( A substitute for Glass in skyliRlts.
Glass has hitherto been the best ma
terial known for skylights, but it was
forever cracking, breaking and leaking
owing to the effect on it of heat, cold,
blows, storms, expansion, contraction,
etc. To overcome these defects many
and various forms of skylight frames
have been invented, but the troubles
are not materially lessened. The in
PRODUCTION of iron and steel in the con-
struction of buildings has made mat
terra worse for the glass skylight. The
aapausion and contraction of the metal
nhsuework plays havoc with the glass,
and the yearly cost of repairing is con-
siderable. To meet the need for a
more durable skylight material a trans-
lucent wire cloth has been invented,
which, when filled in with a semi
transparent, impervious substance,
does all that glass can do and a great
deal more. While transmitting a large
amount Of light, it is strong. flexible,
weather-proof, durable and practically
unbreakable. The substance covering
the wire cloth is composed almost en-
tirely of boiled linseed oil, which is
subjected to an oxidizing process. The
material is claimed to be virtually
f1re-proof, and to cost much less than
glass skylights. .

OLD BELLS FROM PANAMA.

They Were Cast Centuries Ago and
Will Be placed in n Museum.
Two old and remarkable bells have
Just been received by the Cincinnati
Bell Foundry company from Panama,
South America.
The gentleman who shipped them
from Panama states in a letter that
these bells have an interesting history.
The letter reads:
"You might desire to know some
thing of these two old bells sent you,
outside of a commercial value. The
small one was east in the year 1000.
and the large one in 1920. They have
been useless as bells for years. but
have served to carry back the thoughts
of the Spanish populacc here to Inc
old days when this continent was not
so great and SO thickly populated AS ut
present.
81 am very sorry that public spirit
was not of a sufficient character to
| keep them. as q relic of the old days
when our forefathers fought with the
natives and the wild animals which in
tina. time were plentiful in this region.
"srhe small bell was first placed in a
rudeiy constructed Catholic church.
1t served both as a call to worship and
an alarm when there was danger from
the natives. For many years 1T re-
| NAMED in this old church, but was
eventually transferred to the steeple
| of a new church at about the year 100.
From this editice it was again moved
to n newer one, always with great
po,ap and ceremony, and each time
~consccrated by the bishop. But, like
| all ether things of earth, it became old,
broken and was finally abandoned as
useless and thrown among a lot OF
church rubbish. though it had a his
tory Of the country, and is probably
the oldest bell in America.
1.-THE history of the large bell, cast
in 1920, is similar to that of the small
one, excepting that 1t vas placed III
the steeple of the San Rafael church,
and remained there until it had be-
come useless"
The bell cast in 1870 bears the fol.
lowing inscription:
rs. Rafael, ammo Domini De, 1920
These two old bells are peculiar in
shape as compared with those of the
present day. The top of the bells is
nearly as large as the base. They are
made of the highest quality of copper,
with a mixture of silver. Both of the
bells indicate that they have received
rough usage. From all appearances il
seems that after the clappers were
lost a sledge hammer was used &c
strike them.
The Cincinnati Art museum has
made application for these bells, and
they will be placed on exhibition there
The small bell weighs 100 pounds and
the large one 200. The crown by which
the bells were hung seems to have rot
ted away in part from old age.-Cin

WOMEN AND CARD-PLAYING.

