Tn a book Of curiosities we read:
There was an artificisr in Rome
who made vessels of glass of so
tenacious q temper that they were
az little liable to be broken IS those
that are made of gold and silver.
When, therefore, he had made a
vial of the purer sort, and such IS
be thought a present worthy OF
Cesar alone, he was admitted into
the presence OF the then Emperor
Tiberius. The gift was praised, the
<skillful hand of the artist appla1ded,
and the donation Of the giver &C
copied. The artist, that he might
enhance the wonder of the specta-
tors and promote himself vet fur
Their in the favor of Their Emperor,
,desiered the vial out of Csesar's hand,
and threw 1t with such force against
the floor that the most solid metal
would have received some damage
or bruise thereby. Caesar was not
only amazed, but affrighted with the
act; but the artist, taking up the
vial from the ground (Which was
not broken, but only bruised togeth
4er, as If the substance of the glass
had put on the temper Of brass),
drew out an instrument from his
bosom and beat it out to it's former
figure. This doGe, he imagined
that he had conquered the world, as
believing that he had merited an &C.
,~auaintance with Cesar and raised
the admiration of all the beholders,
but it fell out otherwise, for the
Emperor inquired if any other per-
son besides himself was privy to the
like tempering of glass. Whom be
told him NO. he commanded biz
attendants to strike off his head say
ing That should this artifce come
once to be known, gold and silver
would be of as little value as The
dirt In the street. Long after this

other rare presents then sent from

Spain, were six mirrors of mallabl'
