GLASS PAVEMENT.
An Interesting erpsrm,ni Which fas Frovsd VERY
Successful al Paris

a glass pavement has been laid for a
number OF months in the Rue de la
Republque, Paris. 1t has been in use
through all the winter. and is at pres
ent in an admirable state of preserva-
ton. The raw material of this glass
pavement or ceramic stone," the trade
name. consists OF broken bottles, tons
OF which are manufactured into blocks
which in turn are closely fitted together
giving the pavement the appearance Of
a huge chessboard. says the Criterion.
Some OF the advantages claimed for
this pavement are that il is more dur
able than stone, that water cannot leak
through, that microbes are not retain
ed. that it is bad conductor of cold
and that ice Will not form -eE IL readily;
added to these is the fact that IL is no
more expensive than other forms of
paving. The glass house or luminous
palace which is one of the attractions
at the coming exposition in Paris is to
be made of this devitrifed glass, and
IL is said that builders are watching the
process with interest, believing i'm it's
wide and ultimate use for dwelling
houses. In a late Revue des Deux
Mondes" the writer says: "As to the
resistance of such a structure, 1t would
certainly be equal TO that of the most
solid homes of the city Ii is
lighter and less expensive than bricks"

And a these tIJublous times when
senator Mark Hanna is being held up
by the Democratic press asa wicked
head of a souIless tAl1sy cSrporation
among many other cJfpora ions all
without souls. OF which he is either a
wicked head or an equally wicked some
other part II is instructive to note that
the trolley company that Is having all
the trouble out in Cleveland is not
senator Hanna's company. The strike
Is on what Is known as the big Con-
solidated" and the Hanna corporation
is the Little Consolidated. All is
peace and contentment in the midst OF
and efforts Of the strikers OF the Big
Consolidated TO get up a sympathetic
strike on the Little Consolidated have
resulted only I'm dismal failure. Indeed
the employees OF the latter corporation
seem to be in a disgracefully satisfied
frame OF mind considering what ex-
traordlnary attempts have been made
from time TO time TO demonstrate to a
connding public that Mark Hanna is a
hard taskmaster. The employees on his
trolley line positively cannot be coaXed
or bullied into striking, although in
ducements now offered In Cleveland are
undoubtedly very tempting. The Demo-
cratic press omits mention of this cir
cumstance. naturally. 1t can't find any
thing good In Mark Hanna even though
his employees can. and little fact like
that now being illustrated in Cleveland
will not be permitted 20 interfere with
the abuse that the Democratic press
particularly enjoys flinging at the
Junior Senator from Ohio as an "op-
pressor of labor"

The severity OF the Bernardines or

on the borders of Spain. and under the
shadow of the Pyrenees. II was round

prayer, Out i'm the fields it is marvel
Gus 10 see how well the oxen know
these chimes. Directly they hear them
they stop instinctively starting on
their way again the instant the sisters
f-se from their knees. The Bernard-
mes have no fear of death. Indeed, on
the contrary, they long for II. Wheh

He KNEW lAFITTE THE PIRATE.
Dsalh Of q Texas Veteran Who Ran Enands for
The Buccanser.


John Iaams, an old settler who has
was probably the last person living
who he'd known the celebrated pirate,
Lafitte Iaams often described Lafitte.
whom he had seen frequently at Bar
atava and afterward at Galveston.
The old Texan was a boy then, but
peculiarities of the buccaneer remained
fixed firmly in his memory. Iaams
said that Lafitte was in the habit of
going up the bayous running into Ber-
wick's bay with his boats and men,
on to New Orleans. He had two boats
and a number OF men. He was Of vig-
orous build, and very good natured,
selling the women at their own figures
pretty things he had captured. He was
very popular with the people, and once
gave young Iaams 81 for diving into
the bayou and bringing up a pistol he
had dropped into the water while
standing on one of his boats. He would
laugh and joke with his men. but his
word was law TO them, They would
have resented being termed pirates,
called themselves privateers, and none
of the people cared to excite their re-
sentiment. Iaams came to Galveston
in 1922 before Texas dreamed of inde-
pendence, before Sam Houston had set
foot on the soil, and before Travis,
Crockett. Bowie or Fannin had thought
OF the cause for which they afterward
gave their lives. He was a soldier in
the Mexican war.
