President James y. Chambers last night
met a leading representative of the finan-
cial interests of Pittsburg presumably in
relation TO the developments of this ma
chine. A leading official of the company,
who would not consent to be quoted, said
last night that the American company will
control absolutely the patented process.
This will mean that outsiders will only
profit to the extent of the cut that is eX-
pected 20 be brought about in the existing
high wages of all the skilled workers of the
window glass trade. The American COM
pany will get it's share in the profits
through owning the exclusive rights in the

company.
were granted at Washington, d. c.. which
cover In part the feature OF the ma
chine. The general idea of the machine
equipped plant soon TO be started is the
substitution of compressed air with d
blowing pipe similar to that used by the
worker
The patents secured are far apparatus
and methods for drawing glass into win
dow cylinders. They provide for a tank
furnace having a force-hearth extension.
In three of the patents vertically NOV
ing frame is placed over this extension on
which the blowing pipe or drawing tool
Is placed, compressed air being admitted
to the pipe and regulated automa tically- a

ports a shield which is water cooled and
protects the cylinder near the drawing
Point from the heat. When drawn TO the re-
quired length the cylinder is detached from
the mass of glass by heat currents. swung
to one side and placed on the horse and
detached from the drawing tool.
One of the great features is that the ex-
panding force. air gas. is admitted into
the cylinder from the bottom passing out
through the drawing tool at the top by a
system of regulating valves. This air or
gas comes through a pipe leading upward
through the mass of glass in the furnace.
An innovation is a movable shallow pot
capable of being submerged in the bath of
glass and then being raised above the sur
face From the glass contained in this
raised pot the cylinder is drawn.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, June 15.-The death to-
day Of the four-year-old- son of Tronim
Pit, Hungarian laborer employed in a
Muncie iron mill. brought to light a case
of barbaric ignorance.
Saturday morning, while playing about a
tub of boiling water, the child fell in and
its entire body terribly scalded. In
the Hungarion colony is an aged seer, who
ordered that the child should be buried in
the ground that the fire might be charmed
from its body. When a physician arrived
he found only the babes nose and mouth.
The rest of the body was covered by a
foot of dirt. The child died Sunday morn
ing and the Hungarians blame the seer for
its death They say he is a believer in a
peculiar faith, which in their native land
corresponds somewhat to the Christian
Scientist faith in America.
