GLASS MADE BY MACHINE.
Tine.honored Method Of Blowing Il
May Be Suspended

Tine.honored Method Of Blowing Il
May Be Suspended
Common, ordinary window glass Is
one of the few industrial products of
which the method of making has prac-
tical!y remained stationary.
From time to time attempts have
been made to use mechanical appara-
tus for blowing the glass. but the re-
suits have beeen unsatisfactory and
the old method has persisted.
The workman blows a cylinder Of
glass. which is then split open Length.
wise and carried to furnace, where
1t opens out under the influence Of the
heat. A slow procese. consequently
expensive, and above oil Injurious to
the health Of the blowers.
Now an American engineer has
Just invented . simple machine. for
which. when certain difficulties are
overcome. great success is hoped.
The glass Is made like paper, then q
sheet Of the paste 10 drawn vertical
ly from the tub. and this horizontal
cylinder carries over an endless table,
then into an annealing furnace, from
which comes forth an uninterrupted
band Of glass that can be cut OF IN
desired lengths.
One Of the greatest difficulties in
this method is to prevent the glass
paste from growing thinner by its
own weight az 1t Is drawn from
the tub. This problem has been solv.
ed by placing in the tub two balls
that rotate rapidly from the bottom
to the top. which has the effect of
continually drawing masses of glass
towards the top, thus counteracting
the tendency to string down and con-
tract.
With this new method single fur
mace can produce twelve tons Of glass
every twenty-four hours, and ell its
service requires is Waterman, a cut.
ter and two boys to take away tho
panes.
BY the present method Of blowing
1t would taken twcnty.four men to
produce the same result.

Out Of Order,

Champ Clark loves to tell Of how
IN the heat Of q debate Congressman
Johnson Of Indiana called an Illinois
representative a Jackass. The ex-
preston was supplementary. and in
retraction johnson said:
While withdraw the unfortunate
words, Mr.. Speaker. I must insist that
the gentleman from Illinois is out Of
ORDER"
How am out Of order?" yelled
the man from Illinois.
Probably a veterinary surgeon
could ten you!" answered johnson
and that was parliamentary enough
to stay on the record.

for something over threel thousand
dollars was received from an estate
In Wheeling collected as inheritance
tax and about six thousand recently
came In from another estate In the
same manner. Yesterday in the "Nutes
from, State Capital tails very Interest
ing item appeared:
THE tax department collected dur
Ing the months of April. May and June
the sum OF $7.S12.27 from persons who
were escaping the payment of State
taxes. All of this sum was picked up
by the field deputies and represented
taxes oni tobacco. pool tables. drug
gists. hotels and restaurants. money
brokers, merchandise brokers. show
boats, cfrcuses etc. About $500 was
also picked UP by these deputies
through transfer OF liquor licenses.
where the parties had attempted to
escape the payment OF tine $4,000 trans
Fer fee"
All OF this Is very welcome reading
to those who have been fighting for
tax reform us well as for the people
whose taxes have been lowered. The
State Tax Department has proved It.
self to be one OF the most important
departments of the State government
and the people are reaping the benefits
of It's careful and palnstakinE-- work.
The collection OF the money to run
the State government and State i1stt-
tutions Is huge task but the work Is
being SO systenlatizeh that 1t Is being
done in n most satisfactory manner
and in the meantime the State tax
rate remains at five cents on the 500
valuation instead of 30 cents under the
old law when there was no State tax
and the whole matter OF
State revenue was n side Issue with
the officials OF the other departments
OF the State government. =;
