Glass Pavements.
From the Youths Companion.

> n
Seven or eight years ago a plant was
established near Lyons, FRANCE. for the
manufacture of paving glass. Numerous
descriptions of the new paving material
were published and brilliant future was
predicted for it. The city authorities Of
Lyons permitted the manufacturer to lay
a specimen section of glass pavement in
the Place de la Republique, center for
heavy traffic. The glass bricks failed to
stand the test OF wear. The edges of
them We're soon broken and splintered
and many Of the blocks split in two, 30
hat within two years 1t became necessa-
to remove the widely heralded innova-
zion and substitute stone or wood. The
city officials are agreed that glass pave
ment can be used under favorable circum-
stances for sidewalks, but not for the
middle of streets

1t is curious fact that it remained for
British representatives and the British
government itself to disclose these
charges against the corporation.
The State Department, although with
out direct interest in the matter. as no
American citizens are involved, has seen
fit to address the Peruvian government
in the broader interest Of humanity. It
has secured pledges from that govern
ment that through DEGREES which have
been promulgated the obnoxious condi-
tons will be terminated.
The State Department is now sending
Capt. Fuller on this rather dangerous
mission to make sure that this pledge has
been redeemed.
