There was once time when glass
was used only for window panes and
mirrors, but since then It has develop
ed into many different fields. by
means OF valuable strengthening pro-
cess, recently discovered, glass may
now be moulded into lengths ana used
as railway sleepers. Glass rails are
also produced by this same tOughenlng
process. 1t Is, therefore. possible to
have II complete glass railway. The
glass rails are turned out In sizes and
