Lost Arts.

ours is an extraordinary age Our age, its
wonders and improvements are the standing
theme. They are like the man whom Coleridge
mentions ms taking of his hat with respects tohen
speaking of himself The age vaunts much of
its achievements in science and literature; and
yet these very boasts have been oudone ages since,
by nations now passed away. Every new devel-
opement of science, every new research throwing
light upon The arts OF the ancents, prove them to
have been in possession OF many now entirely lost,
and that they performed wonders which we not
only do not equal but cannot even perceive howt they
were performed Even on the hitherto accoun-
ted neO world, like RobinsonCrusoe on his island,
we have discovered in the Ruins of Central Amer
lea, the footprints of nation long sunk into OBJ
livion. These traces show, that they, too, like
the people ofthe East, were in possession of arts
now lost These arts can be considered under
four divisions Glass, Colors, Metals, and then
miscellaneous articles and facts.
GLASS. This was long time believed to be a
modern invention. Within fifty years, four quarto
volumes were written in Italy 10 prove, in oppos-
zion to Pliny, that the article unknown TO the
.ancients; and on the very day that these volumes
published, warehouse was opened in Pom
pei, filled with cut, wrought, pressed, and stained
glass, far more beautiful and perfect than are now
manufactured. There is glass found too, among the
iemains Of Central America. Ia the museum of
Florence, have seen piece of glass which was
long supposed TO be a gem, inch square by a
quarter OF an inch thick, on which represented
birds. which could be seen equally well on both
sides, and their plumage perfect that the micro
scope shows n it no fault or want OF finish; and
though il apparently mosaic, it is impossible to
detect where or how it was put together. The ART
OF making them so is not known, and we cannot i'm
agine how i, could be done. Plny tells of a
drinking glass which could be folded up as 10
occupy small space, and which was destroyed
aud lis construction kept a secret by its inventor,
because his monarch would no, offer him what he
considered sufficient sum for its invention. The
mooein with al their arts. cannot equal the beaut

was TO that OF Egypt

men of the party determined TO test the reported
buoyancy OF the water by personal experience
They state that where the water was five feet
deep, they were SO buoyed up that they could on
ly touch the bottom with the points OF their toes
Advancing 10 where The water was six inches
deeper, their feet were SUDDENLY taken under them,
and they were thrown in horizontal position up
on the the surface Of the wafer They could not
remain in perpendicular position without some
effort. They then swan 10 where the water was
extremely deep, and endeavored 10 sink which
they found impossible even with some effort to do
so. They could walk in water equally as well
as on land with their heads entirely above the
water. They found that they could sit and con-
verse easy as on divan. A strong breeze came
on from the South, and with it a heavy swell ---
They described the sensation produced by riding
on the sea, without a vessel or plank under them,
as very singular One of them bad never before
yentuted beyond bis depth in water--while here
he was enabled, without the sense of danger, to
60 any distance from the land They became con.
WINGED that what had been said respecting the
great specific gravity and buoyancy Of the water
Of the Dead Sea is entirely correct
