The priests of P'tah at Memphis we're
great glassmakers, and, says one au-
thority. mot only had factories for
common glass. but, profiting by their
discovery of the pr perry of oxides of
metals, which they got from India, of
vitrifving different scolors conceived
the project OF initiating all the precious
stones which commerce brought them
from that country.
They were favored by nature, more
over, in having at hand an unlimited
supply of pure sand and kali; and their
glass derived its good quality, as well
from these substances as from the
further fact that in its preparation they
utilized the ashes OF peculiar genus
of kelp that grew in abundance
bv the Lake Mareotis and the Red sea.
They initiated amethysts and other
precious stone with wonderful dexter

glass, they must have been aware of
