SUBSTITUTES FOR GLASS.
Three Compositions Coming Into Use In
Europe.

Three Compositions Coming Into Use In
Europe.
There are several substitutes for glass
in use in Germany, the chief among |
them being tectorium, fonsterpappe and |
hornglas. Tectorium consists Of gal
vanized iron web covered with q gelat-
inous substance aud is translucent, but
not transparent 1t is described as a
substance that can be bent without be-
ing broken and is both tough aud flexl-
BILE. II is said not to be softeDed by the
rays Of the sun, is nonsoluble, and IS
not affected by severe cold. 1t is a poor
conductor of heat and is we'll adapted
for roofs on accountof its extreme light
ness
Whom exposed to the sun, it loses it's
original yellowish color III time and be-
comes harder and more durSble. one
advantage is that it can be easily re-
paired in case it is cut, docs not break
and is we'll adapted for factory windows
ana skylights for hothouses, markot
halls, verandas, transportable buildings
and for roofing.
For ordinary hotbeds and forcing
houses, such as are used by most florists
and market gardeners, there is another
and cheaper substitute for glass IN the
so called fensterpappe, which is a tough
strong MANILA paper, that may be
stretched OH large sashos or frames and
saturated by painting the exposed sur
face with boiled linseed oil until it be-
comes translucent and impervious &c
water. Light wooden frames, 40 inches
in width, and of any desired length, arc
provided and covered with the paper,
which is fastened by mailing at the
edges and then painted with ordinary
boiled linseed oil until tho paper Is sc
saturated that the last coat Of oil forms
a smooth, glistening surface, like var
nish. AS soon as dry the frame Is ready
for use. It admits sufficient light fo.
growing plants, does not require to b
shaded in hot sunshine, is light, dur
able, secare against breakago b. hail o
ordinary accident, ard, taking every
thing into account, is said to be abou
100 times cheaper than glass. 1t /
largely used by florists and market gar
deners in the district CT Frankfort, an
their general verdict is strongly IN 1t
favor, although fer handsome conserva
tories, skylights, osc., it possesses les
durability and none Of the neatness an
elegance of tectorium.
Finally, there is a new product, caile
hornglas, which has been recently pa
ented and placed on the German markc

A pbpadelph,a strcet Car Idyl.

The old Callovhill street horse cars,
relics Of tho antotrolley days, were nsvei
remarkable for great speed. A lady ano
gentleman boarded one Of these cars the
other night about 80 O'Clock ano
after Jogging along for several blocks
the car came TO a standstill. Then the
front door opened and the drivers heao
appeared. 'Say, ELL, ," it called back
to the conductor, "won't you ran ovoi
to the drug store and buy me u stamp
I've got to write TO my girl tonight.
Nothing loath, Bill did as requested and,
after a short chat with the clerk, saun'
tered leisurely back to his car. At Six
teenth street the lady and gentleman
alighted expecting to take north
bound car, but none was in sight. Turn
ing to the conductor, the gentleman 20
marked jestingly "You kept us waiting
while you got your stamp. Why no
wait here until our car comes?" Bill
motioned TO the driver, who was watch
ing him, and said: Jim, this gen
wants me TO wait here until their ca
comes. Can't we 90 it," "Why, cert,
replied Jim. The Sixteonth street car
were blocked, and it was ten minute
before one came along. GOOD night,

The Eirst Astronnmr.

The beginnings Of astronomy were on
the tops Of towers Of Babylon and the
pyramids of Egypt. 1t is believed by
many writer's that both classes of struo'
lures were erected for astronomical pur-
poses As early as the time Of job,
nearly 1000 years before Christ, most
Of the stars had been divided into con-
stellations. The writer of job mentions
Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades as being
familiar. The modern science dates
from the labors OF Copernicus, Tyoho,
Brains aud Newton.

OUR FUTURE PROSPERITY.

The boom of prosperity which has so
long been talked about has not, as yet,
materialized to the satisfaction of the
people There is a reason for this, out |
side of any partisan view while those |
best acquainted with the causes which !
led TO the hard times, as well as with the
resources of the country, give it as
their unbiased opinion outside of poll
tics, that there is every reason to ex-
pect a steady increase of business
throughout the country for several
years to come. This is better than a
boom" The mere word boom" indi-
Gates something unstable, while what
we need is a moderate, but permanent,
increase of prosperity. Something that
is growing better from day to day and
year to year, with no backslidings.
The cause of the hard times was no
doubt largely owing to over-produc-
tion, resulting in the stoppage of manu-
factories and lowering the prices of the
agricultural products. These causes do
not longer exist. The over stocks have
been depleted and foreign market has
been found for our overplus of agricul-
tural products. This indicates n de-
mand for these things greater than has
existed for some years past, and as a
result, the business outlook is good.
Many people fear that the operation
Of a new tariff will be disastrous to the
business interests of the country ant
deprecate what they call tariff tinker
ing. But this should not be looked
upon as an entirely unmixed evil A
all events, it is no use to borrow
trouble from this cause. IL is clear I,
all parties that the government viii
have to have a tariff for revenue, ant
if the one now in course of formation
succeeds in producing this and remove
the financial difficulties of the govern
ment it will help rather than put bac
our business prospects.
Business prosperity largely depend
upon the financial condition of tn
government 1t cannot we'll be Othei
wise, while the government issues a

and is responsible for the whole
it. But even allowing this and di
avowing any desire to discuss the fnal
cial question, we feel that there is re
son to believe that the business pro
poets Of the country will slowly, b
surely, improve.
One reason for this is the confden
