GLASS KEPT CLEAR OF MOISTURE.
The glass of windows, wind shields, and goggles soon loses its transparency when moisture is condensed upon it. A recently-patented process prevents this by coating the surface with a layer of transparent, gelatinous substance, insoluble in water under ordinary conditions, which possesses the quality of absorbing and dissipating- moisture. This coating may be toughened, softened, or tinted by "tlie addition of oilier substances. Indoors, tlie use of the coating on walls hides the discolorationn due to “sweating,” and mirrors may also bo kept clear by the same means. The water vapour has no appreciable effect on the substance, which continues automatically to exercise its alternative functions of abscripti’on and release of moisture for an indefinite time.
