Of
Comfort
In these days of semi-tropical heat, which
is tiresome alike to mind and body, the
uppermost thought in the mind of every
sensible person is, "How can I keep
cool and comfortable ?" Life without a
sense of comfort is hardly worth living,
and with this idea in mind we present to
our readers today, two of the most com
fortable suggestions we can think of as
an olfset to the two months' warm weath
er that still lies ahead of us.

The Alluring Dream of a Celebrated
Trench Savant Everybody Sure
to Live Some Day in a Glass
House.
I'roni the London Kpre.
Jules HcnrlvHiix, till lately the
director of the great glass manufactory
at St. Gobain, piedlcts that the new
age wil be tho age of glass. Mr. Henrl
vaux Is an enthusiast on glass. lie
believes It to lie the material of the
future. He does not pretend that we can
look for glass cannons, or glass men-o'-war,
or glass greyhounds of the
ocean, nor does he contemplate the
substitution of vitreous machinery for
that which we now employ in our
various processes of manufactuic, hut
ha does claim that the glass is the
best substance know u to us for every
kind of structural purpose; and es
pecially for dwelling houses. In short,
If tho visions of M, Heniivniix aie re
alized we shall all be living In g.'ass
houses before long.
Tho point of tho Idea Is found in the
iiicxlinustlblp supply of the matuil.ils
from which glass Is made. In its adapt
ability to nil shapes mid forms, its
durability, nnd Its cleanliness. With le
gard to tho second point It Is obvious
tli.it glass can be shaped, colored and
decorated to an extent of which no
other mateiial is capable, and It Is
upon this aspect of the Idea that M.
Uenilvnux lavishes his Imagination.
There are six ways In whhii glass
can bo manipulated. It cimi be cast
Into window-panes, paving stones, pnn
els, etc. It can be molded Into cornices,
slates, wnll-decoratlons and even stat
ues. It can be blown into bottles,
tumblers, vases and all the utensils
comprised under the name of "glass
ware." It can bo blown and giound
Into crystals, lenses, prisms nnd other
object of art and utility. It can be
drawn Into the fluent threads and made
Into pipes, baskets and dress materials.
It can be turned Into mosaics and en
amels, and can be brought Into the
closest Imitation of mnu of the
precious stones.
Imagine with M. Heniivaux, the con
struction of a ginss house. Tho founda
tions and tho walls would be construct
ed of a variety of glass, recently in
vented, called "stone class," which
has already successfully withstood the
severest tests. When crushed It given
a icslstanco three times as great as
granite. When subjected to heai or
cold It Is found to be less sensitive
than steel. When submitted to friction
It shows less wear than porphyry,
Shock, ns of a hammer blow. It re
sists to a degree twenty-two times ns
severe us that which would fractuio
marble. The test of tension has prac
tically no effect on It whatever.
The walls, then would he built of
glass held together by angle Iron so ns
to permit of a hollow space through
which pipes could pass tthe pipes them
selves being glasswork), conveying hot
air, hot nnd coldi wnter, gas, electric
wires, drains, nnd everything needed
for the health nnd comfort of the In-
habitants. Stairs und balustrades,
ceilings and wall decorations, mantel
pieces und fireplaces, would all ho
constructed of glass. Some of M. Hen
rlvaux'H conceptions in tho way ot
decorations, in which tho glass if
made opaque or tinted with brilliant
colors, or made silver and golden, or
arranged In prisms and crystals with
facets like diamonds, aie perhaps too
fanciful to be taken seriously, but
through them all there runs the samo
enthusiasm, the same belief that glass,
as Thiers once said to Louis Napoleon,
Is capable of anything.
Our chairs and tables, In the new
glass age, will bo mado of vitrified
material, toughened to the strength of
oak and mahogany. Our cooking uten
sils, our plates nnd cups and saucers
will bo mado of the samo substance.
Uven our knives nnd forks will havo
grass handles. If not glass blades.
The new glass house will be abso
lutely dean and practically Indestruct
ible. Tho whole of Its surface can bo
washed from the top story to tho base
ment without a trace of humidity be
ing left. Dust cannot collect on ita
polished face, and the spider wiH find
no place on which to hang Its cob
webs. i'hey have already begun to pave thq
streets of Paris with glass, and it la
found that the suhotnncc, while practi
cally indestructible, Is admirably suit
ed to tho feet of both men and hcastf;
and as It neither holds or makes any
dlri. il Is absurdly easy to clean. Its
only fault is that It somewhat Increases
the noise of the traffic, but even this
might, by and by, lie overcome.
One of the fee lures of last yearss
exhibition was tho Palais l.umlncux,
or tho Palace of Light, built entirely
of glass, it was to some extent the re
alization of M. Henrlvaux's Ideal. Not
only was It of solid construction, but
Hie adaptlblllly ot glass to every class
of decoration In form and In color, aid
ed by its various degrees of opaqueness
and transput eney, enabled Us builders
to raise a structure which as far tran
scended our own Ciystal Palace us a
diamond outshines the imitation.
The question of cost has not been left
out of account. Glass can be made out
of almost anything nmcniible to tho
Influence of fire. The stone-glass, to
which reference has already been made,
Is manufactured mainly from what
have hitherto been toga riled as wasto
substances. The slag heaps which dis
figure our mining and Iron districts aro
all convertible into glass. K Idcntly
the days of btlck nnd slates aie num
bered. Perhaps it might be possible, In con
nection with one of the many projected
exhibitions, to construct on a modest
but siililclcnt scale a dwelling of tho
kind that -M. Heniivaux describes
People would then be able to expeiienco
the actual sensation of walking along
glass floors, or climbing a glass stair
case, of being surrounded by glass;
walls, of sitting on glass chairs at
glass tallies, drinking tea out of glasa
cups and stirring It with glass teaspoon.-.
How far this could be accomplished
with dm.- avoidance of monotony it is
hard to say. Certainly M. Honrivaus
Ih enthusiastic enough to believe In th
fulle.it development of his idtu.
