MAGIC GLASS.
A Curious Mirror That May Be Made
Transparent.
Oue of the wost Curious inventions
of this age 1s what Is called platinized
glass, A plece of glass Is coated with
an exceedingly thin layer of a liquid
charged with platinum and then ralsed
to a red heat. The platinum becomes
united to the glass in such a way as
to form an odd kind of mirror.
The glass has not really lost its
transparency, and yet if one places it
agalust a wall and looks at it he sees
his Image ns in an ordinary looking
glass, But when light is allowed to
come through the glass from the other
side, ns when It Is placed in a window,
it appears perfectly transparent, ilke
ordinary glass.
By coustructing a window of plat
nized glass one could stand close be-
hind the panes In an unilluminated
room and behold clearly everything
going on outside, while passersby look-
Ing at the window would behold only
ft fine mirror or set of mirrors in which
their own figures would be reflected,
while the person inside remained in-
visible,
In France various tricks have been
contrived with the ald of this glass.
In one a person, seeing what appears
to be an ordinary mirror, approaches
it to gaze upon himself. A sudden
change In the mechanism sends light
through the glass from the back,
whereupon it instantly becomes trans
parent, and the startled spectator filuds
himself confronted by some grotesque
figure that had been hidden behind the
magle glass. New York Tribune.

The Diving Bell.
The celebrated philosopher Aristotle
speaks of a diving bell which was put
over the head of the diver, but there
fs no proof of the use of the bell In
ancient times. John Jaesnler, who
lived In the early part of the sixteenth
century, makes the earliest mention
of the practical use of the diving bell
in Europe. In all probability the first
real practical use of the diving bell
was in the attempt at rescuing the
treasures of the Spanish armada off
the English coast, 1500 and on.
