GLASS FOE WINDOWS
THE METHOD AND THE MATERIALS
OF ITS MANUFACTURE.
Enough Arsenic I-n the Windows of
an Ordinary House to Kill a Regiment
of Men?Process of the Tankhouse
and the Pothouse.
People who have glass windows in
their homes do not know that the glass
contai "S enough arsenic to make it a
deadly poison. Glassmakers say that
the windows of an ordinary home contain
enough of this poison to kill a regiment
of men. The popular supposition
that glass is made of sand is a correct
one, but a quantity of other articles enters
into its composition.
Winrirm- <?lnss factories are divided
into two departments, a tankhouse and
a potliouse. The process of glassmaking
in one of these departments is practically
the same as in the other. In the
tankhouse the glass is all melted in immense
tanks which will hold thousands
of tons. In the pothouse the
glass is made in pots.
After the fires are lighted and a tank
is heated the glass mixture is shoveled
in. It includes glass reft over from the
former season, glass refuse, sand and
salt cake. Arsenic is not used in the
tankhouse for the reason that the heat
is so intense that the drug is volatilized
and escapes into the air without entering
the mixture. As one mixture melts
and flows to one end of a tank fresh
supplies are shoveled in at the other
end.
The molten mass seethes and
"works" in a manner similar to that of
a mash in a distillery. From the salt
cake comes a salt water that has to be
separated from the mass, and the easiest
way to remove it is to burn it out.
Thic i? rtmiP hv throwing stove wood
into the tank on top of the molten
glass. The water is converted into
steam, which is destroyed by the intense
heat from the glass. The melted
glass is then skimmed by an automatic
skimmer, and it is ready for the gatli.
erer.
A gatherer thrusts a long steel blowpipe
into one of the rings at the lower
end of the tank. He twists aDd turns
it until a small ball of glass gathers 011
the end. This ball is partially cooled,
polished by being turned in a box of
sawdust and then passed on to the
blower, who heats it again until it becomes
like taffy. The blower swings
the ball over a pit that is twelve feet
deep and rapidly blows it into an elongated
pear shape. When a blower is
through, the melted glass becomes a
perfect cylinder about 5 feet long and
2 feet across. It then passes to a "snapper,"
who takes it to a rack and breaks
the roller loose from the blowpipe.
The snapper gathers a small lump
of melted glass on the end of a rod
and dexterously ruus a narrow ribbon

roller, both at the blowpipe end and
the closed end. The little ribbons of
melted glass cool in a few seconds,
- when they are removed, leaving a narrow
zone of almost redhot glass
around the rollers at each end. Then,
taking a tool that resembles a soldering
iron, the snapper rubs it for a moment
on his forehead, and when the point of
it is moistened with perspiration he
runs the iron around the rollers at the
heated spot. The glass cracks and
separates as cleanly as if cut with a
diamond, the blowpipe is removed, and
the closed cylinder has become a roller
and is then ready to go to the flatten
or.
The flattener works in another part
of the building, where are located the
flattening ovens. These ovens are heated
to a temperature sufficient to soften
the glass so that it may be rolled out
into sheets. A series of fireclay tables
placed in a circle like the spokes of a
wheel revolve in the ovens, and on
these tables the rollers are flattened.

posed of hydrochloric and sulphuric
acids more or less diluted. After their
immersion in this bath the sheets are
taken to the cutting room, where workmen
cut them into sizes and make
them ready for the packers. Hardly a
scrap of the glass except the rough
edges is wasted. In fact, none is wasted,
as all refuse goes back to be melted.
After the cutters have finished
their work the glass is packed in boxes
and is then ready for the market?Indianapolis

