not able to send him to college and
the influence to obtain an appointment

work on a Sabine river tugboat, and
three years later became an appren-

OF the Titanic disaster are a dread

CASKET IS MADE OF GLASS
BOUND BY METAL

Made of two pieces which are
bound together by heavy metal
bands, a glass casket has been
invented which will soon be in
troduced for burial purposes.
This serves both as a coffin and
vault, as it requires no protec-
ton against the chemical &C
ton Of the earth. When closed
it is Theoretically sealed and is
proof against both air and Wa
ter. The two sections are mold
ed in heavy glass, which gives
the casket great strength. Its
general form is the same, prac-
tically, as that of burial recep-
tacles. The chief point advanc-
ed in it's favor is it's obvious
of durability.-From
