FINDS NEW USE FOR GLASS
Experiments of French Inventor Re.
suit in the Discovery Of
New Method.

A practical inventor and scientist,
M. Garchey, known all over France, has
made a very interesting experiment in
Lyons. He has discovered an entirely
new method, says a recent report, OF
melting all kinds of old glass and trans.
forming it into material as hard and
serviceable as Belgian blocks. In
1898 he obtained permission from the
municipal authorities Of Lyons to pave
a portion of one of their main streets
with this new material and thus prove
to the world the value Of his discov-
cry. The street selected was a princi-
pal thoroughfare, which was under con.
tinuous and heavy traffic, and yet the
glass is still as sound as when first
put down. lt
M. Garchey claims for "ceramo-crys-
tai" as he calls it, that it can be manu-.
featured at - much more reasonable
figure than any other reliable building
material NON on the market in Europe
or America, and that 1t is practically
indestructible. 1t is also highly attrao.
tive and artistic in appearance, and
M. Garchey fully expects to see it tax.

TREATMENT OF FILIPINOS.
One Of the Worst Defaults on Dutv of
Which Congress Has Been
Guilty.

The Washington Post improves the oc.
casion of the publication of the Filipino
census to speak as follows:
In most respects our treatment of
the Filipinos since we made the momen.
tous mistake of acquiring sovereignty
over them, has been marked by a gener.
osity akin to altruism. We took the
islands without the least expectation of
the tragic events that followed. Having
taken them, we were compelled to sup
press instruction. But as soon and as
last as any Filipino community consent
ed to be governed peaceably under our
flag, a beneficent government was es-
tablished. But we have not been kind
or generous to the Filipinos or lust to
ourselves in refusing to abolish or re-
duce the tariff tax on their exports of
sugar and tobacco to the United States.
The failure of the ways and means COM
mittee of the last house of representa-
tlVes to report a bill providing for such
a reduction until close to the end of the
session-too late for consideration-was
a deliberate, a carefully planned out
rage. Accompanying the bill when it
was, at last, reported was a report fully
demonstrating its justice and expedi"
ency and exposing the s%hallowness and
contemplate meanness of the opposi-
ton to it. But was the opposition of the
sugar and tobacco interests more con-
demnable or contemplate than the
keeping back of the bill and report long
enough to give victory to the and
tobacco Hobbies? Candor compels the
assertion that the treatment accorded
to the Filipinos in this matter of great
Importance to them. must stand in the
story OF the ffty-eighth congress as one
OF the worst of its many defaults on
duty"

ing of the canals for fertilizers is the
only way by which the Chinese have
kept their canals in reasonably good con.
dition for centuries. The fertilizer has
paid for itself both ways. Recently
there were complaints filed at Picking
that the ashes from the steam launches
plying or the canals were ~injuring the
muck for fertilizing purposes, and the
problem has been considered a serious
one by the Chinese government.
In addition to securing fertilizers from
the canals, and thus keeping the canals
in condition, the farmers help keep then
purified by gathering all floating weeds
grass and other vegetable debris that
they can find upon them. Boatmen will
secure great loads of water plants and
grass by skimming the surface of the
canal. The reeds growing along the
canal are used for weaving baskets of
several grades, and for fuel. In short,
no plant life about the. canal goes to
waste. ~ ..r|

DREDGING IN CHINA CANALS
Boatmen Gather Rich Fertilizing Ma
terial for the Neighbor-
ing Farms.

Along the canals in China at any time
may be found boatmen gathering muck
trom the bottom of the canal. This muck
Is taken in much the same manner that
oysters are taken by hand on the Attain
tic coast. In place of tongs are large
baglike devices on crossed bamboo
poles which take in a large quantity OF
the ooze at once. This is emptied into
the boat, and the process is repeated
until the boatman has a load, when he
will proceed to some n%eighboring farm
and empty the muck, either directly on
his felds-especially around the null
berry trees, which are raised for the silk.
worms-or in a pool, where it is taken
later to the fields. From this muck the
Chinese farmer will generally secure
enough shellfish to pay him for his work
and the fertilizer is clear gain. The fer
tilizer thus secured Is valuable. IT ID

7 would not be supposed that such
frailties or frivolities as romance or
fun could append to or hover about so
solemn { repository of erudition as the
Smithsonian institution.
But here's a story, all the same:
A few months ago one of the members
of the Smithsonian institutions scien-
tific corps went down to a little island
lying off the coast of Virginia TO gather
certain specimens of the fora and fauna
thereof. What the fora and fauna were
the scientist went after makes no diff
ference. To tell what they were would
be to give too good a Zine on" just who
this amiable scientist is, anyhow.
He is a young man of 35 or some such
a matter, good-looking, and he hasn't
by any means arrived as yet at the dry
as-dust stage of the average scientific
man career.
On the little island lying of the coast
of Virginia, hereinhefore mentioned,
there is a lighthouse The lighthouse
keeper had and has a daughter-a pref
ty. wholesome, unsophisticated, quite
uneducated and wholly charming vir-
ginia girl.

State Appropriations.

The total amount of appropriations
made by the last general assembly and
approved by the governor is $685.
966.0S. OF this, s5,19S, S5S.13 comes out
of the general revenue fund, and the
rest is from the various other funds.
The revenues in sight for the next two
years will amount to about $40, 000, 900,
leaving a small balance after paying
all appropriations and running eI-
penses of the state government for the
next two years. Therefore. when the
next legislature meets, there will be
on hand in the state treasury the same
balance of more than $4,000, 900 which
was on hand the first of January. 1t
will not be necessary to touch this
balance during these two years.

nymph and daughter of nature.
Moreover, the girl herself had a
beau. He was a rawboned young fish
erman, who combined business with
pleasure by "coteing" her while he
creased his boots.
This was, OF course, a complication
from the viewpoint of the young
scientist, let alone all other considera-
