but when the awakening once starts, its progress while often erratic must be in the right direction. The whole field of development in glass teclmology is before us and the future will undoubtedly bring forth progress resulting from scientific 'application that will certainly be more startling than the wonderful progress we have already seen as a result of mechanical developments. Even this brief review of the status of the technology of the industry and the manufacturers' dependence upon ceramic research would be incomplete without reference to the pioneer

work of the famous German glass firm at Jena. If any manufacturcr doubts the dependence of developments in glaMmaking upon scientific data, let him refer to the growth of the firm of Carl Zeiss in Jena where the development of manufacturing has gone hand-in-hand with the development of the scientific facts upon which the manufacturing is based. There Is no more cornplete answer now available than this marvellous development. It is but typical of what the future must bring forth, PITTSBURGH, PBNNSYLVAHIA
