The Antiquity Of Glass.

Glass has been employed, we know,
both for decorative and domestic pur-
poses since the dawn of civilization The
earliest remains date from Egypt 3064
B. c., and are preserved in the British
Museum. 1t is an amulet in the form
of lions head, of Opaque blue color,
with hieroglyphics that determine its
date. On the rock cut tombs of the
metropolis of Memphis glass blowers
were depicted as early as 1900 B. c.
Stories are told by Pliny. Josephus and
other writer's to account for it's discov-
cry; but those are very doubtful, so
that we have only to rely upon facts
attested by actual remains. The dis
covery was doubtless fortuitous; such
lucky finds are often the work of chance.
When 1t occurred we cannot determine:
but so far as We know, Egypt, as she
was the germ of all civilizations. was
also the mother of this art, which she
applied to a multitude of purposes
strangely excepting that which we
deem most necessary; namely, to adj
NIT light into buildings. The dwellers
by the Nile handed down the art to
the Phoenicians, who in like manner
bequeathed 1t to the Assyrians; then
1T was passed along to the Persians and
the Greeks; then to the Romans and
the Byzantines, who in turn communi-
Gated 1t to the Venetians the monks

Corporal Tanner Immediately got the
floor and stated that his high regard
for President Mckinley was not ex-
ceeded by any member of the encamp-

pose to cast any imputation upon the
