CAN SETTLE ON
SAME TERMS

The news that the Traction com.
pany had agreed to the scale pre-
scented by the local linemen and
had signed up for a year was re-
ceived by the people generally last
night with satisfaction. One thing
now seems certain, that no matter
how long the strike continues the
Washington Water Power company
will not receive terms from the
linemen that will be any better
than those agreed upon with the
Traction company. 1t Is claimed
that the only way in which the
Washington Water Power company
can now settle the trouble will be
to accept the same terms as the
Traction people. If the company
will do this the trouble can be set
tied at any time. 1t Is stated.

discovery, which is likely to have
important practical results, has
been made by DR.. A. L. Day Of this
city, formerly of the United States
geological survey. Mr.. Day has
perfected method of making
quartz glass" This Is a problem
on which scientists have been at
work for a decade. Hitherto they
have been able to make the glass,
but never without bubbles-anu
rendered 1t useless for most pur-
poses.
The Carnegie institute came to
DR.. Days rescue and furnished him
with money for expensive appa-
ratus ~ which the glass could be
subjected to the enormous pres
sure of 500 pounds to the square
inch at the very high temperature
of 1000 degrees Farenheit. With
this combination the perfect quartz
glass has been produced.
The particular quality which rem
ders quartz glass valuable is it's
hardness and Its resistance to heat.
A slab of this glass may be put
in safe door, and the safe re-
main as freproof as If it were
solid steel. Oven and furnace
doors may now be made with win
