THE TORRENS LAW.

New system of Recording Land Titie.
Saves ffinv and Money.

The Cook county recorders Office
has been open some three months for
the registration OF land titles under the
Iorrcns law. says the Chicago Record.
\ considerable number OF titles have
been Registered during that time. and
now transfers are beginning to be
made under the act. II is here that tho
great advantages OF the system be-
comes apparent. The title to n piece
OF land once registered can he trans

money can be fully appreciated by
those who are familiar with the time
consumed and the cost entnilcd IN
making real estate trnnsfer under
old methods.
Another advantage OF the new sys-
TEN IL that II makes land easily avail
able as an asset ON which loans can he
quickly secured. Under the old regime
II was necessary to make only long
term loans on lnnd, because OF the com
piicntions and expenses Incident To the
execution OF such n loan. Under the
Torrcns system, however, there Is no
reason why sixty or ninety siny lonns
shouid not be made on real estate u.

tihcatc OF title under the Torrens sys.
tenn Is almost ms easily handled as

was made on certificate OF title. The

minutes.

In addition to the destruction
wrought by pugnaclous sparrows at
home. English swallows and martins
suffer severely during their mlgrations
from bird-hunters in Italy and France.
Millions are thus slaughtered every
year, and the Society for the Protection
Of Birds has been asked to protest to
the governments OF France and Italy
on the ground that the killing OF the
English birds while crossing their ter
ritories is leading to a serious increase
OF insect pests in England. England
has never been backward in protect
ing her citizens abroad. and perhaps
her aegis will be found to cover those
that wear feathers as well as those

SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS.
a Transparent Shell Is Used In the Phil
ippincs.


In Manila, where there is an inter-
esting field open to the naturalist, the
natives have queer substitute for
glass. 1t is a bivalve shell Of about
nine inches of surface. so transpar-
ent that print can be seen through 1t,
and admitting mellow light In a
room where II is used as window
glass. The shell is an attractive OBJ
ject, perfectly straight. and in appear
ance resembles isinglass. One could
almost imagine that 1t was some skill
full invention OF the natives. could not
the growth rings be readily observed.
The outer side Of the shell is percepti-
bly, rough. while the interior Is per-
fectly glazed over. and in the light has
the luster found in many OF the thin
shelled oysterlike molluscs of the
tropics. The shell is the Placuna pla-
centia of science, and is well known
in China, the common name being the
Chinese window oyster. 1t is en-
ployed there also for windows, and
used in lanterns. The Chinese grind
up the shell and make from 1t the sill
yer paint so common In their water
colors The bivalve Is very common
in the Philippines, and forms a very
good and cheap substitute for glass;
one that is extremely ingenious and
suggestive of the value OF shells.
