Making Plate Glass.

A visit to a plate glass works re-
veals nothing perhaps more interesting
than the casting tables on which the
heavy plate glass used in most store
windows is cast. THE casting tables"
said the superintendent of a large New
York plate glass factory to a reporter
recently, are the most important
pieces of apparatus in this establish
ment Each table is about 20 feet long.
10 feet wide and from 7 to 8 inches
thick. The heavy strips of iron on
either side of the tables afford a bear
ing for the rollers and determine the
thickness or diameter of the glass to
be cast.
The rough plate is commonly nine
sixteenths of an inch thick, but after
polishing it is reduced to six or seven
sixteenths. All casting tables are
mounted on wheels which run on
track made to reach every furnace and
annealing oven in the factory. The
table having been wheeled as near as
possible to the melting furnace a pot
of moulten glass is lifted by means Of
a crane. and its contents poured quick
ly out on the table A heavy iron
roller then passes from end to end,
spreading the glass 10 UNIFORM thlcK-
ness. This rolling operation has to be
done by expert hands quickly, as the
boiling glass, when it comes in con-
tact with the cold metal of the table
cOOls very rapidly. When the rolling
process has been completed. the door
of the annealing oven is opened and
the plate of glass is introduced. The
floor of the annealing oven is on the
same level as the wheels of the casting
table, so that the transfer can be made
by rail quickly When the glass is
ready to be taken out of the oven its
surface is very rough In this con-
dition it is used for skyights and other
purposes where strength is desired
rather than transparency. But when
intended for windows it is ground,
smooth and polished, and is then ready
for the market"

the police power of the states. whether
South Carolna's dispensary law will be per
mitted to stand on the same footing remains
to be seen.
The extent to which the shipment of origi.
nal packages OF stimulants into the Palmetto
state is carried on may be inferred from
statement in the Savannah News of recent
date. That paper says That the liquor mer-
chants of savannah have been overwhelmed
recently with orders from South Carolina for
"original packages" of liquor. There was
one shipment last week by single firm of
10000 original packages each consisting of
single bottle in separate box. Some of the
bottles held a half pint, some pint, and
others quart Soft pine is the material
from which boxes for this great and increas
ing trade are made, and they are neatly con-
structed. A large force of girls and young
men were employed for two days In prepar
ing this shipment. The News states that one
Savannah firm has twenty.four agencies in
South Carolina and ships on an average two
carloads of liquor week there.
Many other cities in various states share
with Savannah in this branch of interstate
commerce, so that it is quite evident that the
dispensaries are suffering from a competition
which, If not checked, must be fatal Suppos.
ing one Savannah firm to have onctenth of
the business, the aggregate would be twenty
carloads week, quite sufficient for reason
able amount of hilarity and an occasional
instance of something less desirable.

ALASKAN REINDEER

When the gold fields of Alaska an
the approach thereto, as well as tn
enthusiasm of fortune hunters, hau
become literally ice blanketed, tn
question which every man asks hi ,
neighbor is not How much will they
get?" but How long can they last?r
and the cry Beware or you'll starve!N
comes home not only to the prisoner
of the Yukon, but to every man who
thought of doing likewise and didn't.
There is one man who claims tina
he solved the problem long ago; and
If he could have his way, Alaska might,
at this moment, be a very different
place to live in. This man is Rev
Sheldon Jackson, who went to Alaska
first as a missionary, but has now at
tanned the position of United States
agent of education in Alaska.
1t is his scheme to introduce IVi1-
deer into the territory as fast as posi-
BILE. The experiment has been tried
and proved a success.
1t was as far back as 1893 that con-
gress made an appropriation, whic"
was small, to meet the expense of the
introduction of that useful ANNA,
the reindeer, into Alaska. The exper"
iment was not regarded as very prom
Using at first, but it seemed desirable
that it should be made. In many parts
of Alaska horses cannot be used on ac.,
count of the character of the country
and dogs which the natives employ for
draught purposes are fit only for the
lighter kinds of service. 1t was thought
that the reindeer, which is so largely
utilized in Lapland, was the animal
needed for Alaska
ITO the Laplander," says a traveller,
the reindeer is invaluable, being, in
fact, his horse, his OK, and his sheep
in one animal. AS a draught animal
its speed, endurance, and particular
adaptation to travelling on snow rem
der it most valuable to people dwelling
in the frozen ATTITUDES. 1t has been
known to run at the rate of nineteen
miles an hour. and it is not unusual
for it to travel $50 miles in nineteen
hours. The weight ordinarily drawn
by it in Lapland is 240 pounds, but it
can draw 300. Its meat is delicious

