Glass That Keeps Out Heat.

An Austrian inventor, Richard Szig-
mondy, is reported to have made a new
kind Of window glass whose chief pc
culiarity is that it prevents the pass
age Of nine-tenths of the heat of the
suns rays.
It is we'll known that ordinary win
dow glass allows nearly all of the heat
derived from the sun to pass through,
but, on the other hand, intercepts all
heat coming from non-luminous
sources, such as a stove or the heated
ground. This is the reason why heat
accumulates under the glass roof Of
dollhouse.

A LITTLE PATRIOT.
Story That Will Stir the Blood OF
Every Old Soldier and Lover

When Giuseppe Rossi came from

pie who live there come from every
part Of the world. Washington's
birthday means nothing to most Of
them, but Giuseppe goes to school, and
ii Is different with him.
The woman who cleans the halls in
the house where Giuseppe lived is
German. She was using WORKOUT
tattered old flag on Washington's
birthday to clean and dust with. AS
she rubbed the door knob vigorously
the Stars and Stripes waved gro
tesquely across the dirty front Of the
house. but suddenly she was violently
attacked by the small Italian boy, who
began beating her about the body
with his strong little fists. Then he
lowered his head. and running at her
like a goat, he butted her off the steps
10 the sidewalk.
The commotion caused by the fight
at last attracted policeman, into
whose custody the indignant woman
gave the boy, who was too angry to
speak coherently or tell his reason for
the attack.
When arraigned before magistrate

WARS GRIM HUMOR.
HInto the Jaws of Death" Rode Gen.
Stevenson and His GAL
liant Staff.

It was the delight Of the boys Of
the Sixth Missouri to get the general
angry whenever they could, writes an
old soldier correspondent OF the Ma
tional Tribune. The brigade during
the siege of Vicksburg was encamped
down In a gulch between Logan's bat
teries and Fort Hill (the confederate
forD, and 1t was my business to take
the orders from the headquarters of
the brigade, which was located back Of
Logan's battery, out of sight of the
Johnnies, of course. I could reach
the brigade and keep out Of sight of
sharpshooters by going about two
miles around and coming up through
the gulch, but laziness or recklessness
caused me generally to go over the
ridge between some very heavy guns
and coming out in plain sight of the
enemy's batteries had been having
some pretty close calls, and the bat
terry men had warned me time and
again. but laughed at them. But one
day the general sent for me to come
TO the big tent, and he told me that he
and his staff were going to visit the
brigade. He asked me which way I
went down to the brigade. l told him
that we had better go around and
come up through the gulch. He cut
me on pretty short. and demanded
which way I had been going l told
him had been going over between the
batteries, but it was very dangerous
He flew into passion, and said some
pretty rough words; wanted to know
II thought his staff and himself were
afraid to go where had been every
day.
Well, | did not feel very nice; but
urged that so many Of us on horses
going over the ridge would lead the
enemy to think a cavalry charge was

Our regiment, the First Michigan

Too intelligent not to recognize the

to put on airs" A young lieutenant
In our company made himself particu'

was hardly a man in the regiment who
was not looking for some opportunity
to get the laugh on him. Leaving

Which was greatly swollen by recent
heavy rains. Our captain happened &c

The bridge had been washed away OF
