It was at once in demand for many purposes, and the same firm is now engaged in importing itin large quantities. The coating is placed on one side of the glass just the same as the silvering on the mirror and has the same properties of reflecting the rays of light and color, The difference however, is that when looked at from the back the Coating is entirely trans- parent. To one view without is not obstructed in the least, but a pedestrian, peering into the window or doorway is greeted by his own reflection. The glass is used largely in lieu of screens, where privacy is desired without obstruction of light from the outside or barring the vision of those inside. It was introduced with effect first in a New York club window. Behind it the chappies could sit and ogle the girls and view the passing throng without being themselves ob- served. Its use is also} restored to in cafes and semi-public places, where it offered privacy to those lcunging inside, while the latter had an _ undisturbed view of the street. He Got an Answer.

The trees are late budding this year, but the caterpillars are on time, there- fore it is the more important to destroy these ravenous creatures. When the leaves have a fair start a single large link will furnish food for a nest of caterpillars, but when they are eaten from the very bud the whole tree is 1+ able to be stripped and neighboring frees injured. Tie atorch with a wire’ to a pole and burn them out. A soft brick bat saturated with kerosese oil makes a good torch. Another and perhaps bet- ter plan is to nail an old tin pan or buck- et toa pole, put in live coals and feed the fire with chips. A second red is useful to rake the “worms” trom the top of the limb.
