Glass Paving a Failure

Seven or eight years ago a plant
was established at La Demie Lune, q
suburb about four miles from Lyons.
for making glass paving material.
After many experiments carried out
at the factory, the manufacturer ap-
piled to the Lyons municipality for
the right to make trial on one of the
chief thoroughfares. The necessary
authorization was granted, provided
that the inventor would bear the en-
tire expense Of the undertaking. The
place chosen for laying the glass
pavement was section Of the Place
de la Republique. where traffic OF
cabs. automobiles and wagons Of all
kinds is very heavy. The glass bricks
remained in place for less than two
years, and were then taken out. as
they were in very poor condition. The
edges were all broken, and in many
cases the blocks were split through
and through. The opinion Of oficials
at that time was to the effect that
this glass pavement could be used un-
der favorable circumstances for foot
paths, but not for the middle Of
streets.

of most aeroplane accidents, but dur

the fatal accident to Lieutenant Sc
velle recently in France an important
discovery is said to have been made
by eye-witnesses. This was that the
wing of his Bleriot broke downward

Never had she felt arms like these

Mrs. Mortimer patted her hand. A
little while later all four went over
to the city and drove uptown to the
Mortimer home. On the way Fortune

ing any essential detail. And all her
new mother did was to put an arm
about her and draw her closer.
The Mortimer home was only three
blocks away from Georges. So, when
dinner was over, George declared that
he would run over and take look at
his own house. He wanted to wander
about the rooms bit, to fancy how
It would look when Fortune walked
at his side. He promised to return
within an hour. He had forgotten
many things, ordinarily important;
such as wiring his agent, his butler
and cook, who were still drawing their
wages. He passed along the street
above which was his own. He paused
for a moment to contemplate the
great banking concern. And the pres
ident Of this bank was the elder
brother Of Ryanne! Lots Of queer
kinks in the world; lots Of crooked
turnings. He passed on, turned the
corner, and strobe toward his home,
ran up the steps. Three doors below
ecstasy thrilling his heart. Lightly he
noticed two automobiles. He gave
them only cursory glance. He took
out his ring Of keys, found the night
latch and thrust 1t into the keyhole.
He never had believed in this putting
up of iron gates and iron shutters. A
night-latch and caretaker who came
round once day was enough for any
sensible person. He turned the key.
Eh? It didn't seem to go round. He
tried several times, but without sue
cess. Puzzled. he struck match and
stopped before the keyhole.
1t was a new one.

this fact Immediately. He disliked the

not help admiring his rogue OF a

George disliked the voice even more
than the man himself. Everything

complained.

volvers in his coat-pocket.

"Mr Wadsworth, everything will
be fully explained to you the moment

note Of affection.

together with a click.

house, each singularly wrought with
agitation. Fortune walked ahead with
George. Neither spoke. They could