The Gambling Feature and Other
Harmful Featurcx Discusncd.
In the Ladies' Home Journal Edward
w. BOX enters editorial protest against
progressive card parties, as they are ut
present conducted, aid against card
playing in the daytime. Progressive
card-playing, Mr.. Bob contends, has
passed from its primary miss:on-a
pleasant form of diversion-and taken
a place as a social function, creating
rivalrics in the magniticence Of the
hospitality, and IN the value of the
| prizes bestowed by the hOstesses. In
fact, the writer asserts that "the pro-
gressiye care. playing of to-day Is moth
ing more nor less than Il system of
gambling 1t may be a proper and
entneEtly respectable form of gam
bling but the element of chance has
come into the game, and that most dis
tinctly. 1t is simply a question OF how
respectable gambling can he made.
That is ALL"
With reference to the i:nproprict.y of
card-nlnying in the daytime, MI. Box
asserts that it is worse and more seri-
GUS than a waste Of time. ut has q
bad moral influence; it engenders q
spirit that is fatal to wonaan's happlest
wnv OF living. l make no dis
tinction here" he says, "betwecn wo-
men who have homo ties and women
| who have not; the wrong Of the thing
is simply a question of degree. The
one has no right to play cards during
the daytime; the other women cannot
afford to. y y y 1t is not my plea
sure, but my misfortune, to know some
women who are addicted to this card
habit; and the study of them is both
interesting and pitiable. Evidently
their thoughts rarely rise above the
card table. Talk to them about books,
art, music, the theater, the topics OF
the day-anytliing, I care not what,
and their answers are as monOsyllaolc
as their interest is languid. But men,
ton cards. and in a moment a sparkle
of interest me to their eyes, and
they are ready for business! What q
subject, after all, to arouse interest,
when one thinks Of it! What an ambi.
ton, what a distinction, to be adjudged
a good card-player! = Do not
adjudge ne severe or uncharltable un'
til your next appearance Mt a pro
gressive card-party,' and then take Q
few moments and look calmly around
you. Study the women who are there
They may be your friends. But look
at them away from that standpoint
Judge them ilnpartially and quietly.
Stop and think a little of what they
represent. And then. If you have eyes
and will see you will agree with me
in this kindly-intentioned statement
that the best type of III American
woman is not to be found at the card
table during daylight hours"

celatine in s~tatuette MoldinE.


1t has been found that gelatine pos
sesses the curious property Of becom-
ing insoluble in contact with formic
aldehyde, and, at the same time, OF
preserving perfect transparency. In
this form it resists water, acids and
alkalies. 1t resembles celluloid, but
has the great advantage of not being
infammable. 1t gives excellent molds
of statuettes, seals, coins. etc. Fol
this purpose two pounds of good white
gelatine should be stepped over night
in a quart of water. The next day the
whole is melted over a water bath. For
delicate holdings the solution is di'

HIDDEN JEwELRY IN INDIA.
The Hindoo's FavOrite Method o
Escaping the Tax.Gatherer.

The Hindoo's Favorite Method of
Escaping the Tax-Gatherer.
Never during its existence. has
India been SO rich In jewelry as now.
The people are always adding to their
stock. Savings from nearly all sources
are disposed of in this way, and these
savings are being constantly made
often at the expense of clothing,
sometimes at the expense of greater
necessaries Of life. The making and
the storing away of wealth in this
form is the national popularity Of the
country.
Jewelry is regarded as the most
stable kind Of wealth, and fortunes
are never counted without estimating
the value of the stock Of jewelry. 1t
can always be pledged or disposed of.
The market for its sale is never closed
and never depressed. The most ignor-
ant native who wishes to sell a piece
of jewelry know its market value
quite ell. He can scarcely be cheat
ed.
Jewelry forms the greatest factor
in matrimony. The most lowly bride
has her stridhan, which is occasion
ally equal in value to five years in
come Of the bridegroom. There is
often a scarcity of clothing, some
times a scarcity Of cooking pots, gen.
orally not a particle of furniture, but
nearly always a stock of jewelry. The
wife that has no jewelry possesses
nothing else; she can not be robbed.
The family that does not have jewelry
Is absolutely INDECENT.
One of the greatest boasts of the
jewelry owner is that his boards can
not be taxed. A man may own jew.
elry value at a lakh Of rupees and
pay no income tax. This is a ource
of great satisfaction. Jewelry yields
no recurring income, but it is priced
more than government paper. If II
never increases it never diminishes,
is a national saying, common among
men and women alike. No native
marriage, except among the most i'm.
poverlshed, takes place without a
transfer of jewelry, and very frequent,