GETTING AWAY FROM HOME I
The Spirit of Restlessness and the '
Desire For Change.
Judging by a good deal of the eon.
versation of the present day. there are
a large number of people who have a
positive horror of home. This curious
revulsion of feeling is taken by many
persons as a sign of social deterioration.
For our own part we find it difiicult
to take it quite seriously or to see j
in it anything more than a passing [
whim.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony, j
Change is what people desire?not per- |
haps any great change, but lots of j
small change; not necessarily for the !
better, but for its own sake. Now,
there is a great sameness about one's
-?' ?
own four wans, oe mey evex uanu- :
some. We all feel at times an overpow- j
ering desire to look at something else, j
We cannot change the patterns or the !
pictures on them every day, and neither j
they nor the home furniture ever seems
to alter in expression.
Again, there is a terrible sameness
about one's own cook. Experience enables
us to foretell the taste of every- j
thing at home, from the soup to the sa- |
vory if we are rich and from the mut- j
ton to the cheese if we are poor; j
whereas if we dine at a restaurant i
everything down to the salt is differ- ;
ent, and the restaurant is refurnished j
daily with new faces.
Then, again, the music and stir going j
on around one avoid the necessity for
much conversation, and conversation j
in the home circle is sometimes difficult
and sometimes dull. It does not do
always just to say what one thinks, it
is such bad practice for dining out,
and, this hemg tne case, it is noi easj i
sometimes to think what to say.
Nowadays we get, socially speaking, !
tired of our friends and even of our ac- i
quaintances. We want them to pass j
continually before us like a street pro- I
cession. Instead of that they rather j
resemble a stage crowd and keep com- i
ing up again. There is a limit to those
we know, a limit even' to those we
should like or should be likely to know
even by sight, and at a restaurant this
latter limit is disregarded. The barrier
of good manners which forbids that
those who are acquainted with one another
should.speak is sufficient to protect
our station or our dignity, but it i
is not a very high fence, and it is one j
which it is amusing to look over.?Lon- j

The Boy and the Farm.
How often we hear parents discourage
the boys who wish to stay on the
farm! They refer to farm work as j
come hot, and then a cold iron is run
along the inside from end to end. The
contact of the iron cuts the glass,
"which Is then straightened out upon
the table.
The flattener has a number of billets
of green wood attached to long iron
handles, and with these billets, which
are shaped in such a manner as to do
the work expected of them, he "irons''
the softened sheet of glass until it is
perfectly flat and smooth. The tables
inside the oven revolve, the flattened
sheet is carried away, and another roller
is brought into position before the
flattener. As the flattened sheets cool
they are lifted to a place on a long
traveling rack, on which they are by
stages removed from the ovens, being
allowed to cool as they go. This is done
in order that the glass may not be
shattered by too quick an exposure to
the air.
When the sheets are taken from the
flattening ovens, they are covered with
a greasy, dirty looking coat of chem
icals?soda, potasb, silicates of the different
salts, etc.?which must be removed,
and for this purpose the rough
sheets are nlaeed in an acid bath com

education such as can be gained in our i
schools of agriculture, would become, i
wealthy, progressive farmers, with fine !
farms and beautiful homes, if they had
been encouraged and advised to stay
by the old farm and make it a success.

to turn his back. Tommy saw
his chance. He pulled the thermometer
out of his mouth and popped it into a
cup of hot tea, replacing it at the first

