gleam and glitter of the tall silk hat which had almost disappeared from our streets. Now, however, it seems to have returned along with shiny patent leather boots, braided morning coats, and tightly rolled umbrellas, which are the sign manual of the typical English gentleman all the world over. There is also a marked increase in the num- bers of private automobiles being driv- en about London. Official cars and cars bearing the signs of the ministry of munitions or the R. A. M. C., are not so plentiful as they were month ago, and now the unfamiliar sight of motor broughams and automobiles of every size and shape and make stand ing outside shops and hotels. almost makes one feel that normal times have returned-until one studies the prices of such articles as fruits and flowers eggs (when you can get them) and vegetables. But I daresay all these things will settle themselves or be set tied sooner or later. It is well to view all such matters in philosophic spirit, for after all the guns have ceased in France and no longer do we in Eng land dread the moonlight nights that used to be fraught with horror in the air.
 Another sign of the times is to be found in many of the great houses be- longing to wealthy and distinguished people who during the war surrendered them for various good purposes and for the benefit of the nation. The Duchess of Devonshire. for instance, who has re- turned to England from Canada with her two daughters. will spend Christ mas at Chatsworth, but also will take advantage of being in England to set Devonshire house in order. This famous old home of the Dukes of Devonshire, which stands in it's own beautiful grounds facing the Green park and also the early days of the war been entirely given up to Red Cross work and organi- zation of the forces of the V. A. D.'s in other words, the Voluntary Aid depart ment.
 Devonshire house has been the scene of some of the most famous social func. tions of modern times. It is there that every year, previous to the war, the great dinner attended by royalty on the night of the derby, has always been given. During the reign of Queen Vic toria the Prince of Wales used to at tend as representing her majesty, but when he succeeded to the throne as King Edward the Seventh the great function was made even more brilliant by the inclusion of Queen Alexandra in the company. One wonders if when derby day comes around next year King George and Queen Mary will again honor with their presence the ducal mansion. Some superb dress balls have also taken place in Devonshire house, and I think it was at one of these superb festivities that both .big'' and little" Willie were among the royal guests. Devonshire house is very unpretentious as far as external appearances go. It is just big square, rather low, Georgian building of red brick, standing behind a high brick wall But internally it is wonderfully beautiful and stately. The marble en- trance hall with it's double flight of mar ble stairs with their crystal balustrades are noteworthy features.

section of the organization by pr. Da- vid T. Day of the geographical labora- tory of the Carnegie institution.
 The United States has not only a firm grip on the making of phosgene gas with which it was prepared to overyhelm the armies of the Kaiser, but on the manufacture of optical glass as well, which was formerly inn parted. All the 121 varieties of glass can. now be produced in this country with ease.
 pr. Day said that up to April. 1917. there was no suggestion of the proc- esses for making the optical glass which the government needed for range finders, gun sights, periscopes and measuring instruments. Fully 2O0o pounds a day were required, and at that time the bureau of standards In Washington was able to turn out only 250 pounds month of one kind of glass. Sixteen kinds were required and of these nine were absolutely essential. some 20 different pieces of glass are employed, and all must be highly trans parent since the constant splashing of water against the tube reduces visi- bility. Fully 120.000 pounds per month of American optical glass are now be- ing made in this country which is more than the instrument makers can grind
 The many difficulties in the lense manufacture, such as avoiding stria- tions, stones and stains have now been overcome as the mixing and dissolv- ing the materials have been perfected. To prevent the glass from crystallizing 1t has to be rapidly cooled and this oft en causes strains. Dr. Day said he had seen in Germany piece of glass as large as a cartwheei which, owing to improper cooling, suddenly exploded and injured workmen in remote parts of the plant.
 He asserted that in the United States better optical glass can now be made than was ever manufactured in Eu-

MAKE CLEAR GLASS
 FROM POISON GAS

New York, January 1S.-(Special) Eyeglasses and optical lenses of Amer ican mak1 are the clearer because the deadly phosgene of the trenches has now been turned into the peaceful pur- suit of bleaching the sand used in their manufacture.
 The gas offense division of the chem ical warfare service so greatly reduced the cost of EanufN'turing phosgene that it is now available for several industrial purposes to which 1t could not have been applied before the war. This gas, which is composed of chlorine, oxygen and carbon monoxide destroys the iron oxide which causes the red and browniSh tints of sand. It is so power ful a bleach that it whitened the bricks used in construction work at the Edgewood arsenal with which it came in contact.
 In bulletin issued yesterday by the American Chemical society the details were set forth as embodied in an ad- dress made before the Lehigh valley

By LADY MARY

London. January 4-(SpeciaL)-In the peaceful closing days of the war stained year just closed, it was still thrilling to receive 8 soldiers letter from what we used to call ''the front" I was rejoiced by receiving such missive recently from a young American officer who was one of my fellow travellers on board the good ship Saxonia when it formed one of a great convoy of American troops across the Atlantic in the early days of last June. This soldier boy writes to me from France early in December and says that now the censorship lid has been partly removed, I feel that I can write to you more freely"
 It is delightful after the awful days of past battles to receive a word of greet ing from one whom fate might have struck down, and so this letter with its cheery spirit was all the more welcome.
 ITO our adventure over here" my cor respondent says: 'I feel that I cannot do justice within the confines of let ter. After we parted six months ago at Tilbury dock, time seems to have flown and my acquaintance with England only amounted to about two days spent in 9 rest camp at Winchester; and then on to Southampton, from which port we at once embarked for Havre and then from thence entrained for field artillery training camp and school of fire near PenneS, where we stayed for two months. After completing a course there we went off to the front during the mid dle of last August. and, except for few days rest now and then, we have been either in the line or on the roads in reserve until that wonderful Novem- Der morning now more than three weeks ago.
 It is perhaps of interest to mention that this letter from which I am quoting is from a young officer in the 18th field artillery and that his home is in Kansas. He goes on to say:
 we were with the leading division in the big American offensive in the Ar gonne, the one that pushed off at break