food for man; its skin is valuable and
the milk of the herds is often the prin
cipal support of the owner and his fam
lily"
Very interesting news about the
Alaska reindeer has been received.
From report recently sent to Wash
ington it is learned that they are get
ting along finely. The herds have
increased in the natural manner until
at this time there are more than l 200
head in them. This number is very
sure to be increased by many thousand
within few years. Millions of them
could exist in Alaska upon reindeer
moss, which exists there in abund-
ance
Hardly any information as to the
employment of the animal in the terri
tory has been received up to this time,
and nothing has been heard of their
rendering service to any of the mining
parties or pleasure seekers, but it is
known that their Laplander keepers
are preparing to make use of them in
the mining regions, and the United
States government, which is their own
er, will probably before the end OF
the year, turn them to account by en-
ployng them for transportation of
the mails up the Yukon Valley. The
reindeer express, sweeping along over
the snow at the rate of sixteen or
eighteen miles an hour, will rank high
among the other wonders to be seen
in the snowy wilds of Alaska, and may
be expected to brighten the heavy foot
ed bears that have roamed around
there through the long ages.
1t is to be supposed that in the
course of time the government will
make provision for the sale of the rein
deer to citizens who may desire to
purchase them. 1t cannot make use of
the great herds which are expected to
come into existence before many years
have passed. The price of them ought
not to be beyond the means of people
In ordinary circumstances, for they
can be raised at small expense, and
they can find their own forage wherev-
err they go in Alaska.
When the Alaskan can procure the
animals for himself, can make use of
them for travel or the transportation
of his goods. can make use of their
flesh for food. and can make use of
their skin to keep out the cold, the
attractions of life in Alaska will not
be confined to the gold fields.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA Liquor LAW.

The following editorial from the Wash
ington Post shows the disastrous results
of the decision of the supreme court in
regard to South Cardinals new and
famous temperance law. This law as
has been noticed in this paper is copied
from the Norway and Sweden law,
which rescued those countries from the
gulf of intemperance, making them them
among the most temperate instead of in
temperate countries of the world. 1t
was working admirably in South Caro-
lima, absolutely preventing all Illegal
sale of liquors, but striking an unsym-
pathetic court it has received its quietus,
and the hoodgates of liquor are opened
again npon South Carolina, in spite of
the earnest protest of her people. 1t is
a terrible responsibility for a court to
take, to overthrow the wishes of the
people on question like this in which
are necessarily involved the fundamental
morality-and do it for the interests of
liquor sellers.
The father and other relatives and friends
OF the South Carolina dispensary law have
cause toI the most serious anxiety as to
the fate of that unique experiment in politics
and finance. Unless congress passes and the
United States supreme court sustains an act
empowering South Carolina to exclude all
shipments of liquor from other states, except
those purchased under the provisions of the
dispensaTy law, that statute Will soon become
one of the most thoroughly def met OF all
dead letters. The Wilson act, passed by
congress after the original package decision,
gives to states which have prohibitory laws
such as Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and
Kansas-authority TO shut out from their re
spectiYe borders any and all kinds of intoxi
eating liquors. Whether congress will under
take to do this for commonwealth that has
made the liquor trade a state monopoly foI
revenue purposes, remains to be seen; and
if congress should graciously consent ia
oblige Senator Tillman by passing such an
act as he desires the supreme court may moi
deem II constitutional Prohibitory laws
despite their non.enfOrcement, are regarded
by congress and the supreme court as within

AN AMENDMENT NEEDED.

A communication printed elsewhere in
this issue of the REGISTER calls atten-
ton to an apparent defect in the present
state law relating to the registry of
births. The section referred to reads as
follows:
SEC. 6. Any physician. midwife, or other
person who may be present at the birth OF a
child shall, as soon thereafter as possible, re-
port to the town or city clerk the date, place
of birth of each child, the sex, the names,
birthplaces, and residence OF the parents, ana
the occupation of the father as far as these
facts are obtainable. Any person failing to
furnish such information in writing, to the
town or city clerk within ten days after
BIRTH shall forfeit and pay to the town or city
a sum of not less than five dollars.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Benefits OBJ
lection is well taken. As he says, few
children are christened within ten days
of their birth, and as a result the records
will be passed down to posterity with
out any practical value beyond that at
tached to census statistics.
If the Brdport town records bear so
small proportion of full and complete
records of births, it is reasonable to as
sumo that the books of other towns
throughout the state are similarly defec-
tive. This condition ought not to be
tolerated, once it has been called to the
attention of our lawmakers. The i'm
portance of birth registers in establish
ing identity is too apparent to need
dwelling upon.
Aside from the importance at law of a
legal record of the birth of every child,
there is the no less desirable feature of
historical value in such records. This
fact will appeal with double force to
members of historical societies and anti
quarians. Call it a sentimental within,
if you WILL but they are few who would
not wish to have the public records es-
tablish their birthright.
