MeALLEABLE GLASS.

81 claim to have discovered the secret OF making
maleabIe glass; the long lost art OF the ancents and
though have not succeeded in obtaining glass that
lis absolutely malleable that is hammerabe and un-
!breakabe; | am now manufacturing seml-malleaDles
ware, and soon will be able to put on the market a
kind of glass that will be as maeabe as any OF the
metals" was the statement made by LOUIS kauf1eid,
owner of glass factory in Matthews, says Munce,
Ind, special
Kauffed is the head of lamp chimney factory that
now employs about 10 men, and IS prospering IN the
manufacture of ordinary glass chlnneys OF the semi,
maeable glass; but says he is not yet ready TO put
them on the market in any considerable quantlty.
In the presence of correspondent and workman,
Mr. Kaufeld took glass chimney of ordinary appear
ance put as much water as it would hold when II was
placed horizontally, and, placing 1t over Tfe pro
ceeded to boil the water without cracking the Chimney
Next this same chimney was heated until II was
almost at the melting point and plunged into cold water
The chimney went through the ordeal without injury.
Kaufeld followed this experiment by taking up the
now cooled chimney and using it as hammer, driving
goodszed nail into tough board with it. Again the
chimney came forth unframed
eff piece of this chimney were broken out | could
take another piece of this kind of glass and weld to
the broken chimney, making, so to speak, glass
patch,' said Kauffed confidently.
"The usefulness of this glass is great Coffee pots
and tea kettles might be made of it of tin steel
and would no more crack under great heat than ar
ticeS manufactured from those metals. The housewife
in canning fruit might heat the fruit directly in the
glass jars before they are sealed.
While Kauffelds process is unknown to anybody ex-
cept himself he volunteered the information that the
lime and lead that are used in the manufacture of
ordinary glass, do not enter into the composition of
this. What the substitutes are he would notsay.
"The secret les,' he said, Sin the chemicals that
are used in making this glass and the proportions in
which these chemicals are put into it..
careful account of the cost of making this glass as
compared with the manufacture of other glass; as kept
by Mr. Kaueld, has led him to conclude that the new
process is cheaper than the old. The glass trade is
slow to believe Kauffelds claims.
Louis Kauffed is g years old, the 'seventh son of
La seventh son. When rhe first went
to Mathews two three years ago, he was the whole
Kauffeld glass factory. He put up little glass tank
in his back yard and started the "plant.' The ware
that he turned out he sold in local markets.
Finally the demand for his lamp chimneys became SO
great that he had to procure help Since then he has
added buildings to his plant and men to his working
farce until he is the head of large concern.
