Glass Made to resemble Wood.

From The Albany State.
A patent has been taken out for sin.
gular but ingenious process for making
glass veneers. The invention relates pri-
nlarily to the production of ornamental
glass, which may be either semi-transpar.
ent or Opaque, and is made to represent
highly polished wood of any description.
hen used for veneering, it is particularly
adapted for yestibule and other doors the
ar ce of polished wood, while in the interior
of the house 1t shows semi-transparent
The process by which this material is pro4
duced is to cloud a sheet of ground or plain
glass on one side with a liquid dye Of the
proper color to represent any. desired wood
The dye is applied by means of a sponge
which Is SO manipulated TO bring out the
semblance of the grain. Of the wood upon
the surface of the glass. A badger brush
is used to soften the shading. The glass is
then covered with photographers varnish.
This leaves the grain clear and fast, with
out the necessity Of using any gelatinous
substance. which would -rendefa{t liable to
crack and spoil the effect To complete the
operation, the glass is slightly heated, and
the various shades required for the particu-
lar wood to be initiated are caused to flow
over it by means of a syringe. The merg-
ing of the shadings into each other is pre-
whole is made semi-transparent by the ap-
plication of another coat of photogr aphers'
varnish, which preserves and protects the
dyes. The exterior surface then presents
the appearance of a finely polished, solid
wood finish.

said /, and with that 1 hallaoed to the
gendarmes and showed them the swinging
staircase. Five-ninutes after we were
down in filthy cellar in the bottom of the
house, standing oyer the motionless body
of my master. But his groans told US that
he lived, and when lights were brought we
knew to what he owed his life. He had
fallen on the dead body of another victim
of the Maison dor.
Well. that's II story of the phantom
staircase though there are some things
left you might ike to know. How did Sir
Nicolas Steele come to the snop, for in
got Grey into the house, which was one Of
the largest and one of the lowest dens in
Paris, they'd kept him drunk with the
drug, in the hope that he'd add money to
what they'd robbed him of. On the day
Jim and 1 set out for the cabaret Grey
had sent n messenger down to the Hotel
de Lille to get some of his traps and
things. Sir Nicolas came across this
messenger ana bribed the whole tale out
of him. After that he didn't want to lose
a minut3 tracing the nan, and he went
straight off to Montmartre, leaving word
at the police station of what he'd done.
The police had long been watching the
shop and when they heard that an En-
glishman was going there they sent gen.
darmes after him-and lucky, too, or this
story would not have been written.
How Sir Nicolas was so foolish as to
stand betwc en- US and the chance of a re-
ward, 1 only learned when he came to

consciousness. nine days after we took him
off the dead mans body in the cellar.
"And didn't l begin to be afraid of the
whole thing" said he; sure, the police
were watching me night and day As if 1
was a murderer. Reward or no reward,
l was glad to have done with it."
And that was the truth, though old Jona-
than Grey, after he'd heard what the police
had to say, paid over every shilling of the
money he'd promised. What's more, he
gave me hundred more for myself. But
he was out of Paris while my master lay
unconscious on his bed; and though Dora
Grey cried enough for three, her studies in
painting closed on the SPOT.
The Maiscn dor is pulled down now.
The city people took it last year for new
road they were making. I've no doubt
myself that many good man walked
down those stairs to his death. A more
cunning trap You couldn't find. We proved,
when went up some days after the
thing happened, that the whole fight of
steps swung on hinge at the top 1t was
caught at the bottom by a bit of the land
ing which projected. and which a spring
held in its place. And it was a better
weapon for rogue than any knife or

Indeed! What particular customs do

well, for one thing, I had not been
ashore more than an hour when spruce,
official-lookng man came up to me. He
showed a silver badge of some sort and
said he was a collector of the internal rev.
enue. He asked if 1 had paid my side
whsker license yet 1 told him that 1

the tax was 81 per year. He added that 1

He didn't wait for any more. but tumbed
down to the shed again, and when I'd
waited five minutes and had seen him come
out With half dozen loafers at his tailsaI
dragged the steps up to the wall, and then
used them to bridge the gap which lay be-

lily, the sill was old and broad; and though
the window itself was not more than three
feet square. it was unbarred. At any other
time 1 might have been a bit giddy clam
bering across that gap, for there was a
drop of near twenty feet below me, but
there were too many things running in my
head to let me think of that, and half a
minute hadn't gone before I'd forced the
window with my pocketknife and dropped
into a narrow passage on the second floor
of the Maison dor.
Ten seconds, perhaps, I stood to assure
myself that I was all right. Then I drew
my revolver. and, putting it to the full
cock, I began to look about me- 1t was
plain in minute that / was in a passage
with doors opening down one side of it..
The glimmer of a light showed at the far
end; but elsewhere it was all dark. and
