LETTERS HAD FADED GLASS
Builder of House Had Amusing Proof
of Fact Which Is Not Gen.
orally Known.

An amusing incident is related in
the Scientific American to prove that
plate glass fades under exposure to
sunlight. The glass originally Is
slightly green and after some years Of
use becomes pure white. The Incl
dent is briefly as follows:
In making some changes in the front
Of haberdasher's store O five-fooE
piece of plate glass was removed and
taken away by the glazier In course
of time this sheet was installed in the
front window of a new residence
The family had scarcely moved 10
when they began to receive telephone
messages suggesting that the neigh
borhood was scarcely appropriate for
a shirt factory. They were mystilied
until they discovered that when tho
sunlight struck their window ut o
certain angle the words, "John Doe
Shirts Made to Order" shone out up
on the glass.
The explanation was that when the
glass formed the haberdaShers win
dow it had borne these words in white
| enameled letters, and the letters had
protected the underlying glass from
the rays of the sun, consequently II
had not faded as the rest Of the glass
had done.

100000 JEWS SERVE IN WAR
Or. Max Nordau Says Race Lost So
600 Dead In the Fighting
tiad 100000 Casualties.

London,-Dr. Max Nordau told the
English Zionist federation the other
day that in the world war the Jews
had furnished 100000 soldiers to the
various armies.
This, he said, was about Z per cent
Of the whole number Of Jews, d pro-
portion equaed by few and surpassed
only, he believes, by the French
rhe Jews had lost 10000 dead aud had
about 100000 casualties.
But what had the Jews fought for,
he asked. Even in the advanced and
highly civilized countries Of the West,
he continued, a huge wave CT anti
Semitism was yelling up; in the new
countries that had arisen in the East
the most criminal passions were let
loose against the Jews. In this dark
picture there was one bright spot, the
British declaration in favor of a Jew
iSh national home in Palestine.

Sir Daniel Morris stated at the last

ing work done by Biffen, at Cam
bridge, new wheats have been grown
over extensive areas in eastern Eng
land, yielding crops at the rate Of 90
TO go bushels per acre, AMI even a
bushels in the case of one area of u
acres. The average yield in England
Is 80 bushels per acre. Besides being
more productive, the new wheats are
less liable to disease and make better
-four than the ordinary English
wheats.. In India, the PuSa wheats,
developed by the Towards, will soon
he grown over an area of 100000
acres, and are expected TO increase
the value of the wheat crop in India
to the extent of $25,000O00 annually.
