MANUFACTURE
OF GLASSWARE
The Art Goes Back to a Time
Beyond the knowledge
Of the Wisest.
THE DISCOVERY AN ACCIDENT

The art Of glass manufacture goes
back into antiquity to time when
the mind of man runneth not to the
contrary yet we cannot penetrate the
mists which hang over the infancy of
what has for ages been useful indus
try. Its original discovery is alleged,
on the authority of several reputable
writer's, to have been the result of an
accident in which some nitrum (suppos-
ed by some to have been SALT was
fused with sand. The date OF this
event is not even approximately given,
but is said to have taken place on the
banks Of the Belus, In Palestine, where
some mariners had landed and were
cooking their meals, using blocks Of
nitrum to hold their pots In position.
Sir Gardner Wilkinson gives cut
of piece Of Egyptian sculpture work
which represents two glassblowers ply
ing their art IN manner sissc.hi strikes
one as being surprisingly like that
practiced at the present time. Sir
Gardner informs us that this sculpture
was executed about $500 years ago
during the reign of Benz Hassan. The
ban paintings and sculptures which
are known to date back to the time of
the exodus, 400 B. G., show glass
drinking vessels Of delicate patterns
and fine workmanship, in some in
stances rivaling similar vessels Of mod
ern make.

A PALACE OF ICE.
Cavern In Hungary That Ii One OF
the Marvels of Europe.

Cavern In Hungary That Ii One of
the Marvels of Europe.
The ice cavern near Dobschau, Hun
gary, is one of the most remarkable
but least known marvels of Europe.
Though spoken Of as cavern, In reali-
ty it is an ice palace, the roof, floor and
walls being of ice, sometimes Opaque,
sometimes as diaphanous as glass. The
frozen water assumes many quaint and
beautiful forms. Pillars, vases. grottoes,
couches and waterfalls meet the eye
at every turn.
Herr Ruffiny has the honor Of being
its discoverer. One day while shooting
among the hills he was startled by the
peculiar echo of his gun, an echo which
suggested the near presence of vast
cavity or hollow. After a long search
he was rewarded by finding a small
aperture in the hillside overgrown by
bushes and trees. The next day he re-
turned, accompanied by two friends.
who lowered him by ropes into the
space. AS he swung into the darkness
bitter cold, which increased as he de-
scended, was felt.
At last he felt his feet touch the
ground, and, looking around him, he
found himself in a vast hall which he
could but dimly see. The ice palace
was discovered.

A sturdy Reality.

Any unperverted mind will conceive
Of the Scriptural idea Of prayer as that
of one of the most downright, sturdy
realities in the universe. Right in the
heart of Gods plan of government 1t
is lodged as a power. Amid the con-
flicts which are going on in the evolu-
tion of that plan 1t stands as power.
Into all the intricacies of divine work
ing and tina mysteries Of divine decree
1t reaches out silently as power. In
the mind of God, we may be assured.
the conception of prayer is no fiction,
whatever man may think Of it More
things are wrought by prayer than
this world dreams of."-Austin Phelps.

Angus Hamilton In his book on Ko-

LAKE CICOTT.
The Secret of Its Rise and Fall Is a
Deep Mystery.

The Secret of Its Rise and Fall Is a
Deep Mystery.
Lake Cicott has been an interesting
phenomenon to the people of northern
Indiana for many years, but the secret
of it's rise and fall has never been dis
covered. 1t is the only lake in Cass
county and is about one mile wide and
about one mile long. The water is
clear and cold and perfectly fresh. It's
most mysterious characteristic is the
fact that it overfows its banks every
seventh year. The farmers who own
the land upon its banks have become
so used to this that they never at
tempt to cultivate the land in the sew
enth year, but give it up without pro-
test, as they know 1t is sure to be
claimed by the waters.
The Pottawatomie Indians, who in
habited what is now Cass and adjoin-
ing counties, were familiar with the
characteristic of the lake. They be-
lieved that the bottom was inhabited
by powerful spirit, which at inter
walls of seven years caused the lake to
overflow. They construed this action
as approval Of the tribe by the spirit
and watched anxiously for the time to
come, for they saw in the rising waters
sure indication that they had done
nothing to displease it. The early
white settlers became acquainted with
the legend, and the oldest inhabitant is
not able to recall time that the over
flow did not take place when expected.

One Cent Claims Against Uncle Sam.
There have been several one cent
claims against the United States gov
ernmcnt. One was by the Southern
Pacific, which submitted a bill of $500
for hauling government freight. 1t

bills against the government being.

roads credit on the bonds. In this
case it's credit was $5.29 and its cash a
cent. Another government obligation
of single cent was in favor of d
chemical company which for some UNI
explained reason agreed in public
competition to supply 1892 pounds of
ethyl ether for a cent. The offer was
accepted. There were nine signatures,
enc that Of rear admiral, on the pa
per relating to the establishment Of
this claim, and the warrant for pay
ment had to be signed by several per-
sons.

God Hears,

Prayer must be addressed to the Fa-
Their. AS soon as we utter that sacred
nancy the divine nature responds and,
to pft 1t vividly, is on the alert to hear
what we desire, A little child cannot
utter sigh however slight, sob how
ever smothered, without awakening
the quick attention of its mother, and
at the first whisper of our Fathers
name He is at hand to hear and bless.
Alas, we have too often grieved His
Holy Spirit by string Of selfish petit
lions or number Of formal platitudes!
To the wonderment of angels we thus
fritter away the most precious and sa-
cred opportunities. Be still, then, be-
fore you pray to consider what to ask.
Order your prayers for presentation
and be sure to begin the blessed inter-
view with words Of sincere and loving
appreciation and deyotion.-Rev. F. B..

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.


the Lyons Mail.
The most famous Of all cases Of mis-
taken identity is that of L,esurques,
charged with the robbery and murder
OF the courier of the Lyons mail, which
has been SO vividly brought home to us
through the dramatic play based upon
it. LesurQues was positively identified
as man who had Travelled by the mail
coach, and be was in due course con-
victed. Yet at the eleventh hour a
woman came into court and declared
his innocence, swearing that the wit
nesses had mistaken him for another,
Duboscq, whom he greatly resembled.
She was the confidant. Of one Of the
gang who had planned and carried out
the robbery. But her testimony, al
though corroborated by other confed-
crates, was rejected, and Lesurques re-
,ceived sentence Of death. Lesurques
died protesting his innocence to the
last : 0aT years elapsed before On
boscq was captured. In the interval
Others Of the gang had passed through
the hands Of the police, but the prime
mover was only now taken. Even
then he twice escaped from prison.
When finally be was put on his trial
and the judge ordered fair wig, such
as Lesurques had worn, to be placed
on his head, the strange likeness was
Immediately apparent. He denied his
guilt, but was convicted and guillo-
tined. Thus two men suffered for one
.offense.

Basted Lives,

Character is not determined by
single act, but by habitual conduct. 1t
is a fabric made up Of thousands of
threads and put together by uncounted
stitches. Some characters are stoutly
sewed; others are only basted. A
Christian ought not only to have his
spiritual garments well sewed, but
kept clean. In fact, as representative
of Jesus Christ, he ought to present
such an attractive apparel before the
world that others should say to him:
where did you get this? want one
just like it." Theodore L. Cuyler,
