GLASS PAVEMENTS.
New Use to Which 1t is Being Put In
Lyons Palace for Paris.

Consul John c. Covert has written
from Lyons to the state department an
interesting letter upon the new uses
of glass. In it he tells of pavements of
ceramic stone or devitrified glass which
have been laid on principal street thor
oughfares in Lyons, and which under
heavy and continuous traffic for several
months have shown no greater deteri-
Grafton than marks the similar life of
stone pavements. He says glass is be
ing made into material known as
ceramo-crystal, and is being widely
used for buildings and interior deco
rations, much as cut stone. The new
material possesses all the intrinsic
qualities, physical and chemical, of
glass, except the transparency, and at
the same time is made to resist crush
ing, frost, heavy shocks and to stand
usage. A proposition to erect glass
house, or luminous palace, at the Paris
exposition next year will likely be
pushed, and the building will present
completely the possibilities of glass as
a structural material.

TRAFFIC HAMPERED.
Good Roads Sermons Taken Mt Ran,
dom from IA Number of Illinois
Local Newspapers.

That the good roads fad" has more
of a foundation than have many of the
roads themselves, is apparent to any
one who is in position to read the pa
pers of the land. From the local papers
of a single state Qllinois), where roads
are about as they are in many other
states-we CLEAN the following: At
the doctors are taking the train when
they can to go TO see their patients, and
when that is not convenient, they
walk" At Pleasantview ''the warm
weather stopped the wood haulers,
owing to bad roads" At Jacksonville
a news agent announces that ION and
after January Is, the delivery of Sun
day papers will be discontinued on all
streets not paved, until the conditions
of the roads improve" At Plymouth
Goal is again in demand by many of
our people. The roads have been so
everlasting muddy, the haulers of coal
from the ridge could not get in with a
load" a Bloomington paper says: I'm
most towns of central Illinois, grain
hauling is suspended until the roads
are BETTER" etc.
Now, all of the going would lead one
to infer that the good roads movement
has more back of it than 'a mere hand
full of bicyclists, who want farmers to
build good roads, so that cycling may
be enjoyed by those city fellows"
1t is gratifying to know that even the
farmers are now looking at the question
in the right light, and are showing dis
position to work hand in hand with
cyclists for the benefit and betterment
of all concerned.-Good Roads.