trutlifuily write out his own particular
method and if all these various expositions
of ways and means could be
gathered together and printed in a
book, it would be an exceedingly interesting
and readable, perhaps an instructive
and surprising, volume.
How Judge De Armond Get In.
Take the ease, for instance, of Judge
David A. De Armond of Missouri. He
j was now entered upon his sixth eonsecj
utivc term and appears to have a long
lease on his seat. lie has come to like
congressional life, yet originally he did
not hanker after the position he now
holds. His tastes lay in the judicial
line. He was a circuit judge aud commissioner
of the supreme court, which
i was a sort of brevet supreme judge|
ship. He' aspired to be a real, full
fledged supreme judge. In 1SSS Judge
De Armond. Judge James B. Gant and
the then Congressman William Joel
Stone, since governor and national
committeeman, all lived in the same
district. That year De Armond ran for
supreme judge, and Gant tackled Stone
! for the congressional nomination. Man
proposes, but God disposes. Gant was
defeated for congress and De Armond
for the supreme judgeship. In 1S90
either by accident or design Gant and
De Armond swapped horses, so to speak
?that is, Gant was a candidate for supreme
judge and De Armond for congress.
Both won. Not long since I
asked De Armond, "If you could turn
the clock back to 1S90 and were offered
20 years on the supreme bench of
Missouri or 20 in congress, which
would you take?" After some study
he replied, "With the feelings I then
had 1 would select the supreme judgeship;
with those I entertain now, the
congressional career."
How Genera! Clark Went to Congress.
The congressional career of young
General John B. Clark of Missouri illustrates
the truth of the ancient adage,
"Better be born lucky than rich." In
1SG5 he was a Confederate brigadier.
In 1S(JS and 1870 he was elected sheriff
and collector of Howard county, Mo.,
a good fat office in those days. In
1S72, while still holding that position
or those positions, liis father, the brilliant
and renowned "Old General John

the congressional nomination. The fight
was fast and furious. A prolonged
deadlock ensued. Young General John
B. was at home discharging his duties
as sheriff and collector with no more
idea of going to congress than any
reader of this has of ascending the
throne of Russia. Somebody suggested
him as a "compromise candidate/'
He was acceptable to all, was nominated
in a jiffy, was elected and served ten
years as a representative and six as
clerk of the house.
General Garfield's Political Start.
James A. Garfield was first elected
to congress while he was serving as a
major general in the army in 1SG2,
partly because of his personal promiI
nerce and partly because the old Josh!

