"Glass Disease" of Windows.

A peculiar glass disease has broken out
among the windows at York Cathedral.
Some of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth
Century glass in the edifice has been re-
moved In order to arrest the disease"
The outbreak IS ascribed to a fungus. The
glass appears to be perforated to such an
extent that portions of the glass yield on
the slightest touch.
Moreover. the transparency of the glass
has. to great extent, disappeaTed-in
short. the glass here and there exhibits no
longer the properties OF glass. 1t is evident
that some kind of chemical action has bean
established due. perhaps. to the life and
habits of a specific fungus.

hardest cement with success. The gradual
but sure crumbling of the cement used in
water reservoirs has been traced to the op-
GRAFTON OF countless tiny organisms. The
action was at first regarded as being due TO
the solvent property of carbon!c acid and
other substances commonly present in wa
ter.
Under the action of the bacteria the
ment slowly resolved into soft mud.
The action ceases in the absence OF nitri-
fable material and the view is that nitrous
acid Is produced which acts upon the ce-
ment lining Of the water reservoir. Clearly
the destructive potentialities of low forms
of life great. both for good and for
evil.-London Lancet.

MONTHLY REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL.
Tne Long Looked For Debate Soon to
TranSpire-A Week Set Apart for
Visitors.

The much mooted question as to
whether the Indian has been worse
treated than the negro is soon to receive
its final solution at the hands Of the
Sixth and Seventh Grades. The grades
have each discussed it and one has de-
cided in favor of the Indian and the
other in favor of the African. A formal
challenge has now been issued, and
