RURBER GLASS.

MalleabIe glass, which would be tough
but not brittle. and could be easily
shaped or welded in any form, has long
been a dream of glass-makers. There
have been many rumors Of it, but appar-
emily nobody has yet discovered the Sc
cret of making it. Possibly nobody ever
will. But here comes a substitute which
may serve the same purpose.
An Englishman named Fordyce Jones.
a rubber expert now in this country, is
credited with the invention of rubber
glass" and process whereby the rubber
may be wet-molded and either be made
Transparent or given any desired color
by the use of anime dye. Samples ex-
hibited i'll London are said to have
aroused more interest than any other
discovery of recent times.
The possibilities of such a material. il
it has the qualities ascribed to it, are
vast. Presumably this rubber glass may
be made either soft or hard, like ordinary
rubber If so, it will probably replace
cur present rubber, glass and celluloid
for almost innumerable purposes. 1t
should be- for numerous uses, more dur
able than either glass or celluloid. One
Of it's adaptations is said to be that of
a virtually everlasting varnish for wood
or paper 1t may be an interesting men,
tai exercise to figure out other uses.

TWO DEEP WATERWAYS.

y bin has been introduced in congress
by Representative Reed of New York.
calling for the construction of an oceanic
ship canal between Lake Erie and the
Hudson river. largely along the route of
the present state barge canal He and
other proponents of this route maintain
that it would cost the government moth
ing. in the long run. because the expense
could be repaid by the sale of hydro
electric power developed along the route,
without the charging of tolls.
This is obviously an effort on the part
of New York to substitute a deep water
way of its own for the proposed Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway. 1t is a
natural enough desire. and there is no
reason for believing that the expense of
he New York project could not be met
n the manner suggested
1t does not seem likely that congress
will be persuaded to abandon the st,
Lawrence project, because that route has
been preferred by the experts of the in
-ernational commission. and because the
possibilities of profitable waterpower de-
velopment in that project are considered
still greater.
At the same time it is not evident
hat either of these projects need sup
plant the other. If either could be con
structed without costing anything, why
not build both, and let the deep-sea traffic
take whatever course it likes?
