AN ERA IN GLASS MAKING.

NJ. de In Bastie's invention marks q dis
tinct era in the history of one Of our most
important industries Never during the
history Of glass manufacture. which ex-
tends over some $500 years: has any radi-
cal change been effected in its character.
The glass blowers Of Egypt, who practlsed
their art before the eXoous of the children
Of Isreal, and representations of whom
have been found on monuments as ancient
as that event. produced a similar glass 10
that Of our. own times. This ha, been
proved by an examination Of glass orna-
mcnts which have been discovered IN tombs
as ancient As the days of Moses. 1t has
been proved, to-, b. IA large bead of glass,
found at .hehes, upon which was inscribed
the name Of monarch who lived 800
wears b. G., and which glass was of the
same specific gravity as our own crown
glass 1t is true Pliny mentions that n
combination was devis'd d in the reign OF
| 7iberius, which produced flexible z lass;
but both the inventor and apparatus were
DESTROYED. IN order, il is said, to prevent
the valne Of copper. silver, and gold. from
becoming derrcciatel There Is however,
no evidence whatever that this was the
Itoucheninr process Of De Ia Easiie. nor

MAN NOT DECENERATiNC.

There never was Ielusion with less eri
dence for it. except n permanent impression
among mankind. which is often the result,
not Of accumulated experience. but Of an

state Of things. Their, is not the slightest
evidence anywhere that man was ever big

under the same conditions Of climate than he

THE TRIBES. or WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

Mr.. John Forrest, of the rDfhfs Anthro =
biological Institute, in giving an account oi
the natives Of Western Australia, states
that they are divided into two great tribes
Jornderuss and Balavook, which al again
divided into innume-abte subitribes. These
great tribes are exogamous; Jorndernss
may not marry a Jornderuss, but must take
= Ballayook Wife stealing is a constant
source Of quarreling among them, and the
women are frequently speared or killed
The children belong to the mother's tribe
Tatoong and marking on the shoulder ana
breast are almost universal among these
tribes. The rite of circumcision IS prac
,ised by all the tribes thas Mr., Forrest met
with. except those OF the southwest corner
of Australia 1t is a religious ceremony,
and the men and women part for a fort
night upon the occasion of 1t. The natives
of the interior are entirely without clothing
and suffer much from the cold They sleep
in the open air, except in wet weai her.
when they build small huts. Cannlbalism
is common in the interior.

The rich mans son inherits lands,
And piles Of brick, and stone, and gold,
And he inlierits soft white hands,
And tender flesh that fears the cold,
Nor dares to wear garment old;
A heritage it seems to me-
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
The rich ans sons inhprlts cares;
The bank may break the factory burn,
breath may burst his bubble shares,
And soft white hands could scarcely earn
A living that would serve his turn;

The Strange Disease.

LIKE the thief at night, it steals in upon
US unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes in
the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has bad taste, especially in the
morning. sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is feeling like heavy load on the
stomach, sometimes a faint, all-g gone sensa-
ton at the pit of the stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel CLAM
my. After awhile cough sets in, at first
dry, but after Z few months it is attended
with greenish-colored expectoration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not appear to afford any rest After a
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil fOrcbOdinCs. There is
giddincss, sort OF whirlinS sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costive, the skin is dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick and
stagnant. the whites Of the eyes become
tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and
highcolorcd, depOsiting a sediment after
standing. There is frequently splitting up
of the food, sometimes with q sour taste
and sometimes q sweetish taste. This is
frequently attended with palpitation Of the
heart. The vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes. There is a feeling of
great pTostration and weakness. All of
these symptoms do not make their appear
ance at one time, but during the various
stages they are in turn present. 1t is
thought that nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some of its varied
forms. 1t has been found that medical men
have mistaken the nature of this disease.
Some have treated it for liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, Others for kidney dis
ease, ETC., etc, but none of these various
kinds of treatment have been attended with
success. 1t is found, however, that the

A Queer Fish.

A mouthless fish has been ascertained
to occur in the Ouachita River, by DIR.
G. w. Lawrence. 1t is tire Buffalo
Standardization 6at6dlUS of natural
lists. The specimen described is fifteen
inches long, apparently in good condi-
ton, the curious malformatiOn being
evidently congenital-not a result of ac,
cident or injury. The principal bones
of both Jaws are absent and the skin is
tightly extended over the place of the
missing maxillaries.r < In the center Of
this expansion of skin there is a small
oval aperture, one-fourth of an inch
long by one eighth wide, suflicing to adj,
NIT a current of water, for the purpose
of respiration; but it is difficult to I'M
derstand how such a fish could feed
DIR. Lawrence observes that a few OF
these deformed fish are caught every
wear in the Ouaehita-sometimes with
the oval orifce smaller than as above
described or absent altogether. In this
latter condition the fish could only sup
ply itself with food and with water for
respiration through the branchial aper-
ture by alternating outward and inward
movements of the opercula.

A Very Ancient Wall in Mississippi.

About eighteen miles from Port Glib
son, and one mile from Brandywine
Springs, on the place of Mr.. O'Quin,
the existence of great number of blocks
of cut stone has been known for an in
definite time, and the people in the
neighborhOod have used them for props
for their houses. Mr.. James Gage, Jr.,
went ont there few days ago to ex-
plore, and had a specimen stone brought
into town. 1t is about three feet long,
by about twenty inches square, resem-
bling in shape bar of soap. It is
probably a native sandstone. Mr.. Gage
took this block himself from beneath
the roots of large pine tree. Informed
portion of a wall about twenty feet
broad on the top, which Mr. Gage traced
for distance of two hundred and fifty
yards. The inference that one would
naturally draw from this superficial
view is that this must have been city
wall, but deep exploration might show
it to be a portion of a fort, temple or
other building. Any way, its antiquity
is probably immense, antedating the
history of the red men.-POrt Gibson
