WINDOWS OF CLOTH.
A Substitute for Glass Which Never Leaks
and VIII Not Break.

Windows of cloth instead of glass
sounds like an impossibility, and yet
it is reality, and the employment of
such a substitute is an acknowledged
success. It is not ordinary cloth. but
such as is translucent. through which
light comes just as through glass. To
all intents and purposes this cloth Win
dow is similar to the sheets of glass.
and lasts ever so much longer. while
still having just as good an appearance.
Now the remarkable feature of this
new fabric is that it never leaks, does
not break and is nearly One-third
cheaper than glass. \ large skylight
composed of the new substitute for
glass. which has been in constant use
long enough to show its worth. remains
in perfect condition. not one cent hav-
ing been spent on it for repairs.
The material has many advantages
claimed for it, chief of which is that by
its employment in train sheds, freight
houses. large auditoriums and public
buildings having skylights of large
area. the light weight of the material
permits of a simple. inexpensive and
light form of skylight construction.
The Joints are made water-tight by a
The translucent fabric consists of a
transparent material spread over steel
wire cloth. with 10 meshes per inch
which gives the panels a flexible and
elastic quality permitting its adjust
ment to any shape that the roof struc-
ture may take, owing 10 the expansion
or contraction of the framework. The
fabric is strong and is made in panels
10 by Sc inches in size. and can carry
a weight of over 400 pounds per square
foot.
1t might be naturally assumed that
the translucent qualities of the fabric
would be much inferior to that of glass,
but a careful comparison has shown
that the amount of light which it trans
mits equals that of the ribbed glass
one-puarter of an inch thick. AS it is
treated with a special preparation. the
fabric is impervious to cinders or even
to hot Goals dropped upon it, and will
burn only when set fire to at the
edges Even then the flames will make
slow progress. thus furnishing timely
warning.
Another argument in its favor is that
Il is greatly superior TO even the finest
glass as a covering for art galleries and
studios, for the reason that it will never
leak. and therefore serves as a perfect
protection to the valuable works of art.
Sometimes Il heavy deposit of snow
serves to crack the heaviest glass sky
light, and often in lures paintings and
tapestries beyond restoration.-N. Y.

MR. CUMMINGS COSTLY FROGS.
Paid $50 Apiece for Them in France and
Cot Them bargain.

a Z. Cunning, Il lawyer OF this city,
while sr,ending his vacation in France
durin0 the mast summer, bought three
frops for which he paid the high price
of So each. Lest the publication of that
fact encourage local dealers to imagin"
that they may be able to work of more
frops on Mr.. Cunning at that fancy
price. it is well TO explain that the frogs
ne bought are not considered good to
eat. that they are so small that a good
meal of them would cost several hun
dred dollars, and that he is not passion
atelv fond of that sort of diet. These
frogs are simply good to look at. They
are only about 31a inches long, when
fully extended, and possibly fraction
over an inch high when sitting up to
take an interest in their surroundings,
or half that thickness when they flat
ten themselves out on the glass OF their
aquarium home and stick there, for
hours al, a time, like gobS of green mud.
Their backs and sides are of n pretty
shade of green, which changes to the
exact tint of any foliage. lighter or
darker green, upon which they place
themselves. Their bellies are white,
their Threats bright yellow, their eyes
shining black. and over each eye is a
crescent of bright gold.
The variety of frogs to which they
belong has been found only in the fresh
water Iagoons running into the Medi-
terranean, and even there they are not
abundant nor is their capture easy.
These were bought at Hyeres, near
Toulon. and were considered Il good
bargain at the price Mr. Cunning paid.
There is considerable diversity OF color
among these found. and their value de
ponds altogether upon their beauty.
Sometimes one is found darkly beauti-
fully blue. and it is worth $500, that
color being exceedingly rare.
They are very dainty little creatures.
Fresh pure water must be given to
them every day. and they will eat moth
ing but live winged insects from which
the stings have been extracted. Mr..
Cunning has been urged to try the eff
feet upon one of giving to it a healthy
bee in working order. but refuses to do
so, fearing that the experience might
shock too greatly the nervous system
of his costly pets. They will not touch
insects with hard wing cases. such as
Cockroaches. and high-f1avored ones
bedbugs, for inStance-are scorned by
them. And they do not know thai
worms of any kind are good for frogs.
When one of the little crea lures is put in
possession of a huge night moth, bigger
than itself, it begins swallowing by the
head, and neatly folding in the broad
spreading wings by dainty manipulate
ing with its hands. gradually gets the
insect down, sometimes taking as much
as half an hour in the process.
Mr.. Cunning is now occupying his
leisure in educating his frogs They
know him, perch fearlessly on his fin
gers. and have learned to jump over Il
trapeze. climb a rope. and do other
things that encourage him TO hope for
high development of their Abilities

COUNTIES ON SHIPPING.
japanese Trade Has SO Increased That
Claims viii Soon Exceed the Grant.


