Egyptian Glass Workers

On the walls of The Benz Hassan
tombs the figures of glass blowers with
blow pipes, marvers, crucible and fur
mace, still show az freshly as when
placed there by the artists OF O,lrtasen
l., some three thousand five hundred
years before the christian era, and
among the countless other relics, such
as vases, bottles, cups ard bugules,
found In the valley of the Nile, n neck
lace bead discovered at Thebes, bears
the name of Queen Ramakc, wife of
Thothmes H., who resigned about the
date of the Jewish exodus. In the
sacred colleges of Thebes and Memphis
the systematic pursuit of science and
constant investigation of the mysteries
of nature were objects Of the closest at
t6ntion. The colossal works OF archi-
lecture and sculpture with which the
country is studded could only have
been executed by apcople among whom
the mechanical arts were highly ad-
Vanced, and though the fragllity of
glass renders 1t especially liable to ut
ter destruction, there exists ample evil
dence Ia the specimens now enshrined
In our museums that its manufacture
was carried out 10 "a degree of perfec-
ton that modern science has thus far
Vainly sought tC rival. The glass woI ks
OF Alexandria were especial. y renown-
Cd for their vases with blue and white
grounds and festoons Of colored glass,
and their products were exported to
Rome down TO the days of Aurelian.
Classic authors inform us that the
Egyptians were famous for initiating
gems In colored glass, and bracelets,
earrings and trinkets of the puresl
gold set with these paste gems have
Deen forthcoming TO confirm this state
ment. Other specim ms show thatthey
could not only gild and engrave gla. s
and fuse 1t into colored mosaics, but
that they possessed the art of fusing
gold In glass so as 20 unite-an art
until now looked upon as being as ut
terly lost as that of tempering copper
TO the hardness Of the finest steel
which the Egyptians also practiced.
Hence glass thus instudded with granu-
lated gold has been hitherto regarded
As one OF the rarest and most curious
relics OF antiquity.
