following the closing OF contract with
Clarke Griffith to manage the Ma

is expected that Griffith will develop
some new material, as the present team
is admitted to be "all in." With Wal

few such youngsters as Ride Ainsmith
to start with the fans here think he
will build up practi ally a new organ

the trying experience of training new
men, and are ready to support Griffith
in this work. Griffith's ability for
bringing out youngsters will be given
an unusually free field.

PLATINIZED GLASS.
II Produces an Odd and Tricky Kind
of Mirror.

OF mirror.
Platinized glass consists of piece or
glass coated with an exceedingly thin
layer of a liquid charged with plati-
mum and then raised to red heat.
The platinum becomes united to the
glass in such way as to form an odd
kind of mirror.
The glass has not really lost its
transparency, and yet if one places 1t
against a wall and looks at 1t he sees
his image as in an ordinary looking
glass. But when light is allowed to
come through the glass from the other
side. as when IT is placed in window,
it appears perfectly transparent Ike
ordinary glass.
By constructing window Of plah-
uized glass one could stand close behind
the panes In an unilluminated room
and behold clearly everything going
on outside, while passersby looking at
the window would behold only a fine
mirror or set of mirrors in which their
own figures would be reflected while
the person inside remained invisible
In France various tricks have been
contriyed with the aid Of this glass

which trains the pupil to do things

able to do, however, is to express him
self: to formulate what thoughts he
has acquired, to pue them into shape
that may be assimilated by Others
That modern scientific education Is
neplecting this side of training in its
effort to suppress everything that is
merely literary is charged by MT.

and saddened Wednesday morning,
March 20 where it was learned that
Mrs. Reuben Norman had passed away

ing here, which was Is years ago, when
they rented the V. |. Spear farm and
lived there until years ago, when they
bought the house where they have since
lived For several years her health has
not been very good but still she con-
tinued to work About year ago,
while helping move some furniture, she
was struck on the head by chitfonier
and badly hurt, and this might have
been a minor cause of her death. Ii
can be said of her, "She hath done what
she could she hath looked well to the
ways of her household; she hath gone
| to her reward and her children shall
rise up and call her blessed" She united
with the church here. The funeral was
held from the church Thursday after
