Profits in Broken Glass.

Phe waste from glass furnaces is
now made useful. In a fire-resisting
mold are placed fragments of glass of
various colOrs. which are then raised
to a high temperature. The coherent
mass thus produced can be dressed
and cut into beautiful notified blocks
and slabs, forming an artificial marble
of decorative surface.
Designs in relief can be obtained
by pressure while the material is still
plastic From broken glass a stained
glass" window can be made by firing.
without the ordinary slow process of
leading. A prosaic soda water bot.
tie in the final fulfllment of its des-
tiny may dazzle the eye as brilliant
diamonds" or other precious stones.
Thus does waste come to resemble
the most valuable commodity if prop.
erly handled and utilized.

Amy man who can read would prob
ably resent such an imputation of ig-

asked the little tot when he or she first
sets foot In school. But srownup men
and women may be pardoned for be-
lieving they are speaking the truth
when they answer yes to the ques-

they don't know their letters. Why

to know that A takes its shape from a

picture of an Egyptian bird. D repre-

We got our letters from the PhGni-

from the hieroglyphic picture writing
OF Egypt. So don't be so sure OF your

Protecting EAGLES.

The American eagle is protected by
a special United States statute that
makes it misdemeanor, punishable
by heavy fine, to shoot or capture
the national bird. DR.. II. S. Wende. of
Tonawanda, recently came in posses
sion OF an eagle that was shot through
the wing and captured on Grand Is
land. His attention was called to the
federal law, which is not generally
known, and as soon as the eagle is
able to fly it will be returned to the
island. There are four more American
eagles in the forest on Grand Island.
Special permits are granted by the
government to public parks to hold
eagles in captivity.

The door OF his study opened brisk
ly and Brandon felt the blue veins at
his temples grow more blue; his
stopped shoulders. more stopped; his
thin hands, more fragile; and knew
by all these signs that Glomer, his
rugged, six-foot, sunburned friend had
walked in unannounced.
Glomer it was, and he began with
out preface:
Il want some science"
The much-read man looked up in
establishment:
Yes" Glomer said seriously Miss
Hansel, you know, is scientific"
Her father was an anatomist
and"
She knows all about it from
lymph, believe she calls 1t, to hair"
And YOU" Brandon said, have a
vague idea that your liver is some
where between your head and your
heels" He looked enviously at the
tower of muscular manhood on his
hearth-rug. How lightly the man
stood on his feet. yet how firm and
how sure.
Il don't want to talk to Miss Hansel
about my liver" Glomer told him, so
It doesn't matter where 1t is"
Brandon took of his glasses:
Science" he submitted, has a
rather broad range. II you would
specify a bit Do you want to talk to
Miss Hansel about your-er-heart?
That was what the discussion was
about She said that lay heart was
on one side of my chest and under a
rib. tried to set her right and
science, It seems. does not like to be
set right"
Brandon summed up scientifically:
You contradicted science and Miss
Hansel contradicted you and so there
was unpleasantness. But where do l
come in7"
There wasn't unpleasantness then.
We were interrupted. But from this
note asking ne to call" Glomer
stopped. lifted himself q little higher
and said earnestly:
Temper Is not q matter Of temper
ament but of temperature. When a
mans arteries are full of blood, his
temperature 10 high, he Is cheerful.
good-natured; when his circulation is
slack, his temperature IL low, he Is
moody, irascible. quick to take Of

"a sea-going man once told me that
there was a formula for steering
through Taifuns. Can you give me
q description of Taifunf"
Brandon, bewildered, resigned him
self to the stronger hold and took
down a book.
at is here" he said and began to
read: "'Taifuns generally occur after
tho dnldrums have reached their ex-
IRENE position"
Very true" Glomer commented,
the doldrums have been getting
further round for some time"
Brandon, through his glasses, shot

low, failed to make anything Of his
expression save deep interest. and
eontipqed:

Exactly" Glomer put In quietly
and Brandon realized that the man
was In dead earnest about this abb
surd notion.
Hence they are generally accom-
panied by torrential rains, heavy
clouds, thunder and lightning and ex-
hibit immense wind energies"
Exactly" Glomer repeated and
there was throb Of excitement In his
well controlled tone. "And you have
formula there for steering through
Taifuns?"
Yes. Let's see-'The wind al
