THEBES GLASS WORKERS.
The High Art That Flourished Over
Forty Centuries Ago.

The High Art That E1Ourished Over
Forty Centuries Ago.
The glassbIowerS of ancient Thebes
are known to have been equally as pro-
ficient in that particular art as is the
y1oSt scientific craftsman OF the saTe
nade of the present day. after a lapse
of over forty centuries of SO called
progress They were well acquaint-
I'd with the art of staining glass and
are known to have produced that COM
modify i'm great profusion and perfec-
ton. Rossellini gives an illustrat ton
Of a piece of stained glass known to
be 1000 years old which displayed ar
tistic taste Of high order. both in tint
and design.
In this case the color is struck
through the vitrified structure. and he
mentions designs struck entirely in
pieces from a half to three-quarters of
an inch thick. the color being perfectly
incorporated with the structure of the
piece and exactly the same on both the
diverse and reverse sides.
The priests of P'tah at Memphis
were adopts in the glassmaker's art.
and not only did they have factories
for manufacturing the common crystal
variety. but they had learned the vitri-
flying of the different colors and of im-
itating precious stones to perfection.
Their limitations of the amethyst and
of the various other colored gems were
so true to nature that even now, after
they have lain in the desert sands from
1000 to 1000 years, it takes an expert
to distinguish the genuine articles from
the spurious. 1t has been shown that.
besides being experts in glassmaklng
and coloring. they also used the dia-
mond in cutting and engraving. In
the British museum there is n beauti-
full piece of stained glass with an ell
graved emblazonment of the monarch
Thothmes I'LL, who lived 3,4OO years
ago.

In many Of the recent college foot

OF the game more ineligible to the
