MACHINE TO BLOW GLASS.
One of the Most Marve1ous Contriv-
snces in the World of Industry.

One of the Most MarveIou, Contriy-
ances in the World of Industry.
Glass has at last been successfully
blown by machinery and, as has gen.
orally been the case when mechanical
means supersede hand methods, all
feats OF hand-blowing have been out
done.
The secret of the remarkable inven-
ton is still hidden, but specimens of
tie work done have been shown. The
cylinders are of immense size. the larg-
est being thirty Inches in diameter and
nineteen feet long.
The new machine is the invention OF
John A. Lubbers, a glassblower of AL
legheny. Pa 1t has been built at the
Alexandria, Ind, branch of the Ameri-
can Window Glass Company's plant.
The process of blowing window glass
Is simple in theory, but difficult in
practice. On the n of n long tube
a mass of molten glass is collected.
This is then heated in a furnace and
gradually distended by blowing into a
large TUX with straight sides.
To accomplish this without the pecu-
liar twisting and manipulation employ
ed by the human glassblower has puz-
6iSd many CiCNcI luNSulOTS. ana the
Luhbers machine was made successful
only after a great many experiments.
Lubbers has invented several labor
saving devices and this latest triumph
is likely to make him many times a
millionaire when it Is generally In
stalled.
Skilled mechanics from the Westing-
house factories In Pittsburg have beer
working behind barred gates and high
walls for months in the erection and
installation of the machines, which no
man other than old and skilled en-
ployes Of the company was allowed to
see.
Patents have not yet been granted
on certain parts of the machines and
therefore the secrecy.
So confident Is the of the
merits of the machine that it is pre-
pairing to spend thousands of dollars
In its installa ton In all of the forty
n plants controlled by 1t in various
parts of h country.
1t Is expected that the device will
do away with hand blowers altogether
So confident are the men thai this will
be the case that many are getting out
of the business. The better class OF
blowers earn from $3.50 to 5000 q
month.-New York World

date back to 400, the earliest being
1854. The oldest family in the British
Isles Is the Mar family in Scotland,
1O93. The Campbel,s, of Argyle, be-

1889, n Bismarck from 1870. The
G~rosvenor family. the Duke of West
minister, 1865; the Austrian house of
Hapsburg goes back to 952, and the
house of Bourbon to S64. The descend
ants of Mohammed, born $40, are all

lively in a book in Mecca by a chief
OF the family. Little or no doubt ex-

long line Of Mohammed's descendants.

pedegrees the Mikado of Japan has a
unique record. His place has been
filled by members OF his family for
mor than $500 years. The present
Mikado is the 1920 in the line. The
