Soluble Glass.

In 1918 a German professor stumbled
upon the discovery OF soluble glass.
which he made from silica with soda
and potash combined. This Is now ex
tensively used for rendering wood
work incombustlble and marble aud
plaster secure against atmospheric
agents as vehicle for mineral col
ors. In kind Of fresco painting to be-
exposed to the weather. In the manu-
facture OF artificial stone aud In the
composition OF freproof dement's for
stoves. etc.
About thirty years ago II was dlscov
cred that glass might be rendered ex
ceedingly hard by dipping Il In oil
when at certain degree OF tempera
ture. The PARTICLES however. seem
to De put In state OF high tension,
and the whole may suddenly 6y into
thousand pieces.

CAN'T READ THEIR LIPS.
When Actors Do Not Face tho Audi
enee IL Bothers the Deaf

SHSC " 1oIH0Ft INC oCdt
Time and tine again we're asked
to have our actors face the audience
squarely when speaking lines that are
Of great Importance" theatrical
manager said recently. The expIana-
ton for the request is generally the
ga me-that deaf people In the audience
who depend on lip reading rather than
hearing lose the run of the play If
some important lines are spoken by a
person whose lips can't be read An
actor or actress who's stuck on posing
in profile is always the despair of the
deaf people In the audience. as they
say it's almost impossible to read lips
In profile
"Out ticket agent hears another side
of the same question. People tell him
when buying tickets that some one in
the party is stone deaf and must read
the lips of the actors In order to fol
low the play. Then they ask him on
which side of the theater these par
ticular seats should be located to make
this lip reading the most satisfactory.
Often the stage setting decides which
way the actors must face, and If
deaf person gets on the wrong side of
the house the play is practically lost"

L.Ibortv and Independence.

When the presidential struggle be-
tween Clay and Jackson was at its
height It is related that a band of
emigrants from Kentucky and the then
other western states commenced to
settle on the north side of the Missouri
river and called their county Clay and
the county seat Liberty.
At the same time another lot of emil
grants from Virginia and other south
ern states pitched their tents on the
south side of the Big Muddy and called
their county Jackson and the capital
Independence. And SO 1t remains to
this day. Clay stood for liberty and
Jackson for independence.

GUARANTEE Law
COSTS LARGE sum

Guthrie, OKLA, Jan. 16.-The state
bank guarantee law is an expensive
luxury. Two years ago the total cash
in the fund reached $81S,740. On
January l the total was 1888, 1877,
showing a net loss of $4S4,952. Against
this are the assets of one wrecked
bank, $500 in value. Half the loss
came from one failure, that of the
Columbia Bank at Oklahoma City.
The probabilities are that the pres
ent session of the legislature will
make several amendments to the law,
among them regulating the number. of
assessments that can be levied. About
twenty state banks have become ma
tionalized in order to avoid the opera
lions of the law, and it is probable
that others will do so. The deposits
of the state are at a high level. They
have held up well during the past six
months, about in proportion to other
states of the middle West

Chief Signal Officer Allen Says
Multiplex Telephony Is
Practicable.

Washington, JAM 16.-General Allen,
the chief signal officer of the army,
has announced that as a result of re-
cent experiments by the Signal Corps
multiplex telephony is now practical
BILE, whereby several independent con-
versations may be carried on stimuli
taneOusly over the same wire circuit.
Another important discovery, cal
culated to double at least the capacity
of the existing lines is that it is no
longer necessary to use two wires, or
what is known as the "restrun wire"
for efficient telephony, but that a
single wire with silent earth" con-
nections can be used for multiplex
telephony.
The instruments required in multi
pick telephony are already developed
and can be purchased from dealers in
the open market.
1t is remarkable fact that the super
position of additional telephone
conversation upon. wire circuit does
not interfere in the slightest degree
with the operation of the present tele-
phone installation, which remain un-
changed.
That the new system is entirely
racticable, and that it has long passed
the experimental stage, is evidenced
by the fact that a single wire circuit
between the research laboratory of the
Signal Corps at the Bureau of Stand
ards on the heights north of Washing
ton and the Signal Corps, construc-
ton laboratory at 171O Pennsylvania
avenue is now daily being used for the
independent transmission OF two
simultaneous telephone conversations.
