Comfort in travelling is an important
consideration, and the newest idea for
journey is one worth regarding. Dodg-
ing railroad cinders and dust is some.
thing not to be thought of. When q
thoroughly clean railroad trip is posi-
bic. the millennium will have arrived,
and this period is still. according to all
beliefs, long distance off. But, owing
to simple thought of practical man,
the traveller can now protect his or her
hat, which was out of the question be-
fore.
A humble paper bag, obtained from
the nearest grocer, is the god of the ma
chine. This is folded compactly and
slowed away in the pocket Tin the hand

and is pocketless). Before the cars start
the bag is. opened, the hat placed there
in, the bag pinned across it's mouth and
the whole laid in the rack. Thereafter,
until the destination is all but reached,
the traveller need have no thought of
his headgear, for no dust or cinders can
reach it, 1t will be found in the best of
condition upon opening. So simple is
this device that it is a wonder it was

Tie earliest remains date from Egypt
5CG4 b. @. and are preserved in the
British museum. 1t is an amulet, in the
form of a lions head, of opaque blue
color, with hieroglyphics that determine
its date. On the rock cut tombs of tine
metropolis of Memphis glass blowers
were depicted as early as 5000 B. C.
Stories are told by Pliny. Josephus and
other writers to account for it's discov-
cry, but these are very dou btfuI, so that
we have only to rely upon facts attested
by actual remains.
The discovery was doubtless fortui-
tous. Such lucky finds are often the
work of chance. When it occurred, we
cannot determine; but, SO far as we
know, Egypt, as she was the germ of
all civilization, was also the mother of
this art, which she applied to multi
tude OF purposes, strangely excepting
that which we deem most necessary
namely, to admit light into buildings.
The jewellers by the Nile handed
down the art to the Phenicians, who
in like manner bequeathed it to the AS
syrians. Then it was passed along to
the Persians and the Greeks, then to
the Romans and the Byzantines, who
in turn communicated it to the Vene-
tians. The monks of the middle ages
appropriated it to beautify their Gothic
temples, and so it came down the centu-
ries to modern times. Frank H. Vize-
