In the Allegheny mountains there
are cliffs composed of almost solid
quartz rock. These cliffs Were CON
sidered practically worthless until it
was discovered that glass could be
made-and very chcaply-from quartz
rock.
1t has been known for years that
cottins, tombstones. bricks. things and
similar articles could be made Of glass.
Nearly ten Years ago experiments
showed that railroad ties which We're
almost imdestructibie could be manu-
featured from glass.
Nov that Il process has been discov-
cred for utilizing these cliffs. it is
claimed that glass manufacturers will
be able tn extend their field OF opera
tons. There are even some cnthusi-
asts who predict that the time will
come when people will live in houses
made of glass bricks. walk ON floors
made of glass things, sit in glass chairs,
sleep in glass beds and be buried in
glass collins.
