BACHELORS INDANGER THERE
Fair Sex Greatly In the Majority In
Washington and This Is
Lena Year.
"Sixteen thousand more women than men
in Washington, anil leap year right at
hand:" exclaimed the Washington bachelor
to a party of friends. "It's me to Goldlield
or the Isthmus or some other place where
the girl of sweet 16 and some more does
not exist in such numbers that she Ib per- I
nutted or roniixikil to exercise her pre-
rogatlve every fourth year of proposing to
a cuap.
"The bachelor Is right." remarked the
student. "Leap year starts January 1, and
for the following days woman has the
prillege of ixippiug the ipiestlon.
"Most of you fellows." continued the
student, "know that It was Noma I'om
pllius, in 4 H. C. who added a day to
the twenty-eight of February. When lie
extended the ytar to twelve months, he
added January and February. He first ar
ranged to give February twenty-nine days,
savu In leap jtars. when it was to have
thirty days. But Augustus added a thiily
flist day to August, and one day was
taken from February, reducing It to
twenty-eight In ordinary y. ars. When the
solar year was fixed m iib da. 3 and .x
hours, the six hours were set asido, and
at the end of four years they formed one
day, the fourth year having i days, ex
cept when the numbers of the century
could not be divided by 0.
"The origin of allowing a woman to
propose during leap year Is attributed to
Scotland, I belleva," continued the stu
dent. "In It the Scottish Parliament
passed a law making It obligatory on a
man to accept the preferred hand of
woman during leap year under penalty cf
a fine of .vx or lees, according to his
financial slandlng. And he had to pay
the fine, too, unless he could show that
he had proposed during the past year, or
that some other maiden hsd ecn . him
first."
"I wonder what time the first train for
Goldfleld starts?" asked the bachelor.
"Of course, you men are aware," said
the student, paying no attention to the
anxious query of the bachelor, "that the
gentler sex, besides having the right to
pop the question, can make you pay for a
new dress In leap year. If, after January
1 you see any of your girl friends coming
down the avenue wearing red skirts, steer
clear of them."
"Why?" said the bachelor.
"Because, when a woman wears a red
skirt in leap year, and wearing such ap
parel, proposes to you, and you refuse,
she can compel you, according to custom,
to pay for a r.ew dress. This, I under
stand, is In accordance with an ..tclent
blue law that has never been repealed."
"Well. I am right glad you told me of
that," exclaimed the bachelor. "Picture
this army of lti.OUO women, witli the privi

SECOND-HAND PLATE GLASS
Many t'sea Found for Old or Broken
Plates by Mra Who Make It
a Baslaeaa.
Among the Innumerable things that may
thus be bought second-hand ts window
glass. What with the demolition of old
buldings and the breaking of windows,
old and new. there come Into the market
large quantities of second-hand glass; but
for all this there Is a demand, for one pur
pose or another, down to the last scrap.
When a dealer In second-hand building
materials buys a building to wreck for the
materials contained In It he Is not likely,
If this building should contain In plate glass
front, to take that out himself. Dealing In
second-hand plate, or, as It Is called, sal
vage glass, constitutes a business by Itself
In New York now.
80 when the house wrecker has a plate
glass front to sell he sends to a dealer In
salvage glass, who comes and looks It over,
measures the plates and notes their con
dition and makes an offer; an offer that Is
likely to be satisfactory, for plate glass Is
a valuable commodity, and hte dealer Is
ready to give what It Is worth. Salvage
glass In good condition can be sold at a
price not very far below that of new.
Broken plate glass the house wrecker and
dealer In second-hand building materials
takes to his own storehouses, and this he
may sell along In smaller or larger quan
tities to various buyers, keeping whatever
Is not sold In this manner until he has ac-
cumlated a lot of such glass, enough
to pay for handling, when he sells the lot to
a dealer in salvage glass. And the dealer
in second-hand building materials can sell
broken sheet glass to glaziers for repair
work.
Much of the salvage dealers' stock comes
from the plate glass insurance companies.
These companies have different methods.
One company, for Instance, keep no
stock of glass on hand, but buys whenever
glass is required to replace a broken pane,
selling the broken pane? if enough of It re
mains to sell, to a salvage dealer. Another
company may keep a warehouse of Its own

to which It remrvee broken glass that rosy
still be In fit condition for use.
Perhaps one comer has been broken from
a big light, practically new; such a pane
can be rut down to fit some smaller win
dow. In these days most plate glass every
where Is Insured, but not all of it Is. If an
uninsured plate Is broken the owner goes
to a dealer, new or salvsge. and gets
fresh plate put In, selling the broken glass
to the salvage dealer; and so from the in
surance companies and the house wreckers
and from uninsured glass the salvage
dealers accumulate great stocks of second
hand plate glass, which Is disposed of In
various ways.
Some of It may be In such condition that
it can be reset anywhere; some of It may
be sold to go Into windows In streets less
conspicuous. A big plate may coma In ith
a deep scratch In the middle. From such a
plate they cut out a strip containing the
scratch, leaving, perhaps, two clear smaller
plates available for smaller windows.
Architects may specify that new glas
shall be used In construction, but more or
less salvsge glass Is used In rrpalr work
and In replacing sheet glass. In a down
town city building that was built with
windows of sheet glass the windows have
been rrglszed with salvage plate, as have
been also the glass windows In the par
titions of the offices on tho ground flo.ir.
You might find a scratch hero (and then
on this glass If you looked for scratches,
but the salvage plate Is a big Improvement
on the old sheet.
Glaziers buy the salvage plite to replac
broken glass In smaller windows or to re
place sheet glass. There Is an Interesting
detail connected with the use of plate glass
In place of sheet glass In windows that are
made to be raised.
Plate glass weighs about three times as
much as sheet glass, and. of course. t
make the windows work properly the as!i
weights must be correspondingly Incrcas, d
In weight. Now, In the sash weight pocke'.s
of the window framing as originally c in
structed for windows with sheet glass th.-re
wouldn't be room for Iron weights of the
additional length required by the added
weight needed for plate; for with the addt d
weight required the sash weights would
be so long that you couldn't raise the
window to Its full height or pull It down
correspondingly. So, when they replace
sheet glass with plate In a window that
opens, they replace also the Iron sath
weights with weights of the same size of
lead, which Is three times heavier.
Salvage plate that Is too much scratched
to be used again for window gluss may be
made Into ground or frosted glass for us
In office partitions or doors.
Some of the salvage plate glass too small
for use in window purposes is used for the
glass doors of refrigerators; larger pieces
may he used for glass table tops. A good
many small fragments are cut for use as
small hand mirrors, though only clear
pieces of glsss can be used for this purpos
Quantities of salvage plate of pieces 1 10
small for any sort of windows are" used
for making glass signs. A dealer In salvsge
glass would not consider as remarkable an
order for IO.O09 strips of plate glass cut to
specified dimensions to be made into glass
signs.
80 the salvage glass has many uses, but
after the last merchantable piece has been
cut from It there still remains the scraps
and fragments that accumulate in the cut
ting. Even the scraps snd fragments can
be sold; they don't bring much, but they do
bring something, and these are melted up
and used In the manufacture of bottles.
