COMING AGE OF GLASS.
The Alluring Dream of a Celebrated
French Savant-Everybod Sure
to Live Some Day in Glass
House

From the London Express.
Jules HenrivauX, till lately the
director of the great glass manufactory
at st. Gobain predicts that the new
age vii be the age of glass. Mr.. Henri
vauX is an enthusiast on glass. He
believes it to be the material of the
future. He does not pretend that we can
look for glass cannons, or glass men
o'-war, or glass greyhounds of the
ocean, nor does he contemplate the
substitution of vitreOus machinery for
that which we now employ in our
various processes of manufacture, but
he does claim that the glass is the
best substance known To us for every
kind of structural purpose; and es-
pecially for dwelling houses. In short,
if the visions of NJ. HcnrivauX are re-
allied we shall all be living in glass
houses before long.
The point of the idea Is found in the
inexhaustible supply of the materials
from which glass is made, in its adapt =
ability to all shapes and forms, its
durability. and its cleanliness. With re-
gard to the second point it is obvious
that glass can be shaped, colored and
decorated to an extent of which no
upon this aspect of the idea that NJ.
HenrivauX lavishes his imagination.
There are six ways in which glass
can be manipulated. 1t can be cast
into window -ranes, paving stones pam
els, etc. 1t can be nodded into COrniCcs,
states, wall decorations and even stat
ucs. 1t can be blown into bottles,
tumblers. vases and all the utensils
ware" IT can be blown and ground
into crystals, lenses, prisms and other
object of art and utility. 1t can be
| drawn into tho finest threads and made
into pipes, baskets and dress materials.
1t can be turned into mosaics and en-
| amcls, and can be brought into the
| closest imitation of most of the
precious stones,
Imagine with NJ. HenriVauX, the con-
structon of glass house The founda-
| tiOns and the walls would be construct
ed of IA variety of glass, recently in
vented, called "stone glass" which
| has already successfully wthstood the
severest tests. When crushed IT gives
"A resistance three times as great as
! granite. When subjected to heat ~
| cold it is found 10 be less sensitive
! than steel When submitted to friction
| 1t shows less wear than porphyry
Shock, as of hammer blow, 1t re-
sists to a degree twenty-five times ai
severe as that which would fracture
marble. The test Of tension has prac
tically no effect on IL whatever.

named Joseph Higgins caused consid-
cradle excitement on Pittston avenue
last evening about 6 o'clock. The
fracas started about some cigarettes
which Higgins tried to get off the Ital-
ian without paying for them. His
scheme did not work as the italian
grabbed him and threw him on the
ground. An officer was called for and
peace was restored in short notice.

Monday morning Jennings has

Monday morning Jennings has
suffered the most disastrous fire
of its existence, three and one half
blocks Of the business center of
the town were burned which eau
sed the destruction Of over fifty OF
the business enterprises of the
town, and caused a damage esti-
mated at over two hundred thou,
sand dollars with possibly insu-
rance covering half of that amount.
Jennings is one Of the thriving
towns that had no water works, and
the scarcity of water in this dry
season, was responsible for the
rapid spreading of the fire. That
town has already adopted an ordi-
nance fixing fire limits, in which
only brick buildings will be per-
mitted to be built. The town is
also talking of water works. This
is about our way of going at it, af-
ter a fire in st. Martinville We hear
nothing but water works, for q few
days only, and the same is renew
ed at the next fire and so on. This
town is as exposed to the mercy
of the flames as any other town,
and what has happened, in desas-
trous fires, to Jeanerette, Frank
lin, Abbeville, Houma, Jennings
and many other towns in this state
may happen to Us at any time,
and at the last fire here, we had
a narrow escaped, as half of the
town was in the greatest danger.
Suppose our people, the council
or committee of citizens would
commence to investigate the mat
ter of water works now, get the
plans, specifications, cost ETC., and
submit it to q vote of the people at
the town election in May next; we
have ample time to gather all in
formations necessary for that time,
and we should do it.
