FACTS ABOUT GLASS.

Attention was recently called to the
proposed use Of glass brick in building.
The most ancient glass has necessari-
ly the same component parts as that
Of to-day and the processes used seem
to have been similar in all times.
From England comes the suggestion
that glass would be better and more
lasting material than stone for making
monuments which are exposed to the
wearing action of the weather.
1t is now said that the government of
Switzerland has approved the use of
glass for making weights to be en-
ployed with balance scales. A pecul-
iarly tough kind of glass is to be Sc
lected for that purpose.
A change from old methods is that
of fashioning glass by machine pressure
instead of molding by blowing. In the
pressed glass the articles are either
made by hand or machine pressure, and
this innovation has done much toward
making glass articles much cheaper
than formerly.
No industry except that Of cloth
manufacture has contributed SO much
to the comfort and advancement OF
man as that of glassmaking. which is
one of the oldest of technical industries
It's earliest home was Egypt. The Brit
| ish museum has a lions head of glass
bearing hieroglyphics fixing the date
at 2,4OO years before Christ.

1he Pekin correspondent of the Boston

that paper over his own signature some
statements that must cause hesitation In
the minds of even the most extreme ad-
vocates OF the theory that one civilization
may by force of arms bring about the
Improvement OF people living under a
different civilization Speaking of the
country about Pekin and. Tientsin, and
the conduct OF the troops he says:
The regions about both cities on their
arrival were pacific. Bands supposed to
be hostile had been destroyed or dispersed
by other troops, the only notable round
np icing by the 9th American cavalry
near Tientsin, and, under promise of
protection, the non -combatRnts who had
led from the path Of the expedition were
recovering from their terror and moving
back TO the settlements.
Finding no foe In sight or reach when
they arrived, and seeing the harmless
crowds looking up their homes again, the
Germans became eager for combat. and
proposed to the other allies. that ali con-
tribute TO force which should GO hunt
In for fresh conquests The proposition
was discouraged as unwise, useless and
uemoralizing alike 60 troops ami inhabi-

THE APPoRTroNMENT.

There seems to be a Inference OF opin-
ion as to whether or not Maine Is to lose
a Congressman by the next apportion-
ment. The kennebec journal, probably
voicing the opinion OF Congressman Bur
leigh stated the other day that there
would probably be no reduction In the
present number. But the figures which
the Director of the Census has submitted
to the President seem to indicate strong
probability that Maine and Virginia In
the East and Kansas and Nebraska In the
West win each lose member. Neither
the Director Of the Census nor the Presi-
dent settles this question, however. The
apportionment will be determined by a
law passed by Congress this winter. Mr..
Burleigh Is q member of the Census COM
mittee OF the House, and that committee
will frame the apportionment bill. There
fore Mr.. Burleigh's opinion Is entitled to
weight, even though 1t seems to run
counter to the conditions apparently gov
erning the situation. It Is probable that
the apportionment bill will be passed by
Congress early IN the present session.
Ten years ago, when the last apportion-
ment was made in accordance with the
census of 1890, the apportionment act be-
came q law on February Z. 1891. This
act simply fixed the number of Congress
men to be allotted to each state, and left
30 the state legislatures the division OF
their respective states into districts. The
Maine legislature was In session when
the act of Congress was passed, and pro-
cseded at once to pass law establishing
the districts. This year the Congress
will probably pass the superintendent act
as early as February Z. Certainly it can
not be delayed beyond March 4, tor the
Congress expires on that day. The Maine
legislature may therefore reasonably ex-
poet to settle the question this winter. SO
that the election of 1903 may take place
In the newly constituted districts.
1t is too early to discuss what might be
the system of Encouragement In case the
state should lose q membar. 1t has been
suggested that the first district would be
increased by additions from the counties
of Oxford, Franklin, Androscoggiu.
Sagadahoo, Knox -or Lincoln; and that
Hancock county would probably be one
OF the counties likely to go to the eastern
district. It Is probable that county
lines will be observed in the future as In
the past; but beyond that little can be
predicted at present. The population OF
the State, as reported by telegraph from
Washington, is 694, 5ll. Thus. with three
Congressman there should be as nearly
as possible 23l, 500 people to district.
But the natural geographical division
of the counties. as suggested to the eye
by an inspection of the map.- does not
give very fair division of population.
Thus, the naturrl division would seen
to be:
KFtxo, ntokrick p0nulakfon
The Portland daily press., 1900-11-15

This geographical division makes the
first district about so.000 TOO large; but
this inequality might be aaius1sd IN
fairly satisfactory mannsr b. exchanging
Androsoogzfn for sagadahoc or FRANK
In; or Do giving up oxford entirely 20
ms second district.
These are the considerations suggested
By population ana geography. There are
svidsnsly very potsnt polisioai oonsidsra-
tons which may dictate very diffsrent
arrangements when the legislature shall
assemble; but at prssent the action OF
Congress Ia too far In she future 20 make
II worth while TO explore those uepths.

Rev. Francis e. Clark, of the Chris
tian Endeavor Society, Is authority for
the statement that President Schurman,
OF the Philippine commission. only differs
with Senator Hoar in the latter's belief
that the Filipinos are at present ready
for self government. President Schur-
man thinks that In a single generation
they may be able to take their place
among the independent nations of the
world, and abhors the commercial argu-
ment that material gain may come TO
us from ruling far off dependencies, II
DIR. Clark understands President Sohur-
man rightly, the latter is hostile to the
colonial policy that has been taking shape
in the last two years, and is likely to at :
tain full and powerful stature in the next
two years.

While the negro may not be advancing
very fast in the direction he has expected
and wanted to go, he is nevertheless
making progress In direction quite as
advantageous for himself and the coun-
try. South Carolina, supposed to be the
most reaotionary OF all the Southern
states on the negro question, is to have
an Interstate and industrial exposition,
and one OF its features is to be a negro
department under charge OF Booker Il.
Washington. While the negro has been
socially and politically as he hoped to, he
has been quietly advancing as a laDorer
and producer. and has been laying the
only foundation from which social and
political results may ever be obtained.
