CLOTH WINDOWS.
4 Substitute for Glass, which Never
Leaks and VIII Not Break.


Windows of cloth. instead OF glass. |
sounds like an impossibility, and yet II |
is reality, and the employment OF |
such substitute is an acknowledged |
success. II is not ordinary cloth, but a
translucent, through which light comes,
just as through glass. TO all intents
and purposes the cloth window is SINH
lar TO the sheets of glass, and lasts
ever so much longer, while stiil having
just as good an appearance.
Now. the remarkable feature Of the
new fabric Is that IL never leaks, does
not break, and IN nearly one-third
cheaper than glass. A large skylight
composed OF the new substitute for
glass. which has been IN constant use
long enough TO show its worth, remains
Ia perfect condition, not one cent hay
ing been spent on 1t for repairs.
The material has many advantages
claimed for il, chief Of which Is that by
It's employment in train sheds. freight
houses. large audltoriums and public
buildings having skylights OF large
area. the light weight Of the material
permits OF simple. inexpensive and
light form of skylight construction.
The joints are made water-tight by
special method used with this material.
The translucent fabric consists of
transparent material spread over steel
wire cloth. with twelve mcshes per
inch. which gives the panels n flexible
and elastic quality. permitting Its nd
jilsimenf TO any shape that the roof
structure may take. owing TO the ex-
pansiUn or contraction of the frame
work. The fabric Is strong. and Is
I made in panels. 1Sx38 inches in size,
and can carry weight of over 100
pounds per square foot.
/ II might he naturally assumed that
I the translucent qualities OF the fabric
would bc much inferior 10 that of
glass: but careful comparison has
shown that the amount OF light which
1t transmits equals that of ribbed glass
one-auarter Of an inch thick As II is
treated with special preparation, the
fabric Is impcryi0us 10 cinders. and
even hot Goals dropped upon II, and
will burn only when set fire 90 AT the
edges. Even then the flames make
slow progress. thus furnishing timely
warning.
Another argument In its favor Is that
Il Il greatly superior to even the finest
glass ms aeovcring for art galleries and
studios. FOR the reason that II viii new

feet protection 10 the valuable works OF
art Sometimes a heavy deposit oi

Excellent Farming Lands
A Good Fruit and Farming Region
Ralxa1x SzttIakI

A Good Fruit and Farming Region
Now Being Settled.
This tract of land lies in the Eastern part
of Colorado County and Northern part of
Wharton County, Texas, about fifty miles
west OF Houston, the great commercial CEN
ter of the state. The soil is a rich. produc-
tive sandy loan. This district in Texas
has plenty of rainfall for crops, and one OF
the necessities in order to secure a good
farm is TO have land that lays smoothly
and has high enough altitude for perfect
drainage, which can be secured in this
tract, as it is smooth rolling prairie, lying
on the divide between the San Bernardo
and Colorado Rivers.
This district has a mild, delightful
climate, enabling yon to produce some
thing almost each month in the year. An
other great advantage is that through this
tract there are two lines Of railroads, and
within the limits of this tract, which is
twelve miles North and South, and eight
miles East and West, there are two towns
located, one on each road, which gives spe-
cial advantages TO any farmer locating
there
We anticipate that you desire to invest
in lands for farm and home, where the
prices are low, the terms easy, and where
you can purchase and pay for the land in
three or four years, as cheaply as you are
now paying rent.
We run excursions to the lands over the
C., r. /. e. T. TO Fit. Worth, and from there
over the Santa Fe to W allis, Texas. We
secure you the lowest rates and will ac-

Episcopal Anecdotes.

A privately printed volume about the
Athenaeum Club just issued, has some
good stories about Bishops, many OF
whom are members. Perhaps the best
is that of the clerical dignitary who, be-
ing anxious to consult one of the
fathers on a theological point, asked
servant of the club. IF Justin Mar
tyr was in the library" II don't
think he's a member, my lord" was
porter"
The curious behavior of a Bishop is
thus described by an eyewitness: AS
/ stood looking outside the Athenaeum
the other day I saw a Bishop-a hum
BILE suffragan-drive up in a hanson
while he went into the club. A minute
or two later out came a real Bishop.
who guilelessly got into the waiting
hanson, and, being mistaken by the
ca bman for his original fare was
straightaway driven off. Then issued
cab led to his being Informed by a sec
ond cabman that it had been taken by
another gent in leggins.' Piqued at this
ribald allusion to the episcopal garb
the suffragan turned on his heel. But,
as he replaced his purse in his pocket,
marked the frown pass into a smile
Of satisfaction when he realized how
the wind was tempered to the shorn
lamb. st. James Gazette

A PROLOGUE

Then shall my strain in bitterness and rue
Sound but the jarring and the harsher
strings?
Shall no sweet chords yibrate or twinkle
through
Its heavier resonance, it's solemn swings?
Shall not there be, as in some cloud that
brings
Gloom to the heavens, some iris tint or
hue?
Shall not within it's darkness CLINT some
wings,
Fearless of storm or tempest, though the
OF lightning cleave and thunders shock
the air?
That shall be proven. But mine is no song
To tighten idle hours, or please the ear;
1t is not writ for music, and is long,
And, ike some torrent in its swift ca
Roars on it's course perchance less clear
Than turbulent and less serene than
strong.
So may it bet shall not seem to fear
More than the cateract upon its way
Though dashing headlong into foam and
spray!
At last the drops of every stream unite,
Owning their common source, and end
the sea.
'Tis so with all things known to mortal
They blend at last in one Eternity,
There is no ndependence-nought is
No mote of matter, and no thread of light,
And all is vain beyond the unity
OF Gods or natures laws: but only Man
Is born perverse, conspiring as he can.
Is it the fate of nations to decline
When at the seeming zenith of their
pride?
And may not we the palmer cause assign
Why Rome should perish than why
Caesar died?
Man born of woman is as near allied
To death as to the fancied air-drawn line
That sewers instants; yet the T1ber's
tide,
Dependent on the randrops, rolleth on
Beside the hopeless suppiiance of the Pan
theon. CHARLES l.. PAIGE.
