Old Roman Windows,

The houses Of rich people in ancient
Rome, in the days Of the Caesars, had
window panes Of glass set in frames
Of bronze. They were uneven and full
Of defects, so that the view Of things
outside, from inside, must have been
rather unsatisfactory. But at that
time they were doubtless regarded as
the height of luxury Such panes were
not blown, but cast on stone. When
used for public buildings they were set
In pierced slabs of marble.

Mirrors in History.

During the middle ages, from the
twelfth to the end Of the fifteenth
century, rocket mirrors or small hand
mirrors carried at the girdle were con-
sidered a necessary part Of lady's
toilet. The method of backing glass
with metal for mirrors was well known
In the middle ages, though steel and
silver mirrors were almost exclusively
used. 1t was in Venice that the max
ing of glass mirrors on a commercial
scale was first developed.

RECORD IN MINERAL OUTPUT
Production of United States in 1915
Was Valued at $3,470, 900, 0oo-ln-
crease as Per Cent in Year.

The total value of the mineral pro-
duction Of the country in 1916 was
more than $3,470,000,000, increasing
81, orc, 100000, or As per cent, over the
$2,393 100000 recorded for 1915 ana
exceeding the former record year
(1913) by more than $1,000, 100000, ac-
cording to preliminary figures compiled
by Uncle Sans geological survey.
Practically all the minerals shared In
this increase, gold being the only one
of the more important products that
showed decrease in value, though
silver and anthracite showed decreases
in quantity but increases in value.
The metals established new record
in 1916, exceeding for the first time
81 ,000,000,00O and approximately to-
tai of 81, 622 100000. Pig iron and cop
per contributed more than IS per cent
Of the total increase of $685. OO,OOU,
but large gains were made in zinc,
lead, aluminium. ferroalloys, and tung'
stem ores. AS compared with the hg-
ures for 1915, the metallic products
increased 63 per cent.
The total value Of the nonmetall1c
products increased nearly $27SOOO,Oo0
over the value for 1913, the year OF
next highest output, the figures for
1916 being 81 ,S33, 100000 as compared
with $1,555, 100000 for 1913. AS COM
pared with 1915, this is an increase OF
$44O,O00,O00, or 80 per cent. Coal ana
petroleum contributed 76 per cent OF
the increase shown in the nonmetallic
products.
The final figures for both metals and
nonmetals may be somewhat increased
over these preliminary figures.

From the water color by Stanley James Rowland

The use Of armor dates back to the
ninth century B. G. and became more
elaborate and complex until the intro
duction of gunpowder. The helmet was
the first body protection TO appear and
was followed by the cuirass-the latter
being used by the Greeks and Romans
and reappeared at the time of Charlie
magne in the form Of waistcoat made
of overlapping metal scales and of
rather imperfect execution.
In the eleventh century, according TO
the BayeauX tapestries as we'll as the
seal of Richard Cnur dc Lion, we find
the coat Of mail assuming first the
shape Of a redngote and later that
of bathing suit, completed by he'll
met concal at the nose. This, together
with the use OF leather plates on the
feet and hands, constituted the equip
ment of a Norman warrior.
A study Of the sculptures of the.
rheims Cathedral and the evangclla-
rum Of ST. Louis (National Library
points to the development, in the
twelfth century, Of a perfected coat Of
mail a metal combination united with
the helmet by ssc-montagnc Of
steel links; the whole, constituting Il
hauberk, protected the warrior VIII,
the haube-a cylindrical helmet made
Of pieces Of forged metal adjusted by
rivets and pierced by two pcepholcs.
AT the beginning Of the fourteenth
century the desire to protect the joints
caused the placing of metal plates at
shoulder and knee. The haube disap-
peared and was replaced by a helmet
OF type called Bassinct, with NOV
able visor pierced by holes to permit
sight and ventilation. By the middle
OF the fourteenth century chain armor
had disappeared to a considerable de-
gree, and plate armor was taking its
place, the plates at the joints being ex-
tended to the intcrarticular portions
IN such way as to inclosc the limbs
IN metal greaves; the hands were pro
tectcd by an articulated gauntlet and
the foot by an iron shoe or sollcret.
The body was still covered by short
ened coat about the length Of waist
coat-called the haubergeon and the
whole outfit was known as a "harness."

let, prolonged over the abdomen bv =

Sin use at the time, and little by little
the use Of such defence disappeared,
the tendency being to substitute fabric
for metal protection. This gave birth
to the epaulet. horse-tail plume, the
shake and the bearskin cap. with
modern wars, new device sprang up
namely, individual protection by means
of the invisi bility of units and scat
tered formations. From this originated
he idea of the service uniform
such methods of individual defence
were quite satisfactory for combat at
great distances; but in stationary
lighting or in trench warfare II is
quite another matter, and once again
the question of individual armor has
arisen. and already we see its use

The Russian infantry tried out large
steel shields mounted on two wheels,

rough ground and yet provide protec

This question Of weight and there

man on foot--the man who makes a
charge-reverts to the time of Louis
XIV of France, when the use of defen-
sive protection had practically disap-

revive the steel helmet. Indeed, the
development of armor from the time
Of side arms until the use of firearms

They were flung by men who were too
lazy to carry them away to proper

in the firing line, and he knew that the
