It is claimed that glass roofing is at once better, more durable, and cheaper than slate. Thc glass is usually opaque, but may be translucent or clear if desired.' The exposed parts of the shingles are corrugated. The shingles lap at the sides, are closely interlocked, and t>ne revit suffices for a pair of hinges. It takes but 150 of these shingles, Sin. by 12., to cover a square of 100 square feet, the waste is so small ; whereas, of slates of the same size, 300 are required.
