FROM the StGr, Valparaiso. IiG.
The attention Of the Star having been
called to several cases of radical cures eff

Pale People, it was determined to inves-
tigate some of the more notable of these
cases, with view to disseminating exact
information on the subject and benefitng

Mrs. Noren was found busily engaged
in household duties, but she found time to
detail her experience, and was willing and
even anxious that the benefits she had felt
should be told for the benefit of those who
had suffered as she did.

silnary skylight glass. This glass,
is its name implies, simply consists Of a
sheet Of glass of any desired thickness,
but usually about three-eights Of an
inch, having imbedded in its center a
sheet of wire netting of any required
size of mesh or design.
This form of glass is entirely hail
proof, and even if the glass is cracked
it makes little difference, as the wire
still holds it in place.
The wire netting, being placed in the
center of the glass, cannot be reached
by gases and consequently it does not
become corroded and eaten away. The
glass can be kept clean with little trou-
BILE, and transmits large amount of
light.
Wirc-glass also is in some demand for
use in shop windows where articles of
value are exposed, a finely polished glass
being employed. with an artistic design
of strong wire imbedded in it's center
For the manufacture of this glass three
iron rolls are used, mounted on Il proper
rolling table. These rolls are placed
about two feet apart, and the center one
instead of being smooth, has corrugations
running around it. All the rolls are hol
low and are kept heated by steam pass
ing through them. The glass. as it is
taken from the melting pot. is in Il pasty
ball or mass. and is placed on the roll
ing table and run under the first roll
which brings it down to flat pane of
the desired thickness.
AS the glass leaves this first roll
sheet of wire netting, which has been
heated, is placed on top of it. and as the
glass with the wire is drawn under the
second or middle roll, which is CORFU
gated, the corrugations on the roll force
the netting down into the center of the
glass, leaving the pane, as it comes from
the roll, in a ribbed condition.
The glass in this form now passes I'M
der the third roll, which smooths off the
ribs or corrugations, after which the
size and annealed in the usual manner
Glass of this description is capable of
sustaining considerable weight and when
properly set in it's frame will easily sup
port the weight of man. Stones or
other articles dropping on the glass from
above will not go through it, and to a
certain extent it is burglar-proof. as il
cannot be cut with diamond or broken
without a great deal of trouble.
The chief difficulty with the glass
seems to be that the wire netting ex-
pands when heated by the sun, while the
glass is not affected. This difference in
expansion. in some instances. causes the
glass to crack badly This, however
does not effect the usefulness of the
glass Immediately, but in time moisture
and gases pass through the cracks in the
glass to the wire, which is eaten away
and consequently there is nothing left
to support the glass.-Chcag Record.

of years ago the forefathers of these

HUMAN BLOOD AS BAIT.


New York Market.
James Partit and his children earn all
the money they make raising leeches.
For the work of breeding the blood
suckers on the Partit farm on Toms
river, near Lacy, n. J., is nothing com
pared with the labor of catching them.
The wary leech will take hold of
nothing but human flesh, so the MEM
bers of the Partit family, big and lit
tie, plunge their legs into the swamp
and draw them up presently with the
prey attached.
Farmer Partit doesn't seem to tank
a little blood-letting hurts one
snring physc," saws he "Why, me and
the boys get so fat and healthy doing
nothing all winter that we need some
thing like this to keep us in order. If
we tished too long at time they might
do some harm, but we know when to
stop. After the season is over we feel
fresher and better than if we hadn't
been leeching. They are just like mos
quitoes-they suck out all the bad blood
and leave the good and that's why, l
suppose, we feel so good after months
work in the swamp. l think we'd all
if it wasn't for the leeches. No man
could wade through such mud hole
without getting malaria unless some
thing helped him"
His farm yields half a million leech-
es year, and the price,, twenty or
thirty cents a hundred, gives an annual
income of $1,000 to the family. The
market is New York or Philadelphia,
wnere the leeches are distributed to the
trade.
Half Il century ago this would have
been great business, but the belief in
leeches has fallen off in this country.
Europe clngs to the practice. and Paris
consumes 100000 leeches yearly, while
London finds use for over 100000 a
year.
James Partit or his boys, when wad-
ing, discovered the presence of the leech
in his swamps. He looked up the sub
ject and decided that he would supply
the American market, which hitherto
had depended on Europe. He found
that buyers preferred the Hungarian
fellow of olive green, without spots, or
body, spotted below with black. He got
a few specimens and put them in the
pond. They multiplied rapidly after
their enemies, the water snakes, We're
exterminated, and soon the first leech
pond in the country was established.
The young are ready for market in
about a year but reproduction takes

is fifteen to twenty years. Usually Il
healthy man can fish in the swamp four
or five hours without losing enough
blood to exhaust him. The leech has
three jaws and from seventy to ninety
teeth. When these get going, in short
time the leech will swallow five times
his weight in blood.
All this is more pleasant than the
practice elsewhere about New York of

crepit old horses which have been con
demned to the boneyard.-New York
