DISHES UNBREAKABLE 
DINNER plates which your servants can idh^ drop upon 
the stone floor without breaking and dishes which make 
excellent hammers with which to drive nails are the discovery 
of LInited States Consul James C. McNally, at Liege, Belgium. 
Here is the story in his own words: — 
"The Company Du Val-St. Lambert, of Liege, is manu- 
facturing a hardened crystal dish, which in appearance closely 
resembles fine translucent china of uniform shape and manu- 
facture. The resisting power of this ware is clue to a special 
hardening process and to the qualit}^ and nature of the crystal 
used. It not only successfully resists the usual wear and tear 
l:iut is almost proof against breakage. 
" A hardened crystal dish can be substituted for a hammer 
in driving nails into wood, while the same ware can be put into 
boiling water at a high degree, then plimged into ice water 
repeatedly, without the least noticeable damage to the dish 
or plate. 
"The writer has seen plates of the usual form, of this 
hardened ware, hurled to the stone floor of a warehouse and go 
bounding along the whole length of the building without 
suft'ering the least damage. This same firm makes glassware 
of the same corresponding resistance." — .V. Y. Herald.
