THE GLASS PROBLEM. 



The gloiis niamifactiirors of the U. S. 

 are constnnt'.y on the alert for a satiB- 

 factory eiib£>tltutc for potash, the most 

 important single innrediont is the 

 inaklnK of >;lass. Various chemical 

 propertlei" have been experimented 

 with, and wliile snuie degree of snc- 

 cess has been attained the tendency to 

 turn yellow alter a short time is very 

 marked in all glais made in this fash- 

 ion. It is of the utmost importance 

 to the florist trade that some suitable 

 material be found as a substitute for 

 the potash that is now so scarce and 

 valuable. A dollar a pound is no small 

 item to be paying out, and the coun- 

 try is looking to Us chemists for relief.
