1t is said that some ancient nations
knew how to make malleable glass
which could be formed into any shape
like putty. If this is true the art was
lost long ago, and it is to be hoped

named Joquin, in 1856. He noticed
that the scales of a fish called the
"bleak" gave milky hue to water
and that glass beads dipped in this
water looked like pearls when dried.
