GLASS PIPES.

MANY cities in Europe are solving the
problem of the destruction Of iron gas
and water-pipes by electrolysis by substi-
tuting for them pipes made of glass As
glass is almost a perfect non-conductor
of electricity, there is, of course, no cleo
t.olysis. Further advantages are the
saving of electricity and the absence Of
danger of shock from wandering cur
rents"
We have seen this statement made In
several of our exchanges.
Whether glass pipes are satisfactory in
practical use, we do not know. We
doubt if they are yet; but la fine they
may be- In that event, the present diff
Guilty in dealing with electrolysls will be
met.
Electric street-car companies are as
much interested as municipalities and
gas manufacturing companies, In en-
couraging inventors TO put forth their
best efforts to make glass pipes that will
be equal TO the service expected Of them.
