TELEGRAPH POLE OF CRYSTAL
Streets In French City Paved With
Glass Blocks Also Asserted to
Give Satisfaction.

The increasing uses to which crystal
is being put are little short OF mar
velous. In Lyons there are many
streets paved with glass blocks, these
being adjusted SO perfectly that water
is not able to pass between them. 1t
is said that the glass pavement has
greater resistance than stone and is a
bad conductor of heat, for which rea-
son ice does not form readily on ne
surface. Moreover, it is beyond Ques-
ton more durable than stone, it is
cheaper and more easily portable. and
it offers neither interstices nor hol-
lows where mud can lodge.
In Germany. near Frankfort, there
is factory for the manufacture of
crystal telegraph poles. In order to
give better solidity to the crystal mass
of the posts they carry framework
of thick wire. These posts are better
than wood because they perfectly re-
sist the attacks of insects and are i'm
pervious to atmospheric influences.
Dresses made of crystal thread
have been known for some time.
Dresses of spun crystal have a brill
liancy like silk Curtains, carpets.
mantles, and relatively fine textures
generally are being made of crystal.
while factories are going up in various
parts of western Europe for the fur
thering OF this ndustry.-Harper 8

Meddina RlnQ.

Most people know that the reason
the wedding ring is put on the fourth
hnger of the left hand is said to be
because the first two fingers and the
thumb were counted all as fingers.
and therefore as three. The thumb
used to be the ring finger anciently.
and the seal rings OF those in author
ity were placed on this first short.
thick finger. the most useful OF the
hand. The wedding ring is the mod
eru descendant OF this old-time thumb
ring and was removed to the fourth
finger in this way: The first three
were named for the three persons OF
the Trinity. and at the word amen,
after the naming of the three, the
ring reached the fourth finger and was
left there In reality. the ring finger
is the safest place for 1t.
There is another and less pleasant
origin. too. for the wedding ring. The
old rings were the mark of bondage
as well as of dignity.
