A patent has been secured by another inventor for ghnsd bricks of a pecul iar pattern. The material of which they are composed being a first rate uon-coiidnctor, these luicks will keep the cold out of a dwelling built of thcci, while admitting the light. It is claimed ti;uy will ?N cludo noise, being hollow. Purther more. the inmates of a glus house nna not 1m afraid of being under i tnn eloe observation by neighbors, inasmuch that it is not requisite that t!ie bricks sliuji fO u"''i,u,u- They may be of opaque ground ghuu or of any color tnac may oe muntuic for decorative effect. Thus, before many years have passed, it may be considered the height of luxury tt) oixupy i dwell ing of glass. Glass brick, of course, are ei pensive. People wlio live in glass houses will be able to afford to wear clothes of glass. That sounds like nonsense, but the fact is that beautiful and most delicate fabrics are mude out pf spun glass. Nearly twenty years ago Ineij? was shown at the Centennial Exposition, iu J'hik, delphia, a bonnet composed entire ly of glass. It was a love of abonnet. The flowers on it were glass, and so were the ribbons, which looked like the finest satin. The patentee of this process describes f h gnjtublo for the manufacture of r.ecktics, shawls, table covers, etc. In fabrics of this kind a very line quality of glasj is used. It is spun in threads of ekoeedujg delicacy, and of these several colors may U produced at the saino time. They are woven in a loom of ordinary pat tern. Anybody may observe that a thiti sliest of glass is somewhat elastic. Thii ttniads employed in weaving are of suoli finoniisri as to be perfectly pliable and not at ah brittle. With a gown of glass would naturally go a pair of glass slippers. A Pittsburg man named 8mith has invented a process for making glas slipjiors in moulds. They would not do very wejl for dancing. There is no reisou why a glass gown should not bo woven of iridescent glass, so that the wearer would look like an animated rainbow on a ball room one dazzling 'shimmer of ever-changing hues. Until recently the ni.andfacture of iridescent glas3 was set down iu the list of the lost arts. But iu 187S it wus rediscov ered, and now it is a common com mercial article. It is made by ex posing the melted glass to the vapors of sal U of sodium. At the Metro politan Museum of Art, iu New York City, are exhibited great uiipj bers of bottles, plates and other ar ticles of glass which were made and used long before Christ was born. They were dug up in Cyprus and elsewhere Many of them have a beautiful iridescence, but it is the result of decay, (ilasd will rot like anything else, aud deuay has split the structure of this ancient glass into lamina?, or rlakcs, which inter rupt tne light so as to produce bril liant red, green, purple and other rainbow colors. The window blinds of the glass house of the future will be of glass of course. That is another patent and the inventor suggests that such blinds may bo made of whatever colors are desired. laby in the unr 9erv. TierhaD. will plav with 'dass building blocks and at a suitable age he will receive a Chritmad gift of a pair of roller skates with glass rollers. Both of these ideas have been patented. When he is old enough to go fishing, he will not dig worms in the garden, but will be provided with artificial bait in the shape of a hollow minnow of glass, .coated on the inside partly with a solution of gold or silver partly with a luminous paint. Glass bedsteads may be proof against lightning and bugs, but it is hardly to be expected that glass houses should be free from mice. The inmates could hardly do better than employ glass traps for the cap ture of such vermin- The great ad vantage of the glass mousetrap, ac cording to the statement of the inventor, is that '"if one mouse en ter the trap he may be seen by oth ers who chance to go that way, and they will be inclined to join the one inside especially when they observe that he is nibbingNa choice morsel." Up to date the glass mousetrap has not made itself popular, notwith standing the important arguments in its favor, and of most of the oth er devices described it is unfortuate ly true that they have "not proved profitable to the persons who con trived them. This remark, however, by no means applies to the glass lemon squeezer, which is already a familiar household utensil: The inventor of it is said to have sold his rights for oO.(m.h. One of the most remarkable inventions in glass by the way. was that of a Venetian named doquin, l'i."ij. He noticed that the scales of a tish called the bleak gave a milk v hue to the water aud that glass beads dipped into such water looked like pearls when Irv. Subsequently the idea was conceived of making hollow bead of glass and lining them with tin peculiar substance from the scales of tho fish, aud it is in this way that the so-called lloman pearls are now manufactured. It is to this sub stance that t he iridescence of the scales of many species of fishes is due. Scientific American. A New Trollj.

The lumber trade in North Caro lina is deserving of careful con sideration. It has been growing rapidly during the past two decades, and already serious inroads have been made on our forests supplies. Our timber trade is developing along much the same line as that in other Southern States, exempt that we are making larger uses of the loblolly and sjji pine, which is indeed : now known on the market as, North Carolina pine. For many years much of ojir tim ber has been shippeel out ef the State in the log to be manufactured elsewhere. In the northeastern counties many thousands of logs are annually shippeel to Norfolk and to other points to be put through the saw null and the planing mill, and in the western counties of the State, many thousands of hard wood logs are annually floated down the streams into Tennessee. This custom results in great loan to the State, and there appears to he no way to prev ent it except by encouraging the location of saw mills and planing mills, ami other manufacturing establishments within the boarders of tho State, and this should be done in every possible way. The value of the crude lumber produced iu tbe State during the .ast year, was about as follows: Valui.' ol luol, ilomestic ftnU l ir lininulHcturin nine ol suvv loi.s at mills V nine ut rotl in! timber, i-xii'l'U . .

HOW LONG WILI. Ol.'It F0RKST3 LAST? During the past few decades the great white pine forests of tlie North have been cut at an enormously rapid rate, and with a recklessness characteristic of the American lum berman. During the past few years the lumberman in eliffeient portions of the country have been turning their attention to Southern supplies of pine and hard woods; ami these are now being bought up and cut at a rapid rate; and before our people come to realize our situation; our supposeel inexhaustible forests will be largely removed. In the eastern etiunties, at the present rate of cut ting, in less than two decatles our supplies of piue will have been ex hausted, and the great hard wood forests of the Piedmont ami moun tain counties will in tlie same time have been cut, or purchased by the mill men and held by them as re serve supplies. The sooner, then, that our peo ple can be brought to abandon the long prevailing belief that thev have more timber than they know what to do with, and consequently are willing to almost give it away; and the sooner they can be brought to realize the fact that the valuable supplies of timber which they are now selling to the mill men at the low prices, cannot he replaced in their day and generation ; the sooner they come to understand that under our present system of cutting tim ber, they not only use up the sup ply belonging to the present gen- oration, but 111 destroying the young growth of the frosts they are les- ! roving the bil'th right of the next generation, wirnont any additional return to themselves, the sooner will it be possible to have adopted w ise and conservative policy whi Ie it perm i I s the 11 so which, j of the I mature 'iltnoer 0, I0d.1v, it a IsO pic grow t h. Serves the young lorest which is to be t he ber supply of tomorrow. Let us understand, then, that our present timber supply is not inex- lausuble; that 111 many places it lial already ueen nearly or unite re- moveei; that in cutting the mature trees with characteristic recklessness, we are also destroying in a large measure the young lorost growtn; that at the present rate of cutting. our forest supplies can last but a few decades longer; that in the use of our forests we should elo every thing possible to encourage the development within tho State of lumber manufacturing establish ments, in order that our lumber lumber may be man u fact u reel at home; and that in cutting our for ests every effort should be made to protect the young tree growth.
