Paris herself again in 1878-9 . teslabs and tiles have also been used in the stable built for thePrince of Wales from the designs of Mr. Gilbert Pw example of constructive ingenuity is presented in bent-wood conservatory, built upon a principle whichprevents its moving and cracking the glass, and illustrating a suc-jful attempt to obtain a maximum of strength with a minimumof material; the doorways being constructed to act as buttresses,and the whole structure being bound together by bent bars andlattice girders. A new method of glazing is likewise shown bythe adoption of which glass structures can be erected withoutskilled labour, paint, or putty in a very short time. Each sheetof glass is turned up at one edge, turned down at the other, and GOLD MEDALLISTS. 151 hooked at the top something like a common roof tile, and can beput up and taken down with facility.
