ABOUT GLASS BATHTUBS.
Soon to Replace Those of Enamel and
Metal.
From the Philadelphla Telegraph.

FROM the PnlIadelph1a Telegraph
Bathtubs of glass may be expected to re-
place enamel and metal ones soon. They
are being made in Germany now and are
said to have many advantages over metal
and enamel. the principal one being that
they are much cheaper. Besides bathtubs.
tanks and watts such as are used by brewers
dtstillers and sugar refiners are being made
of glass, and the manufacturer is confident
that he can replace those for which clay,
wood, cement and metal are now commonly
used, with superior articles constructed at
a lower cost. Glass bathtubs are not fra
gile. Those being made now are five and
six inches long, about two feet wide, and
about two and one-half inches thick. They
are made in solid piece, and one can be
made complete in about five minutes.
This is owing to new process Of blow
ing glassware by means Of compressed air.
The process was invented in Pittsburg about
twenty years ago, but was limited to MAX
ing bottles and similar small-sized articles.
Paul Stevert of Dresden has improved it,
and under his process there need be no
limit, within reason, to the size Of the
article made. The method Is simplicity
itself. The molten glass is taken from the
furnace and placed in mold, which can
readily be swung to any desired position
Compressed air is thus admitted through a
flexible tube which connects with the bottom
of the mold. The air pressure is regulated
by valves. AS soon as the article is finished
it Is switched into an annealing chamber
where it is again heated and then allowed
to cool. This toughens 1t, and after the pro-
cess il is ready for use.
Plates of large size are being made of glass
by an adaptation Of the same process In
this case an ornamental design is first made
| on a sheet of peculiar composition, which
remains moist for some time. Colored glass
| is spread over this to work out the design.
| Then the sheet is placed on the glass plate
| and the whole is heated in the oven. The
| heat consumes the sheet on which the de-
! sign was made. leaving only the layer of
| colored glass, welded into the plate. Some
| remarkable and very picturesque effects
are made in this way.

Horticultural Architecture.

From the New York Tribune
The art of horticulture is at least as old
as the Garden of Eden. The modern green
house has arrived within the last half CEN
fury. Built scientific principles, ribbed
with iron and equipped with hot water or
steam. 1t has been brought to its present
perfection in America largely through the
work Of one amateur, who drifted into his
like work forty-nine years ago. Royal
nurseries and hot houses have been at
taehed to castles and palaces for many
years, but the diffusion Of American wealth
our love OF flowers, our universal American
habit Of endowing the family life with
every possible luxury, has supplied the i'm
petus for which the hereditary fortunes
of Europe did not suffice. Every year the
great foreign nurseries send their sales.
men to this country-these establishments
are so highly specialized that each grows
but single species OF plant-but their
men. who travel the length and breadth OF
the United States. and who are both intel.
ligent and experienced. openly acknowledge
that there is nothing in Europe to COM
pare with our greenhouses.

REVOLUTION IN WARFARE.
Officer Says He Can Suppress Flash
and Sound in Firing.

A special to the New York Tribune from
Paris yesterday says: Colonel Humbert a
French artillery officer whose technical
knowledge and experience carry great
weight, has invented an apparatus which,
applied to a rife or to a rapid firing cam
non completely suppresses the fash, sound
and smoke. even of black gunpowder. Col
onel Humbert says:
81 have succeeded in converting the ex-
plosive powder which has been known for
centuries into a motor power giving impulse
to projectiles from rifles and cannons with
out report, without smoke without flash,
without recoil and without any diminution
of force or effect"
The military authorities here attach SUI
preme Importance to this discovery, which
they consider will bring about a complete
revolution in the methods of warfare OF the
twentieth century.

VANITY OF MAN.
Panama Hats Show His Pride and
Extravaganza.
From the New York Sun.

from the New YORK sun.
We love to hear a man inveighing against
the extravaganza of American women and
putting forty-cent cigar between his puffs
Of eloquence and sarcasm. We love to
hear a man denouncing hotly the vanity of
women, and then to watch him peeping
rurtively into every mirror along Broadway
and to know that he is secretly admiring
his own COMPOUNDED ugly mug. We love
TO hear man growing and sputtering
about the passion of women for finery and
feathers and to chuckle at him as he quar-
rels with his tailor or smirks as he regards
his cravat. We love to hear man holding
forth superiority upon women'S love of
Jewels and then to behold him flashing the
sparklers'' in his scarfpin or his ring into
our dazzled eyes. We love and venerate
man for his modesty, simplicity freedom
from vanity, affectatiOn and conceit, aver
sion to ornament, disbelief in his own fasci-
nation. unwillingness to spend money upon
himself, and SO on In an unending process
sion Of virtues.
AS some women have been ignorant or
prejudiced enough to jeer at men In general
and their talk about extravaganza in par
ticuIar. and to refer to the present popular
ity OF Panama hats for men as an illus
tratiOn Of masculine vanity and extrava-
gance. the case is here explained Irrever-
mt womankind says: Here, you men are
putting more money into hats than we
ever think of doing. Just think of spending
$50. 500 500 hat! Why, it's ridicu-
lous- And see your silly vanity. We hear
YOU talking about blocked and loosely
blocked and the real article We see you
gazing at your hats tenderly, lifting them
up. when you are good enough to bow to u.s.
much more carefully than you could lift
your own baby. and dripping with self
satisfaction as you strut along under your
monuments of frightful extravaganza.
Never talk TO me any more about our hats
and the bills for them, if you please. Van

"FORCE."
A Good Illustration of the Power of
Advertising.

Advertising.
The readers of The Star have noticed and
been largely interested in and influenced by
the striking advertisements of Force"

be difficult to find better Illustration of
the value Of judicious advertising than is
furnished by the letter referred to, as fol-

1t is interesting to see hoso the tricks and
evssious OF ultra protectionists are comir g
back upon their promoters and are iriuring
the prospects Of the Nation. The Wash
irgton despstckts of the past week des
oribe the cross purposes at which ad-

resulted from accepting reciprocity in the
national platform and dscsrd'ng it when
brought fOrward for specific application. Ii
soas not enough for extremiss that Pre-
sident Mckinley should decide after an
experience that made him tie chief auth,r

changing circumstances. The prac ical
denial of that by men who ouG,cardly
accepted it has wrought injury in more than
one way. 1t explains why the House
