ests at the proper time by obtaining
patents from the United States patent
Office, and has already, it is under
stood, taken steps in that direction.
The inventor, who has been expert
menting a long time, has goblet made
of the malleable glass, which he can
drop on any hard floor without break
ing. If it becomes hattened, he can
readily restore it to its proper shape
by pressing it back with his hands.
The material is said to be harder than
ordinary glass, and to possess a ten
sive power greater than iron. The in
ventor believes that the discovery of
malleable glass will be one of the
greatest inventions of this century,
and, among other things, will revolu-
tionize shipbuilding, as by his process
vessels can be constructed of glass in
stead of iron.

MALLEABLE GLASS. - Among

MALLEABLE GLASS. - Among the
many new inventions is one of more
than ordinary interest, and for which,
it is said, that before long an applica-
ton will be filed at the United States
patent Office for a patent. 1t is the
discovery of a process for obtaining
malleable glass. In ancient times glass
was, by some process, made malleable,
but it has long since been numbered
along with the hardening Of copper,
and other processes of the ancients,
with the lost arts. The inventor or
discoverer of the art of making glass
malleable says that it is very simple,
and is accomplished by mixing some
sort of a chemical, or chemicals, with
the glass. AS the process could readi-
ly be discovered by any chemist by
analyzing it, he will protect his inter-

Burns sterling kindliness Of heart
was shown in his manner Of discharging
the not always kindly duties of excise
man. One clear moonlight morning he
was awakened by the clang Of horses at
o gallop. He started up, looked out at
the window and to his wife, who asked
eagerly what it was, he whispered,
cts the noise of smugglers, Jean. "
"Then, Rob, l fear ye maun follow
them," she said. "And so I would" he
answered, $50 I would readily were it
Will Gunnion or Edgar Wright, but it's

three weans and is no doin over weel in
his farm. What can I do?" His wife
drew him away from the window. 1t is
said that many such stories could be
told. For all that, Burns was an active
and honest public servant.

timated that the coming census will

things, the falling off of immigration

Diseases in Manila.

Once more the Surgeon Generals Office
is panied and surprised 10 discover that
epidemic disease has a good start in the
camps, this time in Manila. The fourteen
deaths from smallpox in a total of nine
teen is proof that known sanitary precau-
tions were neglected. There is no more
reason why this contagious affection should
rayagc n military camp than well regu-
lated town. Indeed, there is less, for the
medical men have absolute authority and
opportunity 10 use it effectively. In city
there may be friends Of the sick who dis
regard the exact instructions OF health
authorities and carry the seeds from one
TO another but the soldier can be per-
fectIy secluded. Yet it is the rarest of
things for a smallpox epidemic 10 become
Widespread in a town with modern sani-
Jary officials. Typhoid fever is far more
insidious aud more difficult 10 restrict yet
4 typhoid epidemic is regarded almost as
crime. As General Sternberg says, there
should be no difficulty in preventing The
spread of smallpox, yet spread it has
among the volunteers at Manila.
i suggests laxity in discipline when
soldiers are allowed to subject themselves
to the coutagion Of smallpox in town.
Fourteen deaths. unless the disease is
peculiarly Nirulent, mean many subjects,
for the death rate is no longer high. II is
fair 10 assume that no great number of
soldiers placed themselves under condi-
Cons where infection was easy outside the
camp and that, therefore, early and effect
i've precautions against coutagion in camp
we're not taken. The sad experiences of
military surgeons with epidemic disorders
in The American camps Of mobilization be-
fore he troops went to the Philippines
should have been sufficient, it is reason
able 10 think, 10 place them on guard in a
tropical climate. Here, almost in sight OF
The Surgeon Generals Office, typhoid de-
