New Use for Class.

By a new process glass is made to appear like wood with a very high polish. It is used in windows, and gives a peculiarly subdued and agreeable light. The glass is put through what might be called a veneering process, being coated w’ith a liquid that represents the wood which it is desired to imitate. The color, after drying, is varnished over and slightly heated. Sometimes shadings are applied to bring out the tint, then the glass is again varnished and thordried, and Is fit for use. Montana mines yielded $47,115,000 of minerals last year.
