members are Bishop Lawrence, Cardinal
Gibbons, Robert Watchorn. and Jacob
Riis. The Civic League has recently pre-
pared a pamphlet printed in English,
French, Italian. German. Spanish. and
Yiddish, which contains some simple but
valuable Information about the United
states and the duties of its citizens. The
pamphlet is called Messages for New

In these pamphlets the immigrants are
informed that they must not believe that

Safety of Submarines.

The accidents which have occurred
during the last year in foreign navies
in which submarines have been con-
spicuous have created comment in some
quarters as 10 the danger attaching TO
that form Of naval operations. Our own
service has been free from these tragic dis
asters. and it is a question whether this
is due 10 the lack Of submarine ma
neuvers, as compared with the practice
abroad. or because Of the greater pre-
cautions for safety taken by American
submarine navigators. II is natural, per-
haps. that there should be apprehension
concerningthe submarines. It is necessarily
the most hazardous OF naval work That
factor proves an attraction to those who
prefer the nerils which are by no means
lacking on the surface torpedo boat or
on board the battle ship. The submarine
is an Indispensable adjunct OF the night
ing force anoat It has come to stay,
regardless of its hazardous character

very risks which must be taken by its
operators. and the fatalities with sub

mate reason for an abandonment Of the

which have occurred in the French,

in pointing the way TO the protection of
those vessels.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Beginning of the Glass Industry in America-June Is

moved there in i775. In 1851, the Massa-
ehusetts legislature gave to a Boston
glass company the exclusive right to
make glass in the State for fifteen years
This latter is said to have been the first
successful glass factory in the United
States.
Pittsburg, Pa, first made glass in 1885,
and is still most important glass maxi
ing center At the very beginning coal
was used instead of the traditional wood
fuel. In 1927. pressed glass was invented
by a carpenter of Sandwich. Mass. With
the discovery of a cheaper and better
fuel, IN the form Of NATURAL gas. the
center of glass making moved west of
the Alleghenies. where 1t still remains.
By the close OF 1850, the census shows
that the glass industry OF the United
States had been brought 10 e very ex-
tensive and prosperous condition. There
were then 2l1 factories In the United
States, at capitalization of close TO
SO, 600, 900 In 1890, the number of fac
tories had increased 10 294. and the
capitalization had doubled itself,
Within recent years artistic glass
ware Of great beauty had been produced
in the United States, notable example
OF which Is the famous "Favrille" glass.
The United States still imports more
glass than she exports, the exports being
that peculiar product of Yankee inge-
nuity-pressed glass.

The manufacture of glass was known
to the Egyptians at a very early date.
As far back as 1000 3. c., the tombs
contain illustrations of glass-blowers at
work, and glazed pottery has been dis
covered that no doubt dates to prehis-
toric times. In Phoenica, In AssyFia,
and Babylonia, evidences OF the manu-
facture of glass have been discovered.
and later in Persia, China, and India.
In Italy, glass first appears at the
very beginning Of the Iron Age, and
with the extension of the Roman
power, the use of glass increased
enormously. From Italy the industry
was introduced into Gaul Spain, and
Germany. In Venice. glass was made
as early as the fifth century. and in
France the factories Of Poictiers were
active during the Roman and Frankish
periods, survived the Norman invasion,
and were left legacy TO the gentlemen
workers of the Middle Ages.
Great differences of opinion prevail
regarding the origin of glass making
IN Great Britain, some claiming that
II was established before the Roman
conquest, and others as late as the
sixteenth century
Glass manufacture in the United
States dates at a very much later period.
In 1908. some glass makers were among
the artisans brought to jamestown, Va.
but the craze for tobacco interfered
with their industry. In 1921. several
Italian glass workers were imported TO
manufacture beads for the Indians. In
1879. a glass house was erected at
Salem. Mass. and William Penn alludes

A Shock to the Scientists.

It is not often that brazen swindlers
who conduct spiritualistic manifestations
confess to the fraud and sham OF their
practices. but one such has appeared 10
tell the narrative of his perhdy, which
ne does presumably for revenue rather
than for any such pious motive he al
leges as an excuse for the article sert
out from St. Louis ard entitled. How l
Fooled the Scientists" This person IS
Horace Monroe Kanouse, and for years
he has been making money BY "fooling"
people at a price easily extracted from
the credulous, and by such simple means
as table rappings. the spirit hand bust
ness, and the faInilia. claptrap Of cabinet
and darkroom seances.
Mountebanks of this character thrive In
every town of enough size to contain
people willing. and even anxious. to set
a word or two from the so-called spirit
lard They pay well for the messages
so frequently delivered in sublime de-
hanee of grammatical construction Of
sentences. and OF purpOrt that would be
an everlasting discredit to the alleged
authors, and about as valuable TO the
recipient as the explosion Of a firecrack-
err These frauds have successfully sur
vived countless exposures. Even in
Washington the mediums. male and fe-
male who pretend 20 produce messages
from the dead and who claim to ma
terialize the departed. nave been repeat
edly shown up as wanton impostors.
whose cruel fakes have made a market
of human grief. There is nothing quito
like the ignoble traffic of the tawdry
mediumistc gang. Sometimes the cheat
is dowdifed woman with not enough
intelligence to spell the fictitious name
by which she is known in her nefarious
calling, and again It is a lynx-eyed man
who makes more than living by few
slick passes Of the hand, none of it
above the crudest form of Iegerdemain
and the best and weirdest of it a pitiful
caricature OF amateur prestdigitation.
Lately New York has had the advan-
tage of observing an Italian peasant
woman imported after series of sue
cesses IN Europe before scientists. who
have been puzzled" by her tomfoolery
and who persist in staying puzzled when
they find she sometimes cheats" This
woman has recently been again exposed,
but she will go on fooling the scientists
and other people who want to be fooled
and who are willing 10 pay for that SEN
sation.
The ST. Louis medium who now ex-
poses himself viii probably have to night
mis- way into being regarded as the fraud
he proclaims himself. because there are
those who will insist he is still of the
mystic state capable Of producing spirit
hands and imparting conversation from
the more or less historic dead. II is
interesting TO note in this connection that
the st. Louis medium is good enough
to disclaim any special credit for fooling
scientific people. He says. as matter OF
fact, they are the easiest TO be non
plused, and that it requires more skill to
fool a hard-headed business man, and es-
peciauy a workingman.
Perhaps there is something psyche
logical in this announcement from an
authority who has made a speciality or
deception. At all events. he seems 10
have given blow TO the dignity of the
scientific Endorsement of spIritualism.
