There is story which " endell Phlllps
used TO delight in telling in his cele-
brated lecture on "The Lost Arts" OF a
Roman who in the time Of Tiberius
brought back to Rome from some east
ern country a glass cup, beautifully
chased, which 10 the establishment Of
ali behOlders, he dashed with all his
force upon the pavement, and. instead
Of being broken, IL was simply dented.
He picked it up. and, with a hammer
brought il back into shape,
In the time OF Pliny there was
brought to Rome a kind Of glass per
fectly transparent that on being sus-
pended for - hours stretched itself
out into a long ribbon. which could
then be wound round the waist.
Why was the process lostE Evidently
because it was known only TO the dis
coverers Of the method, who could find
no protection in those days when there
were no patent laws except by keeping
their operations secret But II II has
once been done it can be done again.
In fact, many efforts have been made
to solve this problem.
One Invention known.
In 1903 a man named Kauffeld. In
Indiana, invented kind OF malleable
glasses which would stand very rough
usage, but more needs 10 be done What
is wanted. and what we shall unQues-
tionably get in time, is a malleable
glass that can be made on the largest
scale and that will be as tough as
metal.
Here is the inventors chance. A
great fortune awaits the lucky oiscOv-
erer. and ne viii bestow a great boon
upon mankind.

Glass That Would Bend and Not Break
Would Be A Great Boon To Mankind
By GARRETT P. SERvISS.

n FADING Of the sufferings OF
X avIators from the freezing wind
when high in the air on a cold
day. am reminded Of an invention
for which the world has long been
waiting, and the necessity for which
grows stronger every day.
It is flexible, malleable glass that is
wanted.
With such glass small curved
screen that would not be broken by
the wind, or by an accidental blow,
and not presenting a surface large
enough TO interfere with the progress
could easily be made which would ppro-
tect the aviator from the cutting
wind produced by the speed Of his ma
chine.
Has n Thousand Uses.
Such glass would instantly find a
thousand useful applications It would
be indispensable Tor automobile screens
which are now made of broad sheets
Of flat, brittle glass, and are often
sources OF danger. It would take the
plate of ordinary glass for car win
dOws, which are also dangerous to pas
sengers, being likely to burst into shiv-
ers In case Of accident House windows
would also be made Of this glass. not
only because it would be more lasting,
but because II could be shaped into
many forms Of beauty and convenience.
curved glass window is now an eXL-
pensive rarity. With malleable glass,
which could be bent and hammered in
10 any shapes desired, lsuch windoWe
would be at the disposal Of all, and il
is easy TO see what charming effects
could be wrought with them.
Roofs Of glass, cOlOred, If desired,
could be made which would not be in
danger Of destruction by the first hail
storm. One could walk over them as
safely as over q roof OF tin or tar
red pebbles. A bootiack. flung by some
excited householder awakened at mid
night by a feline serenade. would not
be followed by an expensive crase..
Even fiat windows made of malleab
glass would be infinitely safer than tn