ccl out tlieir chief at the election of
1SG0, and the}* took up General Garfield
as the most availab nan in
sight whom they could us? .or purposes
of revenge. Thus he entered
upon that long and brilliant congressional
career which lauded him in the
White House and filled the world with
his acclaim.
His first entrance into political life,
however, was purely accidental. In
ISoO he was president of Hiram college.
then a small institution, now a
large one, and on Sundays preached in
the neighboring churches. lie seemed
fated to spend his life in the pulpit
and the classroom, but "there's a destiny
that shapes our ends." It so happened
that there was a vacancy in the
state senatorship from that district.
Young Garfield attended the Republican
senatorial convention as a delegate.
A deadlock ensued. One day in preparing
to go to dinner another delegate
by accident got hold of Garfield's hat
and clapped it on his own head. It
! was so big that it slipped over liis cars
! and rested on his shoulders. The astonished
delegate shouted gleefully:
"Eureka! I have found the man for
state senator! Any man who has as
large a head as Garliehl carries around
Is lit to be state senator!" The other
delegates agreed with him, and that
afternoon Garliehl was nominated in
j a jiffy.
; A Valuable Proofreader.
Many men know many things in a
dim. hazy sort of way. Few know anyj
thing accurately. I had this imprinted
j on my mind during the short session of
the Fifty-sixth congress. In the heat
of debate on the river and harbor bill
I undertook to make a quotation from
the liible and said, "It is written in a
at.
very old book. 'lie who caroth not for
his own household is worse than a heathen.'
" When I had concluded my remarks,
my friend John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi, one of the finest scholars
and most brilliant men in the
house, having graduated at or from
the universities of Virginia and Heidelberg.
came along and said. "Champ,
you got your Scriptural quotation
wrong." I asked him to write it out
for me, which he did. as follows: "lie
that provideth not lor those of his own
household is worse than an inlidel."
Supposing that he knew what he was
talking about, when the reporters gave
me the notes of my speech for revision,
having 110 I?ible at hand to verify ihc
quotation, I wrote it in as Williams
had it. Next morning when The Record
appeared I was greatly surprised
to discover that he did not know much
more about it than I did and that we
each had made a bad stagger at quoting
the book of books, for the Argus
eyed proofreader had changed it so as
to read, "If any provide not for his
own and especially for those of his
own house, he hath denied the faith
and is worse than an infidel."
Hepburn's inflammable Condition.
Colonel William Teters Hepburn of
Iowa in debate is "savage as a meat
ax." In private he is amiable and likes
to borrow the words of sweet Robbie
Burns, "a rousing wliid at times to
vend."
In the Fifty-sixth congress, when
one of Loud's postoffice bills was
"dragging its weary length along," Mr.
Gardner of New Jersey, Colonel Hopburn
and myself fell into conversation.
Gardner claimed me as one of his constituents
because my father was born
in his district, county and township.
Hepburn said he thought I was a. native
Missourian. I replied: "No. I
was born in Kentucky and was never
out of that state or saw a mosquito or
a steamboat until I was 22." The word
mosquito stirred bis memory, and he
said: "When I was in the army in
August, 1SG3, I was detained for a
week in a Mississippi river bottom
down in Arkansas. The mosquitoes
nearly ate us up. I rubbed coal oil
r,n mvsplf a nreventive till 1 was
so thoroughly saturated with it that I
was afraid to blush for fear of taking
fire!"
Pleasantries cf Debate.
It may appear strange, but it is nevertheless
true, that members who are
personally friendly take more liberties
with each other in debate than do
these who are unfriendly.
When the river and harbor bill of the
Fifty-sixth congress was under discussion.
Mr. Hepburn propounded the
theory that boating on the Missouri
river had dwindled to the vanishing
point by reason of what be denominated
the great and unusual "slope" of
that stream. To that theory I responded
as follows:
"Does the gentleman from Iowa
(Cc^mel Hepburn) believe that there
has been any notable change in the
conformation of the earth's crust in
that part of the continent within the
last 50 years? Is the source of the
Missouri river any farther above the
level of the Mississippi now than it
was when Robert Fulton invented the
steamboat? Have the mountains of
Montana lifted their lofty heads any
nearer to heaven or has the bed of the
Father of Waters sunk any closer to
the center of the earth within his recollection
or even within human memory?
Does he think that the 'slope'
of that river is any greater now than
when steamboating was in its palmy
days and when hundreds of thousands
of passengers and countless tons of
freight went up and down from St.
Louis to Fort Benton in those gorgeous
'floating palaces' which were the pride
and glory of the western country?
"Does he believe that the Missouri
river 'slopes' both ways? While I
listened to his annual speech?pleasant
because an old acquaintance, familiar
to the ears as household words by reason
of its frequent iteration?I concluded
that lie must harbor that wild
hallucination; otherwise his theory of
'slopes' sinks into repulsive nothingness,
as Rider Haggard's 'She,' for it
stands to reason and to nature that if
the 'slope' of the Missouri river forbids
boating up stream it expedites it down
stream, ex necessitate, and in that way
exactly evens up the whole thing.
"The learned gentleman's theory as
to 'slopes' is about on a par with Mark
Twain's mathematical demonstration
that if the Mississippi river continues
to shorten Itself for a given number of
years at the rate it has been proceeding
on that line for the last 130 years

sissippi river will stick out several hundred
miles over the gulf of Mexico."
Hepburn came back at me in this
pleasant fashion:
"Mr. Chairman, I venture a suggestion
or two to the gentleman from Missouri
(Mr. Clark) with a great deal of
diffidence. I see that he has studied
the question of navigation and hydraulics
and understands it thoroughly. lie
has overcome a difficulty that engineers
have never yet been able to over- j
come to their satisfaction, lie has <1 is- '
covered that the slope of a river and
the extraordinary currents that may
result from an excessive slope do not
interfere with navigation, because,
while it may be difficult to get up, yet
you can slide down so much easier that
the thing is balanced.
"As boys we used to think there was
a great deal of delight in sliding down
hill. We would even draw a sled back
for the pleasure of the swift motion
downward. Hut that plan has never
yet been adapted by men to transportation.
as I understand. According to the
gentleman's theory, Niagara falls tire
not an impediment to the navigation of
the Niagara river. It might be very difticult
to get up. but you would come
down so fast that the thing would be
equalized." CHAMP CLAKIv.
