NEW USE FOR GLASS.
Ceramocry~tal Successfully Used In
the Construction of y street
IN Lyons, France.

John C. Covert, United States consul
at Lyons, reports that last October q
paving company there began laying a
piece of pavement of ceramocrystal, or
devitrified glass, laid in the form OF
blocks, eight inches square, each block
containing 16 parts, in the form OF
checkers, fitted together SO that water
cannot pass between them, and the
whole pavement looks like one large
checkerboard. The advantages claimed
are that it offers greater resistance
than stone; that it is poor conductor
of cold, and ice will not form upon it
readily; that dirt will not accumulate
upon 1t as easily as upon stone, and
that it will not retain microbes; also,
that it is more durable than stone, and
just as cheap. The new product is OBJ
tained from broken glass, heated to q
temperature of 1880 degrees, and COM
pressed in matrices by hydraulic force.
The firm manufacturing this material
proposes to have large house con-
structed entirely of glass as one of the
features of the coming Paris exposition.

Few things are more essential upo,

The celerz webrorm.

Prof. w. G. johnson, Maryland state
entomologist, reports a new insect pest
in the gardens of that state. He calls
it the celery webworm, as it spins
delicate web in and about the plants
and upon the ground. This web pro-
tects it while feeding. When it attacks
the celery the plants look as If blighted,
the leaves whiting and turning brown,
but in such cases the worm or its web
will be found. Thus far 1t has worked
mostly upon the self-blanching varie-
ties, but has been seen upon others.
This may prove only local attack, and
it may not be seen again for several
years, II at all, but celery growers will
do well to keep on their guard against
1t, even If hand picking is necessary to
exterminate 1t when it tappears.-Amer.

DAY OF HOSPITALITY.
Old F~ashion-Elks' Reception
This Evening.

Yesterday was given up TO the secular
of New Years day. 1t was a
day of hospitality and many private fam
lilies and clubs kept open house. Business
was partially suspended.
Open house was observed yesterday at
the Kansas City Club. Edward lola. the
steward. prepared a feast for the present
and q memory for the hereafter. The Sec
ond floor was arranged into lunch and
smoking rooms and was thronged all day
with the members and their friends. The
lunch tables were arranged in the west
room and the service was under the di-
rection of Robert NJ. Bort, whose atten-
ton to the guests was marked with the
knowledge that comes from large expert
ence and acquaintance with the tastes of
the club members
The table decorations were unique and
up-to-date and Were made by the chef,
August Capere. under the direction Of the
steward. The central figure was n repre-
sentation of Moro castle and the wreck
of the Maine. Back of the castle Is Il
huge pile of rocks surmounted by an
American eagle with a Spanish flag in it,
claws. In the %crevices of the rocks are
little blu flags, each bearing the name
of one of the battles of the Spanish war.
When the chef asked Mr.. lola the desig-
nation of the destruction of Cervera'S
fleet. he replied. .'Cervera to HI" and
the event is so chronicled on one of the
little blue flags. The whole is a work of
art and is composed entirely of mutton

Matthews and Zeigler Put Up n Very
Fast Twenty Round
Contest.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1.-The Greenwood
Athletic Club. of Brooklyn, held a boxing
show. which began at 3 o'clock this after
noon. and the house was uncomfortably
crowded.
The star event was a twenty-round bout
at catch weights between Owen Zeigler
and Matty Matthews. both weller weights
with good records.
They fought the twenty rounds hard
and fast. each displaying Il great deal OF
science and Judgment. From the opening
round neither let his opponent have an
idle moment and before five rounds had
been fought. each mans face was well
marked up.
For fifteen rounds Matthews had a slight
lead, and. although Zeigler did most of
the leading. Matthews counters on the
wind were effective. Zeigler got home some
heavy jolts on the local mans face and
swung both hands to the head. stopping
Matthews. Matthews. however, always had
q left uppercut or u swing ready when
Zeigler came within reach and the latter
must have been in grand shape to with
stand such hard punishment on the stom-
ach. Toward the close of the fight Zeigler
was the stronger. but once. in the seven
tenth round. Matthews caught him with
a left hook on the jaw which forced the
Philadelphia to his knees. Zeigler was
very strong in the last round. but Sam
| Austin. the referee. could not decide that
either man was a winner. and declared the
bout a draw. The decision was a popular
one.
