A historian has it that as early as four
centuries before Christ these metal mir
rors were in such ommon use among
the Romans that any maid servant could
have as many as she could hang ut he:
girdlc, which probably accounts for the
fact that they gradually fell into desue-
tude among ladies of the higher classes
and led to the introduction of substi-
tutes. 1t is hardly to be supposed, how
ever, that it was thisfact which induced
some ingenious person so to cut and bur-
nish the inside of drinking cup as to re-
fleet the face of the drinkcr many times
i'll a highly warning manner.
In addition to the small hand mirrors
which it used to be the particular duty
OF some unfortunate yorng slave to hold
before her mistress, there We're panclsof
stone set i'll the walls and so highly pol
1sted as to serve as mirrors. 1t wa5this
use of dark stone that first suggested
the use of glass for rejecting purposes,
which according to Pliny, was first man
ufacturcd at the glass works of u gem
tleman named Sidon. Black glass was
first used; aftcrwurl clear glass with
black foil on the back replaced il. Pliny
tells us all about this, and from this time
on no mention is male of glass mirrors
until tho Thirteenth century, when u
franciscan monk, Johannes Peckllam,
speaks of mirrors, not only of polished
marble and steel, but also of glass coy
cred with lead on the back.
By this time the amalyam used in
making glass mirrors was much like
that of today, the difference being i'll tho
method of its application. The process
was to spread tinfoil on u plain surface,
to pour mercury oven that and rub tho
two together with the hand or with a
harc's foot. Tho amalgam thus formed
was then covered with paper, over
which glass was laid. The paper was
then Withdrawn and weights pressed on
the glass, pressing out the excess of mer-

FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Tragic Death at Sandy Friday
Evening.
A Falling Gun Nearly Blows Of the Head of
Alexander r Mitchell Funeral
Services Today.

An inquest was held yesterday afternoon
on the body OF Alexander r. Mitchell of
Sandy, who met his death on Friday
evening by the accidental discharge of a
gun. The jury returned verdict of acct
dental death from gunshot wound, caused
by the negligence or carelessness of the
deceased.
1t seemed that Mitchell, who in partner
ship with NJ |. Morris, ran chicken ranch,
was troubled by hawks stealing his fowls,
and went out with his gun for the purpose
OF shooting some of the thieving birds of
prey which were lowering around. For
some reason he placed the gun against the
house with the triggers cooked. Some
thing caused the gun TO fall over and in the
fall 1t went off and both charges entered
the head Of the unfortunate man. The
flesh OF his face was torn off
and his eyes shot out and he
was Tearfully burnt by the powder.
he never spoke after the report of the gun
was heard and death was instantaneous. No
one was present when the dreadful acci-
dent happened. His partner, Mr.. Morris.
was the first to arrive on the scene and see
the body sweltering IN pools OF blood.
Mitchell was an unmarried man, 81 years
OF age. He was a native of Canada, and
came to this city from Milwaukee,, where
he has relatives who have been informed
by telegraph of the awful tragedy. He was
we'll known in this city, having been for
two years manager of the Union Pacific
coal yards. He was very popular amongst
large circle OF friends. The funeral will
take place at D. m. from the residence Of
Alexander Mitchell, in Perkins addition.
