The Making of Clipped Glass.

Sheets Of glass that are covered with
a shell-like raised pattern are In use
for screens, partitions, electric light
fixtures and other purposes. This
Clipped glass, for the pattern Is often
really Clipped out Of the surface, in
wolves a process that is interesting.
The sheet Of glass to be treated Is
placed under a sand blast in order to
give 1t a grain. This ground surface
Is next treated with q solution Of good
glue, and the glass Is placed in a dry
ing room on a rack, where 1t remains
for some hours. Next the sheets of
glass are removed to the chipping
room, where they are placed on edge
back to back, with the coated surfaces
outward This room is heated by
steam coils, and when the beat Is turn
ed on the glue reaches its utmost de-
gree Of desiccation and curls OF the

to that Of a silver dollar, but 1t ad-
heres so closely to the glass that In
its effort to get free it tears a piece
OF the surface, the result being a

CATTLE KING BEGAN
As HELPER IN MARKET
Romantic Rise of Butcher Boy
Who Died Leaving an Estate
of s20,OO0,OO0.

Oakland, Cal.-The romantic rise Of q
young German butcher boy, once the
butt Of jokes at Washington market, In
New York, for his inability to speak
English, to the position of cattle king
of the west and probably the largest
single land owner in the country has
been revealed by a legal controversy
over the administration Of his estate I'm
California.
Three years before he died in Oak
land, Henry Miller decided his entire
S20,OOO,OO0 estate to his daughter, Mrs.
]. Leroy Nickel of San Francisco, to
avoid the inheritance tax collectors of
the state. The collectors now are at.
tempting to find way in which they
can collect the tax.
Miller came to this country from
Wurttemberg. Germany, in 1S47. He
worked for a time in a small down.
town hotel In New York as a porter.
Finally he obtained work in Washing
ton market as a apprentice, where he
was known as "Potsdam."
He saved his money and in Deem
Der, 1850, Joined the gold rush to Cali
fornia. He arrived too late to get to
the gold fields and got job as a sec
ond butcher In San Francisco. In ten
months he had saved enough to set up
for himself. Then the miners who had
found the gold came back and, spend
ing their money recklessly, made for
tunes for the merchants of the town.
Miller later became associated with
Charles Lux, a cattleman, and together
they bought hundreds Of thousands Of
acres of grazing land in California,
Oregon, Nevada and other western
states. They went into the cattle rails
ing business and at one time owned
$4,000 head of cattle and 100000 sheep.

INDIAN TRIBES USE
WRESTLING LANGUAGE
Able to Express Their Thoughts
Perfectly by Its Use, Says
Mining Engineer.

Car sic. Pa.-That entire tribes of
Indians in Mexico carry on long con-
versat;Ons by means of whistling is as
serted by Harold T. Mapes, mining en-
,sincer. who was for twelve years in
Mexico, but now lives in Carlisle.
Mapes declares that the Indians have
a whiStling language and are able to
use. He says it is not a series Of signs
or calls signifying danger, love, fear,
peace, war, etc, but regular language,
by which the most subtle shades of
thought may be expressed.
Like people in other parts of the
world, the Mexican Indians occasion
ally whistle for their dinners, only they
are able to explain by their whistles
exactly what kind Of a dinner they
want--either q simple meal of tortillas
and frijoles or a more elaborate feast
of enchiladas and mole guajalote, with
cerveZt or vino.
Mapes says that he understands that
the whistling language has been hand
ed down from generation to generation
from the time of the Toltecs and Az
tees and that Indian lovers can put a
world of tenderness and passion into
their whistled declarations of love or
stir their fellows to heroic deeds by
the fierceness with which they whistle
a call to arms.
A whistling language has been used
from time immemOrial by the Swiss
mountaineers, and Neapolitan sailors
converse frequently by means of whis-
ting. Convicts in the big jails in Ma
pies converse freely by means Of whis-
thing, and there is apparently no limit
to their whistling vocabulary.

LIQUID Fire In War.

Ltdufd rlro IN war.
Liquid fire as war weapon Is thus
described In an English journal:
In the earliest models the combus-
tible liquid was propelled by a gas
condenser out Of q portable or fixed
reservoir and was lighted by some au-
tomato device as 1t escaped from the
nozzle Of the projecting instrument.
Later a double barreled liquid gun
was devised. having the upper barrel
much smaller than the lower and piv-
oted so as to turn independently. The
fluid Is shot from the two barrels ST.

upper one ignites automatically.
This small. burning stream is so di
rected that 1t unites with the larger
nonburning one at any desired point
and then, Of course, ignites the larger
jet The small stream Is then shut of.

The flames do not spread backward
along the jet toward the nozzle. but
are carried forward to the target and,
striking the ground, form q veritable
sheet Of fire, which continues to ignite
the fluid as fast and as long as it falls.

head Of the philosophy department Of
the New York university. In q lecture
at the institution.
Professor Shaw argued that no wom-
an could be a friend to men or to
women, because a friend requires a
clear cut personality and a disinter-

he asserted, women lack. He also de-
clared that friendships between men
were passing from the earth.
woman cannot be friend because
she is never an individual, for to be
an individual one must stand alone"
he said. "Only those who stand alone
can come together"
Professor Shaw said that woman was
like a planet-weIl adapted to revolve
about some center, "but not organized
In such a way as to stand alene."
