FACTS ABOUT GLASS.

Attention was recently called to the
proposed use of glass brick in building.
The most ancient glass has necessari-
iy 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
Its earliest home was Egypt. The Brit
ish museum has lions head of glass
bearing h;eroglyphics fixing the date
at 2.4oo years before Christ.

Exportacion de cafe de Puerto Rico

De esta demonstration Sc deduce
que, por ahora, y mientras nuestros
prOductores de cafe no alcancen la
supremacia que les corresponds en-
el mercado americana, necesitan ia
cilidades comerciales para vender su
fruto a los pueblos meridionales de
Europa, que no solo consumer mu-
cho cafe, sino que 10 llevan las
zonas habitadas por esas razas orien
tales y sof1adoras, devotas del in
cienso y de la nina, y adoradoras de
esa deliciosa infusion que es a la vez
perfume grato, licor sabroso, y es-
timulante casi divine de la algeria Y
la espiritualidad.
De modo que para la salvaci6n
del cafe de Puerto Rico, es decir,
de su fruto principal, de la mas fe
cunda y segura fuente de riqueza
que tiene hoy este pals, Sc hace me-
cesario que los Estados Unidos cele-
bren tratados de comercio con Espa.
na, Francia, Alemania Italia, 6 re-
forme los que tenga va hechos, en-
m e saetdq acd 2rae6 DE- 96ssneg sa fsasaq9oaa as g.
tas naciones. Tambien Sc debe ase-
gurar en- Cuba una franquicia analo-
ga.
Y este, para que sea provecho
SO, debe hacerse sin dilaci6n.
Sc ha dicbo que la iniciaci6n de
estos trabajos corresponds a la Ca
mara de Comercio; pero como Sc
trata de un producto agrfcola, nece
sitar1a dicha Camara ell concurso de
la Association de Agricu1tores.
La Camara de Comercio de PtO
Rico ha pedido va al Congreso, por
conducto de sus comisionados en-
Washington, que Sc procuren esas
franquicias para nuestro cafe, y 81
los agricultores la autorizan insist
ra, pero una vez iniciadas y apoya.
das como deben serlo por la opinion
general, corresponds a las Camaras