\ curious difficulty has just arisen
IN Japan in connection with navigation
Eounties. Employment had to be found
for all tonnage purchased during the
war for transport and general military
and naval purposes, which, of course,
at the conclusion of the war became
part of the general mercantile marine
OF the country. For this purpose, says
the Manchester Guardian, new lines

cific ports of the United States and
European ports We're subsidized under
the terms of Il law passed during the
last session. \ limit on the gross
amount 10 he paid in bounties was
fixed by the law. 1t now appears be-
Nond question that the claims under
the provisions of the statute will vast
" exceed the limit. During the ten
years for which the policy of the act
was to be in. force the annual grant
was to rise from about 100000 to ST.
OCG.00O. But the government now finds
that with the present activity in ship
ping enterprise in Japan two years
hence the claims will be s.. 600, 600. and
at present far exceed the appropriation
for the YEAR The authorities do not
want to amend their law at the very
outset. and they cannot pay the claims
if things GO on as they are doing. Ac-
cOrdingly. they are whiting down the
liberal provisions of the act in n way

lative kind have their claims struck out.
Even so, however, the substantial diff
Guilty remains that genuine claims for
the bounty are greatly in excess Of the

Tobacco Chewer on a Lake Steamer Gets

\ distinguished lady from the con-

Last summer a party of ladies took
passage on one of the steamers ply
ing between Chicago and st. Joseph
for pleasant sail on the lake. To
enjoy the full benefit of the breeze they
sought the prov of the boat. Plump

for stools. butall gave him wide berth.
When the space had been pretty well

Lord and Lady Brassey gave their ball

room with peculiarly appropriate en-
vironments, for a ball had been held
the night before. The floor was so
highly polished that French chalk had

and the commands indicated a blend of

When a little one is expected in the
family how lovingly the parents plan
together for its future welfare. They
sometimes even forecast its education
ana career. Does this seem too early
to anticipate while the child is yet
unborn? 1t isn't. The child's destiny
has already been partly mapped out by
Nature according to the disposition
and habits Of the parents. The best
pl an a moth er can make for the future
happiness of her unborn chilt Is to
maintain her own cheerfulness and
health while her child's undeveloped
being is still a part of hers. Her

young lady organist in Montreal
was anxious to make good impression
on a visiting clergyman one Sunday.
Her organ was pumped by a somewhat
self-wilIed old sexton, who had his own
ideas as to how long an organ volun-
tary should last and would "shut off
the wind when he thought there had
been enough. On this particular Sun
day the organist thorght she would
forestaIl any such accident by writing
an appeal in the early part of the serv-
ice and giving it to the sexton. The old
man received the note and supposed it
was for the minister. In spite of her
frantic reckoning he went straight to
the pulpit with the note and the as
tonished preacher read this message:

NEW YoRK. March 31.-England is
favorite resort of American tourists at
this season of the year, who travel to
England in the spring for the races and
to bask in the fine spring sunshine.
America is well represented on the
British turf at present Richard Croker
is established for the season in a palatial
mansion in London, and his racing estab-
lishment is one of the most impressive
in the kingdom.
Mr.. Croker did not win any great
amount of money last year, but this time
he will make bold stroke for fame and
fortune by contesting for Derby honors.
His fine colt Montauk is entered for the
Derby and has been backed to win $50,
COO. Those who know Mr.. Croker and
are familiar with his system declare that
he will break the English bookmaking
fraternity on this race. Montauk is an
outsider in the betting ON the Derby, and
his owner is man of wealth.
There are three other Americans on
the English turf this year. Pierre LoriI-
lard, the millionaire tobacco man, has a
score OF rhoroug hbreds in training at
Newmarket, under the Watchful eye of
John higgins, and Ed Wishard is quar-
tered at the same track with the best
horses of the Wishard s. McCafferty
string. Lester Reiff will ride for Wish
ard on the other side. The Kansas boy
crossed the briny last autumn and has
ever since been riding TO hounds about
Newmarket to get in condition for the
racing season.
