THEBES GLASS WORKERS.
The High Art that FIourished OveI
Forty Centuries Ago.

The High Art that F1ourished Over
Forty Centuries Ago.
The glassblowers Of ancient Thebes
are known to have been equally as pro-
ficient in that particular art as is the
most scientific craftsman of the same
trade Of the present day, after lapse
of over forty centuries of so called
progress. They were well ecquaint-'
ell with the art of staining glass and
are known to have produced that COM
modify in great profusion and perfec-
ton. Rosseiiini gives an illustration
of piece Of stained glass known to
be 1000 years old which displayed ar
and design.
In this case the color IS struck
through the vitrified structure, and he
mentions designs struck entirely in
pieces from 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 i'm
itatng 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 1900 to 1000 years, it takes an
expert to distinguish the genuine arti-
cles from the spurious. 1t has been
shown that, besides being experts in
glassmaking and coloring. they also
used the diamond in cutting and en-
craving. In the British museum there

jury, after three hours deliberation,
brought in verdict of guilty.
The circumstances surrounding the
murder of Elizabeth Gillespie and the
social prominence in Indiana of all
the actors in the tragedy, attracted
widespread attention to the case. The
Gillespie family was one of the oldest
and proudest in Indiana. James Gill
lespie and his sister, Elizabeth, were
twins. They were inseparable as chill
dren and young people. The girl be-
came engaged at the age of 20, but on
her brothers account broke the en-
gagement. Though no word of trouble
leaked out this beautiful society wo-
man from that time grew in appear
ance from a young girl to an aged
woman, her hair turning almost snowy
white within a year. She never mar
ried nor did her brother. James
Elizabeth devoted herself to the care
of her widowed mother and threw her
self heart and soul into plans which
afforded pleasure to others. She was
leader in the social world and in
church work. Then came trouble be
tween her and her brother, and fam
lily feud was brought on which culmi-
mated in murder. James Gillespie left
his mothers house and went to live
with his other sister, Mrs. Belle Sew.

Planting the New Tree.

A great many trees are lost because
of the poor manner in which they are
set. Instead of digging up the ground
deeply and for considerable width
a mere hole is dug sometimes not
more than two feet in diameter. The
Soil is perhaps clayey, and this hoe
serves as sort of catch basin, holding
water after every rain. The roots OF
the trees are soon "mudded in," and
air is shut off from them. The result
is that the tree merely holds it's own,
but does not grow. In a year or two,
perhaps, the tree is dead and a new
one has been planted in it's place, tc
likewise die. Water is a very i'm.
portant factor in the growth of trees.
but too much water makes growth i'm.
possible. This is not the only result
with the struggling tree. The devel.
opment Of the root system is made i'm.

the tree is blown over, simply because
it's roots do not have a good hold. OF
the earth. Had the ground been loos.
ened up in all directions the water
would not have collected in the imme.
date vicinity of the tree and the roots
would have shot out in all directions,
developing multitude of rootlets To
lay firm hold of the earth and hold
the tree up against any blast.

SunscaId and Borers.

In making the trees lean to the
southwest, so the body of the tree is
shaded and the sun does not strike
it, so as to scald the bark, that is
where the borer gets in, where the
bark is scorched, and if the tree is
shaded so as to prevent that, you will
largely prevent the depredations OF
the borer, but most people do not dc
that. We have found that wash of
soft soap, or I've and carbolic acid, put
on the trees about the last of May or
the first of June, and applied two or
three times during the summer, is
very efticacious in preventing the at.
lacks of the apple tree borer. You
take soft soap and reduce it so that it
will flow nicely with brush, but
make it good and strong, and add two
or three ounces of crude carbolic acid
to bncketful, and apply with brush
to the trunks. And that applies tt
the peach borer, as we'll as the apple
borer-Prof. James Troop.
