WEIRD FACES on WINDOW PANEs. Il From
the Sandusky lOhio) Register. I'VE have
often heard the question, why Sankusky and
Milan only are the scenes of these strange
phenomena Our observations satisfy us that
they are very general over this State, and per
haps over the whole world. We discovered in
North Fairfield, Huron county, Ohio few
days since, twelve Of these pictures on one win
dow of a saw-mill One Of them, however,, is
group Of two persons, one OF 4 man with
hat on, the other female, whose face occurs
Immediately in front of the man, both looking
out of the window Some Of the others have
the appearance of ancient philosophers, and
some bear quite strong resemblance to W ash
ington in his old age Also, in the house OF
the owner of the mill, OH an upper window,
there may be seen the pictures OF three persons
looking out Of the window, and there are sew
eral more on the windows OF this house, TO
which it is not worth while to refer especially
Also, on an upper "ihuo" IL g A"NSN :,
house there is large pane Of glass very strlk-
ingly stained, in which VIC can perceive two
pictures We called the attention of our friend,
DR.. Faust-who, by the way, is 10 visionary
but profound man, who believes III the reign
of law-to these pictures; and his impressions
agreed in the main with ours, after little study
Of the stained glasses. Passing on from falr-
field to Plymouth, we discovered these pictures
by the half dozen in that town; one is OF cat
in the postofice window-a lower window on
the left side of the door as you pass in. This
outline is so distinctly defined that no one can
fail to see it after having his attention called to
it. On window of another building there Is one
of a horse; the head and breast only show. This
is also clearly defined outline. There are
also. on other windows Of the same building
pictures of persons which it requires no great
Stretch of fancy to sec. We called the atten
tion Of several persons to these pictures; some
can see them and some cannot.
Nobody can give a satisfactory solution t(
these phenomena. If is natural photograph
ing, as some suggest, why did they not occu
in times past? Some maintain that the proper
tions of the constituents Of glass are dittercn
from what they used to be: that the stain OF
the glass is the result of the sun on this new
glass. But these pictures occur on glass
very ancient date.
