After several years' investigation, Jusel Bugiy. a scientist of the Industrial Exper imental Station of Osaka, is report ed to have Invented a black glass of a special kind which is expected to prove of great military value. It Is said theOilack glass Is opaque to all but ultra-violet rays and, by its nse, battle formations or the movements of an enemy can be easily photographed in darkness without detection. Moving pic tures, It is claimed, can also be taken In the dark by the use of the black glass. Experiments with the new glass made recently In the presence of Rear Admiral Muto are said to have proved a complete success. The inventor declares the black glass will not only be Important for military purposes, but that it will be found valuable In medical treat ment ' Cook with i CANADA XETH IMO RETI RE FROM THE AM EH If AX TOL'RIHTS.

Upson, former international balloon champion and now chief engineer of tho Aircraft Development Corpora tion told government officials they were nrenared to build a dirigible 0r s new typo. Mr. Up son outlined three lessons which he said should bo learned from the story of tho Shenandoah. The next dirigible, he said, should bo covered with thin light metal lnatead of fabric, should have much greater diameter oomparad to Its length, and should have Its control car fastened more securely to the frame. "The Shenandoah's loss of life waa not largo relative to the to tal number on board, and too fatalities would have been almost eliminated bad the control oar been more rigidly attached to tho hull, said Upson. "The fact that the airship broke in two la an equally direct result of lis excessive slenderness. It used to be thought that a long pencil shape was necessary for speed, but recent studies and ex periments show conclusively that air resistance can be reduced with more compact shapes. The most Improved hull shape has only one-third the Shenandoah's length, compared to it diameter. Experiments also show that it la possible to make an airship com pletely stxtble. "Improvements In stability alone would greatly reduce the require ments for safety-valve capacity, although there hi no good reason for not having plenty of safety valves. Another Important re quirement is to allow plenty of pressure rang from valvo opera tion. Tho Shenandoah could staad safely pressure of only 10 millimeters of water or about ons-ons-thousandth of an atmos phere. Air ships can now bo built to stand many times that pres sure. "Perhaps the greatest disad vantage of the Sbenandoah was Its fabric cover easily torn, ia- flamable. loose and flapping when dry. straining the framework wben wet. soaking up thousands of nound of water, and soon worn out. Before long, this 'kite construction', will be a thing or the oast, replaced by metal ciaa airships, with rigid metal cover- in . "Tho faults of the Shenandoah are no discredit to the men who designed and ibullt her. They took the best that was available at the time." Cook with gas. (AmwUIM rna lasl Win.) SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.

HOME OFFICE WORRIES IlNDON', Oct. 6. (A. P.) John Bull, like Uncle Sam, Is meeting with difficulties In trying to regu late personal habits by legislation. It Is not so much drink over b're as smoking that Is causing the Home Office worry. There Is a law that compels to bacco shops to close every even lng at eight. It was enacted (lur ing the war to. save fuel, light etc., and release a certain amount of labor for employment more es sential to the winning of the war than selling cigarettes and cigars. The law la still In force and there are no Indications that It will be rerxus'ed. But It la being evaded. Many to bacco shops, upon closing tlielr doors at night, leave outside a slot machine which deliver cigarettes to anyone who puta In sixpence or a shilling. There are even penny machines that deliver a couple of "gaspers" to those who Insert a huge British copper. The machine doesn't distinguish between a Utile boy's coin ami one put In by a grown man. And that Is what la worrying the Home Of fice. Children who wouldn't be allowed to purchase cigarettes In ahops are procuring them from the machines. At the moment there Is plenty of labor available for even such unes sential Industries as selling cigar ettes.
