GLASS HOUSES.

We have all heard of glass houses,
but no one has as yet seen dwellings
made entirely of the material. Now,
however an important evolution in ar
chitecture is at hand, for architects are
beginning to realize the enormous pos
sibilities of glass as a building mate
rial. Its decorative qualities have
long been recognized, and it has been
used instead of wood and iron in many
purposes of house decoration. New in
ventions have made the glass house a
possibility. The latest is a material
called "ceramocrystal," or glass stone.
Its resisting power is said to be far
greater than that of granite and it is
not so brittle as ordinary glass. At the
Paris exposition is to be exhibited a
building called THE Luminous Pal
ace" which will be raised in honor of
the electric light and the architect is
building 1t entirely of glass. The dec
orations will be exceedingly elaborate,
and the rule of using nothing but the
glass in its formation will be strictly
adhered to.

FIJAGRATION.
The barn and wagon house of Farmer
Daniel Haley, Of Wintercourt, on the
baltimore and Ohio railroad, was totally

the night. He carried a lighted lantern
with him and was accompanied by dog.
Entering the stable Mr. Haley set the
lantern upon the ground and started to
attend to his duties. Scarcely had he
been in the building when a rat darted
out Of an obscure corner and scurried
across the floor The dog at once made a
dart after the rodent and running
against lantern upset It. In an in
slant the oil caught fire and the flames
Immediately ignited the straw and in
flammable material in the barn.
In five minutes the structure was a
mass Of seething flames. Farmer Kane,
who lives in the adjoining farm, accom-
panied by his help. at once ran to the as
sistance Of his neighbor. The two horses
in the barn at the time were gotten out
with difficulty. All the carriages in the
wagon shed were removed to place OF
safety as were the farm implements
though a number of chickens perished
In the flames The barn and wagon
house were a total loss. Two sets Of har.
ness were also destroyed.
The hight from the burning buildings
was plainly seen in the sky by residents
OF this city and nearly everyone attribu.
ted the blaze to stroke Of lightning.
In anticipation OF the dwelling hous,
being destroyed all OF the householt
goods were moved out and the heav,
rain damaged them considerably.
