/, Some inventor claims to have dis
covered a new kind of glass-trans-
parent, tough and strong, which has
all the advantages and none of the
defects of brittle, fragile window
glass, says Popular Science Monthly.
1t is alleged that a 22ca1ibre bullet
cannot penetrate it; a brick cannot
shatter it; a heavy nan thrown
against it under all the terrific no.
mentum of a collision would not go
Through it, but would be thrown back
from it, uninjured by flying glass, be
cause none would fly. A stone thrown
against it will bounce back like a
golf ball. The secret of it's strength
lis a sheet of white, transparent cellu-
loid, 21-1000 of an inch thick, which
is placed between the two pieces of
glass. The glass and celluloid are
simply welded together under high
temperature and tremendous pressure
the resultant product being q solid
sheet possessing all the transparency
of the best plate glass, combined with
the strength of a sheet of metal.
