If they could once place themselves
below the animals. they need not fear,
for they could readily distance them.

He paused abruptly. From some
point in the wintry wilderness came a
dismal, resounding vail, apparently
mile distant.
What is that?' asked Montieth,
less accustomed to the Maine woods
than his companions.
TT is the cry of WOLF" replied
Fred; L have heard it many times
when hunting alone or with father"
1T isn't the most cheerful voice of
the night commented the young Bos-
tonian, who as yet never dreamed of
connecting it with any peril to them
selves.
And then he sang:

with less effort than they showed.
In truth, she was slightly in advance.
As they began following the curve of
the river, her head, like each of the
others, bent forward to see whi1her
they We're going.

1t was she who uttered the eXclhma-
ton which sent a. thrill through both.
They asked for no explanation, for
none was needed. An instant later

The sight. while alarming. was not
all that Fred and Monteith anticipated.
Three or four gaunt animals were
trohting along the ice near the left
shore. but no other were visible.
Keep in the middle while 1 take a
turn that way" said Monteith, sheer
ing in the direction named.
Brother and sister did not read the
meaning of this course, nor could they
detect its wisdom. But they obeyed
without question.
Young Sterry hoped by making what
might look like an attack upon the
furnishing pests, to scare them off for
a. few minutes, during which the three,
and especially Jennie, could reach a
point below them. With the brutes
thus thrown in the rear, it might be
said the danger would be virtually
over.
Now, as every one knows, the wolf
is a sneak and generally will run from
a child if it presents a. bold front; but
it becomes exceedingly dangerous
when pressed by hunger.
Montieth Sterry's reception was al
together different from what he anti
cipated. When the haf dozen wolves
saw him speeding toward them, they
stopped their trotting, and, like the
bear, hooked around, as though not
understanding what it meant. Instead
of fleeing, they continued standing, as
if they had decided to stay where they
were until the stranger came up and
introduced himself

did an unnecessary thing by shouting
(for the couple could not fail tor see

converged with perilous swiftness.
