GLASS is USED.
Novel Departure in Construction of
Homes at Des Moines.

DIES MONIES, Nov. 1S.-The use of
glass in the construction of houses
here is creating some attention in
other cities. Frank c. Perkins, in his
article Modern American Glass
Houses" in the December Technical
World Magazine, makes the following
statement in regard to the structural
characteristics of these odd edifices:
"a glass wall is of very light weight
compared with one of masonry Fire
damage would be local and easily re-
paired, experience showing that the
wire glass prevents the spread of fire,
though the glass itself is shattered
With this construction, however, re-
placing material is easier than would
be the reglaZing of a window of the
same fGidy3. The expense of a glass
wall IL of than that of a brick wall
and lacihlssill the disadvantages of the
latter, being much lighter in weight,
allowing a soft light to penetrate
through, and having a surface which
is self-cleaning in wet weather, and
which, in the case of tall buildings in
cities, reflects light to the lower por-
tons at the sidewalk"

Shaw Alone.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IS
Politicians in this city are calling at
tention to the fact that Secretary
Shaw is the only member of the pres
ident's cabinet who took the off-slde
in the recent campaign. Secretary
Ronaparte fought a finish fight with
his old enemy, Senator German, IN
MARYLAND. Secretary Taft did some
valiant work for reform in Ohio, and
Secretary Root let his voice be heard
in favor of turning the rascals out
in New York and Philadelphia. Sec
rotary Shaw, however, went up ana
down through Ohia and Virginia
preaching party regularity and advo-
eating standing by Boss Cox and Boss

There is still great amount Of
sneculation as to just who Is behind
the North Coast road. Tacoma news
papers are claiming that from In
formation received on good authority
that the North Coast is only one or
more of the right away agents OF
the Hartman system. Local rail-
way men, however, are of the opin-
ion that the North Coast is not
hacked by Hartman, but that 1T is
nrobably the agent for some other
transcontinental line that is seeking
an outlet to the Pacific coast.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IS
P. Shonts, chairman of the isthmian

the field of debate. There is an IN
dustrious and voluble band of hired
Ananiases moving to and fro in the
land whose mission is to deny this.
Burden of Song.
"The burden of their song is: Ihe
canal will never be built at Panama,
and everybody connected with the en-
terprise. including the president, and
commissioners, and engineers. is con-
WINGED of it. You can hear the mem
bers of this band chanting their song,
singly and in chorus, wherever men
congregate, and wherever a Few re-
porters are gathered together. They
are rehearsing for their grand burst
of noise when congress shall have as
sembled. When they are not rehears-
ing, they are putting the words of their
song into bogus interviews and other
written forms of newspaper publica-
ton. which they are sending forth by
thousands from their bureaus Of pub
licity in this and other cities.
CAS- one contemplates the output OF
this singular industry, this factory OF
fiction, he is moved to say of its
guiding spirit as Shakespeare says or
Captain Dumain: He will lie with
such volubility sir, that you would
think truth were a fool
Back of the "Industry.'
"Who is capitalizing this industry?
What is the bountiful source of this
spouting spring of mendacity? Is 1t
to be found among the friends of an
;stnmian canal? are these supplying
funds for the sustenance of such
campaign of INSTRUMENTATION? What
interests. except those foolishly dread
ing the competition of an isthmlan
canal. would put up money to delay
and possibly defeat its construction?
