HOUSES BUILT OF GLASS.
A Western Savings Bank, Built of the
Substance, Proves Its Usefulness.


From the Technical World.
The Des Moines Savings Bank las well as
the Methodist Church In that beautiful city
Of Iowa, arc to be built with glass walls,
and a twenty six-story office building OF
glass has also been proposed. In structures
built of this material the ventilatins, as
we'll as the lighting. heating and cleanliness
excel, 1t Is claimed, anything or TINS char
acter ever before attempted.
These buildings were designed by c. f.
Eastman, a weil-known architect Of Des
Moines Iowa, whose idea of glass-waH con-
struction includes the use of milkwhite,
obalescent wire glass, one-quarter men
thick, securely fixed in two steel vertical
divisions, which are parallel ana iaceo 70
gether for the purpose or stiHehihg. lhese
divisions are supported at the floors by
brackets riveted to the steel channels of the
floor construction. The walls thus consist
of two glazed screens separated by 1901
of dead air space, which anords insula uon
against heat cold or sound to as great an
extent as would a solid brick wall or the
same thickness. The double vertical divls-
ions are spaced about four feet apart. The
two glass screens are ira nslucent to any d@-
gree desired, SO that in cases where win
dows are not necessary for viewing the
landscap De they may be dispensed with alto
setber provided the building would war
rant the installation of mechanical yentiia-
ton and heating The exterior effect Is
that of q marble wall. with or without WIN
dows. If windows are desired 1t Is not nee
essary to have the regulation two-sash type
but as the pockets are already provided
single-sash metal windows can be used
lifting up into metal guide into the space
OF the wall. Onyx and many other KINDS OF
stone can be initiated with the glass.
The construction provides approximately
an inch for movement at the edges or the
glass sheets, which are about four feet by
ten feet in size. This will cause any uneven
settlement Of the building to be adjusted by
itself In the framework and glass without
becoming evident to the eye.
A glass wall is of very light weight COM
pared with one Of masonry. Fire damage
would be local and easily repaired, expe-
rience showing that the wire glass prevents
the spread of fire, though the glass Itself is
shattered With this construction, however,
replacing material Is easier than would De
the regla zing OF a window of the same size.
The expense of a glass wall Is some less
than that of brick wall. and lacks all the
disadvantages Of the latter. being much
lighter in weight, allowing soft iight to
penetrate through, and having surface
which Is seR-cleaning in wet weather, and
which in the case of tall buildings In cities
reflects light to the lower portions at the
sidewalk.
The fact that no windows are necessarily
required is one of the chief advantag es
claimed for this method of construction
since the entrance of dust smoke, insects
etc. through such openings is rendered
impossible When an outlook IS desired,
however, plate-glass windows can be in
serted.

Directions as to kissing ones best
girl according to Frank Daniels, who
appears at the Hyperion tonight in
1.-THE Office Boy" was as follows {:
Select a quiet corner in costly
furnished room, turn out the gas and
then ask your best girl to sit in the
arm chair and look at some photo
graphs. AS she leans over the pho
tograph album in the dark, seize her
firmly but gently obtu the waist, turn
her blushing face slightly in your di-
rection, so that it presents a broadside
view, and then implant ferver1t kiss
upon her .damask cheek. She will prob
ably attempt to call for papa, but you
can thwart her by second kiss
straight upon the lips. After the third
kiss upon the lips she will not call for
papa but will silently submit to a
fourth and fifth kissif she likes you.
If she doesn't like you she will never
sit in the chair with you in the first
place, SO that either way you win.
