A phenomenological model of Bose elementary excitations is proposed to explain the anomalous thermal properties of glasses at low temperatures (<1 K), namely, the nonlinear temperature dependence of the specific heat, the temperature In T law of the sound velocity. Wealso predict a negative thermal expansion between 0-1 K.
