It Gets So Brittle In Time That II May
Be Cut With Shears.
1t is generally supposed that glass Is
practically immortal Bun II has been
demonstrated that glass exposed to the
elements will decay and In time be-
come so rotten that II Is worthless.
Window glass exposed to the heat
and cold and varying winds will. after
number Of years. become so brittle
that 1t can be cut with a pair OF
shears. 1t Is said that light and dark
ness have different effects on glass.
and this alienation alone will cause II
to become fragile and In time worth
less.
1t is almost impossible to remove old
windows from building without
breaking mnny Of the pnnes Of glass.
New glass can be handled with much
more carelessness.
There Is certain elasticity to new
glass that leaves glass which has FAC
cd the weather for a number OF years.
Street takers who travel throughout
the country selling scissors will obtain
lot of old window glass and show
the crowds how wonderfully their
shears will cut by clipping Off strips
of the glass just as person would
cut paper. when in fact the feat Is
due to the fact that the glass is actu-
ally rotten.-Hnrper's Weekly.

those who were on the slip when il
broke can testify that it was packed as

ST. LOUIS WRITER'S
 PLANTATION COMPANY
Orange and Grape Fruit Tract Near
 IngIesde

Information from St. Louis indi- cates that the Writers Plantation company is progressing satisfactorily with the organization of their unique company that is establishing the club house and citrus fruit plantation at IngleSide.
 It will be remembered that last fall Phoenix was visited by MT. J. H Whyte. a prominent newspaper man in St. Louis. While here he crystal iZed what had been under consdera- = ton by d large number of prominent writers and managers of newspapers, magazines and advertisers of a plan tatiOn and winter resort in the south west At that time MT. Whyte ne gOtiated for a large tract of land just east and adjacent to Ingleside This land will be the basis of opera tons of this unique club of people known throughout the United States as top-notchers in their lines
 It is their purpose to operate an orange and grape fruit plantation at this place. A central club house will be a dominating feature and a national or inter national membership is to be built up.
 MT Whyte after his thorough in VestigatiOn of the southwest, became convinced that Phoenix offered the ideal winter climate of the world and that it was destined to be the southWests greatest success as a cit rus fruit growing locality, by virtue of lack of scale, superior flavor o1 the fruits and the further fact thar the fruits ripen earlier than those oi any other section therefore, brins the highest prices.
 Mir. w. J. Murphy is just in re. ceipt of an enthusiastic letter frOf the Writers Plantation company bN it's president, MT. Whyte, that they have some big men already signed up for stock in the proposition. Sev- eral of their prospective members art already quite well acquainted witt Phoenix and its citrus growing pos abilities. He advises that several o1 their new members have already de- cided to spend the next winter or their Ingleside plantation. One O these is the family of the city editol of the Globe Democrat.
