Antiuuity of Glaxa.

So far as research has been able to
determine glass was in use 1000 years
before the birth of Christ and was
even then not in its infancy by any
manner Of means. In the Slade collec-
ton at the British museum there is the
head of lion nodded in glass. bearing
the name Of an Egyptian king of the
eleventh dynasty. This is the oldest
specimen Of pure glass bearing any
thing like IA date now known to exist.
The invention now known as "bleez-
ing" the mode of vanishing pottery
with a thin film of glass is believed to
date back to the first Egyptian dynas-
ty. Proof Of this is found in the pot
terry beads, glass glazed. found in the
tombs of the age above referred to.

Coehburn in 1875 described a tree at
