HOW OLD Is GLASS.

THE oldest specimen Of pure glass bear
ins anything like date is little nodded
ions head, bearing She name Of an Egyp.
sian king Of the eleventh dynasty, In the
Slade collection at the British Museum.
That is to say, at a period which may be
moderately placed as more than 1000 years
B. @, glass was not only made, but made
with q skill which shows that the art was
nothing new. The invention of glazing
pottery with film of varnish or glass is SO
old that among the fragments which bear
inscriptions of the early Egyptian monar.
chy are beads possibly, Of the first dynasty.
OF later glass there are numerous examples,
such as a bead found at Thebes, which hos
the name of Queen Hatasoo or Hashep, Of
the eighteenth dynasty. OF the same
period ore vases and goblets and many
fragments. 1t cannot be doubted that the
story prepared by Pliny, which assigns the
credit Of the invention to the Ph9nicians,
is 80 far true that these adventurous mer-
chants brought specimens to other ooun-
tries from Egypt. DR.. schliemann found
disks Of glass in the excavations at Myce-
nae, though Homer does not mention 1t as
substance known to him That the mod
ern art Of the glass blower was known long
before is certain from representations
among the pictures on the walls Of tomb
at B,ni Hassan, of the twelfth Egyptian
dynasty; but a mach older picture, which
probably represented the same manufac
tnre, is among the half oblitarated scenes
in chamber of the tomb of Thy at SAX
kara, and dates from the time OF the Rfti,
dynasty, time SO remote that it is not
possible, in spite of the assiduous re-
searches of many Egyptologers, to give it
date in years.-Aethodist.

Lost Dog Insurance.

A new kind Of insurance is that of
lost, strayed. stolen or impounded
dogs. The dog insurance company
registers the dog to be insured, with its
full description, and provides tag OF
the insurance company bearing the
number by which 1t is registered, which
tag must be constantly worn, together
with It's city license tag.
The insurance company keeps a man
at each pound to release any dog bear
ing q tag OF the company and return 1t
to its owner. This is great conven-
ience to the owners Of valuable pets.
and saves the dogs from contracting
the diseases which are SO numerous
and contagious In such place. 1t also
saves both dog and owner much misery
and anxiety, to say nothing Of the ex-
pense and tiresome red tape which are
necessary to release dog from the
pound.
Detectives are regularly employed by
the company to trace any dog the mo-
ment 1t is reported missing.
Every person pledges himself to re-
port to the association any dog which
he finds wandering about apparently
lost and bearing a tag Of the company.
