plates the reassembling of The Hague
conference for the consideration of
questions specifically mentioned by
the original conference, as demanding
further attention, such as the rights
and duties of reutrals; the inviolabil-
ity OF private property in naval war

practically endorsing the project Of

that the first Hague conference was

VENETIAN GLASS.
Marco Polo Gave the First Great Im-
petus to Its Manufacture.

Marco Polo Gave the First Great Inns
petus to Its Manufacture.
1t was Marco Polo who gave the first
great impetus to the glass industry at
Venice. The great traveller encouraged
his countrymen . manufacture and to
export large quantities of glass to the
orient to satisfy the growing demand
there. 1t is difficult to determine when
the first glass factories We're establish
ed in Venice, says the Chicago News.
Some historians have attempted to
prove that it was as early as the fifth
century. The most ancient existing
document relating to this industry is
an article in a treaty concluded in 1887
between Bohemond, prince of Antioch,
and Jacobo Contarini, doge of Venice.
This time stained parchment refers to
necessary ingredient for the production
of good CLASSIFY the Venetian mer-
chants in Syria. In 1889 the great
council of the republic prohibited the
establishment Of glass furnaces in the
city proper, as they were frequent
canses Of serious fires, and finally rele-
gated the glassblowers to the island OF
Murano 1922, where the industry has
hourished down to the present day.
Murano's glass manufacturers pos.
sessed many political and other privi
1eges. Their daughters could even mar
~ into the families of the proud Vene
tan patricians. In the seventeenth cen
| fury the glassblowers Of Venice vert
recognized as the best In Europe. This
fact caused the Duke Of Buckingham
to employ Venetian workmen in the
glass mandatory which he opened il
1910 for the purpose of making imita
tons of the fine. Venetian drinking
glasses.
Evelyn, the dtarist, writing in l641
says: II passed over to Murano, ia
nous for the best glasses Of the world
whe e, having viewed their furnaces,
made collection of divers curiosities
TITS the white flints which they hav,
from Pavia, which they pound and sif
exceedingly small and mix with ashe

San Francisco, Oct. 31.-The Chron-
icle says: Naval officers have sue
ceeded for many months in keeping
secret a peculiar structural feature Of
the new battleship Ohio, which, in
the opinions of themselves, as we'll as
others. is nothing else than glazing
defect of a nature so serious that, as
one officer expressed, 1t amounts to an
invitation to an enemy to do the YES
sci enormous damage In action. The
defect consists of emitting to put

superstructure, within which are
mounted ten six-inch rapid fire guns
This omission, it is held, makes the
