SIMPLE WAY TO FROST GLASS.

Paris, April 24-A French chemist
has discovered a very simple and easy
way to frost glass. The method is
to cover q tumbler or bottle or other
glass object with thin smooth and
thoroughly laid on covering OF glue.
Either very good cabinetmAker's glue
or fish glue will serve PERFECTLY.
The only care that must be taken Is
to SEQ that there ARE no air bubbles
in the glue after It has been applied
and that the coating Is uniform ard
OF even tliokn oss over the entire
article.
Glue thus applied to glass sticks to
1t very tightly. Then 1t begins to
contract a. It dries. Now, Its tight
hold on the glass prevents the layers
of glue frou contracting without
pulling ut tho glass. and thus, little
by little, the glue slits and splits In
fragmsns from the surface Of the glass
II certain salts arc added to tho
glue tho effect Is still more beautiful
because then the splitting Of tho tiny
fragments ID done In such q manner
that tho result forms = perfect TO.
ssmbianoc to = frosted window pane.
A KIass tumblcr or flask so treated
becomes bes rsiful and ornamental to
the room or tho glass cabinet.

TAFT DID RIGHT.

Washington, d. c., May 13.-District
Attorney A. E. Hofton, who is in the
city, when asked today what ne
thought of the appointment OF Judge
Connor, said:
81 think it the best the President
could do under the circumstances.
Some of the Republican leaders, who
claim the right to speak for the par
ty In the SKATE, made such condition
that the appointment was but the log
.cal result. They l"fy-blowed' every
Republican lawyer in the district OF
prominence with the view of naming
n Judge from an individual standpoint
This the President would not stand
for. When the Republicans of the
State are fully informed, they will sar
the President was right, and place the
responsibility for our failure to get q
Republican as Judge where it properly
pe4oAgs.
Judge Conmor- will make an idea
1adge and will measure up in the ad-
I5lnistration of the Office to the salts
faction of the people and the expecta

EXTERMINATE THE FLIES.
One of the Most Effective. Insidi0us
Agencies i'm the Dissemination OF
Disease.

Disease.
Dr. W. A. Evans, of Chicago-but of
the whole United States in his round
of lectures on the subsection of sani-
tation, and in his crusade against dis
ease, has recently returned to his
home from one of his lecturing tours
and has again taken up his work as
commissioner of public health and has
been giving some excellent advice on
the homely but highly important sub
ject of the determination Of the flies
1t should not be necessary to say
that flies are one of the most effective
agencies in the dissemination Of dis
ease and that their determination, as
the summer season advances, is one
of the most important works of prep
aration to be undertaken while there
is yet time.
DIR. Evans not only indicates the i'm
rortance of this work, but he gives
careful directions as to how it is to be
carried out. He gives the formula of
a poison that will kill flies and at the
same time will in nowise endanger
human life.
A dram of bichromate of potash dis
solved in two ounces of water and
sweetened, is the cheap and effective
kill themselves.
There are other sanitary regula-
tions, though, that the health report
says ought to be exercised. Here are
some of the ways suggested:
Screen your windows and doors be-
fore fly time.
Screen all food, especially milk.
Keep flies away from the sick, espe-
cially those i'll with contagious dis
eases.
Eliminate the breeding places of
fiies-this is important.
The following should be done:
Sprinkle chloride of lime or kero-
sene over contents of garbage boxes
and other refuse.
Keep garbage receptacles tightly
covered. Clean the cans daily.
Clean the boxes every week. Sprin-
kle them with kerosene. or chloride of
lime.
Pour kerosene into the drains; keep
sewerage system in good order
Clean cuspidors every day; keep a
per cent. solution of carbolic acid il
them all the time.
Don't allow dirt to accumulate il
| corners, behind doors, back of radia
| tors or under stoves.
No dlrt-no flies.
The season is already at hand fol
carrying out these directions and
careful observance of these rules will
do much towards preserving tn
health of the city during the month
to come.

AN IMPORTANT PRECEDENT.
A Case That Involves Principle

Washington, D. c., May 14-What
promises to become a celebrated case
i'll patent law was aired in the Dis-
trict Supreme Court today, when Com
missioner of Patents Moore was cited
to appear and show cause why he
should not be enjoined from striking
from the patent office files Tungsten
filaments for use in incandescent
lighting.
The complainant in the case is John
G. Heany, an inventor of York, Pa,
who was acquitted here last fall on a
charge of conspiracy to defraud the
government by alterations and de
struction Of patent Office records.
Heany claims to have invented the
Tungsten filaments and says invalida-
ton of his patents by Commissioner
Moore would cost him a large amount
Of money. The commissioner had di-
rected Heany, the Heany Company anG
the Heany Lamp Company to show
cause why their application shoulG
not be stricken from the files Heany
